This is the first linear high bay I've tried and I'm quite happy with it. I love the white colored body of it. My ceiling is white pole barn steel, 12' high and is a little low for the high bay category but they work perfectly for me.This light surprised me because it is much heavier than all my other high bays. The heavier weight equals better heat dispersion and tends to last much longer. The description says 120 degrees of beam angle but it appears to be a much broader coverage area than that. It's set up for hard wiring, but I put a 3-prong plug on it. There is a minor delay before it lights up and then wow! 240 watts!My writing installation is set up with dimmer capability, but that is not an option for this light. No problem in my scenario... when all the other lights are dimmed this light highlights my airplane.I highly recommend this item!
