High bay fixture product attributes

High bay fixtures are bought for warehouses, factories and gyms where mounting height, ambient heat and rack layout drive the choice. Suppliers sell round and linear forms, fixed and switchable outputs, and a range of optics, but their data often leads with a wattage that no longer describes the product. Many current models let the installer select wattage and color temperature on site, so one catalog number can deliver several lumen levels.

The values that separate a good fit from a bad one are often in footnotes: the ambient temperature at which ratings apply, the lumen maintenance basis, the beam distribution for aisles versus open floor, and whether the lens is glass or polycarbonate for food or cold-storage areas. DLC qualification is tied to specific configurations and a version of the technical requirements, not to the family as a whole.

This template keeps configuration settings, measured performance, mounting and control options, and listing evidence in separate fields. That supports like-for-like replacement of legacy HID or fluorescent fixtures and quick rebate checks, with each value taken from the manufacturer's current specification sheet, photometric file or qualified-products listing.

The high bay fixtures attribute template

18 candidate fields in 5 groups, ordered the way a record gets built: identify the item, capture its specifications, then record fit and the evidence behind any claim. 8 are marked Core: without them the item cannot be identified or filtered. Example values show the expected format only; they do not describe a real SKU.

Identity

Which exact item, variant and pack this record describes.

Check before use: Preserve leading zeros and punctuation, validate against the manufacturer record, and check the GTIN check digit and packaging level before linking.

Attribute	Type	Priority	Example format
Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) manufacturer_part_number_mpn	Identifier	Core	HB-R150-50K-WD
GTIN / UPC gtin_upc	Identifier	Core	10812345150008

Technical specifications

Measured or rated values that must travel with their unit and test conditions.

Check before use: Store the number and unit separately. Convert only when the source unit and test conditions are known.

Attribute	Type	Priority	Example format
Delivered Lumens delivered_lumens	Number · lm	Core	22200
Input Wattage (System) input_wattage_system	Number · W	Core	150
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) correlated_color_temperature_cct	Controlled list · K	Core	5000 K
Input Voltage Range input_voltage_range	Controlled list · V	Core	120-277 VAC
Efficacy efficacy	Number · lm/W	Buyer decision	148
Color Rendering Index (CRI) color_rendering_index_cri	Number	Buyer decision	80
Ambient Operating Temperature Range ambient_operating_temperature_range	Text · °C	Buyer decision	-40 °C to +55 °C
IP Rating ip_rating	Controlled list	Channel / evidence	IP65

Selection attributes

The type, material and option choices buyers filter and compare on.

Check before use: Map supplier wording to a governed vocabulary only after checking the source text and which variant it applies to.

Attribute	Type	Priority	Example format
Form Factor form_factor	Controlled list	Core	Round (UFO)
Beam Distribution / Beam Angle beam_distribution_beam_angle	Controlled list · °	Buyer decision	120° (wide)
Field-Selectable Wattage / CCT field_selectable_wattage_cct	Text	Buyer decision	Yes: 100 / 125 / 150 W; 4000 / 5000 K

Fit & compatibility

What the item mounts to, mates with, replaces or works alongside.

Check before use: Keep model and series qualifiers. A similar-looking part is not a verified fit until a source says so.

Attribute	Type	Priority	Example format
Mounting Type mounting_type	Controlled list	Core	Hook (chain/cable); pendant kit optional
Dimming & Control Interface dimming_control_interface	Controlled list	Buyer decision	0-10 V, dims to 6%

Evidence & compliance

Listings, standards, classifications and origin claims that need a document behind them.

Check before use: Link the manufacturer document or label with its edition or date. Never copy a certification from a neighboring SKU.

Attribute	Type	Priority	Example format
Safety Listing & Location Rating safety_listing_location_rating	Controlled list	Channel / evidence	cULus (UL 1598, UL 8750); wet location
DLC Classification & QPL ID dlc_classification_qpl_id	Text	Channel / evidence	DLC Premium; product ID and requirements version as shown on the DLC QPL
Country of Origin country_of_origin	Controlled list	Channel / evidence	Mexico

Normalize supplier values

The same value arrives in many spellings. Map each raw string to one governed value, and keep the raw text beside it so a reviewer can see what the supplier actually wrote.

Often missing from supplier files

These fields are commonly absent from price lists and basic feeds, even though the information usually exists in a datasheet, label or installation manual. Treat an empty value as a request for evidence, not as permission to fill it from a similar model.

• Lumen maintenance basis (L-value @ hours @ ambient)
• DLC technical requirements version + QPL ID
• Selectable output table (W/CCT/lm per position)
• Lens material / glass-free construction
• Surge protection rating (kV / kA)

Questions the record must answer

Buyers and counter-sales reps choosing high bay fixtures ask questions like these. Each one needs a specific field, sourced for the exact variant.

• Which distribution works for narrow aisles between tall racks?
• Can this fixture handle the heat near the roof deck in summer?
• Is this exact wattage setting on the DLC list for our rebate?
• Will it hang from the hooks we already have, or does it need a pendant kit?

From supplier file to record

1. Resolve identity first. Link the supplier SKU, manufacturer part number and packaging identifiers without merging distinct variants or pack sizes.
2. Extract with the source attached. Pull values from rows, tables and datasheets, keeping the raw text, unit and page or row reference.
3. Map to your classification. Assign the ETIM, ECLASS, UNSPSC or internal class your company licenses, and keep the supplier's original terms.
4. Review, sync and watch. Hold conflicts and safety-related values for a category expert, write approved values to ERP or PIM, and recheck when the supplier sends a new file.
