Can you put an LED bulb in a high pressure sodium fixture?

While upgrading to LED provides a lot of benefits, high pressure sodium (HPS) lamps still provide some of the most efficient lighting available. LEDs, however, are better able to control their light, which is why a lower-watt LED can replace a higher-watt high pressure sodium bulb.

WHAT LED is equivalent to a 100w HPS?

LED Light Bulb Conversion Chart

Metal Halide / High Pressure Sodium to LED Wattages Conversion
Original Lamp LED Lamp
100 Watt High Pressure Sodium 50-60 Watt LED
150 Watt High Pressure Sodium 80-90 Watt LED
250 Watt High Pressure Sodium 90-125 Watt LED

How many lumens does a 100w high pressure sodium light produce?

100-watt HPS bulbs provide between 9500 and 10000 lumens of light.

Is a high pressure sodium lamp a type of white light source?

High pressure sodium (HPS) lamps, a member of the high intensity discharge (HID) lamp family, are the most efficient white light source commercially available today.

What is a high pressure sodium (HPS)?

High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Definition – What does High Pressure Sodium (HPS) mean? A high pressure sodium (HPS) light is a type of growth light that is commonly used for indoor gardening. This particular light stimulates plant growth by diffusing the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is ideal for the whole process of photosynthesis.

How does the high pressure sodium lamps work?

High pressure sodium lamps are a type of gas-discharge lamp. This means they create light by sending electricity between electrodes in a bulb which is filled with a noble gas. The noble gas serves a few purposes. Due to its low thermal conductivity, it helps the lamp to start while minimizing loss of energy through heat.

What are high pressure sodium lamps?

High Pressure Sodium Lamps or HPS Lamps. High-pressure sodium lamps (also known as HPS Lamps or HPS lights) are a type of sodium lamp that is widely used in industrial lighting and many public outdoor areas.
