Lighting angle of warehouse lighting

Lighting angle of warehouse lighting

When purchasing LED warehouse lights, the beam angle can be determined to ensure the area is illuminated evenly and efficiently. The beam angle of an LED light is a measure of the light from which it is distributed throughout the space.


For warehouse lighting, the standard beam angle is 120 degrees. This works great for 15- to 30-foot ceilings. As the ceiling height exceeds this range, the beam angle becomes narrower.


For ceilings between 25 and 40 feet, the standard beam angle is 90 degrees. LED warehouse lights with a 60-degree beam angle are also available if required.

How to make the most of LED warehouse lights?


Commercial and public spaces such as parking lots, warehouses, sconces and streets use metal halide or high pressure sodium (HPS) lighting. In the case of switching to LEDs, determining how many lumens will provide the same functionality as a regular light's wattage can be a complicated process. As mentioned, there is no reliable conversion between watts and lumens. The following examples may be helpful:


• For 25 watt metal halide or HPS bulbs, use 100 watt LEDs at 13,000 lumens


• For 400 watt metal halide or HPS bulbs, use a 20,000 lumens 150 watt LED


• For 750 watt metal halide or HPS bulbs, use 32,000 lumens of 240 watt LEDs


For a more accurate replacement, it is recommended to consult a lighting engineer.

Here are some dos and don'ts to help you buy the best LEDs for your warehouse:


Lumens

Lumens can help determine the brightness of light. The higher the lumens, the better the brightness.


Lumens vs Watts

For LEDs, lumens are more important than wattage. That's why experts recommend preferring lumens over wattage. The reason is that LEDs are designed to use less energy but also provide better brightness.


Kelvins

Kelvin determines the color temperature of an LED. It shows how warm or cold the light is. For example, you will find 5,000K, 4,000K and 3,000K LEDs on the market. A lower Kelvin number means warmer and softer light. As the Kelvin increases, the light becomes brighter and whiter.


Install

You will come across a variety of mounting styles in LEDs in warehouses. However, hook and flood or U-bracket styles are more typical.

Some LED warehouse lights and LED parking lot lights have motion sensors. Installing them depends on how convenient you need to be in the warehouse. Certain spaces may require sensors. Sensors can be active or passive. Active sensors respond to ultrasonic waves, while passive sensors respond to temperature.

Why is it important to have good lighting?

A warehouse is an area that requires organization. Additionally, employees or any guests who have access to the warehouse should be able to enjoy better convenience and productivity. LEDs are safer for the eyes and provide higher brightness, so work becomes more manageable. Using LED warehouse lights, business organizations can also save on utility and maintenance costs while reducing their carbon footprint.
