High Bay LED Lighting: The Best Solution for Your Factory or Warehouse

High bay LEDs are at the centre of a huge change in the way we light our warehouses and factories. As a smart business owner, you no doubt want to save money. Meanwhile, the law now decrees that you must also take steps to reduce your carbon footprint. LED lighting is a great way to do both of these things.

So why should I install LED lighting in my factory/warehouse and why is it better than other options?

How LED lighting saves your business money

The one big benefit of LED lighting is energy efficiency; this is the one huge advantage that high bay LEDs have over other types in a factory setting.

To be specific, high bay LEDs can save you as much as 80% on your energy bills. And if you connect them to smart sensors, you could save even more for your business.

LED lighting helps keep you and your workers cool

If you run a factory or warehouse, it’s likely that your workspace will get too hot from time to time – especially in summer! While there is no upper limit within warehouses and factories, the government do provide guidance on how to keep the workplace at a reasonable temperature.

As stated in a previous post [link to Battle of Light Brigade article], another great benefit of LED lighting is that it gives off minimal heat. In contrast, standard incandescent lighting emits 90% heat; all of which is wasted.

Are you considering increasing your air-conditioning as a result of excess heat in the workplace? If so, you should be aware that changing your lighting rig may reduce the need for such installations or upgrades. In addition, the lack of heat makes them safer and less susceptible to fire.

LEDs last longer for even bigger savings

High bay LED lighting can last up to 80,000 hours; 10 times longer than either CFL or fluorescent lights.

They’re also more durable. In fact, LED lights are pretty much damage-proof and require little maintenance. That amounts to even bigger savings for you and your business.

They also shine brighter and quicker

Fluorescent lights tend to flicker when you turn them on –for a little while, at least. Turn on a high bay LED lamp and you’ll get that brilliant light straight away.  

LEDs distribute light more effectively than other types of lighting. In fact, many see an 8% increase in light uniformity with high bay LEDs. When compared to CFL and fluorescent lights, other benefits of high bay LEDs include less light distortion, and reduced static build-up.

This essentially means that LEDs are easier on vision; which is ideal if you or your workers are operating complex machinery. After all, they must be able to see what they’re doing!
