RAB HIDFA-36S-E26-8CCT-BYP/5SP – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to remove the existing ballast to install a RAB HIDFA LED retrofit lamp?
Yes. The HIDFA is a ballast bypass lamp, so it wires direct to line voltage and the HID ballast has to come out of the circuit. That means an electrician at the fixture, not a screw-in swap by maintenance. Once bypassed there is no ballast left to fail, which is usually the reason the retrofit gets specified in the first place. Line input is 100-277V, so the same lamp works on 120V house circuits and 277V commercial lighting branch circuits.
2) What wattage HIDFA do I order to replace a 175W metal halide?
Order by the wattage band you need, not by a single fixed wattage. Four bands cover the range: 27/18/12W, 36/27/18W, 45/36/27W and 54/45/36W, each field selectable to any of its three settings. For a 175W metal halide, the 54/45/36W lamp (HIDFA-54S-E26-8CCT-BYP/5SP) is the top of the line and the usual pick; the 45/36/27W band suits smaller 100W-class HID. Because the wattage is switch selectable after install, you can dial the output down if the space reads too bright rather than reordering.
3) Will the RAB HIDFA work on a 277V circuit as well as 120V?
Input range is 100-277V, so the same lamp covers 120V, 208V, 240V and 277V branch circuits. On a mixed site where some fixtures are on 277V lighting panels and others are on 120V, you stock the one lamp. The driver is constant current, so light output holds steady across that whole voltage range rather than shifting with supply.
4) Can I change the color temperature on the RAB HIDFA after it is installed?
Yes, the HIDFA is a multi-CCT lamp with the color temperature selected in the field on the lamp itself. For a facility that stocks one lamp across a warehouse, an office area and an exterior canopy, that is one part number on the shelf instead of three. Set it before you close the fixture up, since reaching the selector means getting back into the housing.
5) What does the 5-pin sensor port on some HIDFA lamps do, and which part numbers have it?
Three of the four wattage bands carry the /5SP suffix: HIDFA-36S-E26-8CCT-BYP/5SP, HIDFA-45S-E26-8CCT-BYP/5SP and HIDFA-54S-E26-8CCT-BYP/5SP. That suffix is the 5-pin sensor port, which is how you add occupancy or daylight control at the lamp. The 27/18/12W lamp is HIDFA-27S-E26-8CCT-BYP, without the port. If the controls scope calls for lamp-level sensing, the suffix is not an option you add later, it is part of the part number you order.
6) Is the RAB HIDFA lamp suitable for an office or classroom where flicker is a concern?
Flicker is rated under 30 percent, and the constant current driver is what holds it there. That is the spec to point at when a school or healthcare client raises visual comfort. The lamp is listed for retail, office, educational and healthcare use alongside warehouse and industrial retrofits, so the same part number covers a mixed campus.
7) How long does the RAB HIDFA LED lamp last compared to the HID lamp it replaces?
Rated life is 50,000 hours. On a warehouse running 12 hours a day that is roughly 11 years before rated end of life, against the annual or biannual relamping most metal halide fixtures need. For an MRO budget the value is in the lift truck time you stop paying for, not just the lamp cost.
8) Is the RAB HIDFA a clear lamp or frosted, and does that matter in an open fixture?
The finish is clear, which passes the most light through but leaves the LED sources visible. In a reflector fixture pointed up or down at a work surface that is what you want. In an open-bottom fixture at low mounting height where people look up into it, expect the lamp itself to read bright.
