Keep Costs Down With Warehouse Lighting

LED Highbay luminaires are incredibly common in warehouses. They provide bright lighting that illuminates the vast space, in large areas with high ceilings. Choosing a high-quality luminaire, that will operate efficiently in the space, will help to keep running costs down. Here are some top tips on what to look for.

1. Speed of Installation

Ensuring the installation is as efficient as possible can save money upfront as it doesn’t lead to excess fitting time. Pre-wired solutions – such as Aurora’s Cosmos Highbay, which is pre-wired with 1.5m of cable – provide an easy installation. The pre-wiring ensures ease of fitting in the hard-to-reach areas that highbays are located and save the contractor time on site.

2. Choose Dimmable

By selecting a dimmable option, the highbay offers added control and therefore energy savings. Adding this level of control ensures energy is not wasted, which is poor for the environment, while also costing a business unnecessarily. Adding a microwave sensor option also means the highbay will only be in use when it is needed - again saving money and energy.

3. High Protection Rating

A high protection rating will ensure the luminaire can withstand industrial environments, so they are built to last. The Cosmos Highbay offers IP65 and IK10, so it is a hardy and robust solution. This means it won’t need to be replaced for a long time, saving on capital costs as well as installation costs.

4. Reliability

High protection ratings also indicate reliability, coupled with other factors such as choosing a quality solution from a reputable manufacturer with a warranty. This in turn leads to reduced maintenance costs, as the highbay becomes a fit and forget solution, lasting for many years.
