The best LED high bay is the one that matches your ceiling height, your voltage and the fixture you are replacing. For most warehouses replacing 400W metal halide, a selectable 120W to 240W UFO is the safe pick. Below are our picks from the five lines we carry, by job, with links to each fixture.

How we picked
- Match the old fixture. Each row is built around the metal halide wattage it usually replaces. Our wattage equivalents guide has the full table.
- Selectable wattage where possible. One fixture that steps between wattages covers more jobs and lets you tune light on site.
- Voltage. Plants and big warehouses often run 277-480V, which needs a fixture rated for it. See picking the right voltage.
- Controls. A sensor or sensor base pays off in spaces that sit empty part of the day.
UFO or linear?
UFO high bays are compact, quick to hang and great for open floors. Linear high bays spread light along aisles and rows with less glare. See UFO vs linear high bays.
How many do you need?
Use our high bay count guide or the lighting layout calculator for a quick estimate based on floor area, ceiling height and the light level you want.
Common questions
What is the best LED high bay for a warehouse?
It depends on ceiling height and voltage. For a typical warehouse replacing 400W metal halide, a 120W to 240W selectable UFO such as the TCP Elite UFO SW4 or the Gielight GL-UFO Y2 is a strong fit. Higher ceilings call for 300W to 500W fixtures.
What LED high bay replaces a 400W metal halide?
Usually an LED high bay in the 120W to 200W range, depending on ceiling height and how much light you want.
Do I need a 277-480V high bay?
Only if the building circuit is 347V or 480V. Most commercial buildings run 120-277V. Check the panel before you order.
