Industrial UFO LED High Bays: Samsung and Osram Chip at 200lm/W for Industrial Units and Warehouses

Industrial UFO LED high bay lights illuminate industrial units, warehouses and sports halls from great height with low consumption. This range combines Samsung and Osram chips, Philips Xitanium driver and dimming to deliver maximum efficiency in every project.

Why the UFO LED high bay is the standard in industrial lighting

Industrial UFO LED high bay lights concentrate a lot of light in a compact body. Each unit is made of aluminium, which dissipates heat well even when the ambient temperature of the building is high, and the height of an industrial high bay is assessed by the distance between luminaire and floor, which sets the power needed.

The UFO LED high bay for warehouses covers long aisles with uniform light, and the UFO LED high bay for sports halls performs just as well on sports courts. A 1-10V dimmer can be linked to motion sensors to lower the output when nobody is there.

Replacing metal halide and sodium vapour lamps with ROI in 12 to 18 months

Anyone renovating an old industrial unit thinks of a UFO LED high bay to replace metal halide and sodium vapour lamps, because the saving compared with metal halide is noticeable from the first bill. The LED cuts energy consumption and switches on instantly, so a 400W metal halide can be replaced by a 150W high bay using less than half the power.

The return on investment falls between 12 and 18 months in most projects, and with dimming active the payback shortens while the energy saving adds to the lower maintenance cost.

Recommended power and installation height

Mounting height decides the power needed, and a 100W industrial LED high bay for a low building suits a workshop while high-power high bays are kept for high ceilings.

80W to 100W up to 6 metres, 150W up to 9 metres and 200W for great heights

The 150W UFO LED high bay with Samsung chip covers buildings up to 9 metres and is the most requested power in warehouses, while the 200W UFO LED high bay with Osram chip is kept for greater heights where more luminous flux is needed. For an LED high bay for an 8-metre-high building, the right choice is the 150W one.

The Moonlight range lets you choose 120, 160 or 200W in the same luminaire, so a single model adapts to several heights. A pack of UFO LED high bays unifies the reference for the whole project.

Chip and driver make the difference in the long run

The chip defines how much light each watt gives and the driver decides how long the whole unit lasts, so it is worth comparing both data points in the technical data sheets. Also check the LED high bay lifetime in hours declared by the manufacturer and the years of warranty.

The high-efficiency 200lm/W UFO LED high bay delivers more lumens with less contracted power, and the efficiency of 200 lm per watt shows how much light comes out for every watt consumed while luminous efficiency sets the final luminous flux.

Samsung, Osram and Philips Xitanium in the same range

The Samsung 2835 chip reaches 200 lm/W in the CCT series, which offers a beam angle of 60º to 90º and Zhaga plug and play connection. The Osram Duris chip equips the Endurance series, which accepts a 60º reflector, and both series use the 2835 format as light source.

A dimmable Philips Xitanium driver feeds the chip with constant current and allows the luminous flux to be adjusted. The UFO LED high bay with Philips Xitanium driver in the Moonlight range includes 1-10V dimming, and the 1-10V dimmable UFO LED high bay connects to an analogue dimmer, while 1-10V DALI dimming covers the two most widely used control systems.

The industrial LED high bay with CCT combines several colour temperatures in a single luminaire, and the 5000K industrial colour temperature is the most common in industrial buildings because it gives a white, neutral light for visual tasks.

A UFO LED high bay with IP65 for damp buildings withstands dust and splashes thanks to its IP65 protection. The IP65 protection rating in damp areas protects against dust and water jets, and the IP protection is shown on the data sheet.

The price of an industrial LED high bay depends on the power, the chip and the driver, and falls for volume orders, and a certified UFO LED high bay includes a data sheet and the manufacturer's documentation.

Frequently asked questions about industrial UFO LED high bay lights

What power of UFO high bay do I need for an 8-metre building?

For an 8-metre building the usual choice is a 150W high bay, which covers up to 9 metres. If the ceiling has beams or obstacles, it is better to go up to 200W.

Are UFO LED high bay lights dimmable?

Yes, the range with Philips Xitanium driver is dimmed via 1-10V. This way you adjust the output to the use of the building and reduce consumption.

What is the difference between a Samsung chip and an Osram chip in industrial high bays?

Both use the 2835 format. The Samsung series is CCT, reaches 200 lm/W and works with an angle of 60º to 90º, while the Osram Endurance series carries a Duris chip and accepts a 60º reflector.

Do UFO high bays work in buildings with damp or dust?

Yes, IP65 protection prevents dust from entering and withstands water jets. It works in damp or dusty buildings as long as the installation seals the cables properly.

How much do you save by replacing metal halide with UFO LED high bays?

A 150W high bay replaces a 400W metal halide and uses less than half the power. On top of that saving come 1-10V dimming and lower maintenance.

How long does it take to recover the investment in LED high bays?

In most renovation projects the payback falls between 12 and 18 months. It depends on daily hours of use and the cost of energy.
