CL HBL 12 is Carden Lighting's linear LED high bay in 2 ft and 4 ft formats, the long body that lines up with the rack aisle or the building bay. Every fixture carries three power steps and two color temperatures selected on the unit: when mounting height or area use changes, the fixture is recalibrated on site instead of replaced. Six platforms span 80 to 300 W with up to 47,400 lm per point at 148–172 lm/W. Triple voltage 120-277 V, 120-347 V and 277-480 V, 0-10 V dim-to-off, integrated sensor base, frosted diffuser as standard, optional polycarbonate lens and wire guard, optional 90-minute emergency battery, cULus damp location listing, DLC 6.0 Premium and a 5-year warranty.

Where it's used
Wide-bay industrial facilities and manufacturing plants: the 4 ft body spreads output lengthwise instead of concentrating it at one point, covering the bay width with fewer points and less contrast over the work line. The three steps let you tune the level by zone without changing models.Warehouses and distribution centers with aisles between racks: the linear format aligned with the aisle is the natural geometry of storage, so light reaches down between the shelves instead of staying up high. The step is adjusted when the layout changes, without replacing the fixture.High bay and mid bay areas (5 to 12 m ceilings); two formats and four power platforms cover 80 to 300 W within the same series, so a building with mixed heights is solved with a single product line.Gyms, indoor courts and indoor sports areas: the wire guard available for each format protects the fixture from ball impact, and the linear distribution reduces direct glare over the court.Workshops, maintenance areas and loading docks: the 2 ft format at 105 or 165 W fits spaces where a full high bay would be oversized, while keeping the same control and color temperature criteria as the rest of the building.Big-box retail, large-format stores and back rooms: 4000 K for the sales floor or 5000 K for the stockroom, with the same fixture; the DLC listing opens incentive programs on North American projects.HBL family (High Bay Linear): linear industrial high bay fixtures for industrial facilities, warehouses and high-ceiling spaces.CL HBL 12 introduces 2 ft and 4 ft formats to the family, which did not exist before: CL HBL 10 comes in 1.2 / 1.7 / 2.4 ft and CL HBL 8 measures 340 mm. It is the choice when the project calls for a long body aligned with the aisle or the building bay.Compared with CL HBL 10: the 4 ft, 300 W platform delivers 46,200 lm, practically the same output as CL-HBL10-4-270W (46,500 lm) at almost the same wattage; the real difference is the format (4 ft versus 1.7 ft) and nothing else: both series are DLC Premium, so the listing tier no longer separates them. Specify CL HBL 12 when the long-body geometry drives the decision.Compared with CL HBL 11: CL HBL 11 brings four wattage steps and up to 170 lm/W in short formats; CL HBL 12 brings the long 2 and 4 ft formats. They coexist in the same project.Series range: 80–300 W · up to 47,400 lm · 148–172 lm/W · cULus damp · DLC 6.0 Premium · 5-year warranty.NOM-025-STPS (lighting levels in workplaces): the three steps and two formats let you reach the level required by task and mounting height; the level is defined with a Carden photometric study.Location rating: damp location (cULus) and IP20, for indoor use.
Featured benefits
  • Adapts on site without replacing equipment; wattage and color temperature are adjusted on the installed fixture when the height, layout or use of the area changes.
  • The long 2 and 4 ft body spreads output along the aisle or building bay instead of concentrating it at one point: less glare and a more even light pattern.
  • Up to 47,400 lm per point in the 4 ft format, at 148–172 lm/W.
  • cULus for damp locations and DLC 6.0 Premium: the safety listing for the United States and Canada, and the DLC level that unlocks the highest incentive programs in North America.
  • Triple voltage: 120-277 V, 120-347 V and 277-480 V; the same series fits commercial and industrial panels without changing families.
  • Control-ready: 0-10 V dimming down to off and a sensor base built in as standard, with a Zhaga adapter, occupancy sensor and remote control available.
  • Wire guard per format: direct protection against ball impact in gyms and indoor courts, and against equipment at loading docks.
  • 90-minute emergency backup available from the factory for evacuation routes inside the facility.

The same 2 ft body covers 12,800 to 35,550 lm
and the 4 ft one from 20,950 to 47,400 lm without changing fixtures: the platform is chosen at purchase and the step at installation.
4000 K delivers 2 % to 4 % more output than 5000 K
Across the series. When the project does not require a specific color temperature, 4000 K delivers more lumens per watt.
