7 Reasons To Install LED Lighting For
Your Warehouse |
It is an undeniable fact that a warehouse with poor lighting
conditions is a place that is ripe for errors. A warehouse
is a crucial place of operation whose efficiency is a
determinant of the success or failure of the business. A
typical warehouse has a batch of operations including value
addition to products, packaging, receiving, picking and
shipping. Of course, some obvious functions such as
paperwork and light product assembly falls into the activity
list of the warehouse.
In view of the duties that are carried out in the warehouse,
it is important that adequate lighting is provided in this
area of work. However, lighting a warehouse is at times a
tricky venture owing to a large number of activities that
happen in one place. If you own a store in Singapore, then
you are fully aware of this challenge. The section where
paperwork is done requires different lighting from the area
where goods are repackaged. Similarly, a storage area of the
warehouse requires less light than paths and sections
designated for movement.
LED for warehouse lighting
Light Emitting Diodes commonly abbreviated as LEDs, are
simple, small electronic bulbs that are used for many
purposes (other than illumination). It is worth noting that
they are an electronic advancement that came recently.
Although the technology had been around for a moment, it had
not been thought of as a solution to light our environment.
LEDs operate differently from their traditional
counterparts, the incandescent lighting bulbs.
The primary concern in any warehouse facility is efficiency.
Employees and other staff working in a warehouse need to see
clearly, and most of all identify colors quickly. Poor
lighting does not allow for easy identification and causes
eye strain. LED lighting is a solution to this problem. It
provides proper color rendering, which is the ability to
represent the true and actual colors of an object.
Additionally, the lighting inside a warehouse needs to be
done tactfully. Think of this as the distribution of lights
in the building. You would want to do it such that it is
uniform. It does not necessarily mean that you have to use
the same number LEDs per unit area. Instead, it should be
done such that the forklift drivers can easily look at
stacks up and down without any difficulty or adjusting their
eyes.
There are many factors concerning warehouse lighting that
must be put into consideration. However, let’s take a quick
look at seven reasons to install LED lighting for your
warehouse.
1. Efficiency
LED lighting is the most efficient technology as far as
lighting technologies are concerned. They have been found to
be extremely efficient and consume less energy going as low
as 10% of what the incandescent bulbs use. Owing to this
fact, Singapore warehouse owners are set to save drastically
on energy costs. Despite the fact that LEDs may cost a
little more as compared to fluorescent and incandescent
bulbs, the costs incurred can be recapped through the
savings that are realized through lower energy costs.
2. Longevity
Another outstanding benefit of LED lighting is the fact that
they last for a long period. The average lifetime
expectation of an LED bulb is 100,000 hours. To say the
least, this is an incredibly longer time than anybody would
have thought. It translates to 11 years of non-stop
operation or an equivalent of 22 or more years if they are
not used during the day and the weekends. Practically, this
implies that at the very minimum, you will have to replace
the bulbs after ten years. Unlike the standard lighting, the
LEDs do not burn out or dim after prolonged use.
3. Durable quality
Most warehouses undertake a lot of manual work, involving
moving trucks and goods, leading to a dusty environment.
Ordinary lighting is susceptible to such problems. So you
will notice that a bulb somehow failed to light due to the
accumulation of dust or moisture. LEDs on the other hand,
are manufactured from sturdy components and are rugged to
withstand even the toughest environmental conditions. You
will discover that most external lighting constitutes LED
light as it is resistant to external impacts, vibrations,
and shocks. You might have noticed that traffic lights work
efficiently even in bad weather, rain, and wind, through to
vandalism. This is because they are made of LEDs.
4. Flexibility
Ordinary lighting poses a challenge in terms of design
flexibility. Remember, you want to arrange the bulbs so as
to get different effects for various places. LED lights are
easier to organize, and can be arranged in any shape to
produce an illumination that is spot on. You can even dim a
section of LEDs just to give you the desired light
distribution, control and color combination. It gets even
better as you can achieve more fantastic results suitable
for a productive work environment.
5. Ecologically friendly
Older technologies of light bulbs were hazardous and
contained harmful substances such as mercury in them. Such
chemicals are harmful to man and the environment. LED
lighting is not manufactured with toxic materials. It is has
been found that the materials used to produce this kind of
lighting is completely recyclable and can help cut down on
the carbon footprint by a third.
6. Light dispersement
Rays of light produced by the LEDs come out in a way that
they focus in a single direction. As compared to
conventional lighting, LEDs are much better as you can use
as much or as few of them as you desire to point light to a
single direction. Ordinary light bulbs send light to a
larger area and require reflectors to focus light on a
single direction.
7. Instant lighting for frequent switching
LEDs light up faster to fully brighten when they are powered
on. This is a feature that makes this technology better than
the traditional lighting where you would have to wait for
several minutes for the fluorescent tube to light. On a bad
day, light bulbs blow up when they are switched on and off
many times. This is highly inefficient and disappointing for
any business owner. LEDs are have since overtaken their
older bulb counterparts as the lifetime and performance is
not affected by continued switching. Safety experts have
found LEDs to be safe for use in infrastructure environments
such as warehouses and construction. Since they do not
generate any heat, they can be left on for days, and you can
still touch them with your bare hands without any
consequence (fires or burns). Managers, employees,
designers, and owners agree that the bottom-line of lighting
a warehouse is efficiency. What better solution than with
LEDs? |
