You don’t know how hard it is to find this KIND OF VIDEO * conversion video . DUDE .

I just installed the LED corn lights, thank you soooo much for this video. I couldn't have done it without this video.

Thanks for the video. Just moved into a place that has a pl-c bulb socket and this will do to show me how to bypass the ballast on the fixture so I can convert to a standard bulb.

Do you guys have any warm white corn cob bulbs for those who like warmer tones and might not be fond of the daylight White?

Does this conversion process remove the buzzing noise that old metal halide lights tend to make?

Yes because you are disconnecting the ballest

I like the metal halide lights for growing plants. I'd like to know, if it's possible to bypass the photocell on the top of the unit so I can have the fixture o. A timer

Just install a shorting cap in the socket.

These are the corn light they need to use in high masts...they can even make amber led corn lights

How about on 480 volt poles are there lamps for that ?

Would an install on generator be the same. Currently running 1000w metal halide bulbs, the power running from generator is 207v. Could i install a replacement LED and bypass the ballast just like your video?

Thanks for this video! I'm facing the exact situation and can no longer find the old bulbs to replace the last one. So the bottom line is, i either remove the ballast or get a new fixture lol

Will it work on a regular 120 volt

Thank you Sr.

I want to see how bright the light is at night. I'm hearing bad things about these corn lights. They say you'll use less energy, but you lose brightness cause 90% of the LED lights are facing outward. Can you show a before and after installation of brightness between the two bulbs?

I have a 10000 lumen bulbs in 2 of these types of fixtures. The brightness it is very good. In another fixture especially enclosed I could see lots of lumen loss. My guess.

I appreciate the video but a wiring diagram would help immensely. Your video makes it seem like your photocell only has 2 wires. Mine has three.

Nice👍😊

Will the dusk to dawn photo cell still work with this conversion ?

Yes

I did what you did but my new led light bulb blinks 50 times before it lights

What type of led wad used?

is there a wiring diagram I can find somewhere?

Why the bypass? If all the lights are not dusk/dawn controlled but rather switch on/off... can't you just replace the bulbs?

If you don't bypass the ballast, it will light your LED lamp on fire when it tries to ignite the halide lamp that was removed

what is the name of the extension pole for the out door light?

Don't drop the Mercury Viper bulb inside there because it's gonna explode. If the mercury comes out don't blame me

No ignitor? Was the old bulb a 175 probe start?

Retrofitted 2 so far. Inexpensive and I am happy with the brightness. I like that the older style fixtures are well built and physically last for many decades. I did also buy separately a fairly expensive led fixture. Very bright. Not sure of its longevity yet. I don't think a cheaper $100 led fixture made today would last very long.

I looked into a new fixture, led and $120...if it malfunctions, you have to replace the fixture. Or retrofit and the bulb is $14.🤔

Use this video instead. It makes a clearer difference in how to properly wire things. As for the photocell, could need to get a new one. If it's like this, it can just be plugged in kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYGFqdiQe5DbfMo.html

Photocell non operable under these wiring conditions

COB lights suck. Either install a new Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium, or Mercury Bulb, or buy an integrated (or even serviceable!!!) LED fixture. COB lamps are sad excuses for lighting; the epitome of cheap Chinese garbage.

If you want to be taken seriously get some professional tools and use the correct wire nuts.
