What are highbays used for?

Indoor floodlights or so-called LED HIGH BAY LIGHTS are used in department stores or factory buildings because the light is as bright as daylight and this promotes productivity and safety. We recommend that you use high bay with LED technology to save additional energy and thus money.

Key facts at a glance:

·        Adequate lighting in warehouses is especially important for safety

·        High bays are mostly used in daylight white (> 6,500 K) to simulate daylight within a hall

·        LED high bays are longer lasting, more energy efficient and contain no toxic substances such as B. in HPS lights, in which mercury is included

·        Protection to IP65 or IP66 should be given

What are the problems with lighting large interiors?

In order to illuminate effectively and safely, it is important that department stores, factories or warehouses with high ceilings have lights with a strong light output. Without strong light output, the safety of staff, such as forklift drivers, can be compromised, as some areas are not adequately lit. Incorrectly mounted and adjusted lighting can dazzle employees. So you have to think about how your warehouse should be illuminated. The beam angle, the height of the lamp and the distance between them are important.

Is the change to LED high bay worth it?

With LED highbays you benefit the most from the energy efficiency and longevity of the luminaires, which HID / HPI high bay or conventional fluorescent luminaires cannot stand up to. Here you can find the most important differences at a glance and see why the change is worthwhile.

HID / HPI Highbay

High-pressure discharge lamps or HID lamps are inefficient in the long run. The light comes on with delay. Due to the heat development of the luminaires can cause permanent damage, which means that they must be replaced. Not only does it make money, but you also have to think about how to change the meter-high lamps. Their lifetime is also very short, which makes it even more difficult. In addition, a ballast is needed so that you can use HID lamps at all.

HPS and fluorescent lights

Also common is the use of HPS (High-Pressure Sodium) and fluorescent lights in warehouses. However, these lamps are only available in certain color temperatures and have a poor color rendering. They too only light up after a warm-up phase and not directly when the switch is pressed. The biggest disadvantage is the high content of mercury that the lamps have. When an HPS light explodes, the poisonous elements spread everywhere.

Efficient LED high bay for large interiors

Sufficient lighting in industrial areas or warehouses is very important as it also supports safety within the area. This is an advantage, especially when traveling by forklift truck. LED high bay is the ideal solution for illuminating large spaces. The luminaires reduce maintenance, improve the quality of light and increase energy efficiency:

·        No warm-up time - switch on the light and illuminate the area directly!

·        No ballast necessary

·        No energy loss - pay only for electricity that is needed!

·        60% energy savings → good for the environment, good for your budget!

·        Long service life: approx. 50,000 hours → an advantage especially with meters high luminaires, as they are not so easy without a ladder or similar. Can Replace

·        Dimmable - so you do not have to install several lamps with different wattages for different illuminance levels

·        Sensors - the light is only used when needed and automatically turns off

·        Fast amortization

·        Protection according to IP65 or IP66 given!
