Led ufo's are brilliant.

Led ufo's are brilliant.

They are good as high bays, at 13 ft I would suggest led battens are best.

Agreed, excellent value for money and very wide angle. One would easily light up 3 bays, but a single unit would be bad for casting very sharp shadows.

I had Barton in my workshop. 16 ft walks and they were pi55poor lights. Good coverage with the two rows at 8 ft apart but never seemed bright enough. Have replaced with ufo leds and couldn’t be happier.

I’ve also started using kinetic switches which are fully water waterproof and dramatically reduce the amount of wiring needed and installation time.

How do the kinetic switches work?
I am completely clueless when it comes to electrics. Do they need a wifi connection?

No, basically when you push the switch it creates a micro pulse of electric that transmits to the receiver at the light fitting.

Its very clever stuff and very simple to install. Saves a lot of cable runs from light to switch.

One switch can do multiple lights as well. Ive got about 5 of them in operation now, some over a year old and not been any bother.

Didn't know they existed

Agree on all the above. I have 2 in my high barn for lambing which are wonderful, and I will fit a 3rd to do away with shadow areas. One for each bay.

Also seem WAY more reliable than batten lights...

Had a chat with my electric stuff supplier.
Hes dropped me off a ufo type light.
Try one might need more .

 

[TheTallGuy]

I've been speccing and using these ones https://www.lepro.co.uk/high-bay-led-lights

Depending on what you're storing & how high you might be able to get away with 1 per bay in the apex.

I hadn't heard of these "kinetic switches" either. Had a quick google - they seem to be marked by a single main company "ENERJ SMART LTD" trading as "EnerJ". They look like common remote-control switches i.e. wireless control via RF/wifi. Are they something different?

' just saying ' i had a chat with my electric supply dude , he said no they don't work . Especially in steel buildings it confuses the signal. Lights turning on - off , randomly.
