Have you ever wondered how much brightness is required for a warehouse or a storage bay? Even if commercial site owners decide to go for commercial LED lighting, there is hardly any knowledge about the number of lumens needed and how many fixtures are installed for proper lighting.
The lumen is the simple measurement unit for brightness. However, the question itself is challenging about how much lumen is required to create a well-lit environment. Therefore, it’s crucial to find the solution to the question.
There are also some myths associated with installing lights fixtures inside prominent places. For example, many people think the more light fixtures, the more brightness delivered inside the warehouses. However, it is seen that excessive brightness causes discomfort to the workers.
It is meant that the ideal amount of fixtures are required to deliver the exact lumen count for the interiors. If the lumen count is less, then the warehouse remains poorly lit, the situation gets tough for the workers. Therefore, LED warehouse lighting should be up to the mark and of the exact count.
First, all you need to do is multiply the warehouse’s length and width to determine the number of LED warehouse lights required.
For example, 100 feet Length X 60 feet Width = 6000 feet square foot
There are other factors that you need to consider while installing the LED fixtures. First, you need to check the space between the floor and the ceiling.
Then, the types of products you store in your warehouse. Larger products require adequate brightness and smaller products require higher brightness.
| Types of products stored inside warehouses | Lumen requirement |
| Large items | 10 lumen per square feet |
| Smaller items | 30 lumen per square feet |
| Aisle area | 20 lumen per square feet |
With proper calculations, one can find the ideal lumen count required to illuminate a large warehouse.
