LED WAREHOUSE LIGHTING OUTREMONT
LED warehouse lighting goes far beyond simple bulb replacement: it is a comprehensive strategy touching operational productivity, worker safety, regulatory compliance and energy performance. LEDCO guides Quebec businesses through the modernization of their warehouse lighting, from photometric planning to turnkey installation, with products eligible for Hydro-Quebec rebates.
LED High Bays for High-Ceiling Warehouses
LED high bay fixtures are the backbone of any warehouse lighting plan. For high-bay storage zones (15-40 foot ceilings), UFO high bays from 100 to 240 W deliver powerful, uniform illumination across aisles and picking zones. Integrated (or external) motion sensors reduce consumption by 30-40% in low-traffic aisles — a valuable feature in refrigerated or access-controlled warehouses.
Linear Vapor-Tight Fixtures for Aisles and Cold Zones
Refrigerated areas, cold rooms and low-bay picking aisles (8-15 feet) require sealed LED fixtures rated for operation at -40 degrees C. Vapor-tight strips with polycarbonate diffusers withstand pressure washing and intense condensation — essential for HACCP-certified food warehouses. LED T8 tubes offer an economical option to retrofit existing fluorescent fixtures without full replacement.
LED Wall Packs for Loading Docks and Perimeter
Loading docks and exterior maneuvering zones need robust, impact-resistant illumination. IP65 LED wall packs ensure optimal visibility for night operations and reduce accident risk during truck maneuvering. Equipped with a photocell (dusk-to-dawn), they switch automatically based on ambient daylight. Outdoor LED floodlights complete the lighting of large loading yards and parking areas.
Emergency and Safety Lighting — NFPA 101 Compliant
NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code) and the National Building Code of Canada mandate functional emergency lighting during power outages. LED emergency fixtures with integrated battery packs maintain a minimum of 1 foot-candle (10.76 lux) for 90 minutes along evacuation paths. Combination units (normal plus emergency) simplify installation and reduce the number of required luminaires. LED canopy fixtures at truck bays often integrate this function.
Technical Tips — LED Warehouse Lighting
- Recommended illuminance: 300 lux (general aisles), 500 lux (picking/inspection zones)
- Motion sensors: essential in refrigerated warehouses to reduce cooling loads
- Uniformity ratio (max/min): target below 4:1 for visual comfort
- NFPA 101 compliance: 90-minute emergency lighting on all evacuation routes
- DLC Premium certification for Hydro-Quebec industrial rebate eligibility
- Commission a DIALux study before installation to validate uniformity and avoid costly rework
