High Bay Lighting LED Driver Solutions
Compact, programmable and high-voltage constant-current LED drivers for UFO high bays, linear high bays, warehouses, factories, logistics centers and demanding industrial lighting systems.
Common Power Challenges in High Bay Lighting
High bay drivers must manage thermal stress, long duty cycles, sensor control and multiple facility voltages inside compact industrial luminaires.
Heat Inside Compact Fixtures
UFO housings place the LED board, driver and heat sink in a tightly integrated thermal system.
Long Industrial Duty Cycles
Warehouses and factories may operate 12–24 hours per day with limited downtime.
Multiple Facility Voltages
Projects may require 120V, 230V, 277V, 347V or 480V input platforms.
Sensor & Dimming Compatibility
Microwave, PIR, daylight, 0–10V and DALI controls must match the driver interface.
Inventory Complexity
Programmable current and power/CCT DIP switches can reduce the number of driver SKUs.
Harsh Industrial Environments
Dust, humidity, low temperature, oil mist and electrical surges affect reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Key questions for UFO and linear high bay manufacturers, industrial lighting brands and project engineers.
How do I select an LED driver for a high bay light?
Match the driver’s constant-current operating window to the LED board minimum, nominal and maximum forward voltage, output current, input voltage, power, thermal conditions, dimming interface and target certification.
What is the difference between a UFO and linear high bay driver?
UFO fixtures often require compact round or die-cast driver integration and higher LED voltage, while linear high bays may use internal rectangular drivers and lower-voltage, higher-current LED boards.
When is a 347V or 480V high bay driver required?
Use these platforms when the facility distribution system supplies 347V or 480V. The selected driver must be explicitly rated for the actual input range.
Can a high bay driver power an occupancy sensor?
Yes, when the driver includes a compatible auxiliary output and the sensor’s voltage and current requirements are within that output rating.
How is high bay driver power calculated?
Nominal LED power is approximately nominal forward voltage multiplied by output current and channel count. Driver rating must also account for maximum LED voltage, utilization limit and thermal derating.
Can one driver cover multiple fixture powers?
Yes, when output current can be programmed or switched and every setting remains inside the driver’s voltage, current, power and thermal operating limits.
What dimming method is common for high bay lighting?
0–10V is common in industrial projects, while PWM, DALI and sensor-controlled interfaces may also be used. The driver, sensor and controller must be electrically compatible.
What information should I send for a driver recommendation?
Send input voltage, LED voltage range, target current, fixture type, power, control method, sensor details, auxiliary-power requirement, environment, housing dimensions, quantity and target market.
