round or linear high bays

[la-electrician]

hello all, new to the forum
going to retrofit a warehouse with new LED high bay lights...what is the real difference between using a round style or the fluorescent style linear high bays?....is there an advantage of one over the other? they seem to do the same thing to me.

You don't have to worry about round ones rotating out of square, or hanging out of level (usually)

Exactly James L. I installed over 600 linear square high-bays in a battery plant. 20% of the work load was tweaking them to be either plumb or level, or straight. And when you are on a scissor lift they look level, when on the ground they don't. Let gravity do the work, go with round.
