What are LED Lighting Supply Convention Center Lighting?

LED Lighting Supply convention centers and Trade Show lights are typically high bay lights. In these spaces, ceiling heights are generally high, so the lights used need to be powerful. Our LED lighting is a great alternative to metal halide, fluorescent, and halogen lighting. They provide high-quality, consistent lighting that requires little if any maintenance.

Many of our lighting fixtures are wattage adjustable and color adjustable. So you have the ultimate flexibility after you purchase.

What's Better for a Convention Center - LED Linear or UFO High Bays?

This is a matter of choice. But one thing UFO lights do better than linear high bays is to perform better at higher mounting heights. That's because we can install optics on UFO fixtures to narrow down the beam. So that the light can get down to the exhibition floor.

The best way to decide about this is to create a lighting plan based on your needs. We can model both UFO and linear styles but the report can help us discover the best options for you.

LED Lights for Convention Centers FAQs

Is it Better to Use a Wide Beam Angle or a Narrow Beam Angle Optic?

Wide beam angles would work better, but it depends on the height of the ceiling. Achieving the right foot candles, and balanced light is easier with wide beam angles. There is a caveat here. If the ceilings are high, you will need to narrow the beams down a bit more so the lights direct to the floor.

Rather than worry about what beam angle to choose, we recommend you create a lighting plan first. The lighting plan software will define the best beam angle for you so you won’t have to guess.

What is the Best Color Temperature to Use in a Convention Center?

We would recommend either 4000K or 5000K. 5000K is the most popular light option. We also off color changing High Bays that allow you to select at the time of installation the color temperature you want

What are the Best Light Levels For a Convention Center?
