What we get asked at the counter, written down. Sizing, standards, what fails and why, and what is worth seeing running before you buy it.
Bajaj Electricals offers LED high bay models in 100W to 200W across the Blaze and Duranto ranges. Models vary by lumen output (12,000 to 20,000+), beam angle (60° to 120°) and thermal design. Narrow 60° beams suit high ceilings; wider 120° beams serve lower installations. Fin ventilation and MCPCB mounting ensure long life in heat and dust.
Food processing plants near Daman face salt air corrosion that destroys standard lighting within 18–24 months. Marine-grade LED fixtures with IP66 minimum, 316 stainless steel hardware, and ASTM B117 salt spray certification protect your plant. Specify 300–500 lux for processing and 500–750 lux for inspection.
Factory outdoor lighting must handle reduced daylight hours from October through December. Plan before autumn to meet lux requirements, choose the right fixtures, and ensure safety during peak production season when natural light fails.
Installing LED high bays incorrectly causes uneven light, dark spots, early failure and safety risks on factory floors. The main mistakes are selecting the wrong beam angle for ceiling height, spacing fixtures too far apart, and allowing heat to build up inside the fixture. Correct installation ensures uniform coverage and extends LED life to 50,000 hours or more.
LED high bays replace 400 W metal halide with 150 W LED using 67% less electricity, maintain 70% light output over 50,000+ hours versus metal halide's 50% loss by 10,000 hours, and usually pay back their extra cost within a few years. Metal halide remains cheaper to install but costs more to run and maintain.
Standard LED fixtures fail quickly in dye houses because acidic vapors corrode aluminum housings and fog lenses. Choose fixtures with anodized or fluorocarbon-coated aluminum, PMMA or GRP housings, stainless fasteners, and IP65 or higher ratings. Placement above heated tanks matters: acid mists rise, cool and settle on overhead lights.
Salt-laden air from the Arabian Sea travels miles inland across Daman, corroding standard outdoor lighting within 12 to 24 months. Corrosion, not water ingress, is the primary failure mode. You need IP65 minimum (IP66 preferred), Type 316 stainless steel fasteners, low-copper aluminium housings, and powder-coated or anodized finishes tested to ASTM B117.
LED high bay fittings for warehouses need to be sized by mounting height, lumen output and beam angle. The IP rating must suit the environment: dusty areas, wash-down zones and coastal locations need higher protection. Matching the fitting to your floor layout avoids dark aisles and wasted light in low-traffic zones.
