What is the Ideal High Bay Lighting Layout?
The ideal layout provides all the information you need to make a decision. A lighting plan shows the types of LED light fixtures used, light levels needed, balanced lighting across the space, and fixture location. Plans take the guesswork out of lighting and reduce, if not cut, bad lighting results.
How Do You Calculate the Ideal High Bay Lighting Space?
High bay light spacing can vary depending on height. At 20 feet high you can go to 15 feet spacing for bright light and normal light a spacing of 18 feet. At 30 feet high, the recommendation is 20 feet spacing between the lights for brighter light and 25 feet for normal light.
An LED high bay lighting layout calculator will not provide you with spacing, a lighting plan will. The most important thing to determine at the start is how bright you want the space to be. After we get the specifications of your space (length, width, and height), we can start designing your lighting plan. From this plan, you can see the calculated fixture spacing and light levels achieved.
How Many LED High Bay Lights Do I Need?
Both calculators and lighting plans can give you the answer to this question. Even so, creating a lighting plan will give you the most accurate calculations. It’s worth remembering that the quantity and intensity of warehouse lighting you will need will differ from how many LED shop lights you need. The same goes for any other project type and it always depends based on the particular application.

What is a LED High Bay Lighting Calculator?
An LED high bay spacing calculator, also known as a simple lighting count calculator, allows you to estimate the number of fixtures you will need to properly light a space.
The lighting plan will provide you with the number of fixtures. It will also give a visual detail of where the lights should be installed. Location, brightness on the floor or work plane, and balanced lighting will also be shown.
A lighting calculator provides rough estimates whereas a lighting plan provides a detailed report and calculations of light locations, light levels, and light balance.
