Reduce Energy Use
Review lower-wattage LED options against the existing HID lamp, required lumen output and actual fixture conditions.
Reduce Maintenance
Long-rated-life LED lamps can reduce relamping frequency in hard-to-reach commercial and industrial fixtures.
Simplify the Stocking Process
Selectable wattage and color temperature can allow one approved lamp to cover several project conditions.
Match the Application
Choose directional or omni-directional output based on the fixture, mounting orientation, target area and required beam pattern.

Upgrade HID Lighting Without Automatically Replacing the Entire Fixture
HID-to-LED retrofit projects often begin with an existing metal halide, high-pressure sodium or other high-intensity discharge lamp housed in a fixture that is still suitable for use. The right LED retrofit can reduce input wattage, shorten warm-up time, reduce relamping and give facilities greater control over light output and color without automatically requiring a complete fixture replacement.
Important: Confirm the Existing Ballast and Wiring Before Installation
Many HID-to-LED retrofit applications use a direct-line-voltage installation that removes or bypasses the existing HID ballast. The exact wiring method depends on the selected lamp, fixture and current instruction sheet. Confirm the existing lamp, ballast, supply voltage, base and fixture configuration before ordering. Electrical work should be completed by qualified personnel following the current product instructions and applicable requirements.
What to Check Before Ordering an HID-to-LED Retrofit Lamp
A retrofit recommendation is more reliable when the existing fixture details are known before the lamp is selected.
Metal halide, HPS, mercury vapor, PAR, CFL or other source.
Compare required output and distribution rather than using a simple watt-for-watt replacement.
Needed to determine the approved wiring path.
Confirm actual fixture voltage before choosing the lamp.
Confirm E26, EX39 or another connection before ordering.
Check physical clearance, airflow and enclosed-fixture requirements.
Base-up, base-down or horizontal orientation can affect model selection.
Document photocells, sensors, dimmers, emergency systems or other controls.
Include the number of matching fixtures and note any variations.

HID Replacement FAQ
Can I replace a metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamp with LED?
Often, yes, but the correct LED replacement depends on the existing lamp, fixture, ballast, voltage, base, light distribution and physical space. Confirm those details against the current HyLite specification and instruction sheet before ordering.
Does the HID ballast need to be bypassed?
For direct-line-voltage retrofit products, the existing HID ballast is removed or bypassed so the LED receives the approved supply voltage. Always follow the wiring instructions for the exact HyLite model.
How do I choose the correct LED wattage to replace HID?
Do not use a simple watt-for-watt formula. Compare lumen output, beam pattern, mounting height, orientation and required light level. Selectable-wattage products can make field adjustment easier.
Which HyLite lamp is best for an omni-directional HID fixture?
The Omni-Cob and Intigo Omni-Directional families are designed for broad 360° illumination. The correct choice depends on required output, fixture size, base, voltage, enclosure and mounting orientation.
Which HyLite lamp is best when I need a directional beam?
The Lotus Lamp family is designed for directional applications. PAR38 provides selectable 25°, 40° and 60° beam options, while the larger Lotus PAR56/PAR64 family offers product-specific beam choices for higher-output applications.
Can HyLite HID replacement lamps be used in enclosed fixtures?
Several current HyLite retrofit products are listed as suitable for fully enclosed fixtures, but model-specific space, orientation and thermal requirements still apply. Confirm the current specification sheet before installation.
Not Sure Which HID Replacement Lamp Fits Your Fixture?
Send HyLite the existing lamp number, lamp wattage, ballast model, supply voltage, base type, fixture photos, mounting orientation and project quantity. The lighting team can help identify which current Lotus, PAR38, Omni-Cob or Intigo configuration should be reviewed for the application.
