Improve productivity, safety and quality control.

Proper illumination is critical in an industrial environment. Good lighting not only improves visibility and increases safety, it also has a positive impact on worker morale, productivity and work quality. You can improve lighting and reduce energy costs with energy-efficient approaches.

A high-quality energy-efficient industrial lighting system includes:

General lighting: Specialty efficient industrial fluorescent overhead fixtures. For 20-foot or higher ceilings, use high intensity discharge (HID) fixtures. For 15-foot or higher ceilings, use T-5 highbays. Download a Highbay Lighting Guide. (pdf 546kb)

Task lighting: T-8, T-5 or T-2 fluorescent fixtures.

Office areas: Occupancy sensors that keep lights on only when needed. More on office lighting.

All areas: Fluorescent and HID lamps.

Warehouse/storage areas: Occupancy driven high/low switching. When constructing a new building, include skylights to harness natural light. Download a Energy-Efficient Warehouse Skylighting Guide. (pdf 1.27mb)
