400W metal halide fixtures are common in older commercial buildings

Warehouses, shops, gyms, exterior walls, and parking areas often still have 400W metal halide fixtures. They may still turn on, but the usable light can drop as lamps age and lenses get dirty.

LED replacement is not just matching watts

A 400W metal halide is not replaced by another fixture simply because the wattage sounds close. LED output, beam angle, mounting height, fixture spacing, and the work area decide the right replacement.

Maintenance savings can be a major reason to upgrade

Metal halide lamps and ballasts can create recurring service calls, especially in high ceilings or exterior poles where lift access is needed. LED replacement can reduce that headache when the fixture is selected properly.

Common Questions

Short answers for buyers comparing commercial LED lighting projects.

What LED wattage replaces a 400W metal halide?

It depends on the fixture, mounting height, spacing, and desired light level. Many replacements use much lower LED wattage, but the building should be reviewed first.

Can 400W metal halide high bays be replaced one for one?

Often yes when the existing layout is good, but the old layout should be checked for dark areas and uneven coverage.

Do you replace exterior metal halide fixtures?

Yes. Wall packs, parking lot fixtures, and area lights can be reviewed as part of a commercial LED upgrade.
