Industrial LED Lighting Fixtures for Optimal Performance

Industrial lighting has to cover large spaces, run long hours, and survive the environment it sits in. A 40-foot warehouse ceiling, a wash-down area and a hazardous location each need a different fixture, and specifying on wattage alone is how facilities end up with dark aisles and early failures. We stock high bay, low bay, strip, vapor tight, explosion proof and portable lighting for industrial and commercial facilities, with free photometric layouts if you want light levels modeled before you order.

Why Specify From Us

Energy efficiency — LED replaces metal halide at roughly a quarter to a third of the wattage. Where fixtures run every shift, that is where the savings are.
Durability — wet location, vapor tight and hazardous location ratings for environments that destroy standard fixtures.
Range — high bay through low bay, strip, shop and portable lighting, so one supplier covers the whole facility.
Layout support — free photometric layouts and spec assistance, with no obligation.

WareLight, Our Own Brand

WareLight is our own line, which means we control the specification, the pricing and the stock. That lets us:

Supply premium, builder-grade fixtures at prices that hold up against comparable brands.
Keep stock on the shelf through our own replenishment, so in-stock WareLight orders ship the same day.
Cover a wide range of applications from a single line — high bay, vapor tight, strip, linear, flood and area.

Not sure which fixture suits your space? Our team will model light levels for your actual layout at no cost, or talk through options if you already know what you need. Request a free lighting layout or contact us to speak with a lighting specialist.

Warehouse and Industrial Lighting

Industrial lighting affects how well people work and how safely they do it. Low light levels cause eye strain over a shift, and dark aisles and shadowed work areas are where accidents happen. Getting levels and uniformity right is a safety measure as much as a comfort one.

Most industrial retrofits now go to LED, and we stock LED high bay lights alongside T5 and T8 fluorescent for facilities not ready to convert. If you are replacing metal halide, expect to need far less wattage than the fixture you are removing.

High Bay and Low Bay Industrial Light Fixtures

High bay and low bay fixtures come in linear, UFO and compact formats. Linear suits racking, where light needs to reach down between aisles rather than spread out. UFO suits open floor. Low bay covers ceilings under roughly 20 feet, where a high bay creates glare rather than coverage.

Most are now LED with selectable wattage and CCT, which lets one part number cover several areas and leaves room to tune after install. T5 and T8 fluorescent remain available where an existing installation is being matched.

Industrial Strip Lighting

Strip lighting gives even coverage in 4 ft and 8 ft lengths without the bulk of a high bay, which suits lower ceilings, aisles and areas where fixtures sit close to the work. Shorter lengths handle tight spaces. LED strip is the standard choice now; T8 and T5HO remain available for matching existing runs.

Vapor Tight Lights

Vapor tight fixtures are sealed against moisture and dust, which makes them the right choice for wash-down areas, cold storage, parking structures and any space where a standard fixture would fail. Check the IP rating against the conditions: IP65 handles splash and hosing, IP66 is rated for direct high-pressure jets.

Shop Lights

Shop lights cover high bays, low bays and strip fixtures used in workshops and service areas. The right choice depends on ceiling height, the light spread you need and how the fixture will be mounted. We carry the brands contractors specify, alongside our own WareLight range.

Hazardous & Explosion Proof Lights

Hazardous location fixtures are specified where flammable vapor, gas or dust may be present — paint booths, fuel handling, chemical processing, grain handling. Class and Division determine what you can install, and the booth or facility documentation and your AHJ set the classification. Do not spec off a general rule.

Portable and Construction Lighting

Temporary and portable lighting covers jobsites, maintenance work and any area that needs light before permanent fixtures go in. Our range of portable and construction lights includes stand-mounted, hand-held and string options built for rough handling.

Industrial Ceiling Fans

High-volume industrial ceiling fans move air through large spaces, which helps with both comfort and fume extraction. Available in a range of diameters and mounting options to suit ceiling height and span.

Retrofit Kits and Clearance

Retrofit kits convert an existing fixture to LED without replacing the housing, which keeps labor and disposal costs down where the fixture body is sound. Our clearance range carries discontinued and overstock fixtures at reduced prices.
