Built for open fixtures and rough roomsThe 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 easierAt
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 notesThis 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 documentationThink 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. The full technical PDF for the 8136 / 8130 / 8242 series, with the complete ordering table and dimensions, is available in the Documentation tab of this page.
