LED Retrofit Kit for Outdoor Light Fixtures

Description

Our LED retrofit kit is a cost-effective and long-term solution for exterior lighting fixtures. The 6 Watt, high efficacy LED kit can replace a 100 watt incandescent source while significantly reducing your home's energy costs. Featuring 30 Nichia 757 LEDs, the retrofit kit provides a 120 degree beam of 3000K Warm White. The LED board was built specifically for the provided Hatch Power Supply and the photocell switch makes it so you can set and forget your outdoor lighting fixture.

This LED kit is perfect for replacing cheaply built light sources in high end fixtures or for retrofitting legacy lighting fixtures that used to use incandescent or halogen bulbs. If you are doing a retrofit with this kit please make sure you read the heatsinking section below.

6W Draco LED Light Engine

The Draco LED board was originally designed to replace cheap LED boards put in outdoor lighting fixtures. This 6W board takes a simple 12V input due to on-board driver circuitry. The board was designed for easy-install with two poke-home input connections. Below the connection point is a .3" hole for discrete wiring.

Heatsinking - Extend Lifetime

To ensure your LEDs never overheat, it is best to use a small heatsink with the Draco LED board. Most LED fixtures you will be replacing already have an aluminum plate acting as a heatsink that you can mount the Draco to. If you need to fit a heatsink directly to the Draco then remember to find one suitable for 6 Watts of power (total surface area needs to be 6 square inches roughly).

The Draco PCB has convenient .12" diameter mounting holes in each corner. We recommend 4-40 machine mounting screws and the washers should not exceed .25" in diameter. An alternative mounting method to machine screws are thermal adhesive tapes or pastes.

12 Watt Hatch Power Supply

The Hatch Lighting LV12-12N-UNV-Y is a compact poly case power supply suitable for both indoor and outdoor lighting applications. The power supply accepts 120-277VAC input and outputs 12VDC. The 18 AWG wire works perfect for the poke-home connections on the Draco and the inputs are even labeled for the wire color of the Hatch - Red (V+) & Blue (V-)

PhotoCell Switch Wiring

The photocell switch needs to be connected on the AC side of the Hatch power Supply as shown:
