Project Location: Near Barcelona, Spain
Application: Factory Warehouse
Original Lighting: 400W Metal Halide
Replacement Model: XJ-HBS130W-2
Brand: SEEKINGLED
This note was written after installation and basic performance checks were completed.
The warehouse had been operating with 400W metal halide fixtures for many years. Most of them were still working, but light output had dropped unevenly. Some aisles were noticeably darker than others, especially between racking rows. Maintenance had become routine rather than occasional.
The customer’s request was not complicated. Improve visibility, reduce energy use, and avoid changing the existing mounting layout.
Assessment and Selection
We started by reviewing ceiling height, fixture spacing, and the actual tasks performed in the warehouse. This was not a high-precision production area, but operators needed to read labels, handle pallets, and move equipment safely.
At first glance, a higher wattage LED replacement could have worked. But after running calculations and checking spacing, the XJ-HBS130W-2 LED High Bay Light stood out as a reasonable balance. The aim was to improve light where it mattered, not just increase numbers on paper.
The decision was based on one-for-one replacement. Same mounting points. No additional fixtures.
Installation and Immediate Observations
Installation followed the warehouse’s normal operating schedule. Sections were upgraded one by one, which made comparisons easy. The difference between old MH-lit zones and LED-lit zones was visible without instruments.
Light spread was broader and more even. The delay and color shift typical of metal halide lamps disappeared, which operators noticed quickly, especially during early shifts.
Measured Results
After completion, average illuminance levels were measured. Compared to the previous system, lux levels were roughly doubled in working areas. At the same time, total power consumption dropped sharply, translating to around 67.5% energy savings based on fixture wattage.
These figures were documented as part of the handover, but the more practical feedback came from daily use. Aisles felt clearer. Shadow overlap was reduced.
No re-aiming or follow-up changes were requested.
This Warehouse LED High Bay Lighting Upgrade did not introduce new installation methods. It was a controlled replacement project, focused on making the space easier to work in while lowering operating load.
