High Bay LED Bulbs
What Are LED High Bay Replacement Bulbs?
Eliminate the need to replace entire HID or fluorescent fixtures with LED high bay bulbs designed for direct installation into existing setups. These low-maintenance, energy-efficient high bay LED bulbs enhance visibility and safety in industrial and commercial spaces.
Available in a variety of wattages, base types, color temperatures (CCTs), and lumen outputs, these bulbs make it easy to find the ideal replacement. They are also environmentally friendly by significantly reducing energy consumption and utility costs. Backed by a 5-year warranty, these bulbs deliver reliable, long-lasting performance and superior lighting.
Retrofit High Bay LED Bulbs
Retrofit high bay LED bulbs are designed to be installed into existing metal-halide fixtures commonly used in warehouses, gymnasiums, and manufacturing facilities. With their round, compact design, they mimic traditional HID bulbs while providing the efficiency and longevity of LED technology.
-
Energy Efficiency: Replacing outdated HID bulbs with high bay LED retrofit bulbs can reduce energy consumption by up to 75%.
-
Enhanced Lifespan: These bulbs typically last 50,000+ hours, reducing maintenance costs and the need for frequent replacements.
-
Optimal Light Output: Available in various lumen outputs to ensure powerful, uniform lighting for high-ceiling applications.
-
Versatility: Choose from different wattages and CCT options to match the specific needs of your space.
Linear High Bay LED Replacement Bulbs
Linear high bay LED replacement bulbs are ideal for applications requiring broader, more uniform light distribution, such as retail stores, production facilities, and large storage spaces. We offer both T8 and T5 LED tubes to retrofit traditional fluorescent linear high bays. T8 and T5 tubes are available in multiple types: A, B, and A+B/Hybrid.
-
Wide Beam Angles: Perfect for illuminating large, open areas with minimal shadows.
-
Cost-Effective Upgrades: These bulbs can fit into existing fluorescent linear fixtures, reducing installation costs.
-
Customizable Options: Available in multiple sizes, wattages, and color temperatures to meet specific requirements.
-
Improved Efficiency: Lower wattage options provide the same brightness as fluorescent counterparts with significantly less energy use.
Optional LED High Bay Bulb Features
Selectable CCT
Selectable Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) allows users to customize the lighting to match their specific needs and preferences. These adjustable bulbs typically range from warm white (2700K) to create a welcoming environment to cool daylight (5000K or higher) for tasks requiring focus and visibility. This versatility makes them ideal for various applications, such as residential spaces, retail environments, offices, or healthcare settings. For example, warm lighting works well in high-end restaurants, bars, movie theaters. hotel lobbies, and other low-light commercial spaces, while cool lighting is preferred for warehouses, workspaces, garages, break rooms, etc. Selectable CCT fixtures often include easy-to-use switches to choose the desired color temperature for the space.
Sensors
Integrated and optional sensors provide advanced functionality to lighting systems by enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs. Motion sensors detect movement and automatically turn lights on or off, making them ideal for areas with intermittent usage, such as stairwells, restrooms, or storage rooms.
Daylight harvesting sensors measure natural light levels and adjust artificial lighting to maintain consistent illumination, saving energy during daylight hours. Combining these sensor technologies can significantly extend the lifespan of LED bulbs while reducing maintenance costs and carbon footprints. These features are particularly beneficial in commercial and industrial settings, where energy efficiency and automation are priorities.
Some sensors are remote-controlled and allow users to adjust brightness, color temperature, and preset modes without rewiring or additional switches, enhancing convenience and flexibility. Features like dimming, programmable schedules, and smart home integration enable customized lighting scenes ideal for commercial, hospitality, and industrial spaces.
How Do I Install LED High Bay Bulbs?
Installing LED high bay bulbs involves several straightforward steps, but it's important to prioritize safety and ensure compatibility between your LED bulb and the fixture. Below is a high level overview of the process for installing LED high bay replacement bulbs.
1. Ensure Compatibility
-
Check the Base Type: Verify that the LED bulb's base matches the fixture's socket (e.g., E26, E39, or EX39 mogul base).
-
Verify Wattage and Voltage: Ensure the LED high bay bulb has the proper metal halide equivalent wattage.
2. Prepare for Installation
-
Turn Off Power: Turn off the power to the fixture at the circuit breaker to avoid electrical hazards.
-
Gather Tools: Common tools include a screwdriver, wire connectors, and possibly a ladder for high installations.
-
Clean the Fixture: Remove any dust or debris from the fixture to ensure proper heat dissipation.
3. Remove the Old Bulb
4. Bypass the Ballast
-
Disconnect or remove the ballast from the fixture.
5. Install the LED Bulb
-
Inspect the Socket: Ensure the socket is in good condition and free of debris.
-
Screw in the LED Bulb: Align the base with the socket and twist it clockwise until it’s snug.
-
Adjust the Orientation (if needed): Some LED high bay bulbs are directional. Adjust the bulb to ensure proper light distribution.
6. Test the Installation
-
Restore Power: Turn the circuit breaker back on.
-
Test the Light: Flip the switch to verify the bulb works correctly. If it doesn’t light up, recheck connections or ensure compatibility.
Maintenance Tips for LED High Bay Bulbs
-
Periodically clean the bulbs and fixtures to maintain brightness and efficiency.
-
Ensure the fixture’s environment doesn’t exceed the LED bulb’s operating temperature range.
By following these steps, you can easily install LED high bay bulbs, enhance energy efficiency, and improve lighting in your space.
