View detailsLED High Bay Lighting for Warehouse Retrofit: 100W LED Replacement in Denmark
Project Location: Denmark
Application: Warehouse
Replaced Fixture: 250W HPS Lamps
New Fixture: 100W LED UFO High Bay (HBS Series)
Brand: SEEKINGLED
This warehouse project in Denmark did not begin with a discussion about brightness levels. It started with maintenance.
The site had been using 250W HPS lamps for years. They were familiar, but not predictable anymore. Lamp failures came in waves rather than one by one. Accessing fixtures meant lifts, downtime, and scheduling around daily operations. At some point, the lighting system itself became a routine cost item.
The request was straightforward: reduce ongoing maintenance and cut energy use, without changing the warehouse layout.
Understanding the Space
The warehouse ceiling height was consistent and relatively high. Racking rows were long and open, with clear aisles for forklifts and manual handling. There was no decorative requirement, and no zoning by task. Lighting needed to be even, stable, and easy to forget about once installed.
One concern raised early was heat buildup near the ceiling. The warehouse runs long hours, and any fixture that traps heat tends to shorten its own service life. That ruled out some options quickly.
Fixture Selection
We chose the 100W LED UFO high bay from the HBS Series as a direct replacement for the existing 250W HPS lamps.
The selection was not based on wattage math alone. Thermal structure and driver reliability were checked first. MEANWELL drivers were specified to reduce long-term failure risk, not to chase output.
Neutral white (4000K) was selected. It provided enough contrast for reading labels and checking stock condition, without introducing glare in open aisles.
Installation Notes
Existing mounting positions were reused. No changes were made to ceiling structure or wiring routes.
Spacing followed the original HPS layout. During planning, we considered tightening spacing, but test calculations showed acceptable uniformity, so we left it unchanged. Simpler installation, fewer variables.
One immediate difference was startup behavior. LEDs reached full output instantly. That changed how early shifts experienced the space, especially in winter mornings.
After Replacement
Light levels measured higher than the old system, even with lower wattage. Operators noticed fewer dark gaps between aisles.
Energy consumption dropped significantly. Based on site estimates, energy savings reached around 70%, while perceived brightness increased by roughly 30%.
More importantly, maintenance planning changed. With a rated lifespan over 100,000 hours and a 5-year warranty, lamp replacement was no longer treated as a routine task.
In a warehouse, that matters more than headline numbers.
