Best Lighting Products is recalling more than 700,000 High Bay LED light Fixtures due to fire risk
July 28, 2024
Another huge recall deserves your attention.
Best Lighting Products is recalling about 710,600 LED High Bay light fixtures and, in addition, about 19,100 were sold in Canada.
Plastic pins securing the LED board can degrade, allowing the energized LED board to come loose and contact the lens or combustible materials, posing a fire risk.
The firm has received three reports of fires involving the recalled fixtures. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Best Lighting Products LEDFHB line of high bay light fixtures in 90, 105, 135, 178, 180, 215, 265, 320 and 425 watts. These lights were sold in white, and are typically used in commercial settings, such as warehouses and facilities with high ceilings.
The following model numbers are included in this recall: LEDFHB90, LEDFHB105, LEDFHB135, LEDFHB178, LEDFHB180, LEDFHB215, LEDFHB265, LEDFHB320, and LEDFHB425. The model name and number can be found on a label on the back of the recalled fixtures.
The lights were sold only through Best Lighting Products distributors from May 2017 through May 2024. The cost was between $60 and $180, depending on size, wattage, and accessories.
Consumers should immediately inspect the fixture for any sign of pin degradation, a loose LED board, or discoloration of the lens, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise.
Consumers should immediately stop using light fixtures that show any sign of a loose LED board or discoloration of the lens, and turn the circuit off.
