Specifying high-bay warehouse lighting with continuous LED lines, controlled beams, Dialux study and measurable savings in Dakar and Abidjan

High-bay warehouses (12–18 m) require precise lighting: floor guidance, aisle label reading, safety of movement and energy efficiency. In Dakar, Diamniadio, Abidjan or Yopougon, the solution combines continuous LED lines or high-bay luminaires with controlled beams, smart detection and dimming profiles. Here is a step-by-step method to ensure performance and ROI.

Study the volume and uses

Map out the racks (height, centre-to-centre spacing), aisles (width), picking stations and preparation areas. Model several variants in Dialux: continuous lines aligned with bays using deep aisle optics, or high-bays on equilateral grids with wide optics.

Choose continuous lines vs high-bay

Continuous lines simplify installation, allow section-by-section maintenance and offer interchangeable optics (aisle, wide, asymmetric). High-bays are suitable when the structure prevents in-line installation or for very specific areas.

Detection, dimming and remote management

Zoned detection turns on the aisle when a trolley passes; dimming maintains a standby level when there is no activity. Remote management exposes status, faults, on-time and temperatures; it supports preventive maintenance.

Operations and TCO

Standardise luminaires and optics, document references and diagrams, keep critical stock (drivers, optics). In coastal areas, favour anti-corrosion and UV-resistant gaskets. Acceptance testing checks lux, uniformity and UGR.
