For years, the standard method of lighting gymnasiums has been the
400W Metal Halide High Bay. This has led to gyms with deteriorating
light levels and poor playing conditions that are expensive to operate.

Output (T5HO) Fluorescent High Bay Fixtures in place of the more
inefficient metal halide fixtures. This shift has reduced the power
consumption of gymnasium lighting systems, provided better quality
light for all sports activities, and has allowed for a more versatile
environment in school or recreational center gyms.
