LED Lighting Is Perfect for Your Warehouse
November 08, 2018
Warehouse owners and warehouse managers looking to buy high bay light fixtures for their warehouses usually look for fixtures with a long lifespan, non-toxic materials, a cool temperature, good color rendering, and sufficient brightness.
LED lights meet each of these needs and that‘s why they‘re perfect for high bay light fixtures. Warehouse owners who install these fixtures realize energy savings of up to 80% and save money on maintenance costs and electricity.
1. Energy Efficiency
This is the major reason why most warehouse owners switch to LED technology. LEDs use very few watts to produce the same amount of lumens as traditional light fixtures. They can lower energy consumption by up to 90%, saving you money you could have spent on electricity. They can reduce your electric bills by more than 80%, especially if you combine them with occupancy and vacancy sensors.
2. Long Lasting
LEDs can last for over 10 years (their average lifespan is 50,000 hours) without losing their initial brightness, unlike HID lights which lose their lumens rapidly. The lifespan of LEDs is ten times that of fluorescent and metal halide lights. You‘ll do away with the need to replace lights frequently, lowering maintenance costs in the process.
LED HighBay fixtures are also very well constructed and do not break easily.
3. Cool Temperature
According to the Department of Energy, LEDs emit very little heat while traditional lights discharge more than 80% of the energy they consume as heat. This means they are safe to use in different settings, even in food and textile warehouses. They can help cut down air conditioning costs because they don‘t need to be cooled like traditional lights.
4. Uniform Light
Since LEDs are directional, they emit light in a specific range and do not scatter it all over the place like HIDs. They have multiple diodes with separate optics and dispense light uniformly across surfaces.
