High Bay light w/10' ceilings

[MrBreeze]

I've got a few High Bay LED lights that I'm not using and thinking of installing in a garage with 10' flat sheetrock ceiling - but rather than pointing straight down where the spot would be too bright, I'm thinking of putting them in the corners pointing up and reflecting off the ceiling. Was curious if anyone else had done something similar?

It's not totally uncommon to do it. You might still get some glare off the ceiling, being that the source will be so close to it. You could also make them slightly off level to help mitigate that some.

I have 4 High Bay flat panels in my open pole barn. From the slab to the light face is 10'-6" plus of minus. The lights are similar to the ones you have linked. I have no issues with the lights. I would be tempted to mount these flush and see how they work.

I've got (3) of this one mounted in my garage right now on ceilings that range from 10' to 11' and have 2 more I want to get mounted for now...eventually plan on 8 of them. These are just hung from the ceiling so parallel to floor.

Interesting to hear that some high-bay lights actually work well in a "low-bay" setting. Thanks for the comments.

You can't mount those fixtures flush as they will overheat. You would need to use a standoff bracket that puts the top of the fixture about 4" down from the ceiling, hang them from chains, or use a pendant mount.
