Know of a good replacement for a sodium vapor fixture? I have one sodium vapor fixture on each end of the home pointing out and one just bit the dust. Debating a LED replacement. These are on during dusk the entire time.

Honeywell has one. Bought but not installed. Costco sells it.

I wouldn't think sodium vapor can be much over 4,000 lumens with a color temperature under 1000. A couple of 100W equivalent LED bulbs would put those to shame as far as perceived light. I'd gut the SV lamp housing and install one or two standard sockets. You'd probably have $20 tied up in it.

I've got one installed and it works great. Don't remember exactly what I paid, but I know it was under $50.

Sure looks like LED is expensive in the higher output range. I am using 70w HPSV bulbs which output 6400 lumens so I will need at least that much in LED. I'll look at some of the options posted. THanks.

I don't know how much light your current light gives off, but I replaced one of these 500W units:

Lithonia Lighting 300-Watt Or 500-Watt Quartz Outdoor Halogen Bronze Visored Floodlight-OFL 300/500Q 120 LP BZ M6 - The Home Depot

with 75w led floods screwed into one of these:

Lithonia Lighting 2-Lamp Outdoor White Flood Light-OFTH 300PR 120 WH M12 - The Home Depot

I think I have more light now than I had before.
Basically have the same setup, except mine have the dusk to dawn sensor and i used 95W equivalent 1300lumens westinghouse PAR38 bulbs 3000k..

Fixture $20, bulbs $8 each.

Lithonia Lighting 2-Light Outdoor Bronze Flood Light-OFTH 300PR 120 P BZ M12 - The Home Depot
Westinghouse PAR38 Reflector 15 Watt (Replaces 90 Watt) Medium Base Warm White LED Outdoor Lamp

I would have gone with a built in LED one but i HATE HATE 5000K lights, I like the 2700-3000K range looks more like incandescent
