What is the lighting method used in high bay areas?
High bay lighting uses common beam angles such as 60°, 90°, and 120°. A narrow beam helps to create a more focused beam that provides a high lux level on the floor. In contrast, a wider beam angle allows large open areas with lower roof height to have an excellent distribution of light.
How many high bay LED lights do I need?
Use 100 watts High Bay lights and space them out every 8-14 feet (8 for high brightness, 14 for adequate). A 6×3 pattern for example is 18 lights for basic lighting, or go 7×3 (or 6×4/8×3 depending on wiring) for 21-24 lights to get a medium brightness level.
What lamp type requires a high bay fixture?
High Bay lights are extremely powerful and are specifically designed to meet the requirements unique to large areas. Metal Halide (MH) lamps and High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lamps have been the preferred choices for many years.
What is the difference between high bay and low bay lighting?
High-bay lighting features a deep reflector used to direct the light down from a high ceiling. High-bay fixtures also produce a diffused light, which helps to reduce glare. Low-bay lighting has a shallower reflector plus a lens, which diffuses the light outwards from a lower ceiling.
Do I need high bay lights?
Do I need a high bay light fixture? The general answer to this question depends on the height of the ceiling itself.

What size high bay lights do I need?
As a yardstick, at a height of 15 feet, about 12 feet of space is ideal for a bright light. Normal light can be attained with a space of 15 feet instead of 12. Similarly, at a height of 20 feet, a spacing of 15 feet will give bright light and 18 feet will give normal light.
How high do high bay lights need to be?
Typically, High Bay Lights apply to any large area with a ceiling height greater than 20 ft. In return, Low Bay Fixtures are used in large rooms with a ceiling height between 12 and 20 feet.
Do LED high bay lights get hot?
Therefore, many customers think that LED high bay lights will not be as hot as incandescent lamps. In fact, this is wrong. LED high bay lights still generate heat. When electricity is converted into light energy, it is partially converted into heat energy, thus generating heat.
How much power does a high bay light use?
Wattage:
| LED High Bay Light (W) | Metal Halide High Bay Light |
|---|---|
| 30-80W | 150W |
| 90-150W | 250W |
| 180-200W | 400W |
| 250W | 600W |
