The latest generation of Thorn’s HiPak industrial high bay luminaire represents a significant leap forward in performance, efficiency, and return on investment. Designed as a powerful one-for-one replacement for conventional high bays, HiPak combines high efficacy, durable construction, and advanced control options to deliver a versatile lighting solution for large-scale industrial and retail applications. Offering an efficiency of up to 181 lm/W and lumen packages ranging from 10,000 to 35,000 lm, HiPak enables rapid payback through reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs, making it a compelling choice for retrofit projects and new installations alike.
HiPak is available in three sizes and offers two precision light distributions to suit different environments. The wide beam version is ideal for open areas such as manufacturing floors, logistics centers, or large warehouses, where uniform coverage and high levels of illumination are essential. The rack beam version, on the other hand, is tailored for racking and shelving applications, ensuring even vertical illumination to optimize visibility and safety in picking aisles. Specially designed reflectors and optional refractor accessories, including translucent polycarbonate and solid aluminium versions, enhance visual comfort and appearance, making HiPak equally well-suited for retail environments where lighting quality and aesthetics are critical.
Durability is at the core of HiPak’s design. Its die-cast aluminium housing, sealed to IP65, protects against dust and moisture, while the IK08 impact resistance rating ensures resilience in demanding industrial conditions. The polycarbonate lens offers long-lasting transparency and strength, while the fully recyclable aluminium body underscores a commitment to sustainability. HiPak’s robust construction ensures reliable operation in environments where heat, dust, and mechanical stresses can compromise lesser luminaires. With a service life of 100,000 hours (L80), it minimizes downtime and replacement costs, ensuring long-term value.
Control and connectivity are key features of the HiPak range. Multiple options allow facilities to maximize energy savings, from standard on/off and DALI dimming to advanced solutions such as basicDIM Bluetooth® wireless control. This wireless option enables quick and easy group control of luminaires without the need for rewiring, ideal for refurbishment projects. Presence detection and daylight harvesting functions are supported through integrated passive infrared (PIR) or microwave (MWS) sensors, enabling intelligent, responsive lighting tailored to real-world use. Corridor functions and grouping features further enhance efficiency, ensuring light is available where and when it is needed. For even greater integration, HiPak can be connected to centralized systems such as LITECOM, providing full energy management capabilities.
Flexibility in installation is another defining strength of HiPak. The luminaire supports a range of mounting options, including surface, suspension, and wall mounting, with accessories such as stirrups, rods, chains, and catenary systems available. All luminaires come pre-wired with quick-connect plugs for fast, tool-free installation. Rack beam versions can be paired with dedicated rod suspension to maintain precise positioning in racking areas, ensuring that airflow or vibration does not disturb alignment. HiPak is also available in versions adapted for mounting onto Thorn’s Contus trunking system, arriving pre-assembled with twist-and-lock mechanical and electrical connections to further reduce installation time.
HiPak is engineered not only to deliver exceptional performance but also to adapt seamlessly to the specific requirements of modern industrial and commercial facilities. Whether illuminating vast open spaces in a logistics hub, ensuring precise lighting in racking systems, or creating visually comfortable retail environments, HiPak provides a tailored solution with unmatched efficiency and flexibility. Its combination of high lumen output, optimized optics, advanced controls, and durable construction makes it a future-ready investment in safe, efficient, and sustainable lighting.
