500 watt LED Flood Lights – Replace 1500W to 2500W Metal Halide & Halogen

We deliver high power 500W LED floodlights, which are applied to sports stadium, warehouse, seaport, boat, airport apron, and other outdoor or indoor commercial or industrial areas. The 500 watt flood lights can replace 1500W to 2500W metal halide, and even retrofit 5000 watt halogen lamps, because of LED’s high luminous efficiency. After replacing HID with LED, we can enjoy many benefits such as reduction on energy cost and maintenance rate.

1. What is 500 watt LED Floodlight?

Floodlights are the equipment that emits bright and broad light beam that illuminates large areas. Comparing to the household light bulbs having a few watts, the power of LED flood light can be 500W, 1000W, or even more. They are designed for heavy-duty, commercial or other application that requires bright lighting. 500 watt means LED chips inside flood lamp consumes 500J energy per second. How bright is it when comparing to metal halide or halogen lights? We can consider their lumen output.

2. Lumen of 500W LED Lights

Why LED lights are more energy-saving? It is because under the same power consumption, 500W LED produces higher lumen output than 500W halogen or other HID lighting fixtures. To give you a quick idea, the lumen of 500 watt LED flood lights is 70000 lm, which is significantly higher than the HID lights.

500 Watt LED vs Halogen vs Metal Halide Lumens

For instance, our LED lights having 500 watt power has luminous efficacy of 140 lm/W, which means the lumen output of LED is 500 x 140 = 70000 lumens. On the contrary, the energy efficiency of halogen is just around 10 to 20 lm/W, and thus the lumen of 500W halogen = 500 x 10 = 5000 lumens. We can see there is a huge difference between the lumens of LED and halogen. After replacing the halogen lights with LED, we can save approx. 10 to 14 times running (electricity) cost.

The lumen of 500W metal halide lights = 500 x 60 = 30000 lumens, which is also lower than LED of 70000 lumens. And hence, LED is the brightest floodlight when comparing to metal and halogen under the same power consumption.

3. Application of 1500W to 2500W Halogen & Metal Halide LED Replacement

Apart from new installation, we can also adopt LED lights to replace the metal halide or halogen flood lights.

a. Sports Field Lighting Halogen Replacement (1500W)

Nowadays, many sports stadium are still using 1500W halogen flood lights to light up the turf at night. However, the electricity bill will be very high as sometimes we may need up to 400,000 to 700,000 watt halogen lights for such the enormous football field. The running cost of the halogen lights is approx. $400 to $600 per day, and $9000 to $14000 monthly. However, the halogen running cost due to electricity can be reduced by 10 times after LED replacement. Contact us to get the free lighting design today.

b. Warehouse Metal Halide Lighting Replacement

500W LED floodlight can replace 1500W metal halide inside warehouse as well. Apart from the lower energy cost, LED has better heat dissipation system that enhances the life span. The heat sinks underneath the LED chips effectively channelize the heat from the lamp body to surroundings, and thus the junction and ambient temperature can be suppressed in a lower range.

better heat dissipation on flood lamp

If you are using HID lighting system in your warehouse and storage unit, you might have experienced quick and significant lumen depreciation, which means the brightness of the MH lights is reduced quickly, perhaps after a months, because of its unique working mechanism. However, after switching to LED lights, you will only find negligible amount of brightness decrease after using them for 80,000 hours, or 27 to 30 years operating time based on 7 to 8 hours using time per day.

c. Outdoor Waterproof Flood Lights for Seaport

The seaport luminaires will be damaged quickly if there is no special reinforcement. The sea water mist will corrode the electronics inside the lamp. To tackle this issue, our outdoor flood lights have water-tight design, so that the light can last longer in high humidity environment or in adverse weather conditions. Our engineers will customize the best flood lights for your projects.
