Types and applications of different LED high bay lights

What are LED high bay lights

As the absolute main force in the field of industrial lighting, LED industrial and mining lamps have occupied more than 90% of the market share with their excellent comprehensive performance. These lamps use high-quality LED chips and advanced heat dissipation structure design, providing a service life of more than 100,000 hours, but the energy consumption is only 30%-50% of traditional sodium lamps or metal halide lamps. The flicker-free feature reduces visual fatigue and provides a safe and bright lighting environment for industrial lighting. Optional DALI, 0-10V dimming or Zigbee/WiFi control enables intelligent scheduling and energy optimization in large facilities.

LED high bay lights cover almost all industrial environments, including general manufacturing workshops, warehousing and logistics centers, electronic assembly areas and machining areas. Whether it is a place that requires long-term continuous lighting or frequent switching, LED high bay lights can provide stable and reliable lighting solutions.

UFO LED high bay light

UFO LED high bay lights are named for its unique round design that looks like a flying saucer, representing a new generation of technology in industrial lighting. The thin profile is achieved by highly integrating its optical, thermal, electrical and mechanical systems. It is a luminaire-as-heat-sink LED lighting system with the LED array mounted on a large, compact heat sink. UFO LED high bay lights are equipped with round, rectangular or vertical drivers, which are installed on the lamp assembly while maintaining thermal isolation between the driver and the LED light engine. LED high bay lights offer a variety of beam angle options (60°/90°/120°), and different installation methods such as hoisting, bracket installation, and surface installation can meet the needs of different heights, illuminance, and installation environments.

Another advantage of the "UFO" design is that its compact size reduces packaging volume, making it easy to transport and store. In addition, optional accessories such as aluminum reflector cups, brackets, emergency batteries and steel cables can better meet the personalized needs of the project. ZGSM can provide free lighting simulation to help project parties confirm whether the distribution of lamps, installation height and lamp lens (with or without reflector) meet the UGR requirements of the project (Warehouse lighting design: standards, layouts & luminaire selection).

Linear LED high bay lights

Linear LED high bay lights are linear structure luminaires with LED as the light source. These high bay lights are designed to look like T8 bulbs, but they have nothing in common. The structure is designed to be flexible, and the length can be customized or multiple lamps can be combined according to actual needs. Linear high bay lights are ideal for lighting the interior of large buildings, providing vertical illumination for warehouse shelves to facilitate the finding and counting of items, because they can illuminate a larger space at the same time. They can be installed in a variety of ways, including with a stem, chain, or surface mount, and they can be long and wide or long and thin. If your space has a lot of aisles or shelving, long linear high bay lights are the best choice. You can install lights over each aisle to illuminate all the products on the shelves.

Explosion-proof LED high bay lights

In flammable and explosive environments, safety is the primary consideration in lighting design. The explosion-proof LED high bay lights adopt special explosion-proof structure design and high-strength shell material, which can effectively isolate the internal circuit from the external environment and prevent electric sparks from causing explosions. When the working environment of a hazardous location contains flammable substances, explosion-proof lighting fixtures can eliminate the risk of explosion, thereby improving safety. However, if the working environment is as safe as traditional industrial sites, industrial LED high bay lights can provide a reliable and orderly lighting solution for your workplace. With ATEX certification, its high sealing design ensures that dust and moisture cannot invade the inside of the lamp, and the protection level can reach IP66 and above.

These LED high bay lights are usually designed with no flicker and low heat to ensure lighting stability and comfort. They also have corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemical substances. It is widely used in chemical workshops, petroleum facilities, factories with a lot of dust (such as flour mills, wood processing plants), gas stations and any industrial areas where flammable and explosive gasses or dust exist.

High temperature resistant LED high bay lights

As the name suggests, the High Temperature LED is designed for high temperature and high heat industrial environments. The luminaire features a vertically positioned LED driver and can operate in ambient temperatures of up to 65°C. Excellent cooling performance and advanced thermal management system can quickly dissipate heat, ensure long life, and minimize light flux attenuation. High temperature LED high bay lights are the best choice for industrial sites with high ambient temperatures and high ceilings.

High temperature resistant LED high bay lights are suitable for high temperature industrial environments around thermal equipment such as glass factory furnace area, steel factory heat treatment workshop, foundry, ceramic factory kiln. It is also suitable for non-air-conditioned factories in tropical areas or any place where high heat is generated.

LED high bay lights for food factories

Food processing environments have special requirements for lighting equipment, especially hygiene standards and light quality. LED high bay lights for food factories strictly follows food safety and hygiene standards, has a high protection level (usually ≥IP65), and has a smooth surface without dead corners, making it easy to clean and disinfect. The LED high bay lights and lanterns adopt ingenious inclined modeling and super smooth corrosion-resistant surface, which are waterproof and antifouling, so that food, dirt or debris have nowhere to hide, far exceeding the strict requirements of food processing plants and related areas. The light source has high color rendering (Ra≥80, higher requirements for quality inspection area), comfortable color temperature (4000K-5000K natural light), no flicker and low glare, providing the best lighting environment for food processing and quality inspection. It can be equipped with microwave motion sensor to further save energy.

Selection and summary of LED high bay lights

The above are several types of LED high bay lights that are widely used in the market. The final lighting solution should be based on detailed lighting simulation and luminaire testing, and fully consider your specific needs, space characteristics and budget to create an efficient, energy-saving, safe and comfortable industrial lighting environment. ZGSM can provide free warehouse lighting design (DIALux) to help optimize the layout and ensure that illuminance, uniformity (what is light uniformity and how to improve it?) and UGR meet the corresponding standards. I hope this guide can help you fully understand various types of LED high bay lights and provide clear guidance for your lighting decisions.
