The primary purposes of an industrial light fixture for the majority of warehouse lighting applications are 1) to precisely control the distribution of emitted light to ensure constant optical alignment and deliver repeatable photometric performance; and 2) to aesthetically modify the appearance of light sources by providing an integral design based on optoelectronic characteristics, which include thermal environment because it is well known that the performance of LED lighting is highly dependent on just these factors.
The most common lighting fixtures for open storage warehouses and high bay industrial facilities are round LED high bay lights. The commercialization of LED light fixtures began with them being constructed in identical form factors to light fixtures that use traditional light sources, despite the fact that there is an inherent difference in lighting technology. Because metal halide high bay lights use reflectors to form the beam patterns, classic round LED high bays are reflector lamps that resemble their designs. Low optical efficiency due to the employment of secondary optics and excessive physical volume as a result of the usage of large reflectors and heat sinks are disadvantages of round reflector type high bays. The entire fixture lacks the ability to fit contemporary architectural designs and appears antiquated and awkward. Additionally, the bulky quantities of thin aluminium reflectors must be transported individually and with special care, which raises the cost of shipping. current high bay luminaires, also known as UFO LED high bay lights, are low profile, strong, and designed to fit current commercial, retail, and industrial situations. To provide optimised distributions, precision-molded acrylic lenses of LED light engines are indexed to the circuit board. This eliminates wasted light from secondary optics and provides the ideal luminaire spacing and enhanced uniformity. UFO high bay fixtures are a great option for usage in abrasive industrial settings where dirt and moisture are present because of their dust- and damp-proof designs and electrostatically applied thermoset polyester coatings.
Industrial-grade linear LED light fixtures provide a much more focused linear beam of illumination to cast the most light where it is desired. This makes them ideal for low bay and high bay lighting applications in warehouses like modern distribution centres and order fulfilment centres where the tall narrow aisles created by rack storage systems require relative dimming. In contrast to linear fluorescent high bays, which use omnidirectional light output from fluorescent tubes, To answer the demand for lighting high rack spaces with an intensity distribution suited to the aisle width and stack height, linear LED high bays were developed. Specialised lenses with direct lambertian dispersion are used in these highly programmable lighting fixtures, enabling exceptional optical control. The modular design of the LED linear ceiling or pendant mounted lights makes it simple to join many battens together for continuous-row lighting.
