High Bay lighting is the best way to efficiently illuminate mid to high-ceiling space. High bay lamps are ideal for open areas with at least 13 feet of space between the floor and the bottom of the lighting fixture. As a total lighting solutions provider, ALT is now offering a new option for high-bay lighting, utilizing the world’s brightest LED T8 tubes; the new high bay option will properly illuminate the workspace while ensuring high color retention and improved lumen output. The ALTLED® T8 high bay solution is more efficient than traditional lighting and other LED competitors and is perfectly suitable for hypermarts, gyms, factories, including freezers and environments down to -65℃.

Replacing Mercury Lamps

The ALTLED® T8 is the brightest LED T8 tube in the world; putting two 4ft 46W tubes together in a high-bay fixture will perfectly replace the traditional high-bay lighting, consuming less watts as opposed to the 250W required by mercury lights. Not only is this new lighting application brighter and saves more energy, it is also mercury and hazardous materials free. 

Replacing Fluorescent Lamps

The ALTLED® replacement bulbs emits light at a 180 degree pattern vs the 360 degree pattern given off by T8 fluorescent bulbs. This means that all of the light generated by the ALTLED® bulb is focused in the 180 degree area. Traditional lighting sources such as T8 fluorescent bulb has a beam angle of 360 degrees; a majority of the light generated by the T8 bulb is going out the sides and top of bulb, which does not benefit the intended target. In this case, only 50% of the light given off by the T8 fluorescent is actually hitting the intended target. This reduces light pollution and does not waste unnecessary light exposure. 

In terms of product lifespan, a fluorescent bulb at the end of its life is obvious because it flickers and then dies. A T8 fluorescent bulb is considered end-of-life at 60 percent of its light output, which equates to roughly 14,400 hours. ALTLED® replacement bulbs on the other hand, calculate the end of life at 70 percent which is approximately 50,000 hours. In other words, the traditional T8 bulbs will need to be replaced 3.5 times to equate the same product lifespan of ALTLED® T8 tubes. 

Why Choose ALTLED 

Apart from the general benefits of LED over traditional lighting sources mentioned above, ALTLED offers other additional advantages. Due to specialized aluminum heat sink design, ALTLED® T8 LED lights are stable and maintain high quality in terms of performance. Furthermore, they contribute little to none heat gain in a room or air conditioned space. The ALTLED lights generate less heat, which means that the Air Conditioning system does not have to work as hard. This is vitally important for a new building project or upgrade as smaller A/C systems may be utilized to heat the same area. ALTLED® T8 are offered in various color temperatures and lengths (for high bay 4ft is recommended). Lens type, base pins rotation and single or double-end input can be customized. Finally, ALTLED® T8 tubes can work in polar environments that reach -65℃, which can be turned on and off instantly without fail.
