Option 1: Use a 200W UFO high bay light with a 120-DEGREE beam angle, 1-10V dimming control, and adjustable color temperature. In this warehouse, objects do not need to reach half the height. We achieve interaction between the same luminaires, the walls, and the objects. This way, the entire warehouse becomes a single luminaire with uniform, dimmable lighting and adjustable color temperature.

Option 2: We would use high bay lights again, but this time without dimming or color temperature adjustment.

Option 3: The same concept but with narrower beam angles (60°/90°) for warehouses with high shelving.

This technical explanation is designed for warehouses between 5 and 15 meters in height.

Note: Components must be top quality, such as Philips Xitanium or Inventronics drivers, etc. Flicker-free LEDs with more than 140 lm/W and the best chromatic performance. Guarantees of over 5 years. IP65 rating.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1- Which UFO high bay light should I use for large sewing workshops and textile industry facilities?

Answer:

You can use Option 1, as it will leave significant free height, and the walls should be as white or light-colored as possible to promote 120° light interaction between luminaires and walls, increasing luminous output. The required lux levels help prevent visual fatigue among workers. IMPORTANT: Use high-quality original drivers such as Philips Xitanium, Lifud, Boke, Inventronics, or MeanWell, featuring reliable capacitors and electronics. LEDs can be Lumileds, San'an, Osram, Bridgelux, Cree, etc. With good electronics, the CRI (Color Rendering Index) increases to ensure true color perception, and flicker (invisible to the human eye but a cause of visual fatigue and lack of concentration) disappears. Flicker may appear on cameras or mobile phones as lines or flashing. Light temperature should not exceed 5600 Kelvin to avoid color distortion. It is always recommended to take prior measurements of existing luminaires and plan their usage. Remember that with these luminaires, you can achieve from 1 lux up to more than 3000 lux at the working area (1 meter), depending on requirements.

2- How should I light storage warehouses?

If you follow Option 1, simply adjust the beam angle (60°/90°) according to aisle requirements, height, and the power of the UFO high bay lights. Always consider a color temperature between 4000K and 5600K.

3 - If I want to use this lighting concept for indoor commercial use?

You can find MOONLIGHT 200W, a 2026 innovation, on our website with 1-10V dimming for intensity control, adjustable color temperature (2700K, 4000K, and 5600K), and adjustable power. It is available in white for recessed ceiling installation with a 200mm cut-out.

Targeted at technical departments of companies with retail chains (clothing, vehicles, appliances, furniture, supermarkets), storage facilities, large commercial spaces, installers and designers of electrical and lighting projects, architects, electricians, sales representatives, lighting material procurement managers, and electrical multinationals. In short, anyone who owns, installs, or supplies large warehouse facilities.
