LED Corn Lights, characterized by their compact dimensions and elevated light output, are an optimal choice for retrofitting pre-existing installations. Nonetheless, like with all lighting, appropriate installation is essential for LED Corn Lights to function effectively and to prevent early failure.
Circumvent the Ballast
The ballast in metal halide lighting regulates the current provided to the light source.
Most LED fixtures, however, utilize a driver, so obviating the necessity for a ballast.
Consequently, neglecting to bypass the ballast in a pre-existing fixture would damage the driver and LED Corn Light, constituting one of the primary causes of premature bulb failure.
Verify the Bulb's Compatibility with the Existing Housing
A prevalent cause of bulb failure is tight or enclosed housing.
Due to the heat produced during operation, LED Corn Lights generally incorporate a cooling fan or utilize aluminum heat sinks, necessitating additional space within the fixture for effective heat dissipation.
Insufficient space results in heat retention within the fixture, frequently causing early failure.
Utilize the Appropriate Voltage
Despite its seeming simplicity, it is imperative to verify the voltage of the fixture you intend to refit to guarantee compatibility with the LED Corn Lights.
HTM Lighting Solutions' LED Corn Lights are rated for 100-277V.
Inadequate voltage application will result in damage to the bulbs and fixture, and may also pose possible hazards.
Consistently Employ Surge Protection
Power surges result from various factors, including storm surges, and can damage equipment or pose significant risks.
Failing to utilize a surge protector renders your fixture vulnerable to potential malfunction during an electrical surge.
To mitigate these problems, it is strongly advised to utilize surge protectors to absorb part or all damage caused by a power surge, so safeguarding both you and your fixtures.
Refrain from Altering the Fixture or Bulb
Retrofitting a fixture with LED Corn Lights should involve a straightforward ballast bypass and the installation of the new bulbs.
Occasionally, more adjustments may be necessary to guarantee that the bulb is compatible with the housing or functions appropriately inside the application.
Excessive alteration of the fixtures or bulbs may result in failure or pose a danger of electrical damage or water infiltration.
It is advisable to utilize bulbs that are suitable for the required application without necessitating any alterations.
Verify Bulbs Necessitating Vertical Installation
Certain versions of LED Corn Lights necessitate vertical installation, typically associated with larger, heavier variants.
Improperly installed bulbs may fracture within the fixture due to their weight, resulting in electrical damage and a potential fire hazard.
Consequently, verify whether a bulb is suitable for horizontal mounting before installation.
