Industrial Light Fixtures & Lighting For The Future

High bay lighting is the most common type of lighting used in areas that have high ceilings or need to be illuminated from a great distance of fifteen feet or more. You most commonly find bay lighting in such places as arenas, stadiums, gyms, factories, warehouses, loading docks and more. While high bay lights have traditionally used High Intensity Discharge lights or florescent lights, many places are changing over to LED lights. Here is why.

• LED high bay lights are more energy efficient. They use smaller watts of power than other lights and a savings up to 80% can be seen in electric bills.
• They last for a longer time period and therefore need to be changed less often. Up to ten times the duration of other light bulbs.
• They do not heat up when they are on, like other lights do. This can decrease the need for air conditioning by as much as 20%. Another way to save on the electric bill.
• They are more durable and withstand the test of time. They are very resistant to damage and are basically maintenance free. They do not break easily if bumped or dropped.
• LED high bay lighting is flicker free, where florescent lighting, for example, can emit a great deal of flickering.
• Less light distortion is noticed with LED lighting.
• Static buildup is minimal with LED lighting.
• Light uniformity is greatly improved when high bay LED lighting is used. As much as 8% better light distribution is reported.

Initially, the cost of using LED high bay lighting is higher, but the improvement in quality and the cost savings later on makes the lights worth it. In the end LED lighting is more environmentally friendly and provides higher light quality than other high bay lighting options.
