Many consumers interested in using energy efficient LED high bays find themselves washed away by a disorganized mess of information. Buyers look for low cost LED High bays with reliable performance. Because the new pushes towards green energy have been so fruitful over the last decade, it has become increasingly difficult to stay current. Certainly some businesses and business owners turn away from going green and saving money simply because they are discouraged by the chaos of the energy scene. For this reason, it is key to the success of the green movement around the world that information be collected and synthesized frequently for the benefit of the consumers. The list provided in this article is a value ranking of the products in one of the most, if not the most, proven energy saving industries – LED lighting.
When measuring the value of LED lights, there are several possible metrics to base a conclusion off of. For the purpose of this article, Lumens per Dollar over Warrantied life (lumens*Warranty/price) is considered to be the most valuable statistic, because it incorporates the value of the fixture and quality. After hours of research, the following list has been compiled based off of hundreds of high bays and producers. These 10 high bays are the best on the market in the tier 4 category of 30000- 60000 lumens, which could typically replace a 12 tube T8 32W fixture (approximately 384W), a 10 tube T5 HO 54W fixture (approximately 540W), or a 1000W Metal Halide (approximately 1080W with the ballast factor). The directional lumens of these traditional fixtures is variable based on the lens, reflectors and housings. Even though lumens per dollar was used to rank these fixtures, more information is provided, because efficiency and warranty are also key components of any purchasing decision.
Here are the rankings. Obviously the list is not exhaustive, so if you want to see how other lights on the market compare to the top contenders here, simply calculate the lumens per dollar.
