Warehouse Lighting FAQ

• What types of lights do warehouse facilities typically require?

  Warehouses typically require high-output, energy-efficient lighting solutions. Lights with high-lumen packages and specific beam angles are often required for evenly lighted floor-level tasks from high warehouse ceilings.

  Certain applications may also have specific requirements, such as:

  • Water resistance for wet locations, outdoor use or easy cleaning
  • Impact resistance for locations where explosions or forceful impacts may occur
  • Made in USA, BAA (Buy American Act) and ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act) fixtures for government, military and defense projects

  Find these and other certifications using the Qualifications filter on any product catalog.

  What ratings or certifications are important in industrial lighting?

  Important ratings and certifications for industrial lighting include:

  • DLC (DesignLights Consortium) or Energy Star® certification for energy efficiency
  • IP (Ingress Protection) ratings for dust and moisture resistance
  • UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listings for safety and compliance with electrical standards

  Use the Qualifications filter on this or any category page to refine results for certifications your project may require.

  Why is LED lighting beneficial for warehouses and industrial facilities?

  LED lighting adds value to warehouse and industrial spaces due to energy efficiency, long lifespan and high-quality illumination. LED lights provide energy savings, reduce maintenance costs and offer instant and flicker-free lighting, enhancing safety and productivity.

• What are the most important specifications to consider with warehouse lights?

  When selecting warehouse lights, consider specifications such as lumen output, color temperature (often around 5000K for task lighting), CRI (Color Rendering Index) for accurate color representation and beam angle to ensure proper light distribution. Also, factor in the fixture's durability and warranty.

  Does Alcon Lighting offer high and low bay lighting?

  Yes.

  High bay lights are designed for high ceilings, typically ranging from 15 to 50 feet, which is suitable for warehouse and factory space. Low bay lights are designed for ceilings less than 20 feet, which is suitable for smaller workshops and warehouse offices. Products with adjustable aircraft cable mounting kits and varying beam spreads may be suitable for high bay and low bay applications.
