Optimal lighting in warehouses increases workplace safety and logistical efficiency. This article will cover lighting design for different parts of a warehouse, such as loading, distribution, packaging and storage areas, as well as the pros and cons of using LED lights to replace metal halide, halogen and HPS floodlights.
Advantages and disadvantages of LED warehouse lighting
1. Compared with metal halide high bay lamps, the energy efficiency is higher after replacing LEDs
Our LED lights feature a high luminous efficacy of 170 lumens per watt, which means 170 units of brightness per watt consumed. We can see that the luminous efficiency of metal halides is around 75 to 90 lumens per watt, and halogens are only 15 to 20, which is the main limitation of traditional lighting. By adding LED high bay lights, we can save up to 75% of energy, not only reducing electricity bills, but also protecting our environment.
2. Higher flexibility of LED warehouse lighting fixtures
Great flexibility means there are many options to choose from - power, beam angle, CRI, size, weight and other parameters. We can use lamps of different specifications to suit any type of indoor warehouse. We have LED high bay lights of 100W, 200W and up to 500W. In addition, we also offer customization of mounting brackets and other accessories.
3. LED lights are more durable
In addition to higher energy efficiency, another reason for warehouses to adopt LED high bay lights is that they have a much longer lifespan than HID floodlights. If you use metal halide high bay lights, they will need to be replaced every 1 to 2 years as they degrade quickly. After a few months of use, they are very dull. Conversely, after replacing the LED, since our LED high bay lights have an expected lifespan of 80,000 hours, if you turn them on for 12 hours a day, they will last at least 18 years. Choosing our LED High Bay Lights for your new warehouse building or renovation project will be your best choice
4. No flicker
Although fluorescent tubes are cheaper than LED lights, they are more prone to flickering. Flicker may not be as noticeable; but it does affect and tire our eyes, and it's easy to get tired from flickering lights. In contrast, LED lighting fixtures are flicker-free. According to our lab tests, the lumen amplitude is less than 0.3% of the lighting's average lumen output; so the lights won't flicker, even with a 5000 fps slow-motion camera.
5. Extreme temperature
Our LED high bay lighting fixtures can be used in cold storage and high temperature environments. Floodlights are resistant to extremely low temperatures of -45ºC and are suitable for rooms where frozen items are stored. Additionally, as some manufacturing processes may involve high temperatures, our lamps are designed to operate in ambient temperatures of 100ºC. Our lamps have an efficient cooling system to keep the temperature in a low range.
6. Very good waterproof performance
Our LED lights are IP54 waterproof, so you don't need to worry about the lights going out in heavy rain. LEDs are a better replacement for HID lamps and fluorescent tubes.
It can be seen from the above points that the lighting efficiency and use cost of LED high bay lamps are much higher than other lamps. This is undoubtedly your best choice. You can contact us as soon as possible, and we will design the best solution for your project. The best lighting solution
