Three Selectable Color Temperatures in Every Omni-Cob Family
Select 3000K, 4000K or 5000K at installation to match warmer decorative environments, neutral commercial lighting or brighter daylight-style applications. Combined with three selectable wattage settings, each Omni-Cob family provides nine wattage/CCT combinations from one lamp.
Omni-Cob HID Retrofit Installation: What to Verify
Omni-Cob LED lamps require the existing ballast, if present, to be bypassed or removed before installation. These are direct-line-voltage retrofit lamps, so the exact fixture, socket, voltage, orientation and available compartment space should be confirmed before the retrofit.
Ballast Bypass
The existing ballast must be bypassed or removed before installing the Omni-Cob lamp.
Voltage Requirements
Operates on standard 100–277VAC (50/60Hz) line voltage.
Not for Dimmers
Omni-Cob lamps are non-dimmable. Control via standard wall switches or electronic photosensors as specified.
Enclosed Fixtures
Omni-Cob lamps may be used in fully enclosed fixtures when the model-specific minimum compartment dimensions and heat-dissipation requirements are met.
Outdoor Use
Approved for dry, damp, and wet locations. Outdoor fixtures must keep the lamp compartment waterproof and well ventilated.
Operating Temperature
Engineered to operate reliably in temperatures ranging from -13°F to 113°F (-25°C to 45°C).
| Model | Minimum Enclosed-Fixture Compartment | Orientation Note |
|---|---|---|
| OC-918 | 6" × 6" × 8.5" | Universal burning position |
| OC-2227 | 6" × 6" × 8.5" | Universal burning position |
| OC-3660 | 8" × 8" × 15.75" | Universal burning position |
| OC-70100 | 9.5" × 9.5" × 17.5" | Vertical only; not horizontal |

Omni-Cob Product Features
Why Use an Omni-Cob Lamp for an HID Retrofit?
Traditional HID systems require both a lamp and ballast, and many HID sources need warm-up or restrike time. Omni-Cob retrofit lamps are designed to bypass the ballast and operate directly on approved line voltage, delivering instant light and 360° distribution within compatible existing fixtures.
Selectable wattage gives facility teams control over output without stocking separate wattages, while selectable CCT helps standardize inventory across different areas. The compact lamp format allows facilities to keep compatible existing fixture housings rather than automatically replacing the entire luminaire.
The correct Omni-Cob model should be selected using the existing HID lamp wattage, socket/base, supply voltage, fixture dimensions, orientation, mounting height and desired light level—not from wattage alone.

Omni-Cob LED Retrofit FAQ
What types of lamps can HyLite Omni-Cob replace?
HyLite Omni-Cob lamps are direct LED replacements for compatible incandescent, CFL, high-pressure sodium, metal halide and other HID lamp applications. Select the appropriate replacement based on lamp wattage, base type, fixture dimensions, voltage, orientation, and required light output.
Does the ballast stay in place with an Omni-Cob retrofit?
No. The existing ballast must be bypassed or removed prior to lamp installation.
Are Omni-Cob lamps suitable for enclosed fixtures?
Yes, provided the fixture meets the model's minimum compartment dimensions and ventilation guidelines. Minimum compartment size increases as lamp output and physical dimensions scale up.
Can Omni-Cob lamps be installed horizontally?
OC-918, OC-2227, and OC-3660 offer universal burning positions. OC-70100 is designed exclusively for vertical installation and must not be installed horizontally.
Are Omni-Cob lamps dimmable?
No. Omni-Cob lamps are non-dimmable and should not be connected to dimming controls. Control illumination via a standard wall switch or compatible electronic photosensor.
Which Omni-Cob model produces the most light?
The OC-70100 family is the highest-output option, delivering up to 16,500 lumens at its 100W setting.
What color temperatures are available?
All four Omni-Cob families feature field-selectable 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K color temperatures.
Not Sure Which Omni-Cob Replaces Your Existing HID Lamp?
Send HyLite the existing lamp number, wattage, base type, fixture voltage, ballast model, mounting height, fixture dimensions, installation orientation and a few fixture photos. The lighting team can help narrow down the Omni-Cob option for your retrofit.
