Calculating LED Wall Pack Equivalents
Some manufacturers claim that their low-wattage LED luminaire can deliver more light than a metal halide luminaire of significantly higher wattage. Is this true? You’ll need to do the math. Just because a light source emits a specified amount of lumens does not mean the luminaire delivers those lumens. Light is trapped or wasted inside of the luminaire. Depending on the luminaire, it may only emit between 10% and 80% of the lamp lumens.
In the above video, learn how to calculate LED equivalencies of wall packs and correctly replace existing metal halide luminaires with LED wall packs. Contact an Access Fixtures lighting specialist to make sure a luminaire will be able to provide the appropriate light in your area.
