Choosing LED High Bay Lighting for Warehouses and Factories

Efficacy, optics, glare and controls: the key decisions behind a high-bay lighting project.

Choosing LED High Bay Lighting for Warehouses and Factories

Replacing legacy high-bay fittings with LED is one of the most reliable energy-saving measures in industrial buildings — provided the luminaires are specified correctly.

Efficacy is not the whole story

Lumens per watt matter, but so do optics. A narrow beam in a high-racked aisle puts light where it is needed; a wide beam suits open production areas.

Plan the controls

Occupancy sensors and daylight dimming often deliver savings comparable to the LED upgrade itself. Confirm driver compatibility at the specification stage.

Ask for photometric data

IES or LDT files allow a lighting design to be verified before purchase, avoiding over- or under-lit spaces.
