Good LED Replacement For Sodium Vapor

[aczlan]

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

Here is a 50W 3000k LED for $35: LTE Super Bright, 50W, Outdoor LED Flood Lights, 3500 Lumen, 150W HPS Bulb Equivalent, Warm White, 3000K, Waterproof IP66, Outdoor Floodlights, Security Lights. - - Amazon.com
And a 30W 3000k LED for $20: LE® 30W Super Bright Outdoor LED Flood Lights, 75W HPS Bulb Equivalent, Waterproof, 1950lm, Warm White, 3000K, Security Lights, Floodlight - - Amazon.com

Most wall washers have a standard medium base. I have them all over and they never last.

Also, it's almost impossible to find the right replacement bulb. Lowe's /hd is always full of brought back taped up boxes from people who bought the wrong ones.

Sodium?
Metal halide?
Mercury vapor?

All same base. All different insides.

So what I did was gut the wires and just screw in a regular 16w led bulb. (100w) equivalent. Took ten minutes. Uses 16% of the electricity. Doesn't get hot and yellow the diffuser.

It works great and I will probably never have to replace it again.
