The power of LED lighting comes with its focus on energy-efficient, superior lighting. They provide a higher quality illumination day in and day out at a lower cost than traditional bulbs. LED high bay lights are specialized industrial shop lights designed to illuminate large areas with high ceilings. The lights create powerful illumination at a long range and are made to enhance visibility and focus light more directly than traditional incandescent fixtures. This makes high bay lighting perfect for commercial and industrial applications, such as warehouses and retail stores with larger areas and taller ceilings.
High bay LED lights are a better investment than traditional fluorescent, induction or metal halide lights because they offer extremely long life and energy efficiency. While there are many options when it comes to installing high bay lighting in your building, choosing LED technology will give you a better experience at a reduced cost.

Select ProductTypes of High Bay LED Lights
There are several types of fixtures available for high bay LED lights, These include architectural high bays and grid-mount high bays that each offer different light qualities and coverage styles. Each type of high bay lighting fixture offers different light qualities and coverage styles:
- Round (UFO) - Easy to install and a strong, manageable beam angle
- Linear - Best for dark, narrow hallways because they offer a broad beam angle without appearing like a spotlight
- Vapor Tight - Keep out moisture and dust and are UL Wet Location compliant
High bay LED lights provide clear, uniform illumination of what is below it with little glare. Different kinds of reflectors can accomplish different kinds of lighting results, also. Aluminum reflectors make light from the fixtures flow directly down to the floor, while prismatic reflectors create a more diffused lighting useful for illuminating shelves and other elevated objects in a space.
If you currently have fluorescent high bays and aren't ready to replace the fixtures, retrofit kits are available so you can achieve the benefits associated with LED high bay lights without a total overhaul of your lighting system.
FAQs About High Bay Lights
LED high bay lights have a reputation for excellence due to years of innovation and quality designs which enable them to outperform competing non-LED models. Many features separate LED shop lights from traditional models, but not all LED high bay lights are created equal. To ensure accurate and exceptional energy ratings, look for DLC certification.
Learn more about incorporating LED high bay lighting into your illumination plan with the following answers to common questions. If you need more information, you can review our High Bay Lights Buying Guide or reach out to our customer service team — we're here to help!
What are High Bay LED Lights?
High bay LED lights are used to illuminate spaces with high ceilings. That usually means ceilings ranging from 20 feet to approximately 45 feet. Low-bay lights, on the other hand, are used for ceilings 20 feet and under. Because a high-ceiling location has more space to fill, a high bay light by definition is a powerful light source that can brighten up a large area.
Should You Use Lighting Controls With High Bay LED Lights?
While high bay LED lights are energy-efficient, directly installing them to your ceilings without lighting controls can be incredibly wasteful. Lighting automation controls, such as motion sensors, dusk to dawn photocells, and dimmers, are the perfect addition to your lighting system because they not only reduce your costs but also make the system easier to use. High bay lighting controls allow you to quickly start or shut off the fixtures, and using high bay occupancy sensors can also prevent accidental light usage when the facility is closed. Additionally, having a set of controls with your system allows you to dim the lights to a more energy-saving brightness.
Where is LED High Bay Lighting Used?
Given their placement, high bay led lights are natural fits for commercial and industrial uses. Industrial shop lights can be used for both commercial and residential operations. High bay LED lights are appropriate for diverse applications such as:
- Auto Body Shop LIghting
- Garage Lighting
- Basement Lighting
- Welding Shop Lighting
- Warehouses
- Grocery Stores
- Dance Studios
- Workshops
- Machine Shops
- Commercial Lighting
- Factory Lighting
- Retail Locations
- Gymnasiums
- Airport Lighting
LED high bay lights have multiple applications across a range of industries because they are excellent for illuminating any place that needs lighting from an elevation of more than 20 feet. They are even used in hangars and other large, cavernous buildings because of their ability to add quality illumination at a low cost.
How Many High Bay LED Lights Do I Need?
The number of high bay fixtures needed is determined by the:
- Size of the space
- Ceiling height
- Building usage
For a ceiling height of 10 feet or lower, we recommend high bay LED lights that are around 100 watts and deliver 10000-12000 lumens. For ceiling heights of between 10-19 feet, high bay lights in the 125-175 watt (12000-21000 lumens) range are most commonly used.
As the ceiling height increases, the wattage and the lumen output should also increase:
- 20-30 feet = 200-300 watt (22000-35000 lumens)
- 31-40 feet = 300-400 watt (35000-47000 lumens)
- 40+ feet = 400+ watt (47000+ lumens)
Recommended spacing for LED high bay lights are as follows:
- 10-foot ceiling — 12-15 feet apart
- 20-foot ceiling — 15-19 feet apart
- 30-foot ceiling — 19-29 feet apart
- 40-foot ceiling — 30-40 feet apart
However, the dimensions of the room or building you are lighting and its use will ultimately determine how many high bay LED lights are required.
Why Is Cross-Over Lighting Important?
It's essential to use proper spacing when installing high bay LED lights in your facility to avoid wasting energy by making one area too bright and another too dark. Cross-over lighting involves placing fixtures in different locations (ideally three or more) to achieve more uniform illumination. Lighting from multiple angles prevents hot spots and greatly minimizes shadows in the facility.
