Metal halide light fixtures are commonly used for outdoor lighting and can offer several lumen outputs. Although they are the traditional lighting option for many contractors, LED lighting fixtures are becoming the norm.
Many contractors are choosing LED light bulbs as an energy efficient alternative to metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps. In addition to their efficiency, LEDs have a considerably long lifespan, making them virtually maintenance free.
If you're looking for a metal halide replacement, you should consider switching to LED. Not only do they provide the same level of brightness, but at a much lower wattage. You could have over 70% in energy savings. Still not sure which option is best for you? Let's measure the pros and cons!
