LED fixtures are smart…literally! They can come with technology features that respond to the use of the space and compound the energy savings you can realize.
Occupancy sensors turn the lights on only when needed. That can be a big benefit in the expanse of a large warehouse. Because LEDs don’t have the warmup or re-strike times of fluorescents, the lights come on instantly and will shut off after a set-time of inactivity in the space.
Also, consider workers on forklifts. You don’t want them having to get off the machine to turn lights on and off or driving into areas that aren’t lit yet. Occupancy sensors, unlike motions sensors, can also distinguish between repetitive motion, like from machinery or a fan, and people.
