Product Highlight: iLumen HexaLux Low Glare High Bay

In many large indoor spaces, achieving the required light level is only part of the job. The bigger challenge is delivering that performance without creating harsh glare for the people actually using the space.

That matters in places such as sports venues, school auditoriums, gymnasiums and premium warehouse environments, where occupants are often looking upwards, moving through the space for long periods, or relying on a comfortable and visually controlled environment to work, perform or compete.

That is where the iLumen HexaLux stands out.

The HexaLux is a premium industrial LED high bay designed around a unique honeycomb optic system to achieve ultra-low glare with UGR <19, while still delivering strong output and high efficiency.

Why Low Glare Matters

Many standard high bays deliver plenty of light, but they can also create a visually harsh environment. In the wrong setting, that can quickly become a problem.

In sports venues and gymnasiums, players and spectators are frequently looking toward the ceiling line. Excessive glare can affect comfort and visibility, particularly in fast-moving indoor sports.

In school halls and auditoriums, the issue is similar. These are often multi-purpose spaces used for assemblies, performances, sport and events. A fitting that provides strong output but poor visual comfort can make the space feel harsher than it needs to.

In higher-end warehouses and logistics facilities, lighting quality also plays an important role. These spaces are no longer just about minimum compliance. Increasingly, clients want industrial lighting that performs well, looks better, and contributes to a more comfortable working environment.

For these types of spaces, a low-glare high bay can make a significant difference to comfort, usability and the overall quality of the lit environment.

The HexaLux addresses that challenge through its honeycomb optic design, combining high output with lower glare and improved visual comfort.

High Performance Without Compromise

Low glare only matters if the fitting still performs where it counts, and this is where the HexaLux remains highly practical.

The range includes a 200W model with selectable power settings of 200W / 160W / 120W, allowing greater flexibility across different applications. Light output is up to 30,400 lumens, with efficacy up to 150 lm/W.

This gives designers and end users the ability to balance output, spacing and application needs more effectively, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all high bay into every project.

Built for Demanding Environments

The HexaLux is not just about optics. It is also built as a robust industrial fitting suited to demanding environments.

Its IP65 / IK10 construction, combined with a large aluminium body and efficient cooling design, makes it suitable for warehouses, factories, gymnasiums and other larger indoor spaces where durability still matters.

Flexible Controls and Easy Integration

Another strength of the HexaLux is its flexibility around controls.

The fitting supports plug-in smart control options, including:

• PIR sensor
• Microwave sensor
• Casambi
• DALI+
• DALI-2 options

This makes the fitting suitable not only for standalone operation, but also for more integrated lighting control strategies where occupancy sensing, wireless control or system-based control are required.

Where HexaLux Fits Best

The HexaLux is particularly well suited to projects where lighting quality and occupant experience matter as much as raw output.

Typical applications include:

• indoor sports venues and gymnasiums
• school halls and auditoriums
• premium warehouse and logistics facilities
• factories and industrial spaces
• large commercial or exhibition areas

Why This Product Stands Out

There are plenty of industrial high bays on the market that can meet a wattage target or deliver a lumen figure.

What makes the iLumen HexaLux more interesting is that it focuses on the quality of the lit environment as well. By addressing glare properly while still providing strong output, robust construction and flexible controls, it suits projects where visual comfort is a real design consideration rather than an afterthought.

For consultants, contractors and end users looking to move beyond a basic industrial fitting, that is a meaningful point of difference.

Application note: The HexaLux is particularly well suited to applications where lower glare and visual comfort are a priority, and its narrower beam distribution contributes to that outcome. For projects requiring wider beam angles, where glare control is less critical, the iLumen Aluma High Bay may be a more suitable option.

Experience the difference for yourself. We have the HexaLux installed in our own warehouse alongside more traditional high bay fittings, and the difference in glare and visual comfort is something that really needs to be seen in person. Looking across the warehouse, the fittings can seem almost as though they are not even on, until you walk directly underneath them.

Our installation is also connected to a DALI+ network, allowing the fittings to automatically respond as you move through the space. If you are considering low-glare high bays for a sports venue, school auditorium, warehouse or other large indoor environment, we are happy to arrange a demonstration so you can see the result for yourself.

Need Help Selecting the Right High Bay?

If you are working on a sports venue, school auditorium, warehouse or other large indoor space and want a high bay that prioritises both performance and occupant comfort, the iLumen HexaLux is well worth considering.
