Storage Warehouse Lighting Upgrade in Europe: XJ-HBF200W Project Notes

News LED Light Project​ 1980

Project Type: Storage Warehouse
Location: Europe
Installation Time: November 2024
Product Model: XJ-HBF200W
Quantity: 120 pcs
Brand: SEEKINGLED

This warehouse had a straightforward request at the beginning: stable light levels, no dark zones between aisles, and less manual control. The building itself was large, with long storage rows and regular movement, but not constant activity everywhere at the same time.

From the layout drawings, it was clear that fixture count would be high. The question was how to keep power density under control without lowering visibility on the floor.

Fixture Choice

We went with the XJ-HBF200W UFO High Bay mainly because of efficiency and form factor. At up to 200 lm/W, it allowed us to meet the target illuminance without pushing the wattage higher. The round UFO design also worked with the existing mounting points, which avoided structural changes.

Another factor was the integrated microwave motion sensor. This was not an add-on later; it was part of the initial plan. In storage areas like this, lights don’t need to run at full output all the time.

LED High Bay Lighting Targets and Calculations

Before installation, we set the average illuminance target at over 300 lux on the working plane. Uniformity mattered more than peak brightness. Shelving height and aisle spacing influenced spacing decisions, so the layout was adjusted more than once.

Final calculations showed uniformity above 0.7. That was acceptable for this type of warehouse. CRI was above 70, which matched the client’s requirement. Color accuracy was not a priority beyond that.

Installation and Sensor Setup

Installation took place in November 2024. All 120 fixtures were mounted according to the agreed layout. Sensor settings were tested zone by zone. Sensitivity and hold time needed adjustment; default settings were not ideal for forklift movement.

We spent time walking the aisles, stopping, restarting, checking response delays. That part always takes longer than expected.

After Power-On

Once everything was running, light levels were consistent across the floor. Motion-based dimming worked as intended after fine-tuning. No flicker issues were observed during start-up or sensor switching.

This Storage Warehouse Lighting Upgrade in Europe ended up being more about balance than output—light where needed, lower power where not.
