LED High Bay Lighting Solutions for Commercial and Industrial Spaces

Enhance your commercial or industrial facility with energy-efficient LED high bay lighting from 1000Bulbs.com. Our extensive selection includes linear LED high bays, round UFO-style high bays, and low bay fixtures designed to illuminate commercial spaces such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, large recreational facilities, retail stores, fitness centers, aircraft hangars, gyms, and more.

Linear High Bay Lighting

Linear LED high bay lights offer precise, uniform light distribution, making them ideal for aisles and high-ceiling applications. Choose from narrow, medium, or wide beam angles to suit your space. Our linear high bay LED fixtures are available in various lumen outputs, color temperatures (including 4000K and 5000K options), and mounting options like surface and chain mount. We also offer linear high bay lights with rotatable panels that allow you to aim the light output where you need it most.

Round LED UFO High Bay Lighting

For open layouts, our round UFO high bay lights provide uniform illumination with up to 24,000 lumens and a color rendering index (CRI) of 80 or more. These durable, long-lasting fixtures are perfect for warehouses, retail stores, and industrial areas. Many are dimmable and rated for frequent on/off cycling when used with motion sensors. Round LED high bays have a variety of mounting options, including pendant mount, hook mount, and surface mounting with compatible brackets (sold separately).

Motion Sensor LED High Bay Lights

Maximize energy savings with LED high bay lights featuring field installable daylight harvesting and motion sensors. These smart fixtures automatically adjust light levels based on ambient conditions and occupancy, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. The sensor takes seconds to screw into the receptacle and seamlessly integrates into the luminaire, giving you reliable control without any disruption to the aesthetics of your lighting.

Daylight harvesting sensors are one of the most advanced technologies used in sustainable lighting. The fixtures adjust light output based on the amount of natural light that is available in a space at any given time. The Passive Infrared Sensor (PIR) and daylight settings give you the ability to dramatically reduce your energy consumption and lower your utility bills.

NSF/ANSI-2 LED High Bay Lights

Specialized NSF/ANSI-2 certified LED high bays are food service rated fixtures designed for use in commercial kitchens, bakeries, food processing plants, and other areas where food is handled and prepared. These food-safe fixtures resist corrosion and contamination, lowering energy and maintenance costs.

Light Distribution Options for LED High Bay Lights

LED high bay fixtures provide a range of light distribution options tailored to different lighting requirements. Narrow and medium distribution options have a Type 1 or Type 5 light distribution, making them well-suited for aisles and spaces with higher ceilings, offering focused illumination. In contrast, wide distribution fixtures are ideal for open layouts, delivering uniform light across expansive areas.

Opting for medium distribution fixtures strikes a balance between the focused beam of narrow distributions and the broad coverage of wide distributions. This choice results in a rounded light pattern with a concentrated beam that minimizes light spillage. Selecting the appropriate light distribution ensures efficient and effective lighting for your commercial or industrial space, enhancing visibility and productivity.

Mounting Height for LED Linear High Bays and Low Bays

The mounting height is how high the light source is from the floor, meaning the distance from floor to fixture instead of floor to ceiling. Some LED linear high bay light fixtures are designed for chain mounting and require a minimum suspension distance from the ceiling while other linear high bays can be surface mounted. It's possible for surface mounted LED linear high bay light fixtures to require a minimum distance of recessed space between ceiling and fixture for ventilation.

Tips for Choosing the Right LED High Bay Lights

When selecting a linear LED high bay light, make sure to compare the Lumen output of your current fixture to the linear high bay you are considering. This is a better indication for which linear LED high bay fixture is right for you instead of just the wattage equivalent.

Also, be sure to check the color temperature before making a decision. A lower number Kelvin means the light is warmer, closer to incandescents, which is not the best choice for a commercial space. A higher number Kelvin means the light is cooler, closer to blue. Color temperatures of 4000 Kelvin and higher are better suited for commercial applications because this type of light helps increase productivity and decrease eye strain.

Some LED linear high bay lights can be dimmed to 10% when paired with a compatible 0-10 Volt dimmer. Check the product description and specifications, or give us a call for help picking the right high bay fixtures for your application.

LED High Bay FAQs

Here are some of the most common frequently asked questions about high bay fixtures.

What are high bays?

LED high bay fixtures are commercial fixtures designed for use in spaces with high ceilings, such as factories, warehouses, and other and industrial applications. They provide powerful illumination for large spaces and help enhance both visibility and safety. The LED lights typically come as either linear LED fixtures or UFO LED fixtures.

What is the difference between LED high bays and traditional high bay lights?

LED high bay lights use light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as their light source, whereas traditional high bay lights typically use metal halide, high-pressure sodium, or fluorescent lamps. LED high bays offer several advantages, including higher energy efficiency, longer lifespan, better light quality, and more flexible control options.

How long do LED high bay lights last?

LED high bay lights have a longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting options. On average, LED high bay lights can last up to 50,000 to 100,000 hours or more, depending on the specific model and usage.

Are LED high bay lights dimmable?

Yes, many LED high bay lights have dimming capabilities. Dimming allows you to adjust the light output according to your needs, providing energy savings and the ability to create different lighting levels for different tasks or preferences.

Are there any lamps to replace in LED high bays?

Most LED high bays used integrated LEDs instead of replaceable lamps, meaning there are no bulbs to replace. The only exception are LED ready high bays which use direct wire LED T8 tubes.

Are LED high bays suitable for high-ceiling spaces?

Yes, LED high bays are designed specifically for high-ceiling spaces, such as warehouses, industrial facilities, and gymnasiums. They offer superior illumination and can effectively cover large areas with high ceilings.

Do LED high bays require any special installation considerations?

While LED high bays are generally straightforward to install, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. It's important to ensure proper mounting for secure and stable installation, choose the right beam angle for optimal light distribution, and consider any specific electrical requirements or compatibility with existing lighting systems.

How can LED high bays help with energy savings?

Like all LED lighting, LED high bays are highly energy-efficient and can help reduce electricity consumption compared to traditional lighting options. They have lower power consumption, produce less heat, and often come with advanced controls like motion sensors and daylight harvesting, allowing for further energy savings by regulating lighting levels based on occupancy and natural light.

How do I determine the appropriate number of LED high bay lights for my space?

The number of LED high bay lights required depends on various factors, including the size of the space, ceiling height, desired illumination levels, and specific lighting requirements. One of our lighting experts can perform a lighting calculation based on these parameters to determine the optimal number of fixtures and their placement for effective and uniform lighting.
