We recently introduced Aisle Lighter optics for the DuraGuard HB44 and HB45 LED Highbays. These high performance optics replace up to 1000w MH and provide superior lumen maintenance and vertical rack illumination. In one warehouse application, four 273-watt HB45 fixtures were used to replace seven 400-watt MH highbays, resulting in a 63% energy savings alone. The MH system had a 21.5 maintained foot-candle average, while the new LED system will produce a 33.7 maintained average.

Coming soon from DuraGuard are 30-degree optics for LED highbays and flood lights. These will produce highly concentrated light distributions that provide increased foot-candle levels for specialty applications. The HB44 and HB45 highbay versions will be useful for very high ceiling applications such as aircraft hangars, aircraft manufacturing, and convention centers with mounting heights above 35 feet. The flood light series will provide accent lighting for flagpoles, tall building facades, and outdoor architectural lighting where fixtures must be mounted at distances of 30 feet or more from the lighted area.
