Linear High Bay Light
Where should high bay lights be used?
How do I protect my linear high bay lights?
The worst thing that will likely happen to your linear high bay during the course of its normal operation is that small, flying insects like cockroaches, flies, and moths will get under the cover. When it's time to change the bulb, you will likely notice many carcasses and parts from beetles, hornets, mosquitoes, and the like sitting in the bottom of the bulb cover. Other than maintaining a cleaner environment that doesn't attract such bugs, there's not a lot you can do about this that won't cost you extra money. Just dump the past, wash the inside of the cover with a damp cloth, and replace it as normal.
What is a linear high bay light?
Linear high bay lights are lights designed to illuminate long, narrow sections of large interiors from a high ceiling mount. Spaces with aisle layouts like supermarkets, warehouses, or storage facilities are ideal for linear high bays.
Why should I use linear high bay lights?
LED linear high bay lights are longer-lasting and more energy efficient than traditional tube and ballast fixtures, making them ideal for use in expansive, commercial spaces. They require little maintenance once installed and use 60% less energy than typical fluorescent tubes, extending their lifespan and reducing overall costs.
Which linear high bay lights should I choose?
Depending on the space, different models of linear high bay lights offer different benefits. If you are looking to light a warehouse with 40-foot ceilings, you would want to choose a model with higher lumens and a cooler color temperature to ensure contrast and visibility. If you are lighting a retail store with ceilings of 20-foot height, a lower lumen count and warmer color temperature would be more suitable. Other factors to consider when choosing linear high bays are how many the space needs, how far apart the fixtures will be from each other, bulb lifespan, energy efficiency, and mounting, but needs vary depending on the individual space. At HomElectrical, we offer a wide range of linear high bay options to suit whatever requirements you need met.
How to hang linear high bay lights?
There are many ways you can hang high bay lights, but the most common is by attaching a hanging cable or chain to the hook on the back of the fixture. Linear high bay lights can be installed flush to the ceiling, but in most spaces where high bays are used, such as large warehouses and factories, the open ceilings require a suspended mount.
Are LED linear high bays better than fluorescent?
In terms of power, lifespan, and energy efficiency, LED high bays are better than fluorescents bulbs. LEDs use significantly less power for the same amount of light, and less of their energy is wasted on generating heat, making them more efficient. Fluorescent tubes have a lifespan that is only 10-25% as long as LED linear lights. If you’re considering cost effectiveness and eco-friendliness, LED linear high bays are the way to go to light your facility. Browse HomElectrical’s supply to find your new LED high bays today!
