Warehouses and logistics centres. Light, switchboard, cable, backup.

What matters

Light a warehouse by its aisles, not by the square metre.

Light has to fall between the racks, not onto the top tiers. At 6–12 m, suspended high-bay luminaires of 100–200 W do the job; lower down, linear luminaires in rows along the aisles. For narrow aisles between tall racking, choose luminaires with a narrow light distribution.

The level for aisles is calculated at the floor, for the picking area at the working plane. For dust, condensation and unheated rooms take IP65; for forklift routes, impact resistance of IK08 or higher.

• Storage and aisles 75–200 lx on the floor
• Picking and goods-in 200–300 lx on the working plane
• Uniformity no lower than 0.4–0.6 in work areas
• Maintenance factor 1.4–1.5 for dusty warehouses
