Check with Nick Kendall at Sunbelt Car Wash Services. I have purchased several Cree fixtures from them at very competitive prices. They have displayed at the Car Wash Show in the past.

I have retrofitted about 8 of the 320 and I also tried one of these. https://www.ledlightingwholesaleinc.com/XBEAM-400-p/xbeam-400.htm These give a lot more light. They are made for Flush, not surface mount but there is an adapter available. The retrofits have been in place for several years. East to do and light is comparable to the 320 Scottsdale.
There is also a 600 W version available. It's great.

I put 10,000 lumen corn Cobb bulb in a old LSI ceiling fixture recently. I retired the old internals and wired in a regular medium base socket. The bulb is available at home depot for $70 and is equivalent to a 500 watt MH . They have a 3 year warranty and put out 5000k light color.

was told had a thread on replacing some old lights with LEDs. The link you have above, would those work for in bay wall mounted lights as well? Purchasing an old 4 bay with 2-3 wall mounted lighted and need an upgrade. Any info you have would be great!
Thanks!

Before I would spend money on a retrofit kit I would try this https://www.jarvis-direct.com/products/400w-equal-forward-throw-79w-led-wall-pack-wmft-400
I think you can never be certain how the light will disburse for your application so you need to try it. I have one in an area and like it.
I really like these. Got a bunch when they had lower wattage available and were cheaper. https://www.jarvis-direct.com/products/800w-equivalent-adjustable-optic-led-wall-pack-bfl-800

Also check out:
They have 4ft. and 8ft. LED fixtures.
I have had them in both my tunnel and s.s. bays for over 3 years and only had one go bad. They replaced it free.
You could go with 2- 8ft. fixtures in each bay or have 2/4-4ft. fixtures in each bay to save money.
Lots of light.

I have seen these in a car wash and they're both very good quality and extremely bright:
Anyone using a LED 2x2 ceiling mount fixture that can be attached to a wood surface? The roof at the wash I just bought is wood covered with vinyl siding. I've installed crees before at another wash built like this,, but at this project I'm going to have to deal with an inspector. Many canopy lights are not rated to be attached to a combustible surface. Jarvis makes some that are inexpensive but only put out 5300 lumens.

Surely it would state not to mount it to a wood or other combustible surface if it couldn't be.Anyone using a LED 2x2 ceiling mount fixture that can be attached to a wood surface?

The Jarvis X400 states in the instructions to not mount to a combustible surface. I have a wash with identical roof (vinyl over wood) and installed Crees last year. At that time I called Cree's tech support department and said the housing will get up to 180 degrees. I mounted them and have had zero problems. So, I'm not worried. However, I'm afraid I'll be scrutinized by the inspector. Perhaps nothing to worry about but don't like the idea of having to replace 25 canopy lights.

I bought the X400 and needed to mount to a concrete surface which was an issue because it is not made for flush mount. The bottom protrudes upward. Found out make a collar / flange for this type of mounting. Perhaps that is how it can be mounted to combustible surface.
