Description
This is the 60 degree reflector made for a UFO highbay, and it is the shade rather than the light itself. The photograph shows a shallow bowl, wide and open at the bottom, tapering to a recessed circular seat at the top where it meets the body of the fitting, with a rolled rim running right around the wide edge. The surface is a bright metallic silver, the kind of finish a reflector needs, because the job of the part is to catch light that would otherwise spill sideways and send it back down. The 60 degrees in the name is the beam angle it is built to produce.
Highbays are mounted high, over warehouse aisles, workshop floors, factory bays, sports halls and large retail spaces, and the higher the mounting point the more the beam angle matters. A wide spread from ten metres up throws a lot of light at walls, racking sides and the ceiling void. Narrowing that spread concentrates the same output into a smaller circle on the floor, which is what you want over aisles and workstations where the working plane is what counts. The trade off is coverage: a tighter cone means each fitting lights a smaller patch, so spacing is usually closer. If you are lighting an open hall with nothing tall in it, a wider spread may suit you better.
One thing we will not guess at is fit. The supplier has published the beam angle and nothing further, so we have no diameter, no weight, no material and no list of the highbay models this seats against. Measure the body of your fitting and ask us before you order rather than working from the picture. Once it is up, keep the inside clean: dust on any reflective surface returns less light than a clean one, and a dry cloth on a cold, isolated fitting is all it takes.

Frequently Asked
What does a 60 degree beam angle mean in practice?
It describes the width of the cone of light leaving the fitting. A smaller number puts the same output onto a smaller area of floor, so 60 degrees suits higher mounting heights and aisle lighting.
Will this reflector fit my UFO highbay?
We cannot promise that it will. The supplier publishes no diameter and no compatibility list, so measure the body of your fitting and send us the figure before you order.
Does this listing include the highbay itself?
No. This is the reflector on its own, and the record lists no fitting, driver or fixings alongside it, so order the highbay separately.
What is the reflector made from?
The manufacturer does not state a material. The photograph shows a bright metallic silver surface, but we are not willing to name the metal from an image alone.
Does it carry an IP rating?
None is stated on the specification or on the pack, so we make no claim about water or dust protection and would treat this as an indoor part.
Does fitting a reflector change whether the light dims?
Dimming is a function of the highbay and its driver, not of the shade fitted over it. The supplier states nothing about dimming on this part.
