Votatec's UFO LED lights replace old metal halide and HPS bell fixtures with something that actually makes sense: instant brightness, 100,000+ hour lifespan, and around 65-70% lower energy bills. No warm-up time. No ballast failures. No expensive lift rentals every few months to swap out dead lamps.
The round, flat design throws light in a 360° pattern, covering areas up to 50 feet in diameter from a single mounting point. Available from 100W to 500W (13,000 to 70,000 lumens), they handle everything from small auto shops to full-scale manufacturing plants.
Every fixture is DLC Premium certified and backed by a 10-year warranty. That means maximum utility rebates across Canadian provinces.

UFO LED Lights for Warehouses and Manufacturing
For big open floors without defined aisles, UFO high bays are usually the better pick over linear fixtures. The round shape gives you even coverage in all directions, which matters when equipment moves around regularly. Forklifts, pallets, workstations - they don't always stay in the same spot.
Mount them anywhere from 20 to 50 feet high. Each fixture covers a 30 to 50 foot diameter, depending on wattage and beam angle. You've got options: 60°, 90°, or 120° optics. Narrower beam for higher ceilings, wider for lower ones.
A few things that matter for manufacturing:
- CRI 80-90+ for quality inspections and colour-accurate tasks
- IP65 sealed housing for dusty or damp environments
- Microwave motion sensors that cut energy use by about 60% in low-traffic zones
- 0-10V dimming for areas where you need adjustable light levels
- Compact profile that keeps clearance for overhead cranes
Works well in automotive assembly, metal fabrication, plastics molding, aerospace, and pretty much any facility with tall ceilings and heavy equipment.
UFO Lighting for Gyms, Retail, and Shops
Sports Facilities
Gyms and rec centres need light that doesn't flicker. Sounds obvious, but older fixtures flicker enough to cause headaches during competitive play. UFO LEDs run completely flicker-free with instant restart - no 15-minute wait if power blips during a game.
Shatterproof diffusers are standard, which matters when basketballs and volleyballs are flying around. You also get glare-controlled optics and dimming zones, so you can light the court at full brightness while keeping spectator areas softer.
Retail and Shop Lighting
For retail lighting and workshops, bright even light makes products (and projects) look better. Colour temperature options from 3500K to 5000K let you set the mood - warmer for showrooms, cooler for workbenches. High CRI means colours look accurate, not washed out.
Add occupancy sensors in stockrooms and back areas. Lights drop to 10% when nobody's there, then ramp back up instantly. Easy energy savings without thinking about it.
What Makes UFO LED Lights Better Than Metal Halide?
1- Eliminate Maintenance Costs
Metal halide fixtures create constant maintenance: lamps lasting 6,000-10,000 hours requiring annual replacement, ballasts failing every 2-3 years, expensive lift rentals, and production disruptions. Votatec UFO LED lights transform maintenance with 100,000+ hour lifespan (11+ years of 24/7 operation), zero lamp replacements, integrated LED drivers eliminating external ballasts, sealed construction preventing damage, and instant-on technology. A 150,000 sq ft plant with 120 metal halide fixtures spends $15,000-$20,000 annually on maintenance. Convert to UFO lights LED: zero expenses for a decade, saving $150,000-$200,000. Facilities can also consider LED retrofit kits for existing housings, though complete LED UFO lights replacement provides better long-term value.
2- Energy Savings: UFO LED vs Metal Halide
Energy Comparison:
- 400W Metal Halide vs 150W LED UFO light: 62.5% reduction
- 750W Metal Halide vs 240W UFO lights LED: 68% reduction
- 1000W Metal Halide vs 320W UFO LED lighting: 68% reduction
Facility operating 5,000 hours annually with 100 × 400W fixtures: $28,000 energy cost. Replace with 150W UFO LED lights: $10,500 cost. Annual savings: $17,500 per facility. Beyond direct energy savings, LED UFO lights generate 70% less heat, reducing HVAC loads $3,000-$8,000 annually.
3- Light Quality and Performance
Metal halide produces poor UFO lighting with 15-minute warm-up, color shift as lamps age, 30-50% lumen depreciation, 10-15 minute restart delays, and increasing flicker. Votatec UFO lights LED deliver instant 100% brightness in any temperature (-40°C to +50°C), consistent 5000K-5700K color for entire 100,000+ hour LED UFO light life, L90 rating maintaining 90% lumens after 50,000 hours, instant restart with UFO LED lights, and completely silent zero-flicker operation.
4- Proven Performance
A metal fabrication facility replaced 150 × 400W metal halide fixtures with Votatec 150W UFO LED lights: 187,500 kWh saved (62.5% reduction), $26,250 energy savings, $18,000 maintenance elimination, $6,400 HVAC savings, totaling $50,650 annual benefit. Investment: $112,500 minus $45,000 rebate equals $67,500 net with 16-month payback. Improvements included 24% fewer quality defects, 31% injury rate decline, 19% satisfaction improvement, enhanced crane operator visibility, and insurance premium reduction.
