Warehouse lighting should start with the product, the scene and the task plane rather than wattage alone. Record rack height, aisle width, mounting height and maintenance access before choosing a fixture.
Confirm voltage, ambient temperature, dust, corrosion, rack layout and supply timing together so the selected product fits the site reality.
Start with mounting height
Warehouses between 6 m and 12 m usually begin with medium beams and spacing checks, while taller sites need another look at lumen output and floor uniformity.
- Separate rack and open areas
- Keep service access clear
- Check rack shadows
Read the parameters together
Wattage, efficacy, CRI, CCT, IP rating and control interface should be judged as one set rather than as isolated numbers.
- Check complete-fixture efficacy
- Confirm sealing and thermal design
- Verify 0-10V or DALI options
Match the product to the scene
Open storage zones suit high bays, while long aisles and damp areas may need tri-proof fixtures or stronger protection.
- Separate aisles from docks
- Confirm forklift visibility
- Consider sensor zoning
Describe site conditions clearly
Warehouse lighting content should connect rack height, aisle width, motion sensing, mounting position and maintenance access to the selected products.
- Avoid vague wording
- Answer real project questions
- Describe the site clearly
