Warehouse LED Lighting Standards And Regulations
Industry Standards and Regulations (Mandatory Compliance)
OSHA Standards (USA)
-
General industrial warehouse minimum illuminance: 20 lumens/sq.ft (200 Lux) (for aisles and non-precision work areas).
-
Precision operation areas: Recommended ≥ 50 lumens/sq.ft (500 Lux).
IESNA (Illuminating Engineering Society of North America) Standards
-
Storage areas: 100 - 300 Lux (10 - 30 lumens/sq.ft).
-
Sorting/packaging areas: 300 - 1000 Lux (30 - 100 lumens/sq.ft).
China GB 50034-2013 (Architectural Lighting Design Standard)
-
General warehouse: 100 - 200 Lux (10 - 20 lumens/sq.ft).
-
Large logistics warehouse: 200 - 300 Lux (20 - 30 lumens/sq.ft).
-
Precision product warehouse: 300 - 500 Positives (30 - 50 lumens/sq.ft).
Safety and Compliance Supplements
Emergency Lighting
-
All warehouses must have emergency lighting with illuminance ≥ 10 Lux (1 lumen/sq.ft), with a minimum power supply duration of ≥ 90 minutes (complying with fire safety standards).
Glare Control
-
Forklift traffic zones and manual operation areas must avoid direct light into workers’ eyes. Use diffuse lampshades or anti-glare grilles (UGR ≤ 25).
Illuminance Uniformity
-
Work area uniformity (minimum illuminance/average illuminance) ≥ 0.7 to avoid visual fatigue due to uneven lighting.
