Replace old light fixtures using high wattage metal halide bulbs
Hi,
Just realized that I couldn't just replace a 175W Metal Halide bulb with a 25W LED bulb, I actually would need to buy an "adapter" of sort to bypass "something" in the current light (talked to a person at home depot), or replace the whole light fixture.
Seems to me that's it a good opportunity to just replace the light fixture all together.
I am no expert in this, but I have changed some light fixtures around the house, but never came across this high wattage Metal Halide bult before. Just wondering if anyone got experience and what I should do for this? Is just just a simple take out the current fixture and replace with a new one? Or there are more steps involved?
Thanks
