This guide highlights key concepts and design considerations best addressed with Luminaire Level Lighting Controls (LLLC) systems.

While warehouses may look the same from the outside, what’s happening on the inside is as unique as the business itself. A successful lighting system needs to provide value beyond simply meeting code and achieving recommended light levels. Modern Networked Lighting Controls (NLC) systems, including LLLC, are easy to install and control. They provide maximum space flexibility and support a host of non-energy benefits such as safety, occupant comfort, asset tracking, and more.

Warehouses have vastly different lighting and controls opportunities. For instance, a staging workspace needs a different strategy than storage aisles. Loading areas can take advantage of greater daylight while processing areas may need increased light levels to help ensure quality. Knowing the warehouse’s layout and where predicable activity occurs is crucial before implementing a controls strategy.

Sensor placement is critical to ensuring that activity is detected properly. LLLC fixtures have integrated sensors in each fixture for maximum coverage and control. Many modern LLLC systems offer cost-effective wireless wall stations. Wireless wall stations can be placed around a facility and programmed to turn all lights to 100% in the event of an emergency.

LLLC systems in warehouse and large area spaces are increasingly adding new sensors. They can gather data and report on power use, occupancy patterns, system performance, and more. There is an opportunity to help your customers realize they are not just investing in a new lighting system—they are investing in system efficiencies tailored to their unique needs. With integrated sensors and easy setup, LLLC solutions are also a great way to ace your next warehouse project codes inspection.
