Quonset Hut Lighting

Types of LED Lights to Use in a Quonset Hut

Depending on the height of the structure, a good option for anything under 20 feet high is low bay lights. Above 20 feet, think of LED UFO Lights. UFOs are great rugged commercial lighting fixtures that are ideal for lighting these types of structures.

Steps to Properly Light a Quonset Hut

We recommend you start with a lighting plan. We have done thousands of lighting plans for commercial buildings, including pole barns and Quonset structures. We do these for free. Tell us the size of the building including height, mounting height, and how bright you want it. We will send you a lighting plan that meets your needs. And we will make sure the light is balanced and even.

LED Lights Required for a 40 X 60 Quonset

That depends on how bright you want it. A good start is 6 lights. A well-lit Quonset can have as many as 12 lights. It depends on your needs and how you want to use the space.

Four 120 Watt UFO lights should work really well. They will produce a lot of light in the space.

Best Color Temperature to Use in a Quonset

Our best advice is to choose 5000K or 4000K. Most people like the look of 5000K, but for those who want it a little ‘warmer’ then 4000K is a good option.

Will Cold Temperatures affect LED Lighting Inside a Quonset?

Not at all. As long as the Quonset stays above -30F, you shouldn’t have any issues. Unlike fluorescent lighting which takes a long time to power up on cold days, LED Lights will be full power the moment you turn them on.

Dimmable LED Lights

Most of the ones we sell are, but not all are dimmable. So if dimming is important, ask us and we will point you in the right direction.

LED Lights with Motion Sensors

Yes, many of our fixtures support motion sensors. If this is something you want, let us know and we can help you select the right light that includes motion sensors.

Installing LED Lights in a Quonset

None at all. These lights are easy to install. If you are replacing your existing lights, it’s even easier. Just follow the instructions provided and you will end up with years of high-quality, trouble-free lighting.

Things to Look For During LED Light Installation in a Quonset

If you’re hanging lights above trusses, the truss can block light. This will cause shadows. So if you can, make sure the light is mounted below the trusses so light can be evenly distributed.
