Warehouse Uses
Aisles get direction lines, hazard zones a clear mark, and the dispatch area a brand or safety signal. Because it is light, a lean re-layout just means a new gobo.
Rugged, dust-tolerant units suit the environment.
Warehouse Checklist
- Dust-tolerant rugged housing.
- Floor-line and zone gobos.
- IP-rated for loading bays.
- Adequate throw for tall racks.
- Simple control for ops staff.
Warehouse Comparison
| Mark | Unit | Power | Spot |

| Aisle line | IP65 logo | 50 W | 3 to 6 m |
| Hazard zone | IP65 logo | 50 W | 3 to 6 m |

| Exterior bay | IP65 150 W | 150 W | 10 to 20 m |
Adapting to Lean
When the layout changes, swap the gobo rather than repaint. Keep a labelled set of floor-line gobos for fast re-marks.
Brightness for Warehouses
Warehouses are brightly lit; 50 W holds a floor mark. High racks may need careful aim to keep the line on the floor.
Mistakes
- Fragile unit in a tough environment.
- Weak mark lost in bright light.
- Non-weatherproof bay fixture.
- Beam into forklift paths carelessly.
