Description
A UFO high bay is the round, finned LED fitting that hangs over warehouse aisles, and this one draws 150W. The housing is black, with deep cooling fins ringing the body and a suspension ring at the top for a chain or a hook. The LEDs sit behind a flat lens on the underside, facing straight down at the floor. Two things set it apart from a plain high bay: it is dimmable, and it carries an emergency function, so it goes on giving light if the mains supply drops out.
It belongs in spaces with ceilings well above head height: warehouses, distribution units, workshops, factory floors, agricultural buildings and the larger domestic garage. Hung on a chain, a wire kit or a hook through the ring, it can be set at whatever height suits the work below. Leave clear air around the fins rather than pushing the fitting tight up against a soffit, because the fins are how the heat leaves an LED fitting of this size. How many you need is a layout question rather than a shopping one, since mounting height, the colour of the floor and the light level you are working to all change the spacing.
The manufacturer does not state a lumen figure, a colour temperature or a beam angle here, so if your specification calls for a number, treat those as open questions rather than assumptions. What is confirmed is the 150W load, the dimming and the emergency function; the manufacturer does not name the dimming protocol either, so settle that before a dimmer is wired in. Each order is one fitting, with a minimum order of one. A 90 degree reflector and a UFO high bay mounting bracket in black sit alongside it in our range.

Frequently Asked
What ceiling height is a UFO high bay meant for?
High bays are built for roofs too high for a batten or a panel to light usefully, which is why they turn up in industrial and commercial buildings. The manufacturer does not state a recommended mounting height for this one, so set it by the light level you need on the floor.
Does it take a separate lamp?
No. The LEDs are built into the fitting behind the flat lens on the underside, so there is no cap to match and no bulb to buy alongside it or change later on.
What does the emergency function actually do?
It keeps the fitting giving light when the mains supply fails. The manufacturer does not state the emergency duration or the output in emergency mode, so confirm both if the scheme has to meet a particular standard.
Can it be dimmed, and with what?
It is a dimmable fitting. The manufacturer does not name the dimming system it works with, so check the control type before you specify a dimmer switch or a lighting controller for the circuit.
How is it hung?
There is a suspension ring on the top of the housing, which takes a chain, a hook or a wire suspension kit. We also stock a UFO high bay mounting bracket in black if you would rather fix it than hang it.
