High Pressure Sodium Bulb To LED Bulb Conversion

Thank you for making a video of just doing the thing, and sparing us the 5 minute intro. Great watch. Informative

Thank you for the video!

[@simpleminded5215]

Thanks for posting this video. I have 5 post lamps that have high pressure sodium bulbs. While they look nothing like the fixture you converted I’m sure the wiring is similar. I need to replace the eye in all 5 too. Local electrician wanted $200 per light. I think I can do it for less than half that. Thanks again for the confidence boost.

Glad this video helped you, good luck !!!!!

this seems to be a good video but he made a minute mistake by twisting the white wire ends in the wrong direction

[@dustintunis9347]

Maybe he's south of the equator. 🤣🤣. Good catch, I had to go back and see for myself.

I believe LED is much brighter and more energy efficient my friend

The LED won’t be as bright. I’d just spend the money on a new LED fixture.

Why not clean that lamp a bit before working on it?

[@chaisclements6701]

how did the led do compared the HPS? was the light color the same, like the dark orange/amber 2200k?

[@Mr.E_Works]

The led is just as bright but it is more of a bluish white light 5000k.

@@Mr.E_Works ah, i see. thanks for the helpful video and info!

[@bangthumper1195]

Chais Clements you can get the led in different color temperatures.

[@exoticcar5482]

@@bangthumper1195 The issue though is that there is a trade off as LEDs that produce warmer color temperatures are actually less efficient than their cooler CCT counterparts. Thus the benefits of LEDs diminish quite a bit

[@bangthumper1195]

ElevatorMan5482 ElevExperiencing Productions Well sure, that makes since. Lower kelvin = a darker light = not as bright at same wattage of the higher kelvin around 5500 to 6000 so therefore requiring more wattage on lower kelvin to produce same amount of brightness/light. Am I correct on this? Is this what you were talking about?

Yup. The reflectors were aligned specifically to work with a precisely positioned, fully omnidirectional glow from a HPS arc tube. LEDs don't work well the way he's using the corn cob replacement. a fully integrated LED head is much better
