The lighting renovation plan for the factory workshop of the stingy boss
Last time I went to the workshop to help my cousin pick out lights, the old master complained: “These crappy lights are dimmer than my bathroom! We have to rely on ‘fishing’ to get any work done!” That’s when I realized that choosing lights for a factory is truly an arcane art! Today, I’ll teach you step-by-step how to get the most bang for your buck—turn your workshop as bright as daylight while cutting your electricity bill in half! (Boss’s delight version ✨)
3 Killer Tips for High Bay Light Selection
1. Don’t Just Buy Any Wattage! Measure the Workshop Height First!
For workshops under 5 meters: 100 watts is enough, don’t let the salesperson trick you into buying 200 watts! (Electricity bill assassin warning!)
For large workshops of 8 meters: Start with 150 watts minimum. Buying high bay lights like bulbs? If they’re not bright enough, you’ll have to climb a ladder to replace them—backbreaking work!
2. Know How to Read the “ID” of the LED Chips
Stick to big brands like Cree or Bridgelux for chips (knockoff high bay lights turn into fireflies in half a year!)
⚠️ Color Rendering Index (CRI) > 80! Otherwise, parts’ colors will look off, and the quality control girl will go berserk! (Don’t ask me how I know this.)
3. The Heat Sink is More Important Than Your Boyfriend!
Touch the lamp casing! If it’s hot, pass! Aluminum heat sinks are the real MVP!
Pro tip: Light covers with honeycomb grids reduce glare—stare at them for half an hour without going blind! (Workshop master approved!)
Money-Saving Hacks for Frugal Bosses
✅ Look for “Luminous Efficacy”: 130lm/W or above is a no-brainer! Same brightness, less electricity—skip two cups of milk tea!
❌ Avoid 6000K white light! It’s as pale as a morgue! Go for 4000K warm white—workers will feel better even while hauling bricks!
Bonus points for smart dimming! Work late at half brightness, and the electricity meter will slow down so much the boss might think there’s a power outage!
Don’t Fall for These Traps!
Claims of “waterproof and dustproof” without an IP rating? Total scam!
(For heavy oil and dust workshops, go for IP65; for regular workshops, IP54 is enough.)
High bay lights with screw holes? Run! They’ll fall off after a few vibrations—damage the machinery, and you’ll cry over the bill!
Warranty less than 5 years? Total trash! High bay lights should last at least 8 years!
