Bay lighting applies to lighting fixtures with high wattage requirements that are typically installed in large areas with high ceilings. Bay lighting is designed to provide bright illumination over a large space when installed in higher ceiling positions, which is why they require a higher power wattage to create the same level of light as that generated by normal ceiling lights in offices and other rooms. High visibility is important, especially when working in warehouses or storage facilities for both the safety of employees and high accuracy when picking items from shelving units. Depending on the height of the space you are lighting, you may require low bay lighting or high bay lighting. We have both fixture heights available in our range of bay lighting products, which features industry-leading brands such as LEDVANCE, Philips Lighting, Sylvania and our own brand RS PRO.

### Do I need low bay or high bay lighting?

The key to distinguishing which bay lighting fixture you require is knowing the height of the area you wish to install the lights into. High bay lights are typically installed in areas with a ceiling height of 20 feet or greater, whereas low bay lights are used for ceiling heights between 12 and 20 feet high.

### Where is bay lighting used?

Bay lighting is used in large indoor spaces, such as sports gymnasiums, warehouses, hangars, factory floors. performance halls and exhibition spaces. Bay lights provide bright illumination for these spaces which could not be achieved with standard lighting. Whether high bay lights or low bay fixtures are used depends on the height of the ceiling.

<p>High bay light fixtures are used in buildings with elevated ceilings to provide well-distributed and uniformed light for open areas. As high bay luminaires are typically so far from the ground level, they are more powerful lights and are often made using LED lights to make them energy efficient. This makes them particularly well-suited to harsher indoor environments, such as manufacturing floors and others where there may be a higher concentration of airborne particulates that could obstruct light or even damage less robust fittings.</p><p>Due to the high level of brightness and instant illumination often required by high bay lighting, LED lighting is a popular format as it can meet these requirements as well as offering companies a high energy efficiency. LED high bay fixtures do not necessarily feature as wide a range of styles as can be found in low bay lighting, with the focus being on functionality to ensure wide and uniform illumination coverage.</p><h2>When are high bay fixtures used?</h2><p>LED high bay lighting is used whenever it is difficult to achieve bright and uniform illumination across wide expanses of floor and space, typically in spaces with a ceiling height of approx. 8 m/20ft up to approx.14m/45ft. They can be configured in a variety of ways in order to best suit the space they are installed in, as well as to avoid spotting or poor uniformity across both horizontal or vertical surfaces.</p><p>Commonly used across industrial and commercial spaces, high bay lighting would typically be found in areas such as hangars, garages, loading bays, industrial facilities, warehouses, factories, and even shopping centres and entertainment venues.</p>
