Good day this is the first time I am using this forum and I am looking forward to getting some feedback.  We are busy looking at changing our lights to be more effective in our factory.  I am busy doing a risk assessment and not finding much to go on. Has anyone considered LED High Bay lights and can they be used in our plastic manufacturing food industry?

As long as they are shatterproof, why not?
