LED High Bay Replacement for Warehouse Lighting: XJ-HBL150W Used in a Russian Warehouse

News LED Light Project​ 1970

Project Location: Russia
Application: Industrial Warehouse
Product Model: XJ-HBL150W
Brand: SEEKINGLED

This project took place in a working warehouse in Russia where the existing lighting had become a practical problem. The site was still using metal halide lamps, and over time the light levels had dropped to a point where basic tasks were harder than they should have been. The customer did not ask for a redesign. Their first request was simple: replace what was already there, one to one, and improve the light level.

That constraint shaped most of the decisions that followed.

Existing Conditions on Site

Before making any proposal, we reviewed the existing layout. The mounting height and fixture spacing were fixed. The metal halide lamps were still operating, but the lux readings were low and inconsistent. Some aisles were noticeably darker, especially away from the center lines.

From experience, this kind of environment doesn’t need complicated optics. It needs reliable output and predictable distribution.

One-to-One Replacement Planning

The customer wanted to keep the same quantity of fixtures. No additional wiring, no extra mounting points. Under those conditions, the only way to meet the required lux level was to select a high-output LED high bay and verify it carefully.

We chose the XJ-HBL150W LED High Bay Light and ran a full Dialux calculation using the existing layout. The goal was not to push the maximum possible brightness, but to confirm that average and minimum lux values would reach an acceptable working level across the warehouse floor.

The calculation showed that the target could be met without changing fixture count.

Dialux Results and Confirmation

We shared the Dialux report with the customer before any shipment. They reviewed the numbers closely. At that stage, energy savings were discussed, but they were not the main focus. The priority was whether people could work more comfortably and safely under the new lighting.

Once the calculation was approved, the project moved forward without further changes.

Installation and Measured Outcome

After installation, the warehouse lighting was measured again. Compared to the previous metal halide system, the lux level on the floor was roughly doubled. At the same time, total energy consumption dropped by about 63%, based on fixture power and operating hours.

From the site feedback we received, the improvement was immediately noticeable during daily operations. Aisles were clearer, and there was less variation between different zones.

For this LED High Bay Replacement for Warehouse Lighting project, the key was restraint. We did not redesign the space. We worked within the existing structure and let the calculation do the work.
