Designed to suspend from high ceilings, these round and UFO LED high bay fixtures provide brighter and longer lasting light. Round and UFO LED high bay lights generate very little heat and have no bulbs to replace, saving money on maintenance and cooling costs. Pairing these fixtures with motion sensors ensures the lights are on only when needed to further reduce energy costs. In addition, fixtures meeting DLC and DLC Premium certifications may qualify for local or state rebates.

Round vs UFO High Bay Lights

Round and UFO LED high bay fixtures are essentially the same but with one difference: round LED high bay fixtures come with a reflector. Round LED high bay lights are ideal if you are looking to retain a similar appearance to your existing metal halide fixtures. The durable polycarbonate reflectors direct light in all directions, ensuring that spaces are well lit. UFO LED high bay lights have a more modern appearance, and their smaller size helps save ceiling space. These high bay lights are directional, aiming all of the light output straight down.

Mounting and Accessory Options

Most round and UFO LED high bay light fixtures can be pendant mounted. Some fixtures may also come with an additional hook mount, while others can be surface mounted with a compatible bracket (sold separately).

Some round and UFO high bay lights come with field installable motion sensors or daylight harvesting. These high bay lights reduce energy costs by automatically adjusting light levels based on ambient conditions and occupancy. Some fixtures are "sensor ready", meaning they can be paired with a compatible sensor of your choice that is purchased separately. Additionally, we carry LED emergency backups designed specifically for round and UFO high bay lighting.

Tips for Choosing the Right Round LED High Bay

When choosing lighting fixtures, you should always make sure to compare the lumen output of your current commercial lighting to the high bay lights you are considering. This will help you better match the light output. If your space needs more light than is currently provided, go with round or UFO high bay lights that have a higher lumen output.

The color temperature, or color of the light emitted, can also affect the light output. Fixtures producing a 3500 Kelvin warm white light are a good choice for brightening retail locations. 4000 Kelvin cool white light decreases eye strain, making it a better choice for warehouses where pick accuracy is important. For increased visibility and concentration in manufacturing facilities and sporting arenas, look for UFO LED high bay fixtures emitting a 5000 Kelvin daylight white light.

Know what conditions your fixture is capable of withstanding by checking the ingress protect (IP) and safety ratings. Damp rated fixtures can be used where moisture may be present, while wet rated fixtures can come in direct contact with water. LED round high bays with an IP65 rating, meaning these fixtures are protected against dust entry and water jets. UFO LED high bays that are NSF certified are safe to use in food handling facilities.

They are also typically more compact and lightweight compared to traditional high bay lights, making them easier to install and handle.

How do I choose the right color temperature for round and UFO high bay lights?

  • The color temperature of round and UFO LED high bay lights affects the perceived warmth or coolness of the light. Cooler temperatures (5000K-6500K) are recommended for industrial settings to improve visibility and task performance, while warmer temperatures (3000K-4000K) create a more inviting ambiance in commercial spaces like retail stores.

What ratings and certifications should I look for in round and UFO high bay lights?

  • Look for round and UFO high bay lights with certifications like DLC (DesignLights Consortium), UL (Underwriters Laboratories), and IP (Ingress Protection) ratings for wet or damp locations. These certifications ensure the fixtures meet industry standards for energy efficiency, safety, and durability in various environments. Round and UFO high bay lights that are DLC listed may also qualify for local or state rebates, providing you additional savings.

Are there specific maintenance requirements or considerations for round and UFO LED high bay lights?

  • Round and UFO high bay light fixtures require minimal maintenance compared to traditional lighting options. However, it's advisable to periodically clean the fixtures and remove any accumulated dust or debris to ensure optimal performance.
