News - How to select the right LED High Bay for different application.

1.Factory and Warehouse LED Lighting Projects & Applications:

LED High Bay lighting for Factory and Warehouse applications generally utilize 100W~300W@150LM/W UFO HB. With our access to a diverse range of factory and warehouse LED lighting products we can be sure to provide the best product for your project application. Important variable like ceiling height, light spacing and ambient temperature become essential considerations when designing factory and warehouse lighting systems. Intelligent control is also an important consideration so as to further reduce your energy requirements through automated dimming and sensor systems. With our ability to simulate your lighting project prior to light selection and installation we can take the guess work out of your lighting project so you can be sure that the final result is what was required.

LED High bay Lighting Upgrade For Metal Halide Replacement

1.) LED High Bay Lights for Aircraft Hanger:

MAF approached us requesting a suitable LED Lighting upgrade for their aging fifteen 400W metal halide high bay, some of which are still shown in the photo below. Their application is a 24m x 24m aircraft hangar with a ceiling height of about 22ft. One of the primary considerations was the need to reduce shadowing as much as possible around the aircraft so they were considering more units with less wattage rather than a few higher powered units.

E-lite Aurora UFO High Bay 150W@150lm/W high output 2250 lumens and it’s the best solution to replacement.

Our high output 150W UFO LED high bays would be adequate to give similar light to the existing 400W metal halide, but our high output 100-240W LED high bays are very economical and would potentially double the amount of existing light. As mentioned increased intensity from lateral light would help to reduce shadowing. Generally, people are grateful for the extra light and it may help reduce the shadowing. We advised that the 200W LED High bay would be adequate but the price of the 240W is not that much more if 20% more light was wanted.

2.) Factory and Mechanical Workshop Lighting Requirements:

Whilst no specific illumination levels were specified, a value of 160 lux is considered to be a minimum for general work areas. Typically, factory type assembly areas require a maintained illuminance of approximately 400 lux but for inspection or more detailed mechanical work including extra-fine bench work a range of 600 to 1200 lux is recommended or 1600 lux for extremely difficult tasks requiring fine visual acuity such as assembly of minute mechanisms. In terms of the maintenance and preparation of aircraft there are safety issues that require essential attention to detail and in many respects very detailed mechanical work requiring a high level of lighting.

E-LITE NEW EDGE 75W~450W High Bay Light passed 3G vibration and best to manufactures facility.

2. LED High Bay For Indoor Stadium & Sports Hall:

Recommends the following minimum requirements for indoor hockey lighting:

hockey training and local club play: 500 lux

major regional and international matches: 750 lux

televised matches: 1000 lux

750 lux is a very high level of lighting even for fine assembly detail factory standards. We were going to need a very high power or high output Factory style high bay light to achieve the minimum target lighting levels of 750 lux.

We tested a four different high bay models with different beam configurations with a power level ranging from 150 to 240W. The final selection was 10 x high output 160 lm/W 240W UFO high bays in 120° beam angle, and 18 high output 160 lm/W 240W UFO highbays in 90° beam angle. This provided the most cost effective design whilst providing an average illumination of 760 lux.
