High Bay Lighting – Staying Energy-Efficient With LED

As a lot of people become more aware about the possible effects of light to our environment, LED high bay lighting has also grown popular over the years. Because it is generally cheaper to operate and can less carbon emissions, it is considered to be one of the first steps to protect the environment. It is not a surprise that you might also consider putting LED lights to your high ceilings.

High bay lights are used in indoor places with ceilings of more than 15 feet. They are commonly used in gyms, hangars and in warehouses – the places where there are very high ceilings. Lights in such places are very hard to change.

There are quite lots of reasons why you should think about using LED. First of all, LED has quite a long lifespan. It lasts around ten times longer than compact fluorescent light. It takes you away from your constant light changes from time to time. With LED, you need not buy replacement lights and change them like the way you did. You just have to use it, and do not mind them for a long time.

With high bay lighting, this can be very advantageous because then those high ceilings will not have to be reached. LED lets them lessen the number of the times that they need to be changed. This is very good news to your maintenance team, as well as for the maintenance costs.

LED is also very energy efficient, making them very popular in households and industrial places. LED just uses around two to ten watts – about 66% less than your typical incandescent bulb. Most of the times, LED usage in terms of electricity even goes lower. And since it uses less energy, you can also save more money.

Although LED bulbs cost much more, you can get to save more in time. They do not have filaments, which make them even more durable and resistant to accidents. With this, they get to be even more ideal as high bay lighting. You may spend more in the first place, but you get so much in return.

As high bay lighting solutions, LED can give your savings not just because they use less energy, but also since they do not heat up like other bulbs. This makes your air conditioning expenses even less because you do not need to put air conditioning units on high. Because of this, your operating costs and maintenance earn even lower than the usual, too.

My very first job in 1990 was with the Street Lighting Division for my local power company as an Electrical Engineering Student Co-Op..... I guess you can say, in the almost 30 years of business experience, I have seen a lot of changes. However, I believe the changes we are currently witnessing now and the pace of technology advancements in the lighting industry, will be the most exciting time period yet.
