Learn&Save: LED Lighting for Warehouses

As a Warehouse Manager, you are faced with the challenge of managing overheads, maximising profits and being environmentally friendly without compromising your facility’s productivity. The quality and type of lighting you have has a big influence on this, especially if operating 24/7.

Our LED lighting solutions will give you peace of mind. We not only make sure your lighting is exactly what you need but also delivers return on investment and savings while considering compliance, health & safety and productivity.

Warehouses are typically high buildings with limited natural lighting and they contain high shelving structures for storage with narrow aisles to optimise storage solutions. Workers operate in these aisles with forklifts, which means the lighting must be able to light the aisles without impacting worker safety.

As warehouses have long operational hours with only certain areas in use at any one time, the opportunity for energy use reduction and savings is substantial.

LED lighting has been proven to reduce electricity use by up to 80%, especially when combined with lighting controls for zoning, scheduling, motion detection, or even remote management which creates even more opportunities for energy savings and can drastically improve operations with the lights only in use when required.

As LED lighting lasts much longer with no requirement to replace bulbs, costs and maintenance work are considerably reduced, which is ideal for warehouses with hard-to-access areas and 24/7 operation. It avoids disruption to the staff using the warehouse but also reduces the burden to maintenance teams making operations smoother and less costly.

LED lighting is far superior in quality compared to traditional sources. The light output remains stable over the lifetime of the lamps, ensuring high quality illumination is always achieved.

LED also has less glare than traditional lighting, which is particularly important for warehouses with the need for operators to look up when organising goods at height.

Warehouses tend to use SON or Metal Halide luminaires, which use a lot of electricity and deteriorate quickly, leaving highly discoloured lighting or failed lamps. This can make warehouses unsafe, with dark shadows and low visibility. LED lighting eradicates this problem with long-lasting, uniformed clear white light that outlasts traditional lighting by a factor of three.

LED lighting also dissipates less heat than traditional lighting and doesn’t contain mercury or UV, which avoids adding further dangerous chemicals or heat to the warehouse. Brighter, high quality LED lighting also helps security teams to maintain visibility in the warehouse and keep storage as well as staff safe.

As LED lighting is highly durable and can withstand shock and vibration, it is perfect for warehouses where machinery or forklifts are in constant use.

The reduced maintenance ensures that there is less disruption to staff and the better visual conditions have proven to improve worker concentration and productivity.

As well as the energy saving, maintenance reduction and improved operations benefits, changing out your energy-hungry fittings with LED lighting will drastically help reduce your carbon footprint, which may be a priority for you with the pressure on businesses to become greener!
