I am sure this has been addressed numerous times but I can't seem to find the answer I need. Can anyone who has LED wall packs tell me what watt equivalent they are using in the bays? I bought a couple for mounting outside the building that are 150 watt and not sure how they would perform in the bay. Thanks

I would look at the lumens of light your lights will be producing. LED vary greatly on the lumens per watt. I think that 20,000 lumens per SS bay is adequate if you are using 5000 Kelvin color bulb. You can get that with LEDs or a good T5 HO. 2 150 watt LEDs should provide over 20,000 lumens.

Does it actually consume 150 watts, or does it say 150 watt equivalent?

Replaces 175-250 watt is the ones I bought, don't know where I got the 150 watt (it was early in the morning) It does have 5000K bulb but can't find anything that shows lumens.
