Low Bay Lighting
The subtle art of low bay lighting balances brightness and comfort in mid-height spaces
31 hours ago
0
What is the primary reason low bay lighting is preferred over high bay lighting in spaces with ceilings between 12 and 20 feet?
Because low bay lighting fixtures are always cheaper than high bay fixtures
Because high bay lighting is designed specifically for low ceilings
Because low bay lighting provides better illumination and reduces glare at moderate ceiling heights
