Which type of light distribution should be used?

Warehouses usually require two types of light distribution. One type of I or V, the specific need depends on the layout of the facility. Spaces with overhead units require Type I, which is a very long and slender light pattern. This ensures that no light is lost or blocked by the top of the shelf. If your warehouse has a more open floor plan, the V-shaped light distribution is more appropriate. This light pattern emits wide-angle light from all sides of the luminaire in a circular or square distribution. Learn more about the difference in light modes,

These sensors turn the lights on and/or off based on whether someone is in the space. When you want the lights to turn on and off automatically, use an occupancy sensor. Vacancy sensors are suitable for areas that do not need to turn on the lights every time someone enters, such as warehouses with large skylights to illuminate the space, but you still want them to turn off when the space is empty
