warehouse-and-logistics
Logistics and industrial space has been at a premium for some time and this demand looks set to continue. Developers are under pressure to deliver high grade warehouse units in even shorter timescales.
Building occupiers are expecting units to align with their corporate environmental, social and governance policies which means they are required to be increasingly energy efficient, to reduce carbon emissions, increase employee well-being and improve operational efficiencies.
Thorlux are well positioned to assist developers and building occupiers with their ESG obligations, whilst also helping to achieve BREEAM Excellence, compliance with well building standards and much more.
Die Aufgabe
Distribution warehouses come in all shapes and sizes, but all have a common work process: goods are received, stored and then despatched. The storage period can vary from a few hours to weeks or even months. It is a pre-requisite that goods are not damaged whilst in storage and when required can be located quickly for speedy despatch.
Where high-value goods are stored in bulk, accidental damage needs to be avoided. Therefore, good lighting is essential to ensure they are moved safely and without damage.
Lighting Management Systems
Within warehouse applications lighting can be a significant part of the energy consumption. Large, bulky buildings use high output luminaires and energy is often wasted by leaving all areas fully illuminated when not occupied. The SmartScan lighting management system makes the most of maintained illuminance, daylight dimming and presence detection to ensure optimum energy savings, often measured in real applications to exceed 70%. SmartScan also monitors the performance of all luminaires so any fault can be reported promptly to the maintenance teams.

The extent and nature of the emergency lighting required in warehouse applications is determined by the type of occupancy, the size and complexity of the site and the work undertaken. The mounting height of emergency luminaires is a major consideration. Access for maintenance will be needed, so ideally luminaires should be installed at manageable mounting heights, for example, on walls or clamped onto pillars using Dexion or similar brackets.
Notleuchten sollten den gleichen Einbruchschutzstandard erfüllen wie die Allgemeinbeleuchtung. Hohe und niedrige Umgebungstemperaturen können für Batterien in autonomen und gewarteten Leuchten ein Problem darstellen. Wenden Sie sich daher bitte an unsere technische Hotline, um Rat zu erhalten.
Thorlux bietet eine breite Palette von Steuerungslösungen für Notbeleuchtungen, von Einzelnotbeleuchtungen bis hin zu umfassenden, drahtlosen Steuerungs- und Überwachungssystemen.
The emergency lighting design must take into account the following:
- Fluchtwegsbeschilderung
- Treppen (jede Treppenflucht muss direktes Licht haben)
- Stockwerksänderungen
- Richtungsänderungen des Fluchtwegs
- Korridorkreuzungen
- Erste-Hilfe-Stationen
- Feuermeldestellen oder Feuerschutzausrüstung
- Außerhalb der letzten Ausgangstür und von dort zu einem Evakuierungspunkt
- Rolltreppen und Laufbänder
- Toilettenräume über 8 m² oder Räume mit mehreren Kabinen ohne Oberlicht
- Toilettenräume für Menschen mit Behinderung
- Trafo-, Kontroll- und Technikräume
- Alle anderen in der Risikoanalyse identifizierten Bereiche
- Manuelle Öffnungsmechanismen für elektronisch verriegelte Türen
- Fluchtausrüstung für Menschen mit Behinderung
- Schutzräume und Meldestellen einschließlich Meldepunkte für Behindertentoiletten
Note: The majority of Thorlux luminaires are available with an integral emergency option including high output non-maintained luminaires ideal for greater mounting heights.
