Optimizing the spacing of led high bay fixtures can give a space higher lighting efficiency, improve lighting effects and reduce lighting costs. Next we will discuss in depth how to optimize the installation spacing of led high bay fixtures from the factors affecting the spacing and how to calculate the spacing.
Factors affecting the spacing of led high bay fixtures
The factors affecting the spacing of led high bay fixtures are very important to the enhancement of the lighting effect, and the following factors are the main influence points:
- Ceiling Height: ceiling height on the led high bay fixture spacing has a greater impact, the higher the ceiling height will require more power and spacing farther from the lamps. At the same time some of the lamps and lanterns installation options will also affect the pitch, adjustable height of the installation options make the installation of the pitch can also be fine-tuned.
- Lumens and Beam Angle: Higher lumen led high bay fixtures generally cover a larger area and provide a larger spacing for the space. At the same time, the wider the beam angle can also be dispersed to a wider range of light, which can also make the installation spacing larger.
- Lighting Needs: different lighting needs will also affect the installation of the spacing needs to be considered, such as the work area needs to have a higher brightness than the storage area, more concentrated lighting, so the need to narrow the installation spacing in order to improve the lighting effect in the region.
- Energy Consumption: too concentrated spacing may make the number of lamps and lanterns required to become more, while also increasing energy consumption, and there may be excessive lighting to bring the problem of energy waste. Adjusting the spacing to the actual space will help you save energy.
These factors are not just one point is enough, need to be combined with the lighting situation of the space for comprehensive consideration, and to adjust the optimal spacing.
How to calculate the optimal spacing of led high bay fixtures
Through the influence of factors can understand about adjusting the spacing of a few ideas direction, then how to go through the calculation to get a more accurate optimal spacing?
Standard Calculation Method
Through the spacing standard (SC) method to be able to get a set of basic formula: the spacing between the lamps should not exceed the installation height of 1.5 times.
That is, if the height of your lighting space is 20ft, then the installation spacing between LED high bay lights should not exceed 30ft.
With 1.5 times as the standard value, if you want a wider spacing, can be adjusted to 2 times, corresponding to the height of the space of 20ft, the installation spacing between the lamps is 40ft.
If you want a narrower spacing, you can adjust it to 1x, corresponding to a space height of 20ft, and the installed spacing between fixtures will be 20ft.
This method is the basis of a spacing calculation, you need to combine the specific lumen value and beam angle of the led high bay fixture you buy to adjust the specific value, at the same time, you need to take into account the specific needs of the space.
