High bay lights find their best uses in illuminating large covered spaces. For the facilities with large covered spaces, the best method of providing adequate lights across the length and breadth of the area is high bay lighting. High bay lighting fixtures typically hung from the ceiling via hooks, chains, or pendants, or they may be fixed to the ceiling directly.
Some of the common application areas for high bay lightings are –
- Warehouses
- Manufacturing floors
- Community centers
- Departmental stores
- Large gymnasiums
Benefits of using LED high bays over Metal Halide, Fluorescent, High-Pressure Sodium high bays.
LED lights have surpassed the conventional lights by miles, thus being the first choice for any lighting applications. The main reasons are:-
Much decreased maintenance: LED lights are capable of a lifespan four to forty times longer than many conventional lights, which means fewer replacements of bulbs. This poses a great advantage when it comes to high bay lightings. Because these lightings are generally clamped for heights ranging from 25 to 40 feet, the replacement and maintenance are generally time consuming and requires use of scaffolding, hydraulic lifts, or other apparatus. This results in disruption in work and extra expenditure on maintenance works, which are greatly reduced by using LEDs.
Bright illumination and great light coverage: The functions in the warehouse like settings require bright light and sufficient coverage in order to make clear visibility in every nooks and corners created due placing of racks, etc. LEDs are given preferences over the conventional lightings such as fluorescent and metal halide lamps on the ground of much lesser energy consumption for the same illumination level.
It is easy to replace conventional lights with LEDs: LEDs come with standard fixtures and direct fitting options which enable one to directly replace the old type lamps with newer LED lamps.
One of the benefits of LED high bay lighting is that it provided clear, uniform lighting without any glare. Different kinds of reflectors can accomplish different kinds of illumination tasks for the high bay lights. Aluminum reflectors make light from the fixtures flow directly downward on to the floor, while prismatic reflectors create a more diffused lighting useful for illuminating shelves and other elevated objects. LED lights offer extremely long life and energy efficiency.
