Automotive Showroom High Bay Lighting: XJ-HBS Application in Audi 4S Store, Germany

Project Type: Audi 4S Store
Location: Germany
Product Model: XJ-HBS High Bay
Configured Power: 100W
Brand: SEEKINGLED

This record was written after lighting calculations were finalized and the installation direction was confirmed.

Unlike factories or warehouses, an automotive showroom brings different constraints. Vehicles are reflective by nature. Paint finishes, glass surfaces, and polished floors all react to light in ways that are easy to underestimate at the planning stage.

Initial Review and Concerns

The store had sufficient ceiling height for high bay fixtures, but the space was visually open. No suspended ceilings, no visual barriers. That immediately raised a question: how to keep the lighting comfortable without flattening the space or creating harsh reflections on car bodies.

At first, the discussion focused on output levels. The customer wanted clarity around vehicles without glare. During review, it became clear that beam control alone would not fully address the issue.

Decision to Use PC Reflectors

We suggested adding Polyethylene (PC) reflectors to the XJ-HBS High Bays. The idea was not to reduce brightness, but to soften the transition of light. Showrooms need even illumination, but also a certain calmness. Too sharp, and the surfaces start fighting back.

This suggestion was discussed openly. No redesign of the layout. No additional fixtures. Just a change in how the light would exit the luminaire.

Once this direction was agreed, calculations were updated using XJ-HBS 100W LED High Bay Lights units with PC reflectors.

Project Direction and Setup

The revised calculations showed acceptable coverage across vehicle display zones and walkways. More importantly, the predicted luminance on vertical surfaces was lower, which suited the showroom environment better.

Installation followed the updated plan. From an on-site perspective, the fixtures looked less aggressive once powered on. Reflections on hoods and windshields were present, but controlled.

This project reinforced a familiar point: Automotive Showroom High Bay Lighting is not only about seeing clearly, but about how light behaves on surfaces.
