Clear answer, explained.

UFO high bay LEDs – Compact, round fixtures ideal for open areas with high ceilings, offering strong, focused light distribution Linear high bay LEDs – Rectangular fixtures suited for aisles, racking systems, and production lines IP-rated or hazardous-rated fixtures – Designed for environments with dust, moisture, or explosive risks Lighting design must consider beam angles, mounting height, lux requirements, and uniformity to ensure safe and efficient operations.


Key points

What this means in practice.

  • UFO high bays for open industrial spaces
  • Linear high bays for aisles and structured layouts
  • IP65+ or hazardous-rated fixtures for harsh environments
  • Designed for ceilings typically 6–15+ metres
  • High lumen output for safety and visibility
  • Beam angle selection critical for performance

When this applies

Best-fit environments.

  • Warehouses and distribution centres
  • Manufacturing and production facilities
  • Logistics hubs and storage areas
  • Industrial buildings with high ceilings
