Abstract: A housing once included a high intensity discharge (HID) light source, lens, and fixture chamber between the housing and lens. The housing is retrofit to exclude a routinely functioning HID light source and exclude at least a portion of the HID lens. The housing is made to include at least a first support for at least one light emitting diode (LED) light source and an LED diode lighting fixture chamber. A second support is affixed at least to the first support and is positioned at least in part outside the LED fixture chamber. The LED light source is mounted to the second support outside the LED fixture chamber. At least one LED light source lens is mounted to provide a lens for the LED light source, also outside the LED lighting fixture chamber. The LED light source is thereby substantially free of exposure to the temperature effects.

Abstract: A principal aspect of invention comprises a housing that before being retrofit included a high intensity discharge light source, a high intensity discharge lens, and a high intensity discharge lighting fixture chamber defined between the housing and the high intensity discharge lens. The housing is retrofit to exclude a routinely functioning high intensity discharge light source and exclude at least a portion of the high intensity discharge lens. The housing is made to include at least a first support for at least one light emitting diode light source in place of the portion of the high intensity discharge lens. With this aspect, the retrofit high intensity discharge lighting fixture is no longer a source of high intensity discharge light and is instead a source of light emitting diode light.
