What is a 250W Metal Halide LED Equivalent?
A 250W metal halide LED equivalent is an industrial-grade LED replacement bulb designed to provide identical or superior lumen output to a traditional 250W metal halide lamp while consuming a fraction of the electricity. These lamps are the primary choice for an HID retrofit in warehouses, parking lots, and gymnasiums. By selecting a 250W MH LED replacement, you eliminate the long warm-up times and rapid lumen depreciation associated with legacy HID technology.
Wattage Comparison: 250W MH vs. LED Efficiency
Transitioning to a 250 watt metal halide equivalent delivers immediate utility savings. Standard 250W metal halide systems typically draw 300 total watts, which can be replaced by 54W to 75W LED systems.
| Traditional Source | Traditional System Wattage | LED System Wattage | Energy Savings |
| 250W Metal Halide | 300W | 75W | 75% |
| 250W Metal Halide | 300W | 63W | 79% |
| 200W Metal Halide | 240W | 54W | 77% |
Advanced Features for 250W LED Retrofits
- Field-Selectable Technology: Many 250W HID replacement bulb models feature switches to adjust wattage and color temperature (3000K, 4000K, 5000K) directly on the lamp.
- Active Cooling & Compact Size: Advanced designs utilize active cooling to reduce lamp size by up to 30%, ensuring they fit into tight traditional ANSI footprints.
- Smart Port Controllability: "Controls Ready" retrofits feature Smart Sensor Ports for plug-and-play microwave motion sensors, photocells, and WiFi modules to maximize automated savings.
- Universal Operating Position: Most LED Corn Bulbs and high-output retrofits support universal mounting, while horizontal models offer rotatable bases for precise light aiming.
- Robust Safety: Includes integrated 4kV to 6kV surge suppression to protect the internal driver from industrial voltage spikes.
