High-ceiling scenarios, such as those found in airports, convention halls, and shopping malls, require fixtures that offer high-output illumination without casting shadows or leaving dark spots on the areas below. These five lighting options for high-bay applications provide even doses of bright light where needed.
6,000 Lumen LMH2 LED Module, Cree
Cree’s 6,000-lumen, LMH2 LED module is designed to replace 100W ceramic metal halide lamps in high-ceiling applications while using 30% less power, the company says. It offers 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K at a CRI of 90-plus and an efficacy of 85 lumens per watt. The module joins the LMH2 product family, which spans outputs of 850 lumens to 6,000 lumens and includes DALI touch-dimming drivers. cree.com
Lunabay Series, Hubbell Industrial Lighting
Hubbell’s Lunabay Series is a pendant-mounted, 126W high-bay luminaire powered by four universal 120V to 277V LED drivers that delivers up to 12,326 lumens at 5000K with a CRI of 68. It is also available in 2700K, 3000K, 3500K, and 4000K. The fixture’s optical system mixes 56 LEDs to produce low-glare illumination. A 22”-diameter acrylic reflector adds an uplight, while an extruded aluminum thermal chimney allows the fixture to operate in -40 C to 40 C environments. The fixture’s top cylinder can be painted in black, bronze, grey, forest green, platinum silver, red, white, and custom hues. The fixture also includes on/off control and a wire guard, and it is zero-to-10V dimmable. CSA damp location listed. hubbellindustrial.com
MegaLum Downlight, Prescolite
This high-lumen, 8”-diameter recessed 168W LED downlight delivers up to 12,780 lumens, making it an alternative for T4 quartz, metal halide, and induction sources in applications with ceiling heights ranging from 40’ to 60’. The 480-chip LED array provides 2700K, 3000K, 35000K, 4000K, and 5000K with a CRI of 80-plus while reflectors offer 25-, 35-, 45-, or 55-degree optical distributions. Lumen outputs of 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, and 12,000 are available, with standard zero-to-10V dimming drivers. The luminaire syncs with Hubbell Lighting’s Wi-HUBB control system. Its spun and anodized reflectors can be replaced in the field. prescolite.com
MegaLum Cylinder, Prescolite
For high-ceiling commercial and architectural interiors that lack recessed depth, Prescolite’s MegaLum Cylinder offers more than 12,000 lumens from a 10”-diameter cylinder using 168W. A tube surrounding the fixture’s external housing can be lowered and two side screws loosened to access the drivers and wiring. Lumen packages of 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, and 12,000 are offered, as are five color temperatures—2700K, 3000K, 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K. The fixture uses up to 480 LEDs to provide a minimum CRI of 80, and it offers beam angles of 25-, 35-, 45-, and 55 degrees. Surface-, cable-, and pendant-mounted versions come standard with zero-to-10V dimming. prescolite.com
Whiz Series, Meteor LED
Meteor LED grows its Whiz Series of commercial lighting with the addition of a 300W, high-bay fixture that offers 27,000 lumens from a compact and versatile housing. A proprietary heat sink and non-toxic radiation heat dissipation coating improves the die-cast aluminum fixture’s thermal convection process by 30% compared with peer products, the company says. Custom mounting allows two of the 300W fixtures to be attached to a single bracket, doubling the lumen output of an installation. It is UL Wet Location listed for intrusion and moisture protection and is IP65-rated. meteor-lighting.com
