LED High Bay Lighting

It is often difficult to know which LED high bay luminaire is the right one for a specific project, and this applies to contractors, electricians, business owners and building managers alike. The choice is made difficult by the fact this new technology features many high bay LED light models and application options.

LED technology has been standing out from the competition through its high performance, long lifetime, versatility and substantial energy savings. Price-wise, LED technology is now at par with traditional lighting; however, in the long run, the LED yield makes it a very efficient and profitable investment.

As lighting specialists, we often get asked the same questions when it comes to choosing industrial LED high bay lighting and LED lighting layouts. This guide offers our answers to these frequently asked questions, hoping that it will help you find the best solutions for your projects.

Here are the most frequently asked questions:


Why choose LED high bay fixtures?

What light output do I need for my project: my workshop, storage, store, etc? (How many lumens? How many watts?)

How to choose the right high bay light fitting? (Which high bay light fixture should I choose for my building?)

Why replace fluorescents or metal halide fixtures with LED high bay fixtures?

  
 Why choose LED high bay fixtures?

LED High bay fixture gives you below mention benefits:

Energy efficiency. 
Good life span.
Great light quality.
Cost effective.


What light output do I need for my project: my workshop, storage, store, etc? (How many lumens? How many watts?)

YOUR OPTIONS

Several lighting technologies are available on the market: LED, metal halide, fluorescent, etc. They are all very well adapted to high bay lighting, but in the last couple of years LED technology has become the standard for lighting manufacturers and consumers.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR OPTIONS

The ability to transform energy into light (measured in lumens) varies greatly between each technology. For example, a light that uses 100W in halogen does not put out the same amount of light as an LED using 100W. Another difference to be considered is the way the light is distributed by each light system.

OUR ADVICE

Rather than trying to determine how many watts or lumens are needed for your project, we suggest you calculate the average light required by your project area. The average luminosity is measured in LUX or foot candle. You can find the average luminosity scale recommended by the IES (Illuminating Engineering Society), per activity field, in the file here. 1 fc (foot candle) = 10.764 lux
