How to choose the right LED high bay light

How to choose the right LED high bay light

When designing warehouse lighting, according to the visual requirements, the nature of warehouse operations and environmental conditions, through the selection and configuration of LED high bay lights, the working area has reasonable illuminance, color rendering, suitable brightness distribution and comfortable visual environment.


We can first consider the following factors:


1. Energy saving: realize the intelligent control of the lighting system, adopt dual-channel lighting in the warehouse, one channel can be closed during the day, and two channels can be opened at night.


2. Safety: Lighting lamps with dust-proof, anti-corrosion and anti-riot properties should be used to ensure the safe operation of lamps.


3. Long service life: The warehouse should not replace the lamps frequently, so as not to increase the maintenance cost in the later period. Choose lamps with long service life and high stability.


4. Warehouse height: The common ones are 13-20 feet for low-level warehouses, 20-49 feet for middle-level warehouses, and 49 feet for special high-rise warehouses.


5. Shelf height: low-level warehouse shelf height is generally 7 feet, and middle-level warehouse shelf height is generally 26 feet.


6. Illumination requirements: In order to clearly identify commodities and labels, the minimum illumination on the ground should not be lower than 80lux.


1-3 Elements Relatively speaking, as long as you choose LED products from honest merchants and supply them according to the parameters agreed in the contract, there is basically no problem. The most important thing is to arrange the position of the lights according to the elements 4-5, that is, according to the height and placement of the shelves, ensure that each channel has enough lighting, and use professional lighting simulation software. Analyze and calculate how much power is required LED lights can meet the lighting requirements in element 6.

Let's take the most common warehouse height of 13-20 feet as an example. The customer requires that the ground illumination is 120lux. We recommend a 50W LED high bay light with a 90° shade. If you reach the ground with 80W, you can reach 160lux. Both lights span between 13-20 feet. Z common warehouse is 29-39 feet. For example, warehouse heights on Amazon are 39 feet and shelf heights are 26 feet. They require lamps and lanterns to be energy-saving, power-saving, safe, and have a long service life. Due to the high shelf height, the top of the shelf also needs to be illuminated. We recommend a 150W finned high bay light with a beam angle of 120 degrees. Lamp installation height: 31 feet, 150 lux at 29.5 inches above the ground, 240 lux at 20 feet above the ground. The span between lights is 20 feet.


When determining the warehouse lighting plan, the special requirements of different types of buildings for warehouse lighting should be considered, lighting and natural lighting should be properly handled, efficient light source lamps should be used, construction funds should be used reasonably, and the quality of warehouse lighting should be improved.
