Warehouse & logistics
High ceilings, long aisles and long operating hours. Here, presence control per aisle is not a feature but the entire business case.
A warehouse has few people over a large area, and an aisle nobody walks does not need to be lit like one in use. The standard explicitly distinguishes aisles with and without people, and the difference is nearly an order of magnitude.
High ceilings mean that replacing a luminaire costs, whatever the luminaire costs. The operating hours saved by presence control are therefore both electricity and time spent on a lift.
Only the aisle someone is in goes to full output.
Entire sections switch on and off without a contactor cabinet.
High ceilings make every luminaire change expensive. Shorter run time postpones it.
Lighting requirements
| Area / task | Ēm (lux) | UGR max | U₀ min | Ra min |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aisles without people | 20 | – | 0,40 | 40 |
| Aisles with people | 150 | 22 | 0,40 | 60 |
| Picking and packing | 300 | 25 | 0,60 | 80 |
| Loading bay | 150 | 25 | 0,40 | 40 |
Target values per SS-EN 12464-1. The values are a starting point for the conversation, not a lighting design. The client's own requirements, the geometry of the room and its surfaces decide the outcome.
