Hi, Thank you for your question. The number of fixtures depends on how the warehouse space will be used.
For a 5,000 sq. ft. warehouse with a 16 ft. clearance height:
• For general storage use, approximately 10 fixtures should provide about 25 foot-candles average brightness.
• For a working area, packing area, or task space, we would recommend closer to 40 foot-candles, which would require approximately 18 fixtures.
Actual fixture quantity may vary depending on the building layout, rack height, wall color, and required brightness level.
Please feel free to contact us Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–6:00 PM EST, and we would be happy to help review your space and recommend the best layout.
