Which opening angle of the led high bay?

Why can a 120 degree LED high bay avoid problems?

The choice of the opening angle of the led high bay can raise many doubts for consumers when choosing their lighting. This is why we have chosen to simplify this task for our customers by manufacturing all our high bays at 120 °.

We have carefully studied the aspects of the different scenarios where an LED high bay can be installed, in order to choose the best option. The larger the opening angle of the LED high bay, the greater the expectation of light comfort that we get, because it reduces the appearance of shadows between the LED high bays and adapts better to different lighting scenarios industrial and commercial, without the need for complex light studies.

Closed angle LED high bays are suitable for lighting specific and specific areas where you want to highlight a particular object or area, but open angle (120º) LED high bays are ideal for lighting work areas where you need correct uniformity and adequate lighting comfort. The minimum uniformity of an installation is a parameter regulated by standard UNE-12464-1.

What effect with a more closed angle LED high bay?

When testing several LED high bays from different manufacturers in our facilities, we must take into account the big difference between testing a single LED high bay or install several if optics are different. Two 150W LED high bays and with the same efficiency, give us a different measurement, why?.

A LED high bay with a more closed angle will get more intensity but less light between the LED high bays, so depending on the separation between each, gray areas may appear:

150W LED HIGH BAY WITH 90º ANGLES - Less uniformity

On the contrary, the same LED HIGH BAY but with a more open angle will distribute the light better and at the junction between the different LED high bays, we will obtain greater uniformity, with a lower probability of shadows. Therefore, more light comfort and satisfaction in the end result:
