Whether you participate in DIY projects, own a small business, or handle a huge space, it is imperative to have appropriate lighting in every workshop. Of all the lighting options available, high bay LED lights are preferred because they are efficient, rugged, and provide adequate brightness. But how do you choose the correct lights for your workshop given the numerous options available?
This article will guide you through five crucial points when looking for high bay led lighting and specific lighting systems, including, but not limited to, Hyperlite’s Hero Series, Saturn Series, Radar Series, and Will Series.
- Determine Your Lighting Requirements
It is wise to look at a few factors that characterize your workshop before beginning to shop. Such factors include:
- Ceiling Height: High bay lights are ideal for larger areas measuring in excess of 12 feet, and they promote low-angle shadows for even and accent lighting.
- Brightness Requirements: The level of brightness is quantified in lumens, and depending on the area of your workshop, 10,000 to 50,000 lumens or even more may be sufficient.
Recommendation:
For high-ceiling shops that necessitate a lot of bright and focused light, the Hero Series High Bay led Lights is a great option. The Hero Series High Bay Lights have been designed for areas that require significant lighting as they have excellent lumen outputs alongside a wide beam angle. The hero series is loved by customers for its super strong light and durability, and it has been ranked first in the sales list for many years, which is the best proof of this.
- Do Not Skip on Energy Efficiency
Lighting can be a serious component of energy bills, especially for regions that operate their workshop for long durations. High bay LED lights are extremely energy efficient as they use up to 75% less electricity than older lighting such as metal halide or fluorescent lamps. Always look at the lumen efficiency as that determines the brightest light you can achieve with the least power consumption.
Recommendation:
Saturn Series High Bay Lights have some impressive qualities, and among them is their energy efficiency. Given the cost-saving nature of the spherical Roller or Shield, the Saturn Bright series is greatly valued. It also has a variety of adaptable brackets to suit a variety of installation conditions.
- Selecting the Correct Colour Temperature
Color temperature not only the ambiance of your workshop but also its utility. Depending on whether the light appears warm, neutral, or cool, it is measured on temperatures in Kelvin (K):
- 3000K-4000K: Warm light, ideal for more informal or relaxing environments.
- 4000K-5000K: Neutral luminance, capable of standard finishes.
- 5000K-6500K: Turbo light, mostly for high-precision tasks that require great visual detail.
To improve productivity in workshops, a color temperature between 5000K and 6000K is preferred in high bay lights as it imitates daylight and helps improve focus.
Recommendation:
If you want an adjustable lighting feature in your workshop, then you should consider The Radar Series High Bay Lights, as it has the option to change the color temperature of the light according to your preference or the task at hand.It is also equipped with a motion seneor function to save power to the greatest extent.
- Durability and Lifespan
Lighting fixtures in workshops are usually surrounded by dust, and exposed to vibrations and even temperature changes. Because of such exposure, it is better to use high bay lights that are rugged and durable.
- IP Ratings: Utilizing fixtures that are IP 65 ensures that your lights last longer as they will be resistant to moisture and dust.
- High-Quality Materials: Aluminium casings along with shatter-resistant lenses add to the protection.
- Long Lifespan: Long-lasting lights reduce the cost of maintenance. For example, LED lights last for more than 50000 hours.
Recommendation:
If you are in the market for lights that last long in rugged conditions, then we recommend The Will Series High Bay led Lights. They have a sturdy build and can easily last long even when used in a workshop.
- Ease of Installation
By installing easy-to-maintain features, you can save time and effort in the long run. Some features to look for are:
- Lightweight Design: If the design is lightweight, installation of ceiling-mounted fixtures becomes easier.
- Dimmable Options: Depending on the situation at hand, you can adjust the brightness accordingly.
- Smart Controls: Some light fixtures come with sensors or motion controls that do not require manual switching of the light.
Recommendation:
There are Hero Series High Bay Lights with sensor control and dimmable options which make them easy to use and flexible.
Other Considerations While Choosing Lights For The Workshop
- Lighting Surface: Focus on the reflectivity of your ceiling and walls: if they are lighter, they will increase your lights’ effective functioning.
- Lighting Spacing: Combine high bay lights and task lighting to reduce any shadowing and guarantee proper light diffusion.
- Accreditation: Select lights that contain accreditations such as UL/DLC.
Why Use High Bay LED Lights?
There are many pros that high bay LED lights provide for workshop owners including
- Reduced Costs: Cut down on energy usage as well as maintenance expenditure.
- Enhanced Light Quality: Better light improves visibility and increases output.
- Less Impact on the Environment: LEDs do not contain mercury and hence do not have as great an environmental impact as traditional bulbs.
Conclusion
There is no need to stress out over choosing high-bay LED lights for your workshop. Some key factors that should help you decide which lights to choose include brightness, energy efficiency, color temperature, etc. This range of Hyperlite high bay lights gives you unlimited lighting options to ensure that your workshop becomes the ideal space for performing specialized tasks.
