CRITICAL DESIGN ISSUES:
Horizontal and Vertical Illuminance: Toplighting is one strategy to introduce
daylight and provide uniform light levels. Electric lighting, such as linear
fluorescent lamps can provide direct and indirect lighting when daylight
levels are insufficient.
Source/Task Eye Geometry: Locate luminaires to minimize direct glare and
to light shelves uniformly with minimal shadowing.
Color Appearance and Contrast: In warehouses, individuals may need to
locate and sort items. Provide lamp sources with a high color-rendering
index to accurately portray colors and labels.
Target Vertical Illuminance ( 10%): Varies with use of space: 50 lux (5 fc)
for inactive storage - 300 lux (30 fc) for active warehousing.
