What is LED High Bay lighting?
LED High Bay lighting is a type of high-power lighting that is used in spaces with high ceilings, such as warehouses, factories, sports halls and large retail areas. They are designed to evenly illuminate large surfaces from a significant height.
What is LED High Bay lighting suitable for?

High bay lights, sometimes also referred to as UFO lamps, are commonly used in high-ceilinged spaces. This is because they generate high light output in combination with a narrow beam angle. This allows the light to be optimally directed downwards and thus effectively distributed from a significant height.
Benefits of our LED High Bay Lights:
- Energy Efficiency: Our High Bay lights are exceptionally energy-efficient and can consume up to 80% less energy than traditional lighting, such as metal halide or halogen lamps. As a result, businesses can significantly reduce their energy costs.
- Long Lifespan: Thanks to the advanced LED technology, our lights have a long lifespan, meaning you will need to invest in replacements and maintenance less frequently.
- Minimal Heat Emission: Our High Bay LED lights produce less heat, preventing the ambient temperature in your warehouse or factory from rising unnecessarily. This contributes to a comfortable working environment and helps reduce air conditioning costs.
- Powerful Light Output: Our High Bay LED lamps are available in various wattages to meet your specific needs. We have LED High Bay-100W, LED High Bay-50W, LED High Bay-150W, LED High Bay-200W and LED High Bay-240W options available.
- UFO LED Lamps: In addition to our traditional High Bay lamps, we also offer futuristically designed UFO LED lamps, also known as High Bay UFOs, with a round, saucer-like shape. These lamps offer the same benefits as our regular LED High Bay lamps and add a modern touch to your space.
Applications of High Bay UFO Lamps:
Our LED High Bay lamps are ideal for various applications, including:

- Warehouses: Bright lighting is essential for safe and efficient storage and picking processes in warehouses.
- Factories: Our High Bay lights provide optimal illumination for production and assembly operations.
- Sports Facilities: Illuminate indoor sports arenas and gymnasiums with our powerful High Bay lights for enhanced performance and safety.
- Shopping Centres and Stores: Create an inviting atmosphere and showcase your products at their best with our bright lighting.
- Parking Garages: Increase safety for pedestrians and vehicles with bright High Bay lights.
How do I choose a UFO High Bay with the right light output?

Choosing an LED High Bay with the right light output is essential to ensure that your space is well illuminated and meets your lighting requirements.Here are some steps you can follow to select the right LED High Bay with the appropriate light output:
- Determine the space size: Measure the length, width, and height of the area where you intend to install the UFO high bay lighting. Multiply these values to calculate the floor area.
- Determine the required illuminance: The type of activity in the space determines the required illuminance, expressed in lux (lumens per square meter). For example, for detailed work such as in factories or warehouses, a higher illuminance is typically required (e.g. 300-500 lux). For general lighting in a warehouse, a lower illuminance (e.g. 150-300 lux) may be sufficient.
- Calculate the total light output: The light output of a High Bay is measured in lumens (lm).To calculate the total light output, multiply the floor area (in square meters) by the required illuminance (in lux). The result indicates the total number of lumens required for your space.
- Select the appropriate wattage: Compare the light output (in lumens) from various High Bay lamps. The objective is to select a High Bay that provides a light output equal to or greater than the calculated total lumens needed for your space.
- Consider the beam angle and light distribution: Pay attention to the beam angle and distribution of the High Bay. Some lamps offer a wider beam angle, while others provide a more focused light distribution. Select a lamp with the appropriate distribution to ensure uniform illumination without dark areas.
- Color temperature: Also consider the color temperature of the High Bay LED lamps. Lower color temperatures (e.g.3000K) provide warm white light, while higher color temperatures (e.g. 5000K) provide cooler white light. Choose a color temperature that matches the purpose and the atmosphere you want to create in your space. We recommend a white light color of (5000K - 6500K) Daylight white for warehouse lighting or workshop lighting.
- Quality and reliability: Make sure you select high-quality High Bay LED lamps from reputable brands or suppliers. Reliable lamps last longer and perform better, saving you costs in the long run. If you are unsure which High Bay is most suitable for your situation, you can seek advice from a lighting specialist or manufacturer. They can help you determine the right light output and find a suitable solution for your lighting needs.
Which high bay do I need for which height?
The required wattage for an LED High Bay lamp depends on the height of the space and the desired lighting level. In general, the higher the ceiling in the space, the higher the wattage of the LED High Bay lamp needs to be to deliver sufficient light to the floor. Here are some general guidelines for choosing the wattage based on the height of the space:
- Height of 3-6 metres: For spaces with a ceiling height of 3 to 6 metres, you can consider using UFO High Bay lamps with a wattage between 50W and 100W, depending on the desired lighting level. This may be suitable for smaller warehouses or workshops.
- Height of 6-8 meters: For spaces with a ceiling height of 6 to 8 meters, you can consider High Bay lamps with a wattage between 100W and 150W. These are suitable for medium-sized warehouses, production halls or sports halls.
- Height of 8-12 meters: For spaces with a ceiling height of 8 to 12 meters, it is recommended to choose High Bay lamps with a wattage between 200W and 240W. These lamps are suitable for large warehouses, factories or sports facilities.
- Height of more than 12 meters: For very high spaces with a ceiling height of more than 12 meters, you can consider High Bay LED lamps with a wattage of 240W or more. This is often necessary to achieve sufficient light intensity on the floor.
