CoreBay Series LED Linear High Bay Lights – A Complete Guide for Warehouses, Gyms, and Large Facilities
Kevin HernandezThe CoreBay Series LED Linear High Bay Lights from NCLTG are engineered to solve one of the toughest challenges in commercial and industrial lighting: providing bright, uniform illumination in high-ceiling environments. From warehouses and logistics centers to gymnasiums and manufacturing floors, these fixtures deliver the power, flexibility, and efficiency contractors demand and building owners expect.
With selectable wattage, adjustable color temperatures, high lumen output, and commercial-grade reliability, CoreBay Series high bays make it easy to tailor light levels to each space. This versatility means you get optimal performance at installation—and the ability to adjust as your facility’s needs evolve.
Why Choose CoreBay LED Linear High Bay Lights?
Lighting large, open spaces comes with common problems: dark spots, glare, high utility bills, and frequent maintenance. CoreBay addresses these issues with purpose-built design and advanced LED technology. Key advantages include:
- Selectable Wattage: Choose the output that matches your ceiling height and layout—without swapping fixtures.
- Adjustable CCT: Fine-tune color temperature (typically 3500K–5000K) for productivity, comfort, or brand alignment.
- High Efficiency: Models reach efficacy levels over 160 lm/W, cutting energy bills by up to 60% compared to HID fixtures.
- DLC Premium Listed: Unlock utility rebates while meeting today’s strictest energy codes.
- Long Lifespan: With an L70 rating over 50,000 hours, CoreBay minimizes downtime and maintenance costs.
How CoreBay Solves High-Bay Lighting Challenges
Problem: Inconsistent Illumination Across Wide Areas
Large facilities often deal with shadows or uneven light distribution. The CoreBay’s engineered linear optics provide uniform coverage, ensuring safe navigation in aisles, visibility on work surfaces, and a professional appearance for customers and staff.
Problem: High Energy Costs
Metal halide and T5/T8 fluorescent high bays consume large amounts of power. CoreBay delivers the same—or greater—light levels while consuming a fraction of the energy, lowering operating costs dramatically.
Problem: Frequent Maintenance
Changing bulbs and ballasts in fixtures 30+ feet off the ground is costly and disruptive. CoreBay’s solid-state LEDs with rated lifetimes of 50,000+ hours significantly reduce service calls, lift rentals, and downtime.
Problem: Glare and Visual Discomfort
Facilities where employees or athletes spend hours under high-intensity lighting need glare control. CoreBay optics distribute light evenly, minimizing hotspots while maintaining brightness.
Applications for CoreBay Series High Bay Lights
Because CoreBay is available in multiple wattages and lumen packages, it adapts to nearly any high-ceiling use case:
- Warehouses and Distribution Centers: Reliable aisle lighting for inventory visibility and safety compliance.
- School Gymnasiums: Bright, uniform coverage that supports athletics, assemblies, and community events.
- Industrial Manufacturing: High-output illumination to reduce errors and increase worker safety.
- Retail Big Box Stores: Enhance product visibility while cutting overhead costs.
- Airplane Hangars and Exhibition Halls: Scalable lumen packages for very large spans.
How to Select the Right CoreBay High Bay for Your Project
Choosing the right high bay depends on mounting height, spacing, and required foot-candles. CoreBay simplifies this process with selectable wattage and CCT options, but here’s a general guide:
| Mounting Height | Recommended Wattage | Approx. Lumens | Best Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15–20 ft | 100–150W | 15,000–18,000 | Small warehouses, gyms |
| 20–30 ft | 150–200W | 22,000–30,000 | Large warehouses, industrial floors |
| 30+ ft | 200–240W+ | 30,000+ | Aircraft hangars, stadiums |
