Warehouse lighting

It is important to install lighting properly in any room, but even more important where staff members are working. They spend half, sometimes whole days in a warehouse and thus depend on the light hanging there. Good light can increase concentration and improve mood and productivity. The high ceilings mean that adequate lighting is important. In addition, there are guidelines associated with lighting in the workplace that are laid down in the Occupational Health and Safety Act. We are aware of these regulations and can create a custom lighting plan for your warehouse lighting. Please feel free to contact us.

Benefits of LED lighting for the warehouse

LED lighting is beneficial in many ways, including for your warehouse. Besides having a longer lifespan than normal lighting, LED lighting is also a lot more energy efficient. Your warehouse may be quite large and the ceilings high, requiring a lot of lighting to receive good light throughout the room. It is always nice to be able to save on energy bills then. In addition, LED fluorescent lighting ensures low CO2 emissions as well as a lower energy bill.

Smart lighting for the warehouse

There is not always someone present in the warehouse: this work sometimes requires time only on certain parts of the day. It is then a waste to leave the lights on. A sensible solution is to opt for smart lighting. Smart lighting can be installed so that it automatically turns off when there is no movement in the workplace or can be easily turned off with an app. We also offer rack path lighting at Ocab. These are LED light lines with a narrower beam with high light output that allows them to shine in a specific path and on the racks. Also, these LED fluorescent lights are smart and can therefore turn off when no motion is detected. The sensors respond to motion so it is always light in the areas where staff are.

Ocab’s tips for warehouse lighting

Ocab is an expert in warehouse lighting. When picking the right lighting for your warehouse, it is wise to think about a number of things. We’d like to give you a few tips….

Choose the right temperature: warm or cold lighting.
Go for energy efficient lighting by installing LED lighting and save on energy bills compared to traditional lighting.
Depending on the height of your warehouse, we determine how many lights and fixtures are needed. It depends on the amount of light desired or needed in the workplace.
Prevent shadows by positioning the light so that a staff member will not be in his or her own shadow during a task involving, for example, heavy weight lifting. This will prevent accidents.
Use sealed fixtures or lamps with a special coating. Should the glass break unexpectedly, you don’t want it to end up on the hard-working staff. The layer of coating ensures that the glass stays together and does not break into dozens of pieces.
Read up on the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment’s website on current guidelines for lighting in warehouses.
