UGR stands for Unified Glare Rating and it measures how bright a light source is in a given environment. High UGR can cause eye strain, headaches and reduced productivity. In this post, you will discover four ways to reduce UGR for UFO high bay lights and create a more comfortable and efficient lighting system for your warehouse, factory, gym, etc.
Adding PC reflector or Aluminum reflector.
These reflectors can help to direct the light downward and reduce the glare from the light source. They can also improve the uniformity and efficiency of the lighting system. See below.

Using milky lens.
A milky lens can help to diffuse the light and soften the brightness of the light source. It can also create a more cozy and warm atmosphere for the space. However, a milky lens may also reduce the light output and efficiency of the lighting system. Therefore, it is important to consider the trade-off between UGR and luminous efficacy when choosing a milky lens. See below.
Use honeycomb reflector inside of light engine.
A honeycomb reflector is a type of reflector that has a hexagonal pattern of cells that can reflect and redirect the light. By using a honeycomb reflector inside of the light engine, the UFO high bay light can reduce UGR and improve the visual comfort of the space. A honeycomb reflector can also enhance the aesthetics and design of the light fixture. See below.
Install UFO HB upside down to have indirect light
One of the most unconventional ways to reduce UGR for UFO high bay lights is to install them upside down and have them reflect the light off the ceiling or the wall. This way, the light source is hidden from direct view and the light is more evenly distributed. This can create a more pleasant and natural lighting effect for the space.
