How can warehouses benefit from LED lighting?
Increased Energy Savings
Switching to LED lights for warehouses creates an immediate impact after installation! Commercial LED lights for warehouses are more energy-efficient than traditional technology, slashing up to 75% of electricity consumption. Consequently, organizations significantly reduce one of their highest operating costs.
Eliminate Maintenance
When considering commercial warehouse LED lighting, one of the frequently underestimated advantages is the reduction of maintenance costs. With warehouse LED light fixtures, the need for staff to replace lamps or other components diminishes, virtually eliminating the labor required for servicing lights.
Greater Safety and Security
Lighting in warehouses is crucial for maintaining safe environments for customers and employees. Adhering to the appropriate light levels, as outlined by the Illuminating Engineering Society Standards, is imperative for any warehouse operation to minimize accidents, promote well-being, and deter crime. Moreover, utilizing high-quality LED lighting enhances security camera effectiveness, capturing more physical features, and enables customers to navigate safely, mitigating risks associated with poor visibility.
Enhanced Visibility
Adequate lighting is vital for ensuring the safety of both employees and customers within warehouse premises. Nonetheless, outdated lighting systems can pose challenges in achieving sufficient illumination coverage across all areas, particularly in remote sections. Commercial LED lighting solutions tailored for warehouse operations offer enhanced control over light placement and provide diverse options for light distribution. These capabilities aid in strengthening overall visibility, creating a superior experience throughout the facility to boost productivity and reduce picking errors.

How do you choose the best lighting for a warehouse?
When selecting new LED lights for a warehouse, it's imperative to consider several factors about the facility and create a lighting plan that best suits the application. Some common questions to review:
-
What is the size of the warehouse?
-
Where can the warehouse LED light fixtures be mounted?
-
Are you matching an existing warehouse lighting footprint or is it a brand new design?
-
What are the targeted areas to be illuminated?
-
Aside from the standard IES footcandle requirements, is there a desired illuminance target for the warehouse?
It is highly recommended that warehouse lighting professionals conduct an on-site lighting survey in cooperation with on-site management. With a professional warehouse lighting audit, you'll have a holistic view of your entire lighting system and understand what's necessary to upgrade to new LED warehouse lighting.
The US LED team can create a warehouse lighting plan with the following:
-
Complete lighting schedule outlining the warehouse LED light fixture details.
-
2D/3D placement with specified mounting positioning in an application.
-
Point-by-point footcandle calculations to identify how much light is hitting a target surface.
-
"Heatmap" model to visualize how the light is dispersed.
Moreover, the US LED team can evaluate available utility rebates that could be applied to the project and provide a return on investment analysis.
What is the most popular LED lighting in warehouses?
The most popular indoor solutions are LED high bay warehouse lighting for large spaces and aisles and LED linear T8 lamps for easy retrofit applications. The most popular outdoor solutions for warehouse lighting include area lights for parking lots and walkways, and new LED wall packs for building exteriors. Learn more in this complete guide for LED warehouse lighting.
What are the key features to look for in LED warehouse high bay lighting?
Choosing the proper warehouse lighting involves more than just how bright and cost-effective they are. Consider essential factors when selecting the most efficient LED high bay light for your specific needs.
Durability and Lifespan
Consider the lifetime of the warehouse LED light fixture, especially in a demanding warehouse environment. Features like shatter-resistant lenses and robust housing that dissipate heat can extend your warehouse LED light fixtures' lifespan. Additionally, US LED lights for warehouses have ultra-long lifetimes (L70) compared to other manufacturers in the market, which means less frequent replacements and, consequently, lower maintenance costs.
Luminous Efficacy
The luminous efficacy of warehouse LED light fixtures (measured in lumens per watt) indicates how efficiently a light source produces visible light. A higher efficacy indicates better performance and efficiency, meaning you get more light while using less power. This higher efficiency can significantly reduce your energy costs over time.
Color Temperature
The correlated color temperature (CCT), measured in Kelvins (K), significantly influences both the aesthetic and practical aspects of your warehouse lighting. Lower temperatures (<3000K) produce warm, yellowish light, while higher temperatures (>5000K) generate a cooler, bluish light. The latter is often preferred in warehouses because it effectively reduces eye strain and enhances alertness among workers, contributing to both comfort and productivity.
Dimming and Lighting Controls
Dimming controls allow users to adjust light output based on specific tasks, motion, time of day, or other requirements. Advanced lighting systems seamlessly integrate with intelligent control systems, allowing for remote adjustments and automated settings based on sensors or time schedules.
Reduce Operating Costs
US LED warehouse light fixtures can save up to 75% energy compared to older technologies and have 2-3 times longer lifetimes than others in the marketplace, eliminating maintenance costs associated with replacing lamps, ballasts, and other components.
Increase Productivity
In well-lit warehouses, employees benefit from enhanced visibility and focus, resulting in heightened productivity and reduced errors. Moreover, the use of good warehouse LED lighting with low glare and high uniformity minimizes visual fatigue.
Enhance Safety & Security
Walking around and operating forklifts or other machinery in warehouses can be highly hazardous when employees cannot see the floor or obstacles due to insufficient lighting. Additionally, well-lit exteriors can eliminate dark spots and deter criminal activities.
Reduce Carbon Footprint
US LED warehouse light fixtures decrease a facility's energy usage, reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) or CO2 equivalent. This reduction effectively lowers the property's carbon footprint, positively impacting the environment.
