How To Install a LED Corn Light in a Metal Halide Fixture

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

You don’t know how hard it is to find this KIND OF VIDEO * conversion video . DUDE .

[@twinkie2939]

I just installed the LED corn lights, thank you soooo much for this video. I couldn't have done it without this video.

[@johnathan3328]

Thanks for the video. Just moved into a place that has a pl-c bulb socket and this will do to show me how to bypass the ballast on the fixture so I can convert to a standard bulb.

[@AlD-y5e]

You can remove the transformer but you have to file it down. Just one side where it is welded. Then once that side comes off you snap off the other side. The fixture is much lighter without it

[@nicholecrouch311]

I like the metal halide lights for growing plants. I'd like to know, if it's possible to bypass the photocell on the top of the unit so I can have the fixture o. A timer

[@humanhuman1773]

Just install a shorting cap in the socket.

[@racheledmonds920]

Does this conversion process remove the buzzing noise that old metal halide lights tend to make?

[@TheWXRadioCollecter]

Yes because you are disconnecting the ballest

[@artiemend.3578]

How about on 480 volt poles are there lamps for that ?

[@SB223_06]

Do you guys have any warm white corn cob bulbs for those who like warmer tones and might not be fond of the daylight White?

[@kylehousman6658]

Would an install on generator be the same. Currently running 1000w metal halide bulbs, the power running from generator is 207v. Could i install a replacement LED and bypass the ballast just like your video?

[@ComaBIack1969]

Thanks for this video! I'm facing the exact situation and can no longer find the old bulbs to replace the last one. So the bottom line is, i either remove the ballast or get a new fixture lol

[@henkers420]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZLSlqafbqapopI I watched this and these corn bulbs aint all that from what i'm finding out.

[@ComaBIack1969]

@@henkers420 Thanks for that video link... I decided to just put a new fixture up instead of fooling with trying to rig a light that may or may not work.

[@robertcperry4377]

Will it work on a regular 120 volt

[@trooperg1234]

what is the name of the extension pole for the out door light?

[@trooperg1234]

never mind, I found it. halo arm

[@tedbeemer2352]

Will the dusk to dawn photo cell still work with this conversion ?

[@jameshill4900]

Yes

[@bobgooden6016]

I did what you did but my new led light bulb blinks 50 times before it lights

[@cavariusavery6637]

These are the corn light they need to use in high masts...they can even make amber led corn lights

[@andrejohnson9099]

What type of led wad used?

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

No ignitor? Was the old bulb a 175 probe start?

[@SB223_06]

No, it was a Mercury vapor fixture.

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

Oh,looked like it was a probe start 175w metal halide bulb, and they was wrong saying it's a metal halide fixture?

[@SB223_06]

@@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE I think they knew it was Mercury vapor but they probably didn't mention it because of the ban.

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

That makes since!

[@Hugh_Manitee]

I get an:ERROR 404 code FILE NOT FOUND on your link.

[@garza727]

Thank you Sr.

[@proconcrete]

Why the bypass? If all the lights are not dusk/dawn controlled but rather switch on/off... can't you just replace the bulbs?

[@Schwob94]

If you don't bypass the ballast, it will light your LED lamp on fire when it tries to ignite the halide lamp that was removed

[@RobShutt357]

What are the ratings on the LED bulb?

[@ELEDLights]

They currently have 5/5 star ratings on our site by our customers who have ordered and installed them! You can view this product at www.eledlights.com/led-lights/eled-indoor-lights/shop-by-type/eled-led-corn-lights/high-lumen-125w-led-corn-light.html#opt_pack_size=583

[@senorsilky]

I appreciate the video but a wiring diagram would help immensely. Your video makes it seem like your photocell only has 2 wires. Mine has three.

[@sounakdas9565]

Nice👍😊

[@american0153]

I don’t see why you can’t just purchase a new LED fixture?

[@ELEDLights]

You absolutely can! Retrofitting is just a great cost effective alternative to doing so!

[@Hyvelez]

Many like the look of the old fixtures better.

[@jameshill4900]

Retrofitted 2 so far. Inexpensive and I am happy with the brightness. I like that the older style fixtures are well built and physically last for many decades. I did also buy separately a fairly expensive led fixture. Very bright. Not sure of its longevity yet. I don't think a cheaper $100 led fixture made today would last very long.

[@BROKEN.WRENCH.GARAGE]

Sad thing is all the flouresent area lights and newer led fixtures are Chineseium now a days and don't last like the old mv mh and hps fixtures would.

[@barryfirth1187]

I looked into a new fixture, led and $120...if it malfunctions, you have to replace the fixture. Or retrofit and the bulb is $14.🤔

[@nickswayze]

Photocell non operable under these wiring conditions

[@redhooktn1]

If you want to be taken seriously get some professional tools and use the correct wire nuts.

[@rrussell39]

As an electrician that's the first thing I notice...

[@henkers420]

I want to see how bright the light is at night. I'm hearing bad things about these corn lights. They say you'll use less energy, but you lose brightness cause 90% of the LED lights are facing outward. Can you show a before and after installation of brightness between the two bulbs?

[@jameshill4900]

I have a 10000 lumen bulbs in 2 of these types of fixtures. The brightness it is very good. In another fixture especially enclosed I could see lots of lumen loss. My guess.
