High Bay lighting is available in a variety of forms, each with specific features to suit different needs and aesthetic preferences. The most common types are round UFO High Bays and linear High Bays.
UFO High Bay lamps are characterized by their compact, round, and often flat design, reminiscent of the shape of a UFO. This popular variant is typically equipped with a wide beam angle, resulting in uniform light distribution over a large area. This type is often chosen for general lighting in open spaces such as warehouses and production halls.
Linear High Bay lamps have an elongated, rectangular shape. These fixtures are particularly well-suited for illuminating aisles or specific zones where a more directed light distribution is required, such as between racks in a warehouse. They can be mounted directly to the ceiling or suspended.
When choosing High Bay lighting, various technical specifications are important in order to find the right lighting solution for your space. Understanding these terms helps select the most suitable fixture.
| Specification | Explanation | Relevance for High Bays |
|---|---|---|
| Lumen (lm) | Unit for the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. | Indicates how bright the lamp is. For high ceilings, higher lumen values are necessary. |
| Color Temperature (Kelvin) | Indicates the 'color' of the light, from warm white to cool white. | Cool temperatures (4000K-6500K) are more common in industrial environments for a bright, energizing work atmosphere. |
| CRI (Color Rendering Index) | Measures how accurately a light source renders colors. | A high CRI (80+) is desirable in environments where color recognition is important, such as workshops or showrooms. |
| IP Rating (Ingress Protection) | Indicates protection against dust and water. The first digit stands for dust, the second for water. | For industrial and damp environments, a higher IP rating (e.g., IP65) is important. |
| IK Rating (Impact Protection) | Indicates the impact resistance of a fixture. | Important in areas where the lamp might be exposed to mechanical impact. |
| Beam Angle (degrees) | The angle at which light is distributed from the fixture. | A wide angle (120°) is suitable for open spaces, a narrower angle (60°/90°) for high aisles. |
The required wattage for a High Bay lamp depends on the ceiling height and the desired light intensity on the work floor. Below you will find a general guideline for LED High Bay lamps:
| Ceiling Height | Recommended Wattage (LED) | Comparable to Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| 4 - 6 meters | 50 - 100 Watts | Up to 250 Watts Discharge Lamp |
| 6 - 8 meters | 100 - 150 Watts | 250 - 400 Watts Discharge Lamp |
| 8 - 12 meters | 150 - 200 Watts | 400 - 500 Watts Discharge Lamp |
| More than 12 meters | 200 Watts or more | 500 Watts or more Discharge Lamp |
High Bay fixtures are usually suspended from the ceiling using chains, cables, or brackets. Proper installation ensures optimal light distribution and safety.
Modern High Bay lamps often offer smart functionalities that further enhance energy efficiency and ease of use.
