Common Questions About Linear LED High Bay Lights
Where Are Linear High Bay Lights Used?
Linear LED high bay lights are designed for large, high-ceiling spaces that require bright, uniform lighting. Common applications include:
Their slim, elongated design spreads light more evenly than round UFO-style high bays, making them ideal for long aisles or wide-open spaces.
How Many Linear High Bays Would I Need?
The number of linear high bay LED lights you need depends on:
- Room size: Larger spaces need more lights.
- Ceiling height: Higher ceilings may require brighter or more fixtures.
- Light brightness: Check the lumen output of each light to ensure proper coverage.
- Purpose of the space: Open areas will require different spacing than aisles or workbenches.
A general rule is to space the lights 10–20 feet apart, but a lighting specialist can help calculate the exact number based on your actual space. ELEDLights provides high bay lighting layouts free of charge—request yours here.

Learn More: Linear high bay LED lights are an energy-efficient solution for high ceiling applications, such as warehouses. They have a rectangular shape and are equipped with the latest LED technology to reduce overhead costs when replacing older, traditional lighting fixtures, such as T8, T12, and T5 fluorescent lighting.
Where to Use Linear LED High Bay Lights
Linear high bay LED lighting offers a high level of lumen output, so it is a great option for large spaces with a lot of distance between ceiling and floor. Given their utilitarian style and resistance to moisture, dust, and impact, linear LED high bay lights are often installed in industrial or commercial locations. Common applications include warehouses, factories, manufacturing spaces, aircraft hangars, fitness centers, retail locations, and large recreational facilities.
Features of Linear LED High Bay Lights
- High Lumen Output: Linear LED high bay lights provide high brightness, making them suitable for spaces with ceilings.
- Energy Efficiency: LED technology ensures significant energy savings compared to traditional linear high bay lighting solutions, reducing operating costs.
- Long Lifespan: LED lights have an exceptionally long lifespan, lowering maintenance and lamp replacement costs, which can be an important benefit for high ceiling lights in particular since they often require scaffolding for maintenance access.
- Uniform Light Distribution: The shape and design of linear high bay LED lighting helps distribute light more evenly across large spaces compared to other high bay lighting designs.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Linear LED high bay lights often come with various mounting options such as surface mount, pendant mount, or chain mount to allow for easy installation in a variety of locations.
Choosing a Model
When selecting a linear LED high bay light, consider the following:
- Lumen Output and Efficiency: Determine the brightness (lumens) and the energy efficiency (lumens per watt) that you need for your space. Keep in mind that the higher the brightness, the lower the efficiency. So, it is important to only have as much lumen output as is necessary. That way, costs are kept low while the brightness level is kept adequate.
- Color Temperature: Choose a color temperature (measured in Kelvins) that's suitable for your application. More neutral color temperatures might be better for a retail setting, while cooler temperatures may be more appropriate for warehouse lighting or factory lighting.
- Lifespan and Warranty: Check the expected lifespan of the light, the warranty provided by the manufacturer, and the ability of your supplier to provide post-sale support. How reachable and responsive are they? What do customer reviews say about their service?
- Dimmability and Controls: Flexibility in lighting levels can be especially important in large facilities with a variety of zones. To get the most from your LED lighting system, look for linear LED high bay lights with dimming capabilities or compatibility with lighting control systems.
- Certifications: Depending on building requirements in your area, your facility may need lights with specific certifications (like DLC qualification for rebates, or UL/ETL listings for safety standards).
-
Mounting Options: Explore available mounting options to find the one that best suits your space and installation preferences. These options can include hanging LED warehouse lighting on chains or mounting them flush to the ceiling.
