When purchasing LED high bay lights, there are some tips as below,
1. Clarify usage requirements
Lighting environment: Determine the required illuminance based on the area, height and nature of the work of the usage site (such as workshops, warehouses, mines, etc.). For example, the recommended illuminance for workshops is 200-300 lux, while for warehouses it is 100-300 lux.
Special environmental requirements: In humid, dusty or high-temperature environments, choose lamps that are waterproof, dustproof or heat-resistant.
2. Key performance parameters of led high bay lights
Brightness and luminous flux: Select the appropriate lumen value; the higher the lumen, the stronger the brightness. For example, for mining operations, lamps with a luminous flux of over 10,000 lumens can be chosen.
Power: Choose the appropriate power based on actual needs to avoid being too large or too small. Generally speaking, a 1W LED chip can produce about 130 to 160 lumens of light output.
Luminous efficacy: Luminous efficacy is an important indicator for evaluating the performance of lamps. It is recommended to choose products with a luminous efficacy of over 120lm/W.
Color rendering index (CRI): The higher the CRI, the more accurately the color of objects is reproduced. It is recommended to choose lamps with a CRI of 80 or above.
Color temperature: Generally, it is recommended to choose a color temperature between 4000K and 6000K. This color temperature range of light is closer to natural light and is suitable for most industrial environments.
Protection grade: Choose lamps with a protection grade of IP65 or above to effectively prevent the invasion of dust and moisture.
3. Heat dissipation and power supply performance of led high bay lights
Heat dissipation performance: Good heat dissipation can extend the lifespan of the lamp, especially in high-temperature environments. It is recommended to choose lamps with good heat dissipation performance.
Power supply performance: Choose high-quality power supplies, such as Meanwell, Lifud, Sosen, Moso, Fuso, etc. Their power factor can reach over 0.95, and the conversion efficiency exceeds 90%.
4. Cost performance and after-sales service
Cost performance: Do not overly pursue low-priced products, as you get what you pay for. It is advisable to choose products that balance quality and cost at a reasonable price.
After-sales service: Ensure that the product warranty period is no less than three years and select suppliers with a complete after-sales service system.
5. Other considerations for led high bay lights
Installation height and spacing: Choose the installation spacing reasonably based on the power of the lamp and the height of the usage site.
Glare issue: Select lamps with anti-glare design to enhance the comfort of the working environment.
Smart control function: If necessary, choose lamps with dimming systems or sensors to achieve energy-saving management.
By comprehensively considering the above factors, you can select suitable LED high bay lights that not only meet the lighting requirements but also achieve energy conservation and cost control.
