Taking energy-efficiency to new heights
Specially designed to light large spaces such as warehouses, schools, gymnasiums and large retail stores, energy-efficient high bay fluorescent fixtures are extremely flexible. They use a highly reflective backing to direct light where it’s needed; are modular in nature; offer setups ranging from 2 to 12 lamps; and are available in linear, 4-foot lengths and other shapes to suit the application. Plus, high bay fixtures offer serious advantages over standard metal halide fixtures:

- Energy savings—Linear high bay fluorescent fixtures can help you save up to 50 percent in energy costs. A high bay fixture costs anywhere from $133 to $140 per 4,000 annual operating hours. Standard metal halide technology costs about $275 annually for each 400-watt fixture. At 15 cents per kWh, that’s an estimated savings of up to $142 per fixture, per year.
- Instant on, instant restrike—Fluorescent lights turn on instantly, even after a power interruption, and provide immediate illumination to improve safety and productivity.
- Occupancy sensors and photocells—Generate additional energy savings by pairing a high bay system with occupancy sensor controls that turn lights off when not in use. Plus, take advantage of occupancy sensor rebate programs.
- Consistent light output—Fluorescent lights provide 94 percent of original light output over their rated lamp life. Standard metal halide lamps degrade by almost 35 percent over their life span.
- Enhanced light quality—Fluorescent lamps provide consistent color compared to standard metal halide fixtures that vary in color both initially and over time.
- Improved color—By offering better color rendering, fluorescent lights can make retail displays more attractive, and improve productivity and worker satisfaction in warehouses and manufacturing spaces.
- Better light distribution—Fluorescent lamps are linear in nature and are designed to provide more uniform light and fewer shadows within a specific space.
