Replace 1000w Metal Halide With the Omega F2

Replacing 1000w Metal Halide has go to be one of the most subjective statements made by any LED Lighting Company. Virtually everywhere you turn there is someone claiming to have a suitable, “most affordable” replacement. Yet all too often clients are let down by poor performance, less than adequate lighting, resulting in less than optimal foot candles on the property. However that doesn’t have to happen to you! Synergy lighting is proud to release the all new Omega F2 1000w LED Replacement fixture that guarantees to replace your 1000w Metal Halides with nothing less than pure satisfaction! In Fact our Omega F2 is so bright, it will replace (2) of your 1000w Metal Halides with ease, while cutting the number of required fixtures in half!

What It Takes To Replace 1000W Metal Halide with LED

1000W Metal Halide typically produces over 100,000 lumens in the fixture, but fails miserably at delivering those lumens to the ground. This is called light loss factor, combined with natural dimming as the lamp gets older (lumen depreciation). In fact 1000w Metal Halide typically loses 40% of its brightness in the first 6 months of operation. Therefore, many manufacturers try to take advantage of this lumen deficiency to offer an LED Fixture that will be equal to the dim, or old worn out 1000w Metal Halides. They claim this is an “Equal” coming in at around 23,000 delivered lumens, which it technically is and equal, if you really want to light your parking lot to only 60% of the originally designed light levels.

 
In order to truly replace 1000w Metal Halide with LED Lighting, we need to provide an LED Fixture that is “Equal” to a brand new 1000w Metal Halide or better. This means you need an LED Fixture that can deliver 36,000 or more lumens to the ground. The new Omega F2 does just that, plus a little bit more just in case. At only 450 Watts, the Omega F2 delivers 47,250 lumens (105 Lumens Per Watt) providing you an equal plus 20%. But we didn’t stop there…  The Omega F2 also comes in 600w (63,000 Lumens), then we added the 750W (78,750 Lumens) and we just took it one step more to introduce the 900W – (94,500 Lumen) which can more than replace (2) 1000w Metal Halides with only a single LED Light Fixture. That’s insane right? Not when you consider that it costs less to make a fixture that will replace (2) 1000w Metal Halide Fixtures, than it does to buy (2) Fixtures that would each only replace (1) 1000w Metal Halide!

Brilliant Outdoor LED Light For Parking Lots

The Omega F2 delivers brilliant 5000K Pure White Light exactly where you need it! With over 14 different distribution patterns, Synergy Lighting can layout and design the optimal lighting design for any parking lot to maximize on energy efficiency while delivering excellent foot candles, and superior uniformity across the space.

One of the most popular size wall packs to retrofit is the 175 Watt Metal Halide Wall Pack. In the past the only affordable way to convert to LED was to use a screw in lamp where the ballast is by-passed and the led put into the socket. Although that is a good alternative and it works, the draw back is a limitation to a 50,000 hour lamp (10 year life) and the need for cooling fans in order to make sure the led lamp doesn’t over heat. Often the lamps are a 360 degree output requiring the reflector to push out lumens from the rear of the lamp that is not directly emitted from the fixture. Often this was the choice because a new LED Fixture would cost four times (4x) as much and did not justify the higher price. Until now….

1000w metal halide fixtures are most commonly used for Flood and Area Lighting. Because of the high wattage of these fixtures, users have often depended on the higher light levels for safety and security of shopping centers and parking lot lighting. As well these fixtures have been key in promoting and displaying product at automobile dealerships for years. Unfortunately these high wattage fixtures consume a ton of electricity often resulting in demand charges from utility companies. However with advancement in LED Lighting, the 1000w metal Halide Fixture is now a thing of the past.

What Does It take To Replace 1000w Metal Halide?

First we must understand that arming ones self with the facts is the most important key to replacing 1000w Metal Halide. All too often, Auto Dealerships and Business Owners have been left disappointed in their investment with LED Lighting simply because they didn’t know what they were buying.

1000W Metal Halide Fixtures can produce upwards of 100,000 lumens when a new bulb and ballast are installed. Though this may seem like a lot of light, it really isn’t nearly as much as it sounds. This measure is at the arc tube in the center of the 1000w lamp.   Once the light is emitted, it bounces around in the fixture before it is reflected on to the ground.  This causes a drastic drop in lumens by the time the light travels from the fixture to the illuminated surface. Secondly, as the metal halide lamp ages, it is typical for the lamp itself to depreciate by as much as 35 percent within the first six to nine months from the date of installation. The end result is a lumen discharge somewhere in the vicinity of 43,000 lumens.

Now that we have a true lumen value of 43,000 lumens from a 1000w metal halide fixture, we now have to accommodate for and deduce a reasonable amount of light loss from stray emissions. This is light that travels semi horizontally, and sometime vertically away from the illuminated surface and into the sky (Sky Glow). This stray light sometimes referred to as “Sky-Glow” or “Light Trespass” is responsible for another loss averaging 40 percent of the emitted light. This light that never makes it to the actual surfaces to be illuminated is wasted light, and wasted kilowatts of electricity.

Now that we have deduced from the initial 100,000 lumens emitted by the 1000w lamp, to the end result of 26,000 delivered lumens to the illuminated surface, we can now measure the required lumens necessary to replace 1000w Metal Halide with an LED Light Fixture +/- 10 percent. This means that to accurately replace your 1000w metal halide, the LED fixture must produce at least 23,400 delivered lumens, up to 28,600 at a high to be considered an “Equal”.

Benefits of Replacing 1000w Metal Halide With LED

Obviously we all know by now that LED Lighting saves money because it is a lower wattage than Metal Halide and traditional light sources and no longer requires a maintenance expense with replacement bulbs and ballasts. However here are some other benefits you need to know:

Increased Uniformity: Because Metal Halide delivers an intense amount of light from a single pinpoint source, this creates hot spots under the fixture. When using LED Lighting with multiple emitters and focus controlled optics, hot spots are eliminated and a more consistent coverage of light on the ground is created. This reduces the darker areas between poles and smooths out the lighting across a property. This is known as Uniformity. There are several measures such as 20:1, 15:1 and 10:1 enhanced security. This is a measure of how smooth the transition is of light control from one pole to another. The lower the uniformity ratio, the better quality of light across a property.

Increased See-Ability: Though this is a new word you won’t find in the Websters Dictionary, it has become an often used word in the lighting industry to surmise the effect of Scotopic Effect. This is different than Photopic Effect. The basic difference here is how the human eye perceives light. A lumen or foot candle meter reads photopic lumens. Yet the human eye through rods and cones (red, green, blue receptors in the retina), perceive on a scotopic level. Natural Bright Light, constricts the pupils which are dialated at night, and with the color temperature of LED white light, and constricted pupils, the light emitted from an LED Fixture is perceived at a higher level than traditional metal halide. This makes illuminated surfaces appear brighter under LED Light at night. Therefore 26,000 lumens from an LED can appear more light 43,000 lumens from a Metal Halide.
