Warehouse and Hangar Lighting
High-quality warehouse and hangar lighting is a critical factor for safe logistics and work efficiency. High ceilings and narrow shelving aisles pose specific challenges - incorrectly chosen light leaves dark corners, which increases the risk of forklift accidents and slows down order picking. Moreover, replacing cheap luminaires at a height of 8 to 10 meters means expensive scissor lift rentals and equipment downtime. VIDEX industrial lighting solutions (High Bay domes and linear systems) are designed to guarantee flawless visibility and reduce your long-term Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to an absolute minimum.
Why logistics centers choose VIDEX lighting:
- Massive cooling for longevity: Under the hangar roof, summer temperatures can reach up to +50°C. Cheap plastic melts there, and LED chips burn out. VIDEX uses top-class aluminum heatsinks that dissipate heat at lightning speed, guaranteeing the luminaire a real 50,000-hour lifespan without light loss.
- Optical lenses for precise light: Our luminaires are equipped with special optical diffusers (e.g., 90° or 120° angles) that scatter light exactly where it is needed - on the floor and shelves, rather than wasting it on the walls.
- Energy efficiency (over 130 lm/W): Save thousands of euros a year on electricity. VIDEX modern LED matrices provide maximum brightness with minimal electricity consumption, ensuring a fast Return on Investment (ROI).

Q: Why are luminaires with an asymmetric or oval (30x90° / 60x120°) beam angle used in high-bay pallet rack aisles?
Q: What does the requirement for a high vertical illuminance standard (E_v) mean in logistics centers?
Q: How does pass-through electrical mounting architecture reduce warehouse lighting costs?
Q: What are the requirements for dust and vibration resistance for luminaires in bulk cargo hangars?
Q: How to select the appropriate power and mounting height for illuminating warehouse corridors?
A: Asymmetric optics direct the luminous flux into a narrow vertical corridor between shelves without losing lumens on the top edges of the racks. This beam geometry provides uniform lighting on all rack levels, facilitating forklift maneuvering and eliminating shadow areas.
Q: What does the requirement for a high vertical illuminance standard (E_v) mean in logistics centers?
A: Vertical illuminance determines light intensity on steep shelf surfaces, which is critical for reading pallet markings and barcodes. Properly planned optics provide at least 200 lx vertical output throughout the rack height, reducing reading errors and speeding up cargo handling.
Q: How does pass-through electrical mounting architecture reduce warehouse lighting costs?
A: Most VIDEX logistics models feature an internal power trunking, allowing luminaires to be mechanically connected in long series (up to 10-15 units). This significantly speeds up installation between shelves, eliminating the need to run and fix a separate power cable to each housing.
Q: What are the requirements for dust and vibration resistance for luminaires in bulk cargo hangars?
A: In grain and bulk cargo warehouses, luminaires must meet at least an IP65 tightness rating, protecting electronics from fine agricultural dust. Integrated vibration dampeners in the mounting safeguard the power supply unit and LED modules from shaking caused by heavy handling equipment.
Q: How to select the appropriate power and mounting height for illuminating warehouse corridors?
A: Power selection is tied to ceiling height and aisle width:
- 100W–120W (13,000–16,000 lm) – suitable for medium-height warehouses (5–7 m).
- 150W (20,000 lm) – standard choice for logistics aisles from 8 to 10 meters.
- 200W+ (28,000+ lm) – usable in terminals with ceilings over 11 meters.
