A step by step guide on how to choose industrial LED high Bay lights. The shift to LED for more durability, improved light quality, color changing technology, less maintenance and most important saves money on utility bills.

2. LED lights start up instantly, last five times
longer, and less susceptible to lumen
depreciation. They are also much easier to dim
or use with motion/occupancy sensors than HID
or linear fluorescents. And then, of course,
there's the energy—and energy bill—savings. This
savings is especially noticeable with high-
intensity lights, like a parking lot and street
lights—and high bays.
5. Lumens is the amount of light emitted from a light
bulb. More lumens equals brighter light, fewer
lumens equals dimmer light. Watt is the measure
used to evaluate the brightness produced by a
light bulb. An incandescent bulb of 60 Watt gives
out 800 lumens whereas the LED bulb gives the
same amount of lumens at 12 watts.
9. Once you decided on the lux
levels, select the beam angle i.e.
the spread of the light beam.
Increasing the lux level will give
the best results only if the beam
angle is optimal. Correct beam
angle can reduce the glares to
minimum.
11. The higher the Kelvin value of
the light source, the closer the
light's color output will be to
actual sunlight. Bulbs with an
output of 3500K or lower on
the scale will have an amber
hue.
