High bay lights are fixtures used to illuminate rooms with higher than average ceilings. They are often found in a room or building with a cathedral ceiling, and they have more powerful light beams that are capable of providing light to such a large space.
To get the maximum benefits from your high bay lights, it's important to use the right kind of light bulbs. Check out a few reasons to use LED bulbs in your high bay lights.
1. LED Bulbs Have Longer Lifespans
If you're tired of having to constantly change your fixture's bulbs, know that LED bulbs have longer lifespans than other alternatives (like halogen and incandescent bulbs). Not only does this long lifespan allow you to go longer between bulb changes, but it prevents you from having to go through the process of changing a bulb in your high light fixture.
Depending on the height of your ceilings, you may need to break out a ladder to change the bulb or even outsource the job to a pro with the necessary equipment to safely access your fixtures. The less time and resources you devote to lightbulb changes, the more you'll have for other tasks.
2. You Can Save Money by Switching to LED Bulbs
Another benefit of LED bulbs is that they're more energy-efficient than your other options. Even if you use the same amount of electricity, the efficiency of the LED high bay light bulbs will help you reduce your power bill. Since LED bulbs last longer than other bulbs, you'll have additional savings due to not purchasing light bulbs as frequently.
3. An LED Bulb is Better for the Environment
If you're looking for easy changes you can make that will make your life more eco-friendly, swapping your current bulbs for LED bulbs is one simple option. Eventually, an LED bulb will burn out and require disposal.
However, an LED bulb doesn't have any chemicals or compounds that are potentially harmful to the environment. When you have to throw it away, you won't have to worry about the contents of the bulb leaching into the ground and impacting the nearby land and water supply.
The long lifespan of the LED bulb also contributes to the bulb's low environmental impact. Thanks to the long lifespan, fewer LED lightbulbs are needed for your lighting needs. This means that fewer LED lightbulbs need to be manufactured and sold when compared to other light bulbs. Lower production and distribution numbers results in fewer effects on the environment.
