It's with that horrible reality in mind that we regretfully inform you that the spinning "loading" icon we all know and hate is officially called the "throbber," which must be the worst weirdly-sexual-sounding name for a tech thing since the "dongle."

UFO LED lights last longer than fluorescent or HID lighting (unless you buy extremely check fixtures with poor quality ballasts. LED lights have no filaments so they will not break if dropped, which means LED light bulbs can last over 100,000 hours. 100,000 hours is equivalent to 11 years working 24/7 meaning it lasts twice longer than a fluorescent bulb and 20 times longer than incandescent light bulbs. Keep in mind, just because we say our fixtures are rated 60,000 hours, this doesn’t mean that when they break. Most LED chips last twice as long as the “rated” lifespan.

"We investigated how the components of throbbers (e.g., presented durations, rotational velocities, and size) affected users’ perception of waiting time," the researchers from Meiji University wrote in their paper, which was presented at a 2020 conference. "As a result, we observed that the participants felt that throbbers with a slower rotational velocity had a shorter duration regardless of size when the presented duration was rather short, like 5 seconds."

"I've worked in software development and the corresponding graphics/UX space for over a decade," one user posted, "and I have never called these throbbers nor heard anyone else call them a throbber."

High bay ufo lights are more efficient also. Metal halide bulbs do not retain their energy heat meaning if you own a temperature controlled environment you will save on cooling costs aswell. LED based lighting dissipates a lower amount of heat, adding an extra benefit to any indoor space.

"At [M]ozilla everyone called it a throbber," they wrote, "but by the time [I] was creating and maintaining a design system, people *hated* that name, so we ended up calling it a spinner instead."

Providing a bit more context, the developer, who goes by the moniker Kourge, added that this "was also in the era when 'chrome' meant 'the browser’s user interface' (contrasting 'content') instead of 'browser made by google.'"

Although our pricing isn’t very expensive compared to overpriced sellers like RAB, we guarantee you we’re not the cheapest out there – for good reason. We decided to personally test 12 ebay sellers offerings and put their fixtures through the same rigorous testing our products go through to meet our quality standards. Of the 12 original sellers, 7 orders failed at least one of the tests, whether it be IP65 rating or false lumen per watt efficiency claims. For the remaining 5 vendors, we decided to warehouse the items and wait for 6 months to test their warranty claims – because they all claimed 3-7 year warranties. When we ended up contacting them, we were surprised to find three of the five remaining candidates closed their accounts and the final two wouldn’t honor the warranty because feedback had already been left and the time to file a claim had expired. In any case, whether you buy from us or somewhere else, make sure to buy from a reputable company rather than somebody who can disappear overnight.

There is only so much we can do on our part to prevent defects, but there is several things you can do to make your investment last for 20+ years. For example, temperature has a lot to do with longevity of your fixture – installations in the Mojave desert won’t last nearly as long as ones in Alaska. Cooler temperatures are better for diode lifetime. Although it’s not always under your control, you can ask us about fixtures made for high temperature environments. They will typically have a larger die-cast aluminum design made for extreme temperature environments that will last you much longer than a typical fixture.

Recently, people on the site formerly known as Twitter discovered the unfortunate name of what we'd all been referring to as some variation of the "loading icon" in our heads for decades, taking it about as well as you'd expect.

So ingrained is the concept behind the throbber that a group of Japanese researchers who study computer-human interactions published a paper about how differing throbber speeds affect users' perception of time.

Indeed, as PC Mag's encyclopedia so helpfully defines, the throbber is an "animated icon that notifies the user that an operation is taking place in the background, such as when an application is loading or a Web page is downloading."

Speaking of time, we help you waste less time and spend less money on maintenance. Our UFO high bay lights require no maintenance and our defect rate after one year is only 0.05%, meaning you have better bottom line without having to call you electrician on a regular basis. Getting the right high bay UFO LED light isn’t always easy but our experts can help you get the right fit for your application. Feel free to call, email or chat with us at anytime.

Our high bay led ballasts do not have a humming sound, we only use the top rated drivers to ensure a quite work or warehouse space. They are silent and will not be causing any distractions. They will not tick or have a pinging sound as well which can be bothersome for those who can hear it.

Yet another benefit to our lights, is the instant on feature. You no longer have to wait for your high bay fixtures to “heat up” before being able to work in ample light. We know time is money!

Our UFO lights also come in many color temperatures and even many ring colors. They are “true colors” that are bright and are not filtered like your typical cool white (4500k) lights or more warm white options that not nearly as popular due to lower efficiency.

Another benefit of light emitting diodes, is that they are safer and more reliable. They generally have a much less risk of fire with the use safer setups. They are also made in a solid state, which means they are more durable and can’t be “broken”.

A site can be called "Twitter" for more than a decade and then suddenly have its name changed to "X," e-commerce platforms can have entirely made-up names like "Grailed" and "Depop," and an everyday icon that we generally take for granted can have a name that makes it sound like some sort of sex toy.

Most items ship within 2 business days unless stated otherwise. Free shipping may require up to 2 weeks before delivery. All custom items will have stated lead times on the product page.

While the gradiented grey or black throbbers are the ones we're used to, there are lots of varieties to choose from that change the standard icon's color, speed, and even direction.

One thing many buyers look over if the beam angle of lights. Some spaces need more focused light so choosing a 60 degree beam angle is probably your best bet. On the other hand, most people opt in for 120 degree to ensure smooth transition between light sources and a high coverage. Lower beam angles require less lumens as they are pointed in a more directional way, while larger beam angles will more efficiently light a bigger space.

Replacing old lights with new UFO LED fixtures has many benefits. I will be outlining some reasons. You will find that once you have LED lights you will be happier with your lighting overall and your investment will pay itself back in a shorter period of time than you expect. It will be more powerful and extremely efficient.

Models below are meant for special use scenarios, for example linear models are great for installing into high warehouse racks that would otherwise block light coming from the ceiling (think home depot).

Symbols, as anyone who's read or watched "The Da Vinci Code" recalls, are meant to convey information — and the throbber is no different from the wifi logo or the dollar sign in the breadth of messaging it contains.

We offer a wide range of options to ensure you have the perfect fixture for your application – select from efficiency ratings, ring colors, beam angles and brightness.

For applications that require rigid and tough lighting, UFO LED lights are the top choice. Our disk lights are IP65 rated so you can use them both outdoors and indoors without worrying about water seeping in. UFO Lights are perfect for stadiums, warehouses and any areas that require tons of light at a low cost. A 100 watt UFO disk is a perfect replacement for a 400 watt metal halide fixture at the same price – and that’s not counting the rebates or energy savings you’ll get from using them! You might as well forget replacing bulbs as these lights will last 20 years if used 8 hours a day.

Sometimes you need less light than you bargained for, with our high bay lights you no longer have to worry. With both 0-10v dimming and PWM standard on our dimming models, we ensure you can dim your lights down to as little as 10% without losing any change in efficiency or any noticeable change in color temperature. Our lighting will actually last longer if you dim them to a lower brightness unlike standard bulbs.
