Q1: What is the equivalent LED wattage for a 400W metal halide highbay?
A:
A 150W LED highbay light like the AURORE AHB-150 (delivering 18,000 lumens) directly replaces a traditional 400W metal halide fixture. It provides equal or superior lux levels while reducing power consumption by roughly 60–65%.
Q2: How many lumens does a 150W LED highbay produce?
A:High-efficiency 150W LED highbay lights yield between 15,000 to 22,500 lumens depending on chip efficacy. The AURORE AHB-150 produces 18,000 lumens, achieving a strong efficiency ratio of 120 lumens per watt.
Q3: What mounting height is recommended for a 150W LED highbay light?
A:A 150W LED highbay light with a 115° beam angle is optimal for ceiling clearance heights ranging between 6 meters to 10 meters (20 to 33 feet), making it suitable for standard industrial warehouses and factories.
Q4:What is the difference between 4000K and 6500K LED highbay lights?
A:4000K (Cool White) offers a neutral, comfortable light that reduces eye strain in indoor sports halls and offices, whereas 6500K (Daylight) provides a bright, bluish-white light offering maximum contrast for industrial manufacturing and detail inspection.
Q5: What voltage range is required for industrial highbay lights in Malaysia?
A:In Malaysia, industrial luminaires must support standard single-phase mains voltage between 220V and 240V AC at 50/60Hz, which the AURORE AHB-150 natively supports without requiring external step-down transformers.
Q6: Why is an aluminum reflector important on a highbay light?
A:An aluminum reflector (like the Ø 395mm reflector on the AHB-150) controls beam distribution, prevents light spill into unused vertical space, reduces glare for floor operators, and maximizes downward lux levels on work surfaces.
Q7: What does RA 80 / CRI 80 mean in LED industrial lighting?
A:RA (Color Rendering Index) measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects compared to natural sunlight. An RA 80 rating indicates high color fidelity, vital for material sorting, packaging, and quality control.
Q8: How long does a 30,000-hour LED highbay light last?
A:Operating 10 hours a day, a 30,000-hour rated LED highbay light like the AURORE AHB-150 lasts approximately 8.2 years, drastically lowering labor costs associated with high-ceiling light maintenance.
Q9: Can the AURORE AHB-150 LED Highbay lower monthly factory electricity bills?
A:Yes. Swapping a 400W metal halide fixture for a 150W AURORE LED Highbay saves roughly 250 Watts per light fitting. Over a 100-light facility running 12 hours daily, this saves over 900 kWh monthly.
Q10: What is the difference between UFO highbay and highbay with reflector?
A:Standard UFO highbays shoot light at wide default angles, whereas highbays fitted with aluminum reflectors (like the AHB-150) direct light rays vertically downwards, offering better glare control in deep high-rack aisles.
