Lighting for Logistics
LOGISTICS LIGHTING
Light that elevates efficiency
We know logistics
The logistics industry has seen unprecedented growth over the past decade, driven by a shift in consumer behaviour and the demand for rapid point-to-point deliveries. As logistics sites increasingly operate 24/7, the need for energy-efficient lighting has surged. From simple LED replacements to advanced control systems, Thorn Lighting offers solutions designed to maximise energy savings, enhance productivity, and support the evolving demands of logistics operations.
FROM THE OUTSIDE-IN
Starting with security and safety
As logistics sites increasingly become 24/7 operations, there is a growing requirement to manage site security. This is where the lighting installation can help visibility for security teams and if implemented correctly, can work as a support element for CCTV systems.
From goods-in to goods-out and from the main car park to main entrance, lighting can have a significant impact on the wayfinding experience for visitors and employees. Additionally, whilst lighting has a positive impact on site security and colleague safety, luminaire solutions from Thorn balance these needs alongside the needs of local biodiversity. Our NightTune technology ensures that colour temperature and light output respects local biodiversity.

GETTING THE OPTICS RIGHT
LIGHTING FOR HIGH AND LOW RACK STORAGE
Storage areas within a logistics site often vary between items picked regularly and slower moving stock items. This means that high rack storage solutions can be extremely popular to ensure that space is optimised.
In these areas, it’s important that the lighting solution utilises the right optics to ensure that even in narrow aisles, the lit effect provides excellent, safe light levels for when forklift equipment is required whilst ensuring location and storage signage is clear for all to see.
When it comes to low rack areas, light does more than just help people see. The product picking process comes with a risk of mis-picking and poor lighting can enhance this risk and can also increase the number of accidents across the site.
Making sure that you’re getting the right light level, the correct light quality and maximising energy saving potential for a specific project can have a significant impact on the wellbeing of staff and visitors and the site’s sustainability credentials.
