150W OPEN RATED HIGH BAY RETROFIT, REPLACES UP TO 400W HID, EX39, 4000K 120-277V -LED-8130M40CD

SKU: LED-8130M40CD

Brand: LIGHT EFFICIENT DESIGN

Swap a tired 400W metal halide for clean, instant-on light without touching the fixture housing — that is exactly what the LED-8130M40CD from Light Efficient Design was built to do. This 150W open rated high bay retrofit (also called an HID-to-LED retrofit lamp, a LED retrofit corn lamp, an EX39 mogul base high bay bulb, or simply a round high bay LED) screws straight into the existing mogul socket of your open high bay reflector. No teardown, no new fixture, no rewiring the whole bay — you bypass the old ballast, thread in the lamp, and the building is lit again in minutes. It is the go-to answer for warehouses, shops, arenas and any high ceiling still running 400W HID or high-pressure sodium lamps.

The numbers are straightforward: 150W of LED replacing up to 400W HID, delivering 20 900 lumens at a neutral 4000K white that reads colours naturally and keeps aisles, racking and work surfaces crisp. This CD version runs on 220-347V, the Canadian 347-volt option, and carries an EX39 mogul base. Colour rendering is 80+ CRI, rated life is 50 000 hours to L70, and the lamp operates from -40°F to 122°F. The fanless design means silent operation in open fixtures, while dynamic temperature control, a potted driver burned in three times before shipping, dual stage MOV protection with integrated 6kA surge suppression and a "D" model 0-10V dimming circuit continuously dimmable down to 20% (plus 12V auxiliary power for sensors) round out the package. DLC code: S-VBA2M7.

Warehouses, distribution centres, garages, machine shops, hockey arenas, gymnasiums, barns and municipal garages across Canada all share the same problem: aging HID lamps that hum, flicker and lose output. This retrofit fixes it one socket at a time, and the 347V compatibility makes it a natural for Canadian industrial services. Need the same lamp in a cooler white? See the 150W high bay retrofit 5000K 347V. On standard 120-277V service, choose the 150W high bay retrofit 4000K, and for smaller bays the 90W high bay retrofit 4000K 347V.

Built for open fixtures and rough rooms
The LED-8130M40CD belongs to Light Efficient Design's high bay retrofit family of ultra-bright LED lamps made for high ceiling environments. Models without active cooling — like this one — are designed for open fixtures and run with a completely fanless design, so there is no motor noise and nothing to clog in a dusty shop. Dynamic temperature control keeps the diodes in their comfort zone for a longer, brighter life, and the lamp is expertly engineered to work efficiently in open fixtures and damp environments while staying protected against insects and dust. Its drivers are pretested and potted, burned in three times prior to shipping, and protected against vibration and moisture — the kind of build you want 25 feet in the air over a forklift aisle.

Light quality that makes work easier
At 4000K, this retrofit puts out a neutral white that sits between warm and cool: bright enough to feel alert, never clinical. Combined with 80+ CRI, labels, colour-coded wiring, inventory tags and safety markings read correctly, contrast improves and depth perception under a high ceiling gets a real boost. Output is 20 900 lumens from only 150W, standing in for an HID lamp of up to 400W — instant-on, no warm-up, no restrike delay, no slow decay to orange like an old high-pressure sodium.

Electrical and installation notes
This is a ballast bypass lamp: the existing HID ballast must be removed or bypassed so line voltage feeds the EX39 mogul base socket directly. The CD suffix identifies the Canadian 347 volt option, with an input range of 220-347V, which suits industrial services where 347V is standard. Because this is a "D" model, it is continuously dimmable down to 20% through a wired 0-10V dimming circuit, and it supplies 12V auxiliary power for occupancy or daylight sensors — handy where a facility wants scheduled dimming in low-traffic aisles. Install it only in open fixtures so heat can escape; for closed or gasketed housings, choose an enclosed rated model such as the 270W enclosed rated high bay retrofit. All work should be done by a qualified electrician, power off at the panel.

Applications, alternatives and documentation
Think distribution warehouses with 20 to 30 foot ceilings, manufacturing floors, mechanic and welding shops, agricultural buildings, arenas, gymnasiums, big-box retail stockrooms and municipal works garages — anywhere a row of open aluminum HID reflectors is still burning 400W a piece. Converting them one lamp at a time lets a facility spread a retrofit over several nights without shutting production down. Prefer 5000K daylight? The 150W high bay retrofit 5000K covers it, while smaller bays are well served by the 90W high bay retrofit 4000K.
