Industrial lighting manufacturer, Larson Electronics LLC, has announced the release of a new 250-watt high bay LED light fixture. This light emits 36,000 lumens of white light and operates on 100-277V AC. This cold-foraged LED fixture is extremely durable, ideal for outdoor lighting, wet locations, commercial spaces, offices, medical centers and many other general lighting applications.
The Larson Electronics’ GAU-HB-50L-LED-WP-WCM high bay LED provides operators with a powerful and energy efficient alternative to traditional and bulky, high maintenance cost fixtures. A special heat dissipating design and LED technology helps this high bay fixture provide 36,000 lumens of high quality white light while only consuming 250 watts, and an excellent 50,000 hour rated lifespan with a CRI of 80. Color temperature options include: 3000K, 4000K, 5000K or 5700K. This LED projects a 90° beam angle for great flood lighting. The GAU-HB-50L-LED-WP-WCM was made using a cold forging technique enhancing the lamps’ thermal resistance features.
The GAU-HB-50L-LED-WP-WCM high bay light fixture is IP65 rated, suitable for outdoor and humid industrial environments where high quality elevated lighting is required. At just 5.24 pounds, the lightweight and compact body is constructed of aluminum that is corrosion-resistant and provides excellent durability, as well as resistance to vibration and impact. An acrylic (PC) lens. This high bay fixture can be hook, bracket and pipe mounted. When secured in a mounting bracket the light can be rotated 180 degrees.
“The process of cold foraging has certain advantages over hot foraging, one being the enhancement of the metal’s thermal resistance,” says Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics LLC. “Cold foraging deforms the metal while the metal is below its recrystallization point, making the process cheaper and the metal less susceptible to contamination.”
