The Right Lighting Fixtures At The Right Place…

The most important advice you will get when looking at a warehouse lighting solution is the LED light.But why choose LED? Recently, due to their efficiency, many warehouse and garage owners have replaced their traditional fixture with LED High Bay Lights.

A warehouse is a place where you’ll not get any natural light because it is windowless halls and relatively high ceilings which creates more darkness.With the high ceiling, it takes more power intake to light the whole wide space that leads to costly utility bills.

LED warehouse lighting is superior to metal halides and fluorescent lamps.Traditional lighting sources consume high wattage to illuminate the space, but it converts 85% of the intake into heat and the rest into light.

Before we do the lighting solution for the warehouse, let’s look at the specific requirements.

In order to save energy, it is recommended to use an LED lighting solution with a lighting management system with presence detection: the Fixture is only turned on when the person is within the detection range.

Here are some of the things you need for your warehouse space:

Bright light: Since the warehouse is a vast area, it requires a lot of light to see all the visible things. In order to achieve brightness, the luminaire must provide a high lumen output.Power intake: Any luminaire can provide better lighting output, but mainly "How much energy will they consume?".Power consumption must be checked before making any decisions.

Why consider LED high bay lights in warehouses

Traditional luminaires can provide you with a variety of features, but why consider LED high bay lights instead of traditional ones.

*Energy efficiency: LED luminaires do not consume high wattage to reduce the high ceiling space. However, metal halides are used for high energy work and for very fast heating.

*Equivalence: Let us use an example to describe: 150 UFO High Bay light are equivalent to 400W metal halide lamps. This means that each fixture can save 250W.

*Light quality: There are more than 80 CRIs in these indoor fixtures. When the lights fall on them, the objects look more natural and real.

*Light quantity: The lumen output determines the amount of light that indicates the brightness of the light. The wider the space you have, the more lumens you need to light the space.

*Dispersion angle: The main important feature of these LED devices is that they provide illumination at 120 degrees, making it easier to remove dark spots. In addition, with this feature, items can be kept sharper even in the corners of the room, otherwise it is difficult to position because normal or metal halide light never reaches extreme corners. And When using a UFO high bay light, you don't need a reflector to expand the light. An ultra-wide beam angle has been used to illuminate a wide space.

*Lifetime: LED light have a lifetime of 50,000 hours, which means no replacement costs in 5-6 years.

*Waterproof: These LED high-bay lights are waterproof and rust-proof and will not be damaged by rust or water. This is a very important business because it does not protect itself from rust and moisture. Or the lighting in the residential area will be damaged, which requires huge maintenance costs. However, if you choose to use these LEDs, you can enjoy better lighting without having to worry about rust and water damage, thanks to the IP 65 rating of these light, making them more durable and sturdy.

Maintenance: Since the light operates at low energy, no maintenance is required until the end of life.

These are the main features that appeal to most warehouse operators because of their high efficiency, which saves at least 90% of the money on lighting bills and saves on maintenance costs. Other than that, it won't let you compromise lighting requirements.
