Inside the Thanos

Six parts, each with a job.

A sealed driver on top, a die-cast heatsink in the middle and the optics underneath.

01 Eye bolt & fixings

Hang it and forget it.

A threaded eye bolt takes a hook or chain straight from the roof structure. For surface or angled mounting, a U-bracket is available.

02 Driver housing

A sealed Sosen driver, set on site.

The driver sits on four posts above the heatsink, away from the LED heat. Unscrew the front cap to set it to 200W, 150W or 100W.

6kV surge
100 to 264Vac

03 Heatsink

Die-cast ADC12 aluminium.

Radial fins carry heat away from the LED board. That is how it holds its output for 50 000 hours at L90B20.

05 Gasket

IP65 sealed.

A continuous gasket between the lens and the heatsink keeps out dust and water jets, so it suits dusty production floors and cold stores.

Storage -30°C to 70°C

06 Lens

90° or 110° optics.

Each LED has its own lens that shapes an even beam. Choose 90° for high ceilings, 110° to spread wider below about 7 m. The whole fitting is rated IK10.

Lighting by application

What lighting does your building need?

Any space with a ceiling of about 6 m or more is usually lit with high bays. Find yours below: each answer gives the light level to aim for and the fitting we would start with.

Warehouse & distribution centre lighting

Bulk storage and open floor areas under a high roof. UFO high bays on a regular grid give even light between the racks and across the floor.

Aim for: 100 to 150 lx
Start with: Thanos, Sierra G2

How it is worked out: the lumen method, using the room index from your floor size and height above the working plane, a utilisation factor for the surfaces you chose, a maintenance factor for the environment, and the rated datasheet lumens (not the higher measured ones). Spacing is checked against the height so there are no dark bands between fittings. It is a sound first count for budgeting; a full lighting design confirms uniformity, racking and roof lights.

Pay for the light you actually need

Most buildings are over-lit somewhere. Setting each Thanos to the output its area needs cuts the electricity bill without changing a single fitting. Compare the three settings against the 400W metal halide high bays they usually replace.

Buying guide

Choosing warehouse lighting

Four decisions settle most high bay projects: the light level the work needs, the mounting height, the beam and the environment.

1. Light level

Light is measured on the floor or work surface in lux. Bulk storage needs far less than assembly or inspection, and specifying more than the task needs just costs energy. The table gives typical targets.

2. Mounting height

High bays are built for ceilings from about 6 m. The higher the fitting, the more lumens each one needs and the further apart they can go. As a guide, the Thanos covers roughly 6 m to 13 m, and the Lumina goes higher.

3. Beam

A narrower beam keeps light on the floor from a high ceiling; a wider one spreads it from a lower one. Choose 90° from about 7 m and 110° below. Narrow racking aisles light best with a linear high bay and an aisle optic, which puts light onto the rack faces rather than the tops.

4. Environment

Dust, moisture, cold and forklifts all decide the rating you need. IP65 keeps out dust and water jets and IK10 withstands impact. Read our IP ratings guide for what each rating means in practice.

Typical light levels by area
Area	Typical target
Warehouse, bulk storage	100 to 150 lx
High racking aisles (manned)	150 lx
Loading bays	150 lx
Packing and dispatch	300 lx
Factory, general assembly	300 lx
Retail, big-box sales floor	300 lx
Sports hall, training	300 lx
Workshop, fine work	500 lx

Typical maintained illuminance from EN 12464-1 (workplaces) and EN 12193 (sports). In South Africa, SANS 10114-1 applies. Tell us the standard your project is specified to and we will design to it.

Replacing metal halide? A 400W metal halide fitting draws about 450W with its gear. A Thanos at 200W typically replaces it at under half the power, with no warm-up delay. Work out your own saving with our ROI calculator, or read LED high bays vs traditional lighting.

FAQ

High bay questions

What is the best lighting for a factory or warehouse?

For ceilings of about 6 m and higher, LED high bays are the standard choice. Warehouses are usually lit to 100 to 150 lux and factory production areas to about 300 lux. A UFO high bay such as the Thanos suits open floors, and a linear high bay suits narrow racking aisles.

What lighting is used in a depot?

Inside a truck, bus or logistics depot, high bays mounted in the roof light the shed and service bays. The yard and aprons outside are lit with floodlights on poles or walls, and covered fuel or loading canopies with canopy lights.

Can Mesmerize supply high bays for a government or private tender?

Yes. We supply contractors and specifiers on public and private projects with datasheets, IES and LDT files, full lighting designs and, per model on request, test reports and NRCS Letters of Authority. A copy-ready specification clause for the Thanos is on this page.

How many LED high bays do I need for my warehouse?

It depends on the floor area, the mounting height and the light level the work needs. As a rule of thumb, general warehousing is lit to about 150 lux and packing or assembly areas to about 300 lux. Use the layout estimator on this page for a first count, then send us your floor plan and we will confirm it with a full lighting design.

What mounting height is a high bay for?

High bays are made for ceilings from about 6 m upwards. Below that, a low bay or a linear fitting usually gives more even light. The Thanos covers roughly 6 m to 13 m; above 13 m the Lumina (320W or 480W) often does the job with fewer fittings.

Should I choose a 90 degree or 110 degree beam?

Higher ceilings need a narrower beam to put the light on the floor instead of the walls. A 90 degree optic suits mounting heights of about 7 m and above; 110 degrees spreads wider and suits lower ceilings. The Thanos is available with either optic.

What does power selectable mean on the Thanos?

The driver has a switch under a screw cap, so one fitting can run at 200W, 150W or 100W (or 150W, 120W or 80W on the 150W model). You can order one product for the whole building and set each fitting on site to suit its ceiling height.

How much energy does an LED high bay save over metal halide?

A 400W metal halide fitting draws about 450W with its gear. A Thanos set to 200W puts out 38 000 lumens, which typically replaces it at under half the power, with no warm-up delay. Use our ROI calculator for your own running hours and tariff.

Are UFO high bays suitable for cold rooms and dusty areas?

The Thanos is sealed to IP65 against dust and water jets, rated IK10 for impact and runs from -30 degrees C to 50 degrees C, so it suits cold storage, dusty production areas and busy loading bays.

What warranty do Mesmerize high bays carry?

The Thanos carries a 5-year warranty and is rated for 50 000 hours at L90B20. Warranty on other models is listed on each product page.

Can I get IES files for a lighting design?

Yes. Every Thanos power setting and optic has been tested on a goniophotometer, and the IES and LDT files are free to download on this page for your lighting design software.
