Industrial spotlights & high bay lights

LED hall lighting and LED hall spotlights

Due to the drastic increases in electricity prices this year and at the beginning of next year, many commercial customers are in the process of converting their hall lighting to LED hall spotlights. Classic HQL industrial spotlights actually consume far too much electricity, measured against the long periods of use. Savings of 65% and more are often possible by using modern LED high-bay luminaires. And this is usually achieved with significantly improved lighting quality. Modern LED high-bay luminaires can replace existing high-bay lighting with electricity savings of around 60-65%. This means, for example, that a modern LED UFO 150W high-bay spotlight can replace an existing 250Watt one relatively easily in terms of brightness.

The intended use of LED hall lighting is planned precisely in advance. In warehouses and for the packaging of goods, the requirements are different from those for LED highbay industrial lighting. The ceiling height also influences which type of highbay spotlight is used. Either wide-beam high-bay luminaires or LED low-bay luminaires for very high ceilings.

Planning LED highbay lighting

This can be controlled accordingly at the planning stage by the wattage or beam angle of the hall lighting. Flat LED UFOs are also frequently used because they have a very good price/performance ratio. When using UFO luminaires, however, glare can sometimes occur if too much power and wattage are planned with ceiling heights that are far too low. This must be avoided for reasons of occupational safety. LED hall lighting should be planned in accordance with existing occupational safety guidelines and, in addition to brightness, also reduce glare and flickering of the luminaires. Accordingly, modern LED highbay luminaires we offer feature flicker-free power supply units and optional accessories such as dimmable power supply units or glare-reduced lampshades.

LED highbay floodlights and highbay types

The most common types of highbay luminaires are LED highbay luminaires 100W, led ufo highbay luminaires 150W, 200W and 240W.

Modern highbay luminaires with 70W power already achieve values that were previously reserved for 100W models. Basically, the more efficient a high-bay luminaire is, the higher the purchase price.

Depending on the type, the beam angle and thus the glare can also be varied

LED high-bay luminaires in retail

UFO high-bay luminaires are now even used in combination with transparent reflector shades in shops and retail outlets because they have very good efficiency values and are affordable. For example in shopping arcades and malls to illuminate general areas and walkways. Nowadays, the lighting quality of LED high-bay luminaires is also so good that there is no difference between them and old luminaires.

Energy efficiency and other savings potential for hall lighting

The most important argument for a new generation of high-bay luminaires is energy efficiency and the requirement for lower energy consumption. Lower electricity costs for high-bay spotlights: electricity costs can be reduced by around 50-70% by replacing or converting to induction lighting or LED high-bay spotlights. This always depends on local conditions. With modern technologies, the same or better lighting quality can be achieved with 50% less electricity consumption. Often combined with higher-contrast light.

References of LED high bay luminaires as hall lighting

We have several models of LED UFO spotlights in use with customers. These are mostly production halls, workshops and manufacturing areas in the metalworking industry, carpentry or goods production. Mostly equipped with higher ceilings. The bright and efficient spotlights are also used as industrial spotlights for warehouse lighting and in manufacturing fulfilment.

We have also successfully installed LED hall spotlights in sports facilities or car dealerships with high exhibition halls and have only rarely had to complain about failures.
We have already realised several projects with LED hall lighting and achieved very good results.

The quality of the spotlights and their efficiency are important selection criteria for LED hall lighting. No one wants to change hall spotlights frequently with high ceilings. The models used in LED hall lighting need to function smoothly in continuous operation.

LED hall lighting DALI dimmable

By taking advantage of the change in daylight caused by sensors and lowering the brightness in areas with lower luminous intensity requirements, even more electricity can be saved.

Those who take the trouble to invest in dimmable LED high-bay lighting often end up with DALI control. DALI high-bay luminaires can be controlled individually or as a group and automatically adjusted and regulated by daylight sensors. We offer DALI LED high-bay luminaires in the four common wattages. The DALI high-bay luminaires are DALI2 compatible. This guarantees the greatest possible compatibility with any existing DALI hall lighting.

By using DALI LED high-bay luminaires, additional electricity savings of up to 20% can be achieved compared to the normal optimised version.

Maintenance costs / service life:

For industrial halls with a height of between 8 and 16 metres, the maintenance factor is an economic aspect that is often not taken into account. Classic high-pressure mercury lamps (HQL) with a service life of 5000-7000 hours quickly lose their luminosity and need to be replaced more frequently. In the past, systems were often oversized during lighting design, which in turn resulted in higher electricity costs.

When selecting new technologies, luminaires with a long service life, high efficiency and a high luminous flux stability factor are recommended. This guarantees a constant quality of the luminous flux emitted by the luminaire over a longer period of time.
