Light Quality in the Workplace
Good light quality is essential for a safe and productive working environment. In warehouses, production halls or logistics centers, lighting determines not only what you see, but also how efficiently and comfortably you work. LED high bays play an important role in this: they combine high light output with energy efficiency. But to truly get the most out of your LED high bay, it is important to pay attention to the CRI value, light color and LUX level.
CRI Value
The CRI value (Color Rendering Index) indicates how accurately colors are rendered under a light source. This value ranges from 0 to 100. The higher the CRI, the better you can distinguish colors.
For working environments such as warehouses or production halls, a CRI of at least 80 is recommended. This ensures realistic color reproduction, which is important for quality control or assembly work.
When choosing an LED high bay, don’t just look at the wattage or light output, but also at the CRI value. A high CRI value not only improves visibility but also increases safety and productivity.
Light Colors
Light color (Kelvin value) determines the atmosphere and appearance of a space. Below is an overview of the most commonly used light colors for LED high bays:
Light color | Kelvin (K) | Application |
Warm white | 3000K | Showrooms, retail areas |
Neutral white | 4000K | Warehouses, production halls |
Cool white | 6500K | High-bay warehouses, inspection areas |
LUX Level
The LUX level measures how much light falls on a surface. The higher the level, the better small details become visible. Proper LUX distribution prevents fatigue and increases safety.
Application | Recommended LUX |
Warehouse | 200–300 LUX |
Production hall | 300–500 LUX |
Logistics zone | 150–250 LUX |
Workshop | 500–750 LUX |
Choosing the right LED high bay is not only about wattage and energy efficiency, but also about light quality. Pay attention to CRI, light color and LUX value to optimize light quality in the workplace.
