FAQs
An LED high bay light is a high-output commercial or industrial luminaire designed for spaces with high ceilings.
High bay lights are commonly used in warehouses, factories, workshops, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, large retail spaces and other industrial buildings where powerful and efficient illumination is required.
Unlike standard ceiling lights, high bays are designed to deliver sufficient light from greater mounting heights while maintaining appropriate coverage and visibility across the working area.
The main difference is their intended mounting height and light output.
LED high bay lights are designed for higher ceilings and typically provide substantially greater lumen output for warehouses, factories and large industrial spaces.
LED batten lights are linear fittings generally used at lower mounting heights in areas such as garages, basements, car parks, workshops, storage rooms, plant rooms and utility spaces.
The correct fitting should be selected according to ceiling height, required lux level, floor area and the type of work being performed.
There is no universal number because warehouse lighting requirements depend on several factors.
Important considerations include:
- Warehouse dimensions
- Ceiling and mounting height
- Required lux level
- High bay lumen output
- Beam angle and light distribution
- Racking and aisle layout
- Working areas and task requirements
- Surface reflectance
For professional warehouse and industrial projects, a lighting calculation or photometric layout is preferable to estimating the number of fittings based only on floor area.
This helps determine appropriate quantities, spacing and wattages before installation.
The required lumen output depends on the mounting height, required illumination level and application.
A warehouse used primarily for storage may have different lighting requirements from a manufacturing facility, detailed workshop or industrial production area.
Higher wattage does not automatically mean a better lighting design. Optical efficiency, beam distribution, lumens per watt, mounting height and spacing all influence the final illumination.
The most appropriate high bay should therefore be selected using the required lux level and photometric performance, rather than wattage alone.
The appropriate wattage depends on the size and height of the space and the performance of the individual luminaire.
For example, Lucretia offers 100W, 150W and 200W linear LED high bay lights, allowing different outputs to be specified for different industrial applications.
Rather than simply replacing an existing high bay with another fitting of similar wattage, compare the lumen output, efficiency, optics and required lux level.
Modern LED technology can produce significantly different light output from two fittings with similar wattage, so wattage alone should not be used as the primary selection criterion.
The appropriate beam angle depends largely on the mounting height, aisle configuration and area being illuminated.
Narrower distributions can concentrate light from greater mounting heights or provide more controlled illumination within warehouse aisles.
Wider distributions can provide broader coverage in open warehouse, workshop and industrial areas.
For facilities with tall racking, specialised aisle optics may provide better vertical and floor illumination than a conventional symmetrical beam.
For larger projects, photometric calculations can determine the most appropriate optical distribution and spacing.
IP65 indicates that a luminaire is dust-tight and protected against water jets.
This makes IP65 lighting suitable for many demanding commercial and industrial environments where fittings may be exposed to dust, moisture or regular cleaning conditions.
Lucretia's range includes IP65 LED high bay and batten lighting for applications such as warehouses, factories, workshops, garages, basements and car parks.
However, IP65 does not automatically make a luminaire suitable for every harsh environment. Chemical exposure, corrosion, extreme temperatures and other site conditions should also be considered when selecting industrial lighting.
Standard industrial lighting may not be appropriate where luminaires are exposed to corrosive chemicals, salt, high humidity or aggressive industrial environments.
These applications can require specialised anti-corrosion luminaires with materials and construction selected for the environmental conditions.
Lucretia offers anti-corrosion LED high bay lighting for demanding industrial applications where conventional aluminium high bays may not provide suitable long-term durability.
For chemical plants, manufacturing facilities and other harsh environments, the environmental conditions should be reviewed before the lighting specification is finalised.
Yes. Modern LED high bay lights can provide high lumen output with substantially lower energy consumption and longer service life than many older industrial lighting technologies.
Efficiency should be compared using lumens per watt (lm/W) rather than wattage alone.
For large warehouses and factories with long operating hours, lighting controls can further reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
Depending on the project, high bay lighting can be integrated with dimming, occupancy sensors, daylight controls or intelligent lighting control systems so that areas are illuminated according to actual usage.
Lucretia offers commercial and industrial LED high bay and batten lights in Australia for warehouses, factories, workshops, car parks and large commercial facilities.
The range includes 100W, 150W and 200W linear LED high bay lights, anti-glare high bays, anti-corrosion industrial high bays and IP65 LED batten lights, alongside specialised lighting solutions for demanding commercial and industrial applications.
For larger projects, Lucretia can assist with luminaire selection, required lux levels, photometric calculations, lighting layouts, beam distribution and lighting controls based on architectural drawings, warehouse layouts and project requirements.
