Aries G6 LED UFO High Bay, 36,000 Lumen Max, Wattage and CCT Selectable, Black Finish, Comparable to 750-1000 Watt HID Fixture, 120-277V

Who This Fixture Is For

The Aries G6 240W UFO High Bay is for facility managers, electrical contractors, and lighting designers handling high-bay retrofits or new installations in large industrial and commercial spaces. The 36,000 lumen maximum output and 750-1000W HID comparable positioning make it the right size for spaces where smaller high bays fall short: wide warehouse floors, manufacturing bays, aircraft hangars, and large-format retail interiors. Three selectable wattage levels, a 3-in-1 optic with field-selectable beam angle, and a sensor-ready platform give a single SKU enough configurability to cover different installation conditions. It's particularly suited for:

• Warehouse and distribution centers replacing 750-1000W metal halide or high-pressure sodium fixtures
• Manufacturing and production floors with high ceiling clearances
• Aircraft hangars and large assembly buildings
• Big-box retail and large grocery store interiors
• Gyms and sports facilities with high ceilings 
  

Major Benefits

At 150 lumens per watt and up to 36,000 lumens from a single fixture, the Aries G6 240W delivers the output needed for large industrial spaces at an efficiency level that makes the HID replacement case straightforward. Selectable beam angles, wattage settings, and CCT options built into a single SKU mean the fixture can be configured to mounting conditions on site, eliminating the need for a different product for each scenario.  

150 LM/W Efficacy Across All Three Wattage Settings

The G6 maintains 150 lumens per watt at each of its three wattage levels. For a facility replacing 750W or 1000W HID fixtures throughout a large warehouse, this typically translates to a 70-78% reduction in system wattage per fixture. The consistent efficacy across settings also means choosing a lower wattage to reduce output does not come at the cost of efficiency.

Selectable Beam Angle: 60°, 80°, and 100°

The 3-in-1 optic allows the installer to select from 60°, 80°, or 100° beam distributions without swapping hardware. Narrower angles concentrate output for very high ceilings or tall, narrow aisles. Wider angles spread light across broader floor areas at lower mounting heights. Having all three options in one fixture reduces risk on projects where exact ceiling heights or row spacings may not be confirmed until installation is underway.

Sensor-Ready Platform With Gateway-Free Controls

The G6 accepts add-on sensors without modifying the fixture body, including a PIR sensor, microwave sensor, and WareSense Blue Bluetooth motion sensor (each sold separately). WareSense Blue is a gateway-free wireless controls system that handles both occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting using Bluetooth technology, with each device relaying signals to the next to extend network range across large facilities. This design accommodates projects where controls are part of the energy strategy but haven't been fully scoped at the time of fixture procurement, since sensors can be added after the fixture is installed.

IP65 Rating and Extreme Temperature Range

The IP65 rating confirms that the housing is fully dust-tight and protected against water jets, which is important in manufacturing and processing environments where cleaning operations or production processes introduce airborne particles or moisture. The operating temperature range of -40°C to +50°C (-40°F to +122°F) covers everything from cold storage facilities and unheated industrial buildings to hot process environments, without requiring a separate product for each condition.

UFO High Bay: Frequently Asked Questions 

What is a UFO high bay light, and when is it the right choice for industrial or commercial spaces?

A UFO high bay gets its name from the circular, disc-shaped housing. Unlike linear high bays (elongated strip fixtures), UFO high bays deliver high-lumen output from a single compact point source in a circular distribution pattern, making them ideal for mounting heights above 15 feet where you need concentrated output with a simple, fast installation. The Aries G6 LED UFO high bay delivers 36,000 lumens at 240W, comparable to a 750- to 1,000-watt HID fixture while using a fraction of the energy. In warehouses, manufacturing floors, distribution centers, aircraft hangars, and gymnasiums, industrial high bay LED lights in the UFO format handle these demanding applications without the warm-up time, maintenance burden, or energy waste of legacy HID systems. Linear high bays are generally a better fit for lower-ceiling applications under 15 feet, or for lighting long, narrow aisles with tightly controlled distribution.

How do T5 fluorescent high bays compare to the Aries G6 LED UFO high bay?

T5 high bays were a meaningful upgrade over metal halides in their time, but they fall short of LEDs in several practical ways. A typical T5HO multi-lamp high bay runs four to six lamps at around 54 watts each, putting total fixture wattage between 216W and 324W while producing lumen outputs in the 18,000 to 26,000 range. The Aries G6 at its 240W setting delivers 36,000 lumens, higher output at comparable or lower wattage. T5 lamps also lose meaningful output in cold environments, a known issue in unheated warehouses and industrial spaces during winter months, while LED technology doesn't share that limitation. T5 fixtures require periodic lamp and ballast replacement; the Aries G6 carries a 50,000-hour rated life and a 5-year warranty. DLC Premium certification on the Aries G6 also makes it eligible for utility rebates that typically don't apply to fluorescent systems, which can offset a meaningful portion of the retrofit cost.

How do I choose the right beam angle for a UFO high bay?

Beam angle is one of the most commonly overlooked decisions in high bay lighting, and the Aries G6 makes it straightforward with its 3-in-1 optic system: 60°, 80°, or 100°. A 60° beam concentrates light in a tighter cone directly below the fixture, making it the right choice at mounting heights of 30 feet and above, where intensity at floor level is the primary concern. An 80° beam balances intensity and coverage area and is the most common selection for mounting heights between 20 and 30 feet, which covers the majority of warehouse and industrial applications. A 100° beam spreads light more broadly and works well at lower mounting heights, generally under 20 feet, or in spaces where you want softer, more even illumination across a wider footprint. For most standard warehouse applications in the 20- to 25-foot range, 80° is the natural starting point.

Do I need a reflector on the Aries G6 LED UFO high bay, and which one should I choose?

The reflector is optional, and for many standard warehouse and industrial applications, the bare fixture performs well. Adding a reflector makes the most sense when you need to maximize foot-candle levels on the floor or reduce glare. The aluminum reflector is the most practical starting point: it redirects light that would otherwise scatter upward or sideways back down toward the work surface, increasing effective output without adding wattage. The prismatic reflector does the same but also diffuses the light, softening the appearance of the source and reducing direct glare. For spaces where workers frequently look up at fixtures, such as assembly lines, gymnasiums, or aircraft hangars, the prismatic option noticeably improves visual comfort. The prismatic with a conical lens provides the most controlled distribution and maximum glare reduction, suited for settings with strict visual comfort requirements. If you're looking for the most cost-effective efficiency gain, the aluminum reflector delivers a solid return at the lowest add-on cost.
