LED High Bays

LED High Bays (UFO lamps) for Warehouses and Industrial Halls

Are you looking for a powerful high bay LED solution for your warehouse, workshop, or production hall? In this category, you will find professional LED High Bays, also known as UFO lamps or UFO LED lamps.

Although the terms UFO lamp and high bay are often used interchangeably, we deliberately refer to them as LED High Bay because this is the technical term within the professional market. In addition to these well-known round models, we also offer Tube High Bays. These are elongated high bays, specially developed for a more linear and even light distribution. A Tube High Bay is particularly suitable for aisleways, gangways, and production lines where light needs to be distributed over a longer distance.

Our LED High Bays are designed for high ceilings from approximately 4 meters and deliver a high light output per watt. Ideal for:

• Warehouses
• Distribution centers
• Production halls
• Sports halls
• Showrooms
• Workshops

What is an LED High Bay (UFO lamp)?

An LED high bay is a powerful industrial luminaire for high spaces. The name UFO lamp refers to the round, compact shape of the luminaire.

Characteristics of a good high bay LED:

• High lumen output (15,000 – 40,000+ lumens)
• Efficiency of 140–190 lumens per watt
• Wide or narrow beam angle
• Suitable for ceiling heights from 4 to 15 meters
• Long lifespan (50,000+ operating hours)

Where traditional gas discharge lamps consume a lot of energy, an LED High Bay offers up to 60% energy savings.

How to install High Bays?

Installing an LED high bay is relatively simple, provided it is done correctly.

1. Suspension

Most LED High Bays come with:

• Hanging eye (standard)
• Chain mounting
• Bracket mounting (optional)
  
  

For warehouses, suspension by chain or threaded rod, directly to the roof structure, is usually chosen.

2. Determining installation height

The installation height is crucial for:

• Light distribution
• Shadow formation
• Number of luminaires required

A rule of thumb:

• 4–6 meters → 100W to 150W
• 6–8 meters → 150W to 200W
• 8–12 meters → 200W to 240W

3. Electrical connection

Professional high bays are directly connected to 230V.
Optionally, you can choose:

• Dimmable driver (1-10V or DALI)
• Motion sensor
• External emergency unit

For large projects, we always recommend a lighting plan.

How many High Bays do I need?

This is the most frequently asked question for LED high bay lighting.

The required number depends on:

• Area of the space
• Installation height
• Desired lux value
• Beam angle
• Lumen output per luminaire

The table below provides a practical indication:

Narrow beam (60°)

For higher mounting heights (10 meters or more), a 60° beam angle is often chosen. This directs the light more concentrated downwards, resulting in less light loss.

Example calculation

Warehouse:

• 1,000 m²
• 7 meters high
• Desired illuminance: 300 lux

Required lumens:
1,000 m² × 300 lux = 300,000 lumens

When using 200W high bays (30,000 lumens):
300,000 / 30,000 = 10 luminaires

This is a simplified calculation. For accurate project lighting, we recommend a professional lighting plan.

Which wattage High Bay do I need?

The right choice depends on:

• Height of the space
• Type of activities
• Desired lux value

Guidelines for lux values:

• Storage room: 150–200 lux
• Warehouse with order picking: 250–300 lux
• Production environment: 300–500 lux
• Sports hall: 500+ lux
  
  

A higher wattage does not automatically mean better lighting. It's about finding the right balance between lumens, beam, and height.

High Bay with or without sensor?

A common question for high bay LED luminaires is whether a sensor is necessary.

High Bay without sensor

Suitable for:

• Continuously used workshops
• Production halls with fixed occupancy
• Sports halls

Advantage:

• Lower purchase price
• Less complex

High Bay with motion sensor

Ideal for:

• Warehouse aisles
• Storage locations
• Areas with varying occupancy

Advantages:

• Energy savings of up to 30% extra
• Automatic activation
• Adjustable run-on time
• Daylight control possible

For large logistics centers, a high bay with a sensor is almost always cost-effective.

Why choose LED High Bays?

A professional LED high bay offers:

• High energy efficiency
• Long lifespan
• Instant full light
• Low maintenance costs
• Reliable performance in industrial environments

Our high bay LED luminaires are suitable for intensive use and designed for long-lasting performance in industrial halls.
