Lights.com—Low Bay Lighting
Low bay lighting is typically used in industrial applications. They have the same features as high bay lighting but with a different sized enclosed reflector and drop lens. This gives a better spread of light in low ceiling applications.
Low bay lighting typically falls into the category of high-intensity discharge (HID) light sources, such as metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps. This type of lighting has long dominated the market for lighting high ceiling indoor spaces. Low bay means means the spread of light is a different degree.
In recent years, improvements in fluorescent lamps have made fluorescent lighting the most cost-effective choice for lighting high indoor spaces. HID systems are more energy-efficient and feature lower light depreciation rates. The also have better dimming options, virtually instant start-up and restrike, better color rendition, and reduced glare.
Low Bay Lighting Lamps
Low Bay HID lamps produce an intense light in a small area so that they are considered "point sources." They are often installed in fixtures that direct their light using parabolic reflectors. Compared with other lighting installations, an HID installation requires fewer individual fixtures, which means lower installation costs for your
