out west
I installed one into a wall pack to test out. Took a bit of modification to make work in my particular wall pack, but puts out good light and is still working 1 year on.

I came across this video. I did this to one wallpack on the side of my building. I had already converted the mogul socket to a medium size for my 105w CFL lamp. I added two more sockets and installed 3 60w Daylight LED bulbs. Bulbs were a 3 pack for$10.00. 2 sockets cost me $7.00. I have to say the wallpack is looking good.
Here's the video...

Thought I would try this corn style bulb. 54w instead of 105w that the CFL pulled.

The far right bulb is the 54w corn style. The rest are 105w CFL

just a thought, has anybody tried to light a bay using 4 or 6 led flood lights,
you can buy led flood lights at a fair price,

you can set it up to have some come on when you start up the bay
just curios

I drive by a wash every day that has four small (probably 26W LED floodlights on the wall of two bays pointing down. It lights up the bay better than the others with four 8-foot fluorescents.

I've thought for while about having 1/4 of the lights on all the time and the rest come on when the timer is started and kept on either with a loop detector in the floor or a motion sensor above the meter box.

At some point is it worth replacing the whole fixture with new LED. We did that 4 years ago and have not touched the fixtures since. They have paid for themselves and no hassles, lamp changes, etc. Wonderful!
