Retrofitting your current post light fixtures is a great way to reduce your maintenance and energy cost. Metal halides and other high pressure sodium fixtures offer light that we are used to but the cost of operation just isn’t economically friendly. So, why settle? Retrofitting your post light fixtures to LEDs offer you the best of both worlds. Same color. Same lumens. Better efficiency. Better economically. So let’s change your post lights. But first thing is first.
What Is a Post Light?
Post, or pole, light is an outdoor lighting fixture where a light source sits on top of a post, or pole. These lights are used to illuminate a variety of different areas. It is important to know what type of post light you have for a few reasons. You need to know what color temperature your lights are (K), the amount of lumens they produce (Lm), the wattage (W) and their equivalent (listed below). This makes for a more accurate selection when you are shopping for its replacement.
Common Application
Typical applications for post top lights are to add specific area lighting in parks, parking areas, walkways, campuses, residential, and other gathering areas. The wattages used are usually one of the options below. Double check your fixture to ensure you are getting the correct wattage equivalent. If you already know your current fixtures wattage, click the LED equivalent.
Now that you know how to retrofit your post light to LEDs are you ready to convert?
