When considering a switch to LED lighting, it’s important to think about your specific lighting needs. For spaces requiring greater brightness, opting for LEDs with higher lumen output is a smart choice. However, it’s also crucial to ensure that there is enough room for proper fitment and cooling when replacing lamps, as these factors can impact the performance and longevity of your new LED Lamps / Retrofits.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps often claim 2-3 times the lumens listed in their specifications. However, these traditional lighting sources degrade rapidly, with up to 70% of their brightness lost over their lifespan. In fact, approximately 30% of their lumens can diminish within the first 1,000 hours of use alone. This significant drop in light output over time underscores the importance of switching to more reliable, long-lasting LED lighting solutions.
