1.Create a Layout
The first thing you should do when buying UFO LED high bay light is design a layout. This is because different spaces need different types of highbay lights. For instance, a storage room may only need a light with 300 lux. However, in a warehouse, you need 500 lux so that the environment can be conducive for work. Retail stores need very bright light so that consumers can clearly see the products they're buying (800 lux or more). Before you do anything else, determine the lighting requirements of each room.
2. Determine the Lumens and Watts You Need
While you should look at the watts when buying UFO LED high bay lights, lumens are more important. Lumens measure the total amount of visible light produced by a light source. As LED technology continues to advance, new LEDs are manufactured that use less watts to produce more lumens.
Watts don't tell you how bright a bulb is, lumens do. Watts only indicate the electricity a light source consumes. A good rule of thumb is 2 lumens for a cubic foot (for normal light) and 3 lumens for a cubic foot (for bright light).
When choosing UFO LED High Bay lights for highbay fixtures, consider where they will be installed as different watts are recommended for different heights.
Fixtures that are 10-15 feet high need light that produce 10,000-15,000 lumens
Fixtures that are 15-20 feet high need light that produce 16,000-20,000 lumens
Fixtures that are 25-35 feet high need light that produce 33,000 lumens
