ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Anybody know about warehouse lighting? LED? Induction? Sodium? Others? We're looking at moving down the road, and have to re-jig the lighting and get a load more, and not having done this before, dont have much experience in it. Can anybody give us some pointers of which direction is best these days? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 In the office, if you have 600x600 grid tiles then you can get very good led panels for them. ( Depending on what sort of light you want in the warehouse i'd go for the likes of 150w/250w son flood fittings but with metal halide lamps to give a nice white light. What are the dimensions of the warehouse? Induction lighting is good for energy saving but fittings are generally more expensive. I'd personally keep things simple and go for 150w/250w versions of these that give off a decent light spread http://www.thelia.org.uk/lighting-guides/lamp-guide/high-intensity-discharge/ (scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see the fittings i'm talking about) Remember you will need emergency lighting also throughout.

ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 Cheers We're trying to factor in the running costs as well, it's 20mx38m the area being lit, 7.9m apex and 6m at the sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Exactly what my brother used to do, TBH youre best off just going to a lighting designer and telling him what you want, theres a lot more to it than you might think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 21, 2014 Author Share Posted January 21, 2014 So I am learning... I am getting lots of quotes in, but I was hoping for some feedback without a vested interest... unless of course somebody wants to do some dealing with some wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 ^ what Neil said. The son floodlights would be ideal. I'd do the job for a set of rims but you will need to pay my petrol money from Scotland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
