Normally, the height and the dimension of space can help you choose the right power of the light. Take HYPERLITE Hero Series led high bay light as an example, in order to achieve the illumination of 40fc, we suggest that you can take 100W for hanging height 13ft, 150W for 15ft, 200Wfor 17ft, and 250W for 20ft.

2. Personal needs.

Among the same other conditions, the purpose may affect the type of lights you will choose and the density of the lights you will install. Why you buy the lighting?
