About Warehouse Lighting
Warehouse lighting is one of the highest-impact LED upgrade opportunities in commercial buildings. With ceilings ranging from 15 to 50 feet and fixtures running 12-24 hours daily, the energy savings from switching to LED high bays are dramatic. Auvolar warehouse lighting solutions include UFO high bays (100W-240W) for open floor areas and linear high bays (165W-220W) for racking aisles. All fixtures are DLC Premium certified, qualifying for utility rebates that can cover 30-70% of fixture costs. Our free photometric layout service ensures optimal fixture placement for uniform illumination meeting IES and OSHA standards.
