Energy and Performance Benefits Of LED High Bay Lights
Energy And Performance Benefits Of LED High Bay Lights
High Bay lights are defined as those installed to illuminate areas typically with ceilings 20 feet (6 metres) to 45 feet (14 metres). High ceilings mean lighting here has lots of space to fill, so powerful lights are usually required. Systems based around incandescent or fluorescent technologies will generate significant energy costs for a business.
Greater energy efficiency can be achieved with the retrofit of LED High Bay Lights into commercial, industrial, warehouse or retail environments. The same is true for recreational spaces, such as leisure centres, sports arenas and large concert halls. LED Lighting for all these spaces provides powerful, even illumination across the working or leisure area.
Performance Requirements Of High Bay Lighting
High Bay Lights should of course ensure that the location is brightly lit, in a uniform way across the whole area. However, it is worth considering that there are two main styles of LED High Bay Lighting that feature in installations:
- Lights with reflectors that direct the light vertically onto floor areas.
- More of a diffused effect, which can be appropriate in areas such as shelving where employees need excellent illumination when picking products or components.
In both cases, correctly specified and installed LED Lighting can improve safety and productivity, especially where the existing lighting infrastructure is old or prone to breakdowns. Known for delivering brighter and more consistent lighting effects, LED Lighting is fast becoming the choice in high bay applications.
Better Efficiency With Less Maintenance
LED Lighting dramatically outperforms traditional technologies when it comes to energy efficiency. Running costs are much lower, so the additional upfront cost can be seen as an investment that pays for itself in anything from one to five years.
Another huge advantage of LED High Bay Lights is that they last much longer than traditional technologies. This means bulb replacement is a much less frequent requirement. That’s especially welcome when you consider the time and inconvenience of working at height in busy factories, warehouses or other ‘big shed’ environments.
