Renewing Your Warehouse Light Bulbs Supply? 3Tips to Lower Your Costs

LED light bulbs and fixtures are the best lighting option for industrial settings because LEDs are highly efficient, easy to maintain, do not break easily, and emit light in one direction. LED lights turn on and off instantly and are compatible with light controls, like dimming. LED lights also give off less heat than other light options and this makes temperature maintenance easier.

1. Give Up Metal-Halide and High Output Fluorescent Light Bulbs

Light fixtures in warehouses commonly use Metal-Halide or High Output Fluorescent light bulbs. Metal-Halide bulbs generally take a long time to reach maximum intensity and are known to make loud buzzing or humming sounds. Metal-Halide light bulbs usually have short lifespans and are made with mercury, which is harmful to the environment. T-5, T-8, and T-12 High Output Fluorescent light bulbs are frequently used in warehouses, as well.

2. Switch To LED

Energy use in warehouses is reduced by 50% just by replacing Metal-Halide lights with LEDs. Although generally more expensive than competing light options, LEDs last longer, are better for the environment and provide comparable or better light quality. LEDs use less energy to create the same amount of light, produce superior color rendering, and have better uniform light distribution. LED lights can last up to 25,000 hours and purchasers of LED lighting see a return on investment in 3 to 5 years after purchasing—sometimes less.

3. Integrate Lighting Controls

The quickest way to reduce energy consumption at a commercial location is to turn off equipment when it’s not needed. With the addition of light controls, such as occupancy sensors or step-dimmers, electricity consumption can be reduced by nearly 90%. Reduce operating costs at your warehouse by installing lighting controls, such as:

• Scheduling
• Occupancy sensors
• Daylight harvesting
• Bi-level switching
• Dimming

For exterior lights, install photo-sensors to activate lamps when daylight diminishes. Put motion sensors in locations that are not used frequently.

To reduce operating costs in warehouses and other commercial buildings, lighting is a priority target because lighting accounts for approximately 41% of total energy consumed by these types of buildings (light and heating alone account for 64% of energy consumed).
