What is a UFO Highbay and Where is it Installed?
UFO Highbays are round LED lighting fixtures designed for environments with high ceilings, typically over 15 feet. They are ideal for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, gyms, and barns. With their efficient design, UFO Highbays provide powerful illumination for large spaces, ensuring that every area is well-lit for safety and productivity.

UFO Highbays are often used to replace legacy lighting fixtures such as:
- 250–400W Metal Halide High Bays
Replaced by 200W UFO Highbay, outputting approximately 26,000 to 30,000 lumens. - Fluorescent Fixtures
Replaced by 150W or 200W UFO Highbays, providing around 20,000 to 24,000 lumens. - HID Lights
Replaced by 100W to 240W UFO Highbays, delivering lumens ranging from 13,000 to 30,000 based on wattage and configuration.
Why Utilities Rebate UFO Highbays
Utilities offer rebates for UFO Highbays because they are listed with the DesignLights Consortium (DLC), which recognizes their energy efficiency. On average, UFO Highbays consume significantly less energy, with expected lifespans exceeding 50,000 hours compared to traditional fixtures, which can require replacement every 12 to 18 months. Common spaces that benefit from these fixtures include retail stores, industrial warehouses, and agricultural barns.
