What is UFO LED high bay lights?
UFO LED high bay lights are indoor industrial and commercial lighting fixtures with round, integrated design, named for their compact, flat disc-shaped body that resembles UFO. They typically feature high lumen output, high luminous efficiency, and symmetrical beam angle, enabling uniform and bright light distribution even at higher installation heights. Their round light-emitting surface, combined with professional optical design, distributes light evenly in all directions, reducing ineffective scattering. This makes UFO round high bay LED lights ideal for large spaces such as warehouses, factories, shops, and sports lighting, and also allows for increased installation spacing, reducing the number of lights required.
In terms of market position and development trend, the UFO round shape has become the mainstream choice for modern LED high bay lighting, and its reliability and adaptability are stronger than those of the linear type. They have high-strength structure, providing advantages in both protection performance and heat dissipation. Therefore, they are suitable for both high and low ceilings space, as well as harsh or high/low-temperature environments. While significantly reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs, we also support various smart control options, such as dimming, CCT adjustment, and motion sensors, allowing lighting to be flexibly adjusted according to usage needs.
Multiple Installation Methods
UFO LED high bay lights are popular in industrial lighting application, largely due to their flexible and stable installation methods, which can adapt to different building structures, ceiling heights, and layouts. Suspended installation is the most common and widely used method. The light fixture is suspended vertically from the ceiling using chain or pendant rod, allowing the luminous surface to shine naturally downwards. Bracket installation offer greater flexibility, allowing direct fixation to concrete ceilings, metal beams, or walls, and can also control the direction of lighting. For environments requiring strict glare control, upward-facing installation is also possible, using light reflected from the ceiling. These simple and varied installation methods reduce installation costs and improve efficiency.
The following are installation examples; all LEDRHYTHM UFO high bay LED lights support these methods. View this example product.

Choose the Appropriate Wattage
Choosing the appropriate wattage is the key to ensuring that the lighting solution is both energy-efficient and meets brightness requirements. This typically requires considering both installation height and illuminance. Simple storage may only require 100-150 lux, while precision assembly may require over 400 lux. Therefore, higher illuminance standards necessitate UFO high bay LED lights with higher wattage or higher luminous flux output. Although professional lighting design requires comprehensive calculations, determining the initial wattage based on installation height is a highly reliable and practical starting point.
Since UFO high-bay LED lights are designed for high ceilings and large spaces, as the installation height of the lights increases, the light propagation distance becomes longer, and the ground brightness will also decrease. Therefore, higher wattage or higher lumen output is usually required to compensate for light loss.
- 6–8 meter installation height: Typically choose 100W–150W, suitable for small to medium-sized warehouses or workshops.
- 8–10 meter installation height: Commonly choose 150W–240W, balancing illuminance and coverage area.
- 10–12 meter installation height: 240W–300W is recommended to ensure sufficient brightness and clarity.
- 12–15 meter installation height: Mostly use 300W–400W UFO high bay lights for large industrial or commercial spaces.
| Mounting Height | Recommended Wattage | Beam Angles | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–8 m (20–26 ft) | 100W – 150W | 120° | Wide coverage, brightness not too strong |
| 8–10 m (26–33 ft) | 150W – 200W | 90° / 120° | Balance is achieved between light distribution and brightness |
| 10–12 m (33–39 ft) | 200W – 240W | 60° / 90° | Higher power to compensate for light loss |
| 12–15+ m (39–49 ft) | 240W – 300W | 45° / 60° | Still bright even at ultra-high installation height |
UFO High Bay Lighting Layout
An excellent lighting layout can achieve optimal lighting quality, uniformity, and visual comfort with the fewest number of light fixtures. For round UFO high bay LED lights that illuminate symmetrically in all directions, grid layout is the most common and practical. There are two main forms, both of which ensure uniform illumination and eliminate noticeable shadows. The standard rectangular grid layout features neat rows and columns arranged on the ceiling, resembling a chessboard. Its advantages include simple design and standardized installation. The staggered grid layout involves installing adjacent rows of lights in a staggered manner, forming an equilateral triangle distribution, which further enhances light continuity and effectively reduces shadows.
The spacing between light fixtures is the core of the layout, directly determining the overall uniformity and brightness. This is especially true for UFO high-bay LED lighting with grid layout, where the spacing is influenced by installation height, beam angle, and target illuminance. A ratio of spacing to installation height can typically be used as preliminary reference. Industry experience suggests: Recommended spacing ≈ Installation height (H) × Spacing factor (typically 1.0 to 1.6).
- Basic uniform lighting: 1.5 spacing factor is typically used. For installation height of 10 meters, spacing of approximately 15 meters is recommended.
- Higher uniformity or brightness: At the same 10-meter installation height, 1-1.3 factor is recommended, corresponding to installation spacing of 10-13 meters.
| UFO High Bay Mounting Height | Basic Uniformity Spacing | High Uniformity Spacing |
|---|---|---|
| 6 m (20 ft) | 8.4 – 9.6 m (28 – 31 ft) | 6.0 – 7.2 m (20 – 24 ft) |
| 8 m (26 ft) | 11.2 – 12.8 m (37 – 42 ft) | 8.0 – 9.6 m (26 – 31 ft) |
| 10 m (33 ft) | 14.0 – 16.0 m (46 – 52 ft) | 10.0 – 12.0 m (33 – 39 ft) |
| 12 m (39 ft) | 16.8 – 19.2 m (55 – 63 ft) | 12.0 – 14.4 m (39 – 47 ft) |
| 15 m (49 ft) | 21.0 – 24.0 m (69 – 79 ft) | 15.0 – 18.0 m (49 – 59 ft) |
It is important to note that the UFO high bay lighting layout should also be optimized for the building structure. Potential obstructions from large equipment, pipes, or high-rise shelving should be avoided, rather than simply increasing wattage or the number of light fixtures. For areas requiring high illuminance uniformity, we recommended to conduct lighting simulations or on-site verification based on the initial layout to ensure that the final solution strikes balance between efficiency and visual comfort.
UFO Round Design Core Advantages
The round design of UFO LED high bay lights is a mature structural choice, showing significant advantages in optical performance, heat dissipation efficiency, and structural stability. Firstly, from an optical design perspective, a round light-emitting surface is naturally suited for creating symmetrical and uniform downward light distribution. Compared to linear or square structures, the UFO round design more easily achieves balance between center and edge brightness, effectively reducing problems of uneven illuminance or localized overbrightness, and single luminaire can cover larger area. This uniform, wide-range, and stable light distribution characteristic allows for more efficient illumination and reduces reliance on complex secondary optics.
Secondly, UFO have inherent advantages in heat dissipation design. Round die-cast aluminum has numerous heat dissipation fins, providing larger heat dissipation area within limited volume. Its streamlined shape allows for rapid airflow, releasing heat into the air. This uniform heat sink distribution dissipates the heat generated by the LED chip via the shortest path, significantly reducing the core junction temperature. This improves the overall reliability and lifespan of the light, making it particularly suitable for industrial lighting environment requiring long-term continuous operation.
In terms of structural stability and safety, also performs exceptionally well. The one-piece die-cast round aluminum disc is seamless and weld-free, resulting in extremely high structural strength that can withstand vibrations and impacts in industrial environments. Furthermore, the fixture body has concentrated center of gravity and balanced stress distribution, maintaining excellent stability regardless of whether it is installed using chains, rods, or brackets.
High Bay Lighting : UFO vs Linear
High-bay lighting is mainly divided into two types: UFO and linear. There is no absolute superiority or inferiority between them; rather, they each leverage their advantages based on different environments, lighting objectives, and project implementation methods. From overall perspective, UFO high bay LED lights emphasize concentrated, vertically downward lighting and installation flexibility. Linear types, on the other hand, are better suited for uniform coverage of long spaces. For general lighting, renovation projects, or scenarios requiring rapid deployment, UFO-type are often more efficient.
| Comparison Item | UFO Round | Linear |
|---|---|---|
| Light Distribution | Symmetrical, focused downward lighting | Wide, continuous linear distribution |
| Installation Flexibility | High (chain, pendant, bracket) | Moderate (mainly suspended or surface-mounted) |
| Typical Mounting Height | Medium to high ceilings | Medium ceilings with continuous layouts |
| Retrofit Suitability | Very suitable for traditional replacement | Better for new installations |
| Typical Project Focus | Efficiency, flexibility, fast deployment | Uniformity, long space lighting |
What should the best UFO LED high bay lights have?
For users, the best UFO LED high bay lights are not just about being brighter. They need to be energy-efficient, reliable over the long term, and long lifespan. Heat dissipation is fundamental to stable operation and long lifespan; the round structure must be one-piece die casting of aluminum, not pieced-together. And greater thickness and strength are necessary to achieve the best standards. The light source should use high-quality LED chips from international brands, as they offer superior color rendering and stability. In terms of light distribution, multiple beam angle options should be provided for greater application flexibility. The driver power should have wide input voltage range and be compatible with the LED light source. Overall design should offer high protection, being waterproof, dustproof, and corrosion-resistant. It must also be compatible with some intelligent functions.
Does the UFO high bay LED lighting come with lampshade?
Of course. All UFO high bay LED lighting are available with variety of lampshade materials, including translucent or opaque types, which can be freely installed or removed. Furthermore, we can install wire mesh protective grille, primarily to protect the fixture illuminated surface and prevent damage from accidental impacts, falling objects, or maintenance. It is important to note that metal protective netting is more geared towards security and protection than light distribution control.
- Transparent type: Typically uses high-transmittance, impact-resistant PC or optical plastic materials. It softens and diffuses light without significantly reducing light output, minimizing glare and making lighting more comfortable. Suitable for factories or workshops with frequent personnel movement.
- Opaque type: Mostly uses aluminum or metal reflectors to create highly reflective surface. It allows for more focused control of the beam direction, increasing effective illuminance. Suitable for high bay spaces requiring directional lighting or higher ground brightness.
In terms of structural design, the round of the UFO high bay light and its lampshade offer advantage in terms of matching. The round light-emitting surface, combined with symmetrical lampshade, helps to create more uniform and controllable light, avoiding problems such as light spillage or localized overbrightness. This is why, in high-ceiling industrial or commercial environments, UFO lights often optimize lighting efficiency through lampshades, rather than simply relying on increased wattage.

What are the best practices for 150W UFO LED high bay light?
150W is the most commonly chosen power for high bay LED lighting. It can be paired with wide or medium beam angles to meet variety of installation or illumination requirements. A 150W UFO LED high bay light can replace a 300W MH or a 400W HPS or two 150W T8/T5 fluorescent tubes, saving over 60% in energy.
We recommend installing the 150W at 6-10 meters (20–33ft) and using it with beam angles of 120°, 90° or 60° to meet high and low illuminance standards. For wide beam angles, the installation spacing is typically 1.5 times the installation height. For medium or narrow beam angles, the installation spacing is 1-1.2 times the height.
| 150W UFO Mounting Height | Beam Angle | Installation Spacing | Average Illuminance |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–7 m (20–23 ft) | 120° | 7–9 m (23–30 ft) | 200–300 lux |
| 7–9 m (23–30 ft) | 90° | 8–11 m (26–36 ft) | 200–300 lux |
| 9–10 m (30–33 ft) | 60° | 9–12 m (30–39 ft) | 250–350 lux |
How effective is the protection of the UFO high bay LED lights?
Round UFO structure inherently enhances mechanical strength and durability. They typically use a unibody die-cast aluminum shell, rather than plastic or thin sheet metal. Aluminum offers superior impact resistance in practical use, effectively protecting against collisions during handling, accidental drops during installation, and the frequent vibrations of industrial environments. Furthermore, the surface undergoes professional anodizing or powder coating treatment, forming a dense protective layer with excellent corrosion resistance.
Through sealed and waterproof design, our UFO high bay LED lights achieve at least IP65 rating, completely preventing dust ingress and resisting water flow from all directions. This is achieved through the use of silicone sealing rings at the seams, precisely pressed together, and all wiring outlets equipped with waterproof connectors. Driver power also comes standard with 5-6KV surge protection.
How should I choose high bay UFO LED shop lights?
Shop typically refers to works paces such as production, fabrications, and maintenance shops. Unlike large warehouses or heavy industrial plants, these spaces usually have low to medium ceiling heights. Since people work there for extended periods and require high level of precision, shop UFO high bay lighting prioritizes lighting quality and visual comfort. Fixtures should control glare and ensure even light distribution.
We recommend choosing 100-150W, which meets the required illumination while controlling energy consumption. For shops with slightly higher ceilings or larger areas, higher wattage may be appropriate. 120° or 90° beam angle can be chosen depending on the required brightness. Color temperature of 5000-6500K is recommended to make the entire space brighter and clearer, effectively improving work focus and efficiency. Lampshades are also recommended to reduce glare. Finally, motion sensors and dimming can be selected based on specific needs.
Why do most high-power high bay lights adopt UFO round design?
High-power high bay lights generate significant amount of heat during operation. The UFO round structure, with its numerous heat sinks, offers major advantage in heat dissipation efficiency, allowing heat to diffuse evenly from the center outwards. Compared to linear or other shapes, the round design more easily achieves uniform heat distribution, thereby reducing localized overheating, slowing down light decay, and extending lifespan.
Are round high bay LED lights more advantageous for renovation projects?
Renovation projects typically should avoid large-scale rewiring. The existing power lines and light fixture locations in factories or warehouses are often fixed. If linear type is used, denser arrangement is usually required to achieve uniform illumination, which in practice may mean adding new installation locations or adjusting wiring, increasing construction complexity. In contrast, UFO high-bay lights, characterized by high single-point output and large coverage area, are easier to replace using old installation locations, reducing modifications to the electrical system.
Furthermore, the UFO type allows shorter construction period, reducing labor costs and downtime costs. They are also more adaptable to older environments with many obstacles and irregular spaces. Even if perfectly regular arrangement cannot be achieved, it still can maintain a relatively uniform and stable lighting effect.
