Plain-English summary

Best Lighting Products Inc. (BLP) of Pataskala, Ohio, is recalling its LEDFHB line of high bay light fixtures in wattages of 90, 105, 135, 178, 180, 215, 265, 320, and 425 watts. These fixtures were sold in white and are typically used in commercial settings such as warehouses and facilities with high ceilings.

The recalled fixtures can develop a fire hazard due to plastic pins that secure the LED board. These pins can degrade over time, allowing the energized LED board to come loose and contact the lens or combustible materials inside the fixture. The firm has received three reports of fires involving the recalled fixtures, though no injuries have been reported.

The fixtures were sold exclusively through Best Lighting Products distributors from May 2017 through May 2024 at prices ranging from $60 to $180, depending on size, wattage, and accessories. Approximately 710,600 units were sold in the United States, with an additional approximately 19,100 units sold in Canada.

Consumers should immediately inspect their fixtures for signs of pin degradation, a loose LED board, or lens discoloration. If any of these signs are present, consumers should immediately stop using the fixture and turn off the circuit. Consumers can contact Best Lighting Products at 888-204-9905 toll-free anytime, or visit www.highbayrecall.net or www.bestlighting.net to register online for a free inspection and on-site repair to replace the plastic pins with metal pins.
