22 Apr Warehouse & Industrial Lighting – Which Light Do You Need?
Though there are many options available on the lighting market, LED lighting is uniquely suited for effective illumination of warehouses and industrial facilities. Because lighting such a large commercial space requires a lot of fixtures, using energy-efficient LED lights adds up to a large reduction in energy bills, and the reliability and long life of LED technology ensures additional savings from lower maintenance costs. For your convenience, GKOLED stocks all the lighting you will need for your warehouse or industrial lighting project, so that you can get all the high-quality lighting you require in one place. Below, we break down the types of fixtures we carry, as well as their optimal use in your project.
Warehouses and Industrial Settings With High Ceilings
Linear High Bays
With a high lumen output of up to 50,500 lumens, these powerful, economic fixtures produce an even distribution of light in a long, narrow pattern. This makes them ideal for illumination of aisles with tall shelving, as they will produce uniform lighting across the entire height of the shelves, improving visibility for increased safety and productivity. Additionally, their elongated light output often makes Linear High Bays the more practical lighting solution for long workbenches or production lines. When looking for a one-to-one replacement of existing fixtures, Linear High Bays are designed to replace T5 or T8 fluorescent linear lights. Because of their wider beam angle, they are also ideally suited to installations where more spacing between fixtures is required. We currently offer two series of Linear High Bays – the series GKOMLH and the newer series GKOMLHG4.
Circular High Bays
Because they generally have higher lumen output and a uniform beam spread, Circular High Bays tend to be the preferred lighting option for large open spaces with mounting heights of 35’ and over. Additionally, as they only need to be hung from one point, Circular High Bays will generally be simpler and faster to install than Linear High Bays, saving on installation costs. Circular High Bays are designed to be a one-to-one replacement for metal halide, HID, and HPS fixtures. Most Circular High Bays are designed for an IP 65 rating, and are the better choice for environments that are subject to moisture and environmental contaminants. We offer four series of Circular High Bays, each uniquely designed for a different purpose: series GKOHB02, series GKOHB04, series GKOHB05, and series GKOHB06.
Warehouses and Industrial Settings With Low Ceilings
Canopy Lights
Also sometimes referred to as Low Bay Lights, these low-profile, inconspicuous fixtures may be used for open indoor spaces with ceiling heights under 15’. These versatile indoor/outdoor lights may also be used to illuminate walkways and loading docks. Our canopy lights are available in the series GKOCP03 circular model and the series GKOCP05 square model.
Linear Fixtures
Designed as a one to one replacement for traditional fluorescent linear fixtures, the elongated light pattern of Linear Fixtures makes them ideal for illuminating long, narrow spaces such as aisles or workbenches. Our series GKOLFG2 4’ Linear Fixtures may be used one at a time, or connected together to produce a larger 8’ fixture using the optional Row Connector Bracket, extending the light coverage even further.
Industrial Settings Exposed to Moisture Or Environmental Contaminants
Vapor Tight Linear Light
An enclosed fixture with an IP 65 rating, the series GKOVTG3 Vapor Tight Linear light is the rugged, durable lighting solution for industrial and manufacturing settings with exposure to dust, water, and humidity. It is ideal for settings that must undergo frequent cleaning, such as food preparation facilities, as the fixture may be safely hosed down with no adverse effects. Its ability to withstand cold temperatures also makes it a popular choice for illuminating cold storage.
Warehouse And Industrial Exterior Areas
Wall Packs
Designed to be installed on a building exterior to ensure pedestrian safety, these durable lights provide commercial buildings with perimeter or security lighting. Our wall packs are available in the traditional non-cutoff series GKOWP08 model and full cutoff series GKOWPG2 and series GKOWP10 models, for optimal control over light output in regulated areas.
Area Lights
Commonly mounted on poles, these powerful outdoor fixtures ensure vehicle and pedestrian safety by providing uniform illumination for commercial parking lots. We offer three series of Area Lights, series GKOAL01/02 and series GKOALG6, which use premium components for optimal performance, and series GKOAL04, which use modern components for a low-profile housing. A wide range of mounting options, brackets, and adaptors are available, to suit varied installation requirements.
