Energy Costs - HID lighting is very expensive to operate, especially as prices for electricity continue to rise.
Lamp Costs - In the age of LED lighting, HID lamps and fixtures that were common years ago are now considered “legacy” products that come with higher and higher price tags.
Maintenance Costs - HID lighting fixtures need maintenance and repair much more often than LED lighting, and many times this work requires lift trucks and special equipment.
Lighting Performance - HID lights start strong but experience lumen degradation over time, fade to a washed-out orange color or experience the blinking associated with a faulty ballast. Old bulbs struggle to provide enough light output in large areas.
