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.

Round LED High Bay Lighting - LED Warehouse Lights

Designed to suspend from high ceilings, these LED round high bay fixtures provide brighter and longer lasting light. Round LED high bay fixtures generate very little heat and have no bulbs to replace, saving money on maintenance and cooling costs. Pairing these fixtures with motion sensors ensures the lights are on only when needed to further reduce energy costs. In addition, fixtures meeting DLC and DLC Premium certifications may qualify for local or state rebates.

Tips for Choosing the Right Round LED High Bay

If you are looking to retain an appearance similar to your existing MH fixtures, look for round LED high bays that come with reflectors. For a more modern look, choose fixtures that dont use reflectors. LED round high bays without reflectors are commonly referred to as UFO lights and are smaller in size to save ceiling space. Round LED high bays that are NSF certified are safe to use in food handling facilities. Make sure to compare the Lumen output of your current lights to the fixtures you are considering. This will help you better match the light output. If your space needs more light than is currently provided, go with LED high bays that have a higher Lumen output.

The color temperature, or color of the light emitted, can also affect the light output. Fixtures producing a 3500 Kelvin halogen white light are a good choice for brightening retail locations. 4000 Kelvin cool white light decreases eye strain, making it a better choice for warehouses where pick accuracy is important. For increased visibility and concentration in manufacturing facilities and sporting arenas, look for fixtures emitting a 5000 Kelvin daylight white light.

Know what conditions your fixture is capable of withstanding by checking the ingress protect (IP) and safety ratings. Damp rated fixtures can be used in where moisture may be present, while wet rated fixtures can come in direct contact with water. LED round high bays with an IP-65 rating, meaning these fixtures are protected against dust entry and water jets.

LED High Bay Lighting and Warehouse Lighting

High Bay Lighting Fixtures 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 LED linear high bay fixtures have a Type 1 or Type 5 light distribution. These distribution types are ideal for aisles or higher ceilings. Placing linear high bay 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 linear LED high bay fixtures give off a broader light distribution and are better suited for open layouts to provide a uniform light for commercial buildings and areas. LED linear high bay fixtures 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 for natural white 4000K and sunlight equivalent 5000K color temperatures.

Mounting Height for LED Linear 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 LED linear high bay light fixtures are designed for chain mounting and require a minimum suspension distance from the ceiling while linear high bays can be surface mounted. Its possible for surface mounted LED linear high bay light 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, 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. 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 linear high bay lights can be dimmed to 10% when paired with a compatible 0-10 Volt dimmer.
