warehouse complex
features and approaches to lighting
The choice of lighting fixtures for lighting warehouse spaces should take into account the specifics of a particular facility. There are warehouses with rack and pallet types of storage.
In the case of lighting warehouses with shelving type of storage, it is advisable to choose luminaires with asymmetric light distribution. This approach will allow to concentrate the maximum light flux on the vertical surfaces of the racks. In the case of pallet storage, preference should be given to luminaires with diffuse or half-wide light distribution. This will evenly distribute the light flux over the illuminated surface and minimize the amount of equipment at the facility.
To improve energy efficiency when lighting warehouse facilities, it is recommended to use motion sensors that monitor the presence of people and forklifts in the areas of warehouse sectors. The intelligent control system reacts to the appearance of an object and turns on the working lighting, after a while after the object disappears from the sensor's field of view, the lighting automatically switches to standby mode.
In addition, storage facilities are characterized by increased dust formation. Therefore, lighting equipment must have a degree of protection against dust and moisture of at least IP54.
Special requirements are imposed on lighting devices used in granaries, since there is a possibility of grain ignition as a result of self-heating. The process of self-heating in granaries may occur due to non-compliance with the systematic control of the state of freshly harvested grain (high humidity and temperature conditions). Therefore, lamps in granaries must meet fire safety requirements.
