LED Light Bulbs

Benefits of LED Lights

LED light bulbs can save you money not only because they are roughly 80 percent more energy efficient than other bulbs, they also produce far less heat than metal halides, CFLs, and incandescent light bulbs. Upgrading to LED lighting means you wont spend your summer months cooling down rooms that your light bulbs are busy heating up. While originally a cooler blue tone than incandescent bulbs, LEDs now come in daylight and warm white color temperatures so you can more easily replace your existing bulbs without altering the color of your room. Visit our Lighting Guide to see what difference color temperature makes. LED lighting also offers a superior color rendering index (CRI), so you can see the colors of your artwork or makeup more accurately.

LED replacement bulbs are durable and ecologically friendly. Did you know you can recycle LED bulbs and reduce your carbon footprint up to one third? LEDs outlast the competition, staying bright for up to 11 years of continuous operation. This means less time climbing ladders trying to replace those hard to reach bulbs in vaulted ceilings.

LEDs are one of todays most promising technologies.

LEDs or Fluorescents - Which is More Efficient?

LED light bulbs for the win! When it comes to purchasing energy-efficient lighting, LEDs surpass CFLs by a wide margin. LEDs are instant-start with no warmup time needed. They work well in cold weather, and are substantially more durable since manufactured out of plastic instead of glass. From standard bulbs to fluorescent tubes, LEDs can replicate the same lighting conditions found in fluorescents while lasting longer and using less energy. As an added bonus, all LEDs are RoHS compliant and do not use mercury, a claim that cant be made by fluorescent bulbs.

LED High Bay Lighting Linear

Light Distribution with Linear High Bay and Low Bay Fixtures

Linear LED high bay and low bay fixtures are available in a variety of light distributions including medium beam fixtures and wide light distribution designs. Narrow and medium distribution fixtures have a Type 1 or Type 5 light distribution. These distribution types are ideal for aisles or higher ceilings. Placing fixtures parallel to aisles is approximately 50 percent more efficient than a perpendicular alignment and helps decrease eye strain. This layout is also easier to control with motion sensors. Wide distribution fixtures give off a broader light distribution and are better suited for open layouts to provide a uniform light for commercial buildings and areas. Fixture with a medium light distribution are somewhere in between. The light distribution is round rather than linear, but the beam is more concentrated, casting very little of the light outside of a 0-270 degree zone.

Round High Bays and Low Bays

Round LED high bay light engines designed for junction/pendant mount offer up to 100,000 life hours with 18,000-24,000 initial lumens. Dimmable high bay fixtures are not affected by frequent on-off cycles and wont lose lifespan when used with motion sensors. Common applications include retail stores, warehouses, gyms, industrial areas, and commercial buildings. 80 CRI is superior color rendering compared to traditional lighting. Shop natural white 4000K and sunlight equivalent 5000K color temperatures.

Mounting Height for High Bays and Low Bays

The mounting height is how high the light source is from the floor, meaning the distance from floor to fixture instead of floor to ceiling. Some fixtures are designed for chain mounting and require a minimum suspension distance from the ceiling while others can be surface mounted. Its possible for surface mounted fixtures to require a minimum distance of recessed space between ceiling and fixture for ventilation.

LED Replacement High and Low Bays

When selecting a linear LED high bay, consider Lumens put out by the fixture compared to your current high bay lighting. This is a better indication for which fixture is right for you instead of just the wattage equivalent. Also, be sure to check the color temperature before making a decision. A lower number Kelvin means the light is warmer, closer to incandescents, which is not be the best choice for a commercial space. A higher number Kelvin means the light is cooler, closer to blue. Color temperatures of 4000 Kelvin and higher are better suited for commercial applications because this type of light helps increase productivity and decrease eyestrain. Some LED high bays can be dimmed to 10% when paired with a compatible 0-10 Volt dimmer.

When selecting a linear LED high bay, make sure to compare the Lumen output of your current fixture to the linear high bay you are considering. This is a better indication for which linear LED high bay fixture is right for you instead of just the wattage equivalent. Also, be sure to check the color temperature before making a decision.
