A well-lit warehouse isn't just about brightness—it's about choosing the right type of lighting for each specific zone and task. In today’s market, there are several options beyond just LED, and each comes with its own benefits depending on your space, budget, and operational needs.
Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent tubes (such as T8 and T5) remain a solid choice for general warehouse lighting. They’re cost-effective, widely available, and provide uniform light across wide areas. Many warehouses still rely on fluorescents for their balance of performance and affordability, especially in non-24/7 operations.

LED Batten Lights
LEDs are now the go-to solution for many industrial and commercial applications. Known for their energy efficiency and long lifespan, they are ideal for high-bay areas, aisles, and cold storage where lighting needs to be reliable and long-lasting. From LED tubes to high-bay fixtures and motion-sensor systems, LEDs offer flexibility and major long-term savings.
LED Highbays & Corn Lights
LED highbay fixtures and corn lights are ideal for large warehouses with high ceilings. They provide powerful, uniform lighting while significantly reducing energy consumption. These fixtures are perfect for storage facilities, distribution centres, and production areas. Corn lights, with their 360° beam angle, are an excellent retrofit option for replacing metal halide or mercury vapor bulbs in enclosed fixtures—offering greater efficiency, longer lifespan, and lower maintenance costs.
Halogen Lights
Though less common in industrial settings, halogen lights may be used in specific task-oriented zones where intense, focused light is needed. They're not as energy-efficient but provide clear, crisp illumination in areas like inspection stations or offices within the warehouse.

UV and Specialized Lighting
Some warehouses dealing with products that require sterilization, disinfection, or UV-sensitive processes may use ultraviolet (UV) lights. These are specialized solutions for niche operations like pharmaceutical or food-grade storage.
Choosing the right lighting for your warehouse depends on your layout, operating hours, safety needs, and energy goals. From traditional fluorescent tubes to modern LED and specialty lighting, a smart mix of lighting types can improve efficiency, visibility, and overall operations.
