LED Low Bay Lights

1. What you need to know about Efficacy - High Performance LED

We have LED Low bays fixtures that are rated between 130 and 180 lumens/watt. The higher the efficacy, the less watts you will consume producing the necessary light levels. While the initial cost may be slightly higher for the higher efficacy product, the payback will more than offset this additional cost.

Metal halide to LED Low Bay conversion

10,000 -13,000 lumens:  replaces 250W HID fixtures

13,000 - 23,000 lumens: replaces 400W HID fixtures 

* Not all LED Low Bays are the same - read the specs!

It's not uncommon to see 2 different 100 Watt LED Low Bay Lights produce different amounts of lumens (aka light). That's because the efficiency's determined by the LED chips used.

 

Products using older chips will produce less lumens than newer more efficient chips. And the difference can be dramatic. Its OK to pay attention to the watts of the unit, but also pay attention to the lumens it produces.

 

3. Do you need High Voltage 480V?

Are you trying to replace LED Low Bay fixtures that up to 480 Volts? We have solutions that cover these higher voltage installations. Our constant current drivers are equipped to handle everything from 100 Volts up to to 480 Volts (standard driver in our kits are 100V-277V). We can handle single or 3-phase power as well. 

5. What Color Rendering Index do you really need?

Color rendering index defines the color of light. It tells us how well a light source will reveal the colors of items compared to sunlight (the ideal light source). When it comes to HID lamps, people usually complain about one thing: poor light color. Light color is important in low bay fixtures. It has a huge impact on clarity and contrast.

Most of our Low Bay Lighting fixtures are offered between CRI 70 and 85. We can special order almost any CRI you might need. Typically, for general purpose lighting, 70 CRI is all you need.

7. Are you looking for Lighting Controls like Motion Sensors?

Motion Sensors and other controls can dramatically reduce lighting costs by turning off or dimming the lights when people leave the area.

PIR and microwave motion sensors can be added to turn the lights on when motion is detected and off / dimmed when no activity is detected.

Dimmable Low Bay Lights need a 0-10V dimmable driver. Unlike traditional lighting, dimming LED fixtures is relatively simple and does not affect the life of the bay fixture.

And if you're trying to save additional money, nothing saves more money than off or 10% lit.

9. Are you trying to Lower Energy and Maintenance Costs?

Energy Savings

One of the top benefits of LED technology is that it improves safety while reducing costs. Switching to LED can help a company to save millions of dollars on both energy and labor. LED lights need very little maintenance because they are very well constructed. The light fixtures also have a long life expectancy and draw very little electricity.

 

Many companies put off switching to LED because of the costs related to a lighting upgrade. But the thing is, the savings LED lights offer make the conversion project worthwhile. In general, the payback period for any large-scale upgrade is about 1 to 2 years.

Replacing light fixtures in low bay applications is expensive and labor-intensive. LED lights have a very long lifespan and lower maintenance costs.

 

LED bulbs last 50,000+ hours when ambient temperature is 55°C . At 25C, the life time jumps significantly. This equates to 10-20 years of fixture life.
