How to replace a warehouse bulb with a high ceiling?

A common problem for warehouse managers and owners is the safe maintenance of high ceiling lighting fixtures. Conventional metal halide and fluorescent bulbs have a limited lifespan. This leads to frequent maintenance, including the need for scaffolding, the inconvenience of accessing hard-to-reach places, and the labor costs of assembling/disassembling scaffolding and replacing it.

However, there is a neat trick that can cut down on bulb replacement forever:

Upgrade your warehouse building - all of it, all of it, at once to LED technology. Not only will this greatly reduce the frequency of these high-ceiling lighting maintenance tasks; This will also save your company energy costs. Read on to find out how much money you can save.

Why does LED lighting solve your high ceiling bulb problem

Long-life

LED lamps have a much longer life than traditional metal halide lamps and fluorescent lamps. On average, LED lights can last up to 50,000 hours or more, while metal halide lamps and fluorescent lamps usually go out after 15,000-20,000 and 10,000-15,000 hours, respectively. By switching to LED lights, you'll significantly reduce the number of times you need to change lights, which means fewer trips to high ceilings.

Energy efficiency

LED lights consume much less energy than metal halide lamps and fluorescent lamps, and can actually save 50 to 80 percent of energy. This reduces the warehouse's overall energy consumption and saves on utility costs. How much money?

If you replace 20 400W metal halide lamps with 150W LED lights in a warehouse on three shifts, you will save about $26,000 on your energy bill over the next five years, based on the average commercial electricity price in the United States. If you're in a state with high energy costs, those savings can add up to more, sometimes a lot more. For example, with an average commercial electricity price of 22.78 cents/KWH in California, the energy savings would amount to nearly $50,000. In Hawaii, you can save more than $93,000 in energy.

Another feature of LED lighting is that it generates less heat. This helps to reduce the overall temperature of the warehouse. Reducing the load on the equipment's air conditioning contributes to further energy savings.

Improved light quality

LED lights provide uniform lighting, reduce black spots and improve visibility in the warehouse. This enhanced lighting quality can create a safer and more productive work environment for your employees.

Environmentally friendly

LED lights do not contain harmful substances such as mercury that are present in fluorescent lamps. This makes LED lighting a greener option for your warehouse. In addition, their longer life means fewer bulbs end up in landfills, reducing waste.
Benefits of replacing all warehouse lights at once

By choosing to replace all of your warehouse lights with LED fixtures at once, you can get something in return.

1. Save costs
   Not only do the long-term savings in energy and maintenance costs make it a worthwhile investment, but your lighting upgrade may qualify for valuable incentives from your utility provider. In some areas, this can reduce the cost of new lighting to as little as $1 per fixture plus sales tax.
   Replacing all the lights at once also allows you to take advantage of volume discounts and professional installation deals, further reducing costs.
2. Consistent lighting quality
   Also upgrade lighting in all warehouses to ensure consistent lighting quality throughout the facility. This helps eliminate differences in brightness and color temperature that may occur when changing the lamp one by one.
3. Minimize interruptions
   Replacing the lights in all warehouses at once reduces the overall disruption to operations. Instead of frequently interrupting work to replace a single burned out bulb, you can schedule a separate installation process to minimize downtime.
   Upgrading warehouse lighting to LED technology is a smart investment that can provide tangible benefits. By replacing all the lights at once, you can save time and money while improving the overall lighting quality, energy efficiency and environmental impact of your warehouse.
