What are the benefits of installing LED lighting?

1. Can be retrofitted into existing fittings and schemes.
2. Save up to 85% in energy savings
3. Reducing your carbon footprint
4. Improvements in energy efficiency
5. LED lighting will slash your maintenance costs by up to 95%.
6. Improved Productivity. LED lighting can speed up operations by providing targeted task lighting for in a range of environments, e.g., industries
7. Improved Safety at Work. The quality of LED light can help visibility, alertness, and productivity, thus helping prevent work-related accidents and safety complications. LED workstation lighting can reduce machine/employee-related accidents by making hazards more apparent.
8. Light performance and light levels. LED lighting has a choice of colour temperatures and is dimmable and glare-free.
9. Installing replacement LED lights will remove the migraine-inducing flicker of traditional lights like fluorescent strip lighting seen in offices and workplaces
10. Instant On—Goodlight LED can be coupled with presence detection, e.g., sensors and timers.
11. Goodlight LED lamps are zero maintenance—internally regulated with no reliance on traditional control gear.
12. Free of harmful toxins. Goodlight LED lamps are toxin-free and easy to dispose of and recycle. Traditional CFL, fluorescent, and metal halide lamps contain toxic gases like mercury, which makes them difficult to dispose of safely.
13. A Guarantee of Quality. Goodlight offers a 5-year guarantee—rated for 50,000 hours*. We are so confident in the quality and performance of our products that they come with a 5-year guarantee against failure
14. LED Lighting can be used in conjunction with Light Boss, our SMART IoT wireless lighting control system, which can track occupancy levels and optimise for daylight


Types of LED Lighting
There are two main categories of LED light sources for you to consider.

Retrofit Lighting

Are your current light fittings in good condition and relatively new? Retrofit LED lamps, which provide a simple ‘lamp swap’ to convert your existing light fitting to LED. Our retrofit LED lamps are of similar dimensions and style so that they can be utilised in the original light fitting. This is often quick to install; it is far easier to replace a light bulb than an entire fitting. Examples of our popular retrofit LED lamps include the following: T5 LED tube, T8 LED tube, LED SON lamps, and PL & PLL LED lamps.


LED Luminaires

If your existing fittings are old, then it’s a good time to upgrade your fittings. This way, you will get the optimal performance. New LED fittings can be more cost-efficient, as full LED fittings require no ongoing maintenance and provide high lumens packages. You may be able to reduce the number of light fittings you have, but still get the same levels of brightness. New fittings are specifically designed for their purpose and could be anti-glare, hazardous or explosion-proof, dim up or down, and turn on when mains power fails. They are compatible with controls and can feature integrated sensors.

In today’s fast-paced logistics environment, efficient warehouse lighting is crucial. With the rise of e-commerce and the ever-increasing demand for rapid delivery, warehouses need to be more efficient and sustainable than ever. Our LED lighting solutions provide the perfect balance of performance, energy efficiency, and cost savings.

Warehouses play a critical role in today’s supply chain, and lighting is a fundamental component of their infrastructure. This updated guide delves into the latest advancements in warehouse LED lighting, highlighting why it’s essential for modern warehouses.

The use of LED lighting is on the rise in warehouses, with companies reaping the benefits of huge energy savings and reduced maintenance costs. Warehouses and industrial buildings can present harsh environments; lighting may be required to operate in extremes of temperature and humidity, may be exposed to atmospheres that are corrosive, explosive, or dirty, and may need to be capable of withstanding water jets and vibration.

The Importance of Efficient Lighting in Warehouses

Safety and Visibility: Proper lighting reduces accidents and ensures a safe working environment.
Energy Efficiency: LED lights use less energy, lowering operational costs.
Cost Savings: Reduced energy consumption and maintenance needs result in significant cost savings.
Productivity: Well-lit environments enhance worker productivity and accuracy.
Sustainability: LED lighting contributes to a greener environment, helping businesses meet sustainability targets.

Choosing the Right LED Lighting
Assess Your Needs: Understand the specific lighting requirements of your warehouse, including areas that need the most illumination.
Consider Quality and Durability: Choose high-quality, durable LED lights that can withstand the warehouse environment.
Evaluate Energy Efficiency: Look for LED lights with high energy efficiency ratings to maximise savings.
Plan for Maintenance: Select lights that require minimal maintenance to reduce downtime


What Type of Light Source Should Be Used?
Traditional lighting like fluorescent, HID, metal halide and SON are old, antiquated and energy draining.

LED warehouse fittings can either be purchased as complete fixtures for new buildings or retrofittable ones which replace existing lighting. They can last up to 100,000 life hours which is 5-10 times the lifespan of traditional lighting.

You won’t have to drag out the ladder or lift to replace an LED bulb nearly as often because they aren’t reliant on ballasts and gear (which requires replacement and maintenance) and they don’t suffer from constant on/off cycle switching the way traditional lighting does.


Our Top LED Lighting Solutions

GX2 Linear: Offers excellent energy efficiency and performance for large spaces. It is a superior linear LED High Bay which replaces traditional SON and metal halide fixtures up to 500W. It is protected to IP65 (waterproof) and is also resistant to dust, ice, heat and corrosion.

Glaxo: Versatile lighting suitable for various warehouse applications.
Ovo/Floodlight: The Goodlight™ IP66 LED Floodlight is ideal for both indoor and outdoor warehouse areas, providing robust and reliable illumination. The interiors of warehouses can help brighten things up too!

The colour of your ceiling, walls, and floor can make a huge difference in illuminating areas. Light-coloured interiors have a higher reflectance than dark colours, meaning they will amplify your light levels rather than muting them. If your warehouse has skylights, you can make the most of daylight streaming into your spaces, and using dimmable, controllable lighting can maximise energy savings. When replacing old lighting, painting walls and floors in light colours can help brighten areas where visibility is poor due to dirty surfaces or unevenness surfaces due to objects in the way, like stock or equipment.

The use of Motion Sensors and Occupancy Monitoring with LED lighting

Many warehouses are operated 24/7. Warehouse lights with control options like motion sensors to get maximum utility out of your lighting and reduce energy consumption. You can opt for standalone sensors (PIR or microwave) or lighting fixtures with integral sensors to provide automated control of lights according to need.

When it comes to lighting large spaces like warehouses, sensors are essential to reduce energy costs by turning the lights on and/or off, depending on whether or not someone is in the space. Simple sensors turn the lights on and off. SMART sensors do a lot more—they turn lights on, off, or dim them up and down, which is far more useful in busy buildings. With the advent of IoT and SMART lighting, we can programme the lighting to do exactly what we want or need. This means we can set various lighting levels by task or usage withi
