Yes, 10-100%. Haven't found a better price for the output. A bit over 14K Lumen or 130L/W. I have a good chunk of that coming back from the POCO as an incentive so that helped me swallow bill.

They are giving a one time payment of $.40 for each(calculated) watt of reduced power consumption. That's $2k ish on this project. Old 400W HPS/MH headed to the scrap bin. removing 400W and installing 220. 180x.4-$72, $182 fixture cost- rebate= $110 or about $55 each plus install.

$91 for ~15k lumens works out to 0.65 cents per lumen

That's about $13 for 2000 lumens, which is what a 48" tube retrofit will give you. Given you get a fixture with a diffuser, seems like a deal. That's without rebates.

SWEET!! Thanks for posting pictures. Keep em coming.

Nice deal on the rebate too.

Not sure why wyliesdiesels thinks these are expensive. $91 for 14,400 lm is a deal in my book any day.

Question: Did PoCo require DLC Listing to get the rebate or did they only require total reduced wattage spec.?

I would have jumped on 14k lumen lights for $91/ea. I paid $70 for my high bay T8 fixtures plus another $10 or so in lamps.

When I was pricing fixtures 2 years ago, a LED fixture like this was +$250.

Lets see some installed and lit!

They do ask for supporting data on the new fixtures. I sent them the supplier PDf with output and consumption and so far they are happy. There is a 90 day competition time frame I need to meet so now it's up to me to get moving. I borrowed my scissor lift to my father so it's a bit of a waiting game to get it back and get to work.

My PDF shows "22"...odd.
You're right, I wasn't looking at the Wattage column, I was looking at the wattage in the part number.

Interesting - Notice that the LED array states: "Pmax: 40W 45V 900mA 4400lm", thus the 4 arrays are capable of 17,600 lm. If the driver has a 900mA output per array 3600mA (3.6A) total, then the fixture output without the lens is 17,600, thus the lens is roughly 80% efficient (14,400/17,600). With a $10 lens change, it's possible to get around 15,840lm out of this fixture. Probably not worth it for the extra 1440 lm, but worth noting.

Agree with Platonic, $91 is far below many other fixtures. I wouldn't be surprised to see double the amount the OP says he paid.

I wired one of mine up with a whip and plugged it in while doing some night cleanup and this is what it looked like. The light is on the ground pointing up. Pretty nice if you ask me! I can't wait to see what it looks like with 20 of them inside.
