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.
