The typical modern 5000 to 10,000m2 warehouse has around 50% of its floor area visited for less than 10% of the day. Trucks and forklifts deliver and retrieve pallets in less than 3 minutes and return within 30 minutes; that is activity for 10% of the functional day, or, on average, 6 minutes each hour.
If the lamps were dimmed during the 54 minutes of no activity there can be a saving of 90% of the power consumed in that space. Averaged across the total space, there can be a 45% reduction in the total energy used.
Replacing the old 400w mercury vapour lamps with zükt® 120w LED high bays, power consumption will be reduced by a further 70%, and if the lamps turn off when the area is unoccupied, total consumption can be reduced by up to 95%!
All of the above benefits can be achieved on a per-light fixture basis through the use of the unique VABOSS Intelligent Lighting Controller.
By integrating the controller to the zükt® LED high bay fixture, all energy benefits can be achieved without needing to rewire control cabling and sensors, installing a central control system or developing site-specific lighting control programs.
