LED High Bay Lights
Buy LED high bay lights
This is where you'll find our LED high bays for warehouses, workshops, production halls and sports halls. The current range comes in 100, 150 and 200 watts, all at 200 lumens per watt with a Philips driver. We've been supplying businesses from Cologne since 2014. If you're not sure which output your hall needs, give us a quick call. We'll sort it out in five minutes.
At a glance
The LED high bays in the current range reach 200 lm/W: 20,000 lumens from 100 watts, 30,000 from 150 watts and 40,000 from 200 watts. All of them have a Philips Xitanium driver, IP65 protection and IK09 impact resistance, dim via 0–10 V, can be switched to lower power settings on the housing and come with a five-year warranty. Colour temperatures: 4000, 5000 and 6000 kelvin. 100 watts suits halls up to about 6 metres, 150 watts 4 to 8 metres, and 200 watts tall halls of around 7 to 8 metres. For control by zone, presence or daylight, there are separate DALI high bays.
Which output suits which hall
Ceiling height comes first, then the work being done. A warehouse with order picking needs less light than an assembly hall at 300 lux.
100 watts
Smaller warehouses, workshops and ancillary rooms. Replaces 250 W metal halide or older LED of about 170 W.
150 watts
The most common choice for production, workshops and warehouses with order picking. Replaces 400 W mercury vapour or metal halide, or older LED of about 250 W.
200 watts
Tall halls, assembly at 300 lux and sales floors. The right class where the old 400-watt fittings were too dim.
From about 8 metres you need a narrower beam angle, otherwise too little light reaches the floor. How many high bays a hall needs, and the lux levels for each type of work, are covered in our guide to LED high bay lighting.
The current range compared
| Class | 100 W | 150 W | 200 W |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luminous flux | 20,000 lm | 30,000 lm | 40,000 lm |
| Power settings on the housing | 70 / 100 W | 90 / 120 / 150 W | 120 / 160 / 200 W |
| Beam angle | 120° | 90°, 60° on request | 90°, 60° or 120° on request |
| Ceiling height | up to about 6 m | about 4 to 8 m | around 7 to 8 m |
Common to all three: 200 lm/W, Philips Xitanium driver, IP65 and IK09, 0–10 V dimming, colour temperatures of 4000, 5000 and 6000 K, and a five-year warranty. A reflector cover in ribbed polycarbonate is available as an option. It cuts the glare when you look into the fitting at an angle.
If it doesn't meet our standards, we don't sell it.
When it pays to replace
- LED high bays from 2012 to 2016 are failing more and more often after ten years of continuous operation.
- Older LED that still works often manages only 100 to 120 lm/W and has grown dimmer over the years. At 200 lm/W you get full light output back and use around 40 per cent less power.
- Cheap high bays bought online often last only six months at 8 to 10 hours a day. The driver is usually what gives up.
- A 400 W mercury vapour or metal halide fitting draws around 450 W including its ballast. A 150 W LED high bay replaces it on a third of that.
To see what the switch would save in your hall and how quickly it pays for itself, use the payback calculator in our guide to LED high bay lighting.
Dimming, power settings or DALI
For fixed groups, 0–10 V is enough. With the power settings on the housing, you can match the brightness to the hall during installation if it turns out brighter than needed. If you want control by zone, presence or daylight, choose DALI high bays. Sensors and control gear are under lighting control and accessories.
Ordering as a business customer
Our shop is for business customers, and all prices exclude VAT. Each item shows whether it's available for immediate delivery. Alongside the current range, this category also lists older models while stocks last. For larger quantities or a whole hall, we'll send you a quotation: request a quotation.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a high bay, a UFO high bay and a narrow-beam high bay?
They're almost always the same kind of fitting: it hangs below the hall ceiling and lights the floor. ‘UFO’ describes the round, flat shape. Narrow-beam versions are used in very tall halls. In German, the fitting is called a Hallenstrahler.
What output do I need for my hall?
As a rule of thumb: up to about 6 metres, 100 watts; up to about 7 metres, 150 watts; at 7 to 8 metres or 300 lux and above, 200 watts. The exact number of fittings depends on floor area, the work being done, racking and walls. Give us a call and we'll work it out with you.
Will an LED high bay replace a 400-watt metal halide fitting?
Yes. In most halls up to about 7 metres, a 150-watt LED high bay is enough. If the old installation was already too dim, choose 200 watts. The old fitting draws around 450 watts including its ballast.
Are the high bays available in warm white at 3000 K?
Not in the current 200 lm/W range. Some power classes come in a 150 lm/W version at 3000 K. Ask us which one is currently in stock.
Can I dim them or connect them to DALI?
The current range dims via 0–10 V and has power settings on the housing. A standard trailing-edge dimmer won't work. There are separate DALI high bays for DALI systems.
How long is the warranty?
The current range comes with a five-year warranty. The driver is made by Philips, because the driver is where cheap high bays fail first.
Can I order larger quantities for a project?
Yes. For a whole hall or several sites, we'll send you a quotation. Send us the hall dimensions and the number of old fittings, or give us a call.
