High bay and low bay lighting fixtures are both designed to provide illumination in a specific area, but they are used in different types of settings and are mounted at different heights.
High bay lighting fixtures are typically used in high ceiling areas, such as warehouses, factories, and gymnasiums. They are mounted at a height of 20 feet or higher and are designed to provide adequate lighting for activities that take place below them. High bay lighting fixtures are typically more powerful and efficient than traditional lighting fixtures, as they need to illuminate a larger area.
Low bay lighting fixtures, on the other hand, are used in settings with lower ceiling heights, typically between 8 and 20 feet. They are designed to provide illumination for activities that take place in areas with lower ceilings, such as retail stores, offices, and schools. Low bay lighting fixtures are typically less powerful and more energy-efficient than high bay fixtures, as they do not need to provide as much light over a larger area.
In general, high bay lighting fixtures are used in industrial and commercial settings, while low bay lighting fixtures are used in more general purpose settings.
