How to Choose the Right LED High Bay for Your Applications

LED lights start up quicker, last a lot longer, and are less prone to luminosity depreciation than metal halide and other popular industrial lighting technologies. In comparison to HID or linear fluorescents, they are also more simpler to dim or employ with occupancy or motion sensors. Of course, there are also energy savings and reduced energy bills. High-intensity lights, such as led high bays and parking lot and street lights, are particularly notable for this savings.

 

But how can you choose the best LED high bay for your needs?

To assist individuals who are just beginning to look at high bay lighting, we have produced this primer on its fundamentals. However, if you have more detailed inquiries, you may phone us at the numbers shown at the top of every page of our website, send us an email via our website's contact us page, or send an email to us  We're glad to assist! Now for the instruction:

 

What to Look for in Lumens per Watt (l/W or LPW) Purchases
The lights are more energy-efficient the higher this number. Consider two 100W UFO high bays as an example. From the exterior, they undoubtedly appear fairly similar, but one is rated at 100 lumens/Watt and the other at 180 l/W. You will get 10,000 lumens of light from the 100lm/w unit, which is about similar to a 150W metal halide. On the other hand, the 180-watt fixture will provide 18,000 lumens of light, which is comparable to a 250-watt metal halide. The lower the wattage you can utilise to replace your old lights, the greater the lumens per Watt.

 

Quality Measures
It takes a lot of work to replace the lighting in your establishment. You don't want to learn a few months down the road that just a third of the brand-new lights that were intended to last 15 years are still functioning. Therefore, be cautious to get lights from a reliable supplier.

 

How much information about the lighting do they provide you? What kind of evaluations or rankings do their lights have?

Examine the warranty. But bear in mind that it's simple for a business to give what seems to be a fantastic guarantee; the real issue is whether or not they will be there to uphold it. If you need a replacement, how much of a hard time will they have getting back in contact with you? By contacting them right away, you can see how committed they are to providing excellent customer service. Is it simple to discover their phone number? When you call, who picks up? How long has the company been in operation? (GSLIGHT has existed for around ten years.)

 

Cheap lights might be alluring, but when you factor in the expense and inconvenience of changing all of your lighting, the money you save now could end up costing you more later on in early failures and time spent pursuing warranty replacements.

 

The Heat Sink, LEDs, Driver, PCB, and Lens are the five primary components of an LED High Bay light, and each is crucial. Only the finest materials, such CREE LEDs and Meanwell Driver, are used by GS LIGHT. We also pay close attention to the finer points of manufacturing to guarantee that our customers get the finest possible goods.

 

2. Distinctions Between Traditional High Bays and High Bay Models

The well-known, pendant-style fixtures that are equipped with a reflector, which is often constructed of aluminium, are considered traditional high bay lights. The omnidirectional nature of the light sources utilised before to LEDs necessitated the usage of the reflector. Unless the reflector caught and guided the light coming from the edges of the bulb downward, it would be lost.

 

We advise replacing the metal halide bulbs within classic high bay chandeliers with LED corn lights if you want to maintain the fixtures themselves.

However, if you want to update your aesthetic while also reducing your energy use, we suggest switching out standard high bays with one of the following types of LED high bay light fixtures.

 

LED High Bay Lights in the Round
Due to LED lighting's inherent directionality, which makes it more directed than metal halide or other light sources, these more recent circular LED high bays—often referred to as "UFO" type lights—do not need reflectors. This enables a smaller, lower-profile fixture design.

 

These robust, IP65-rated lights can be utilised in even the harshest environments. such commercial laundry facilities, grain processing facilities, vehicle washes, and stables.

 

At the same time, they have a highly distinctive look, making them a fantastic option for any application with high ceilings. from aircraft hangars to a big grocery store's café.

The beam angles on these high bay lamps were created expressly for usage between aisles. such as in storage facilities, big supermarkets, and wholesale club shops.

 

Panel-Style Led linear high bay high bays
These LED high bays, which resemble troffers but are not to be mistaken with LED light panels, resemble T5 and T8 fixtures. They have a wider field of light distribution than circular high bays. These high bays are the perfect (and stylish!) alternative for T5 or T8 lights if you already have them.

If you already have linear fluorescent lighting and you want to retain it. At installation heights exceeding 15 feet, our ultra bright 4 foot and 8 foot LED tubes provide outstanding illumination. Alternately, you may integrate magnetic LED strips into your fluorescent lighting.
