What Are UFO LED High Bay Lights?
UFO LED lights are a specific type of high bay fixture, named for their distinctive compact, circular "saucer" shape. A UFO high bay light is the modern replacement for old, bulky metal halide fixtures. Unlike linear high bays, which are long and rectangular, the round high bay design provides an extremely efficient and wide, circular beam of light, making it the perfect solution for open-area spaces.
These UFO shop lights are a popular choice for their simple installation, high performance, and sleek, low-profile design.
Why Choose a UFO High Bay Light?
While all LED high bays save energy, the UFO LED high bay light design offers unique advantages:
- Superior Heat Dissipation: The circular, finned-aluminum design (acting as a large heat sink) allows heat to dissipate quickly and evenly. This keeps the LED UFO fixture cooler, extending its lifespan and improving performance.
- Wide, Uniform Light Spread: The round shape is perfect for casting a broad, even circle of light, minimizing dark spots and shadows in large, open-concept areas.
- Compact & Lightweight: A UFO light is significantly smaller and lighter than both traditional high bays and linear LEDs, making them easier and safer for one person to install.
- High-Lumen Efficiency: These fixtures are exceptionally efficient, converting more energy directly into light (lumens per watt), which means lower operating costs.
Common Applications for UFO Lights
The wide light distribution of a UFO light makes it the ideal choice for high-ceiling spaces that are more square or open, rather than long and narrow.
- Warehouses & Distribution Centers (especially open areas)
- Manufacturing Plants & Workshops
- High-Ceiling Garages & Auto Shops
- Gymnasiums, Barns, & Event Centers
