As an LED street light manufacturer with more than twelve years of export experience, I have supplied lighting to logistics parks, ports, and industrial zones in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and South America. Many buyers start a project by asking for wattage and price. But a good lighting design depends on a set of parameters that work together. If one is wrong, the whole road suffers. Here are the key ones I check with every customer.
Illuminance and Uniformity
Illuminance (lux) tells you how bright the road surface is, and uniformity tells you how evenly the light is spread. For trunk roads, an average of about 15 to 30 lux is common, while gates, docks and intersections need roughly 100 to 200 lux in work areas. But brightness alone is not enough. Dark gaps between poles are where accidents happen, so always check the uniformity ratio in your design report. Good LED street lights for logistics parks should come with IES files, so your designer can confirm the numbers in DIALux before you order.
Mounting Height and Pole Spacing
Mounting height and spacing decide how far the light can travel. Trunk roads usually use 8 to 12 meter poles, branch roads 6 to 8 meters, and staff walkways 4 to 6 meters. Pole spacing is typically 3.5 to 4 times the mounting height, with closer spacing at curves, gates and intersections. Do not choose the fixture first and the pole later. Plan them together.
Beam Distribution and Glare Control
A Type II or Type III beam suits straight roads, while Type IV or Type V suits open yards and intersections. Glare is just as important: a driver in a high truck cab cannot afford to be dazzled, even for two seconds. Choose fixtures with good cut-off optics, so light goes to the road and not into the driver's eyes.
Color Temperature and Color Rendering
I recommend 4000K to 5000K with CRI 70 or above for roads and work areas. This makes lane lines, traffic signs, and cargo labels sharp and easy to recognize. For walkways, 3000K to 4000K feels more comfortable at night. It is a small detail that many buyers overlook.
Protection Rating, Surge Protection and Supplier Reliability
Logistics parks mean dust, heavy rain, heat, and lightning. I suggest IP66 or higher, IK08 impact resistance, and built-in surge protection of 6kV to 10kV as the minimum. Replacing one fixture on a 10-meter pole means hiring a lift, closing a lane, and losing working hours, so I always advise working with an LED lighting supplier with 5 year warranty and a real factory behind it. As an LED lighting OEM manufacturer, we also customize wattage, beam angle, color temperature, and branding for project buyers and distributors. Our quality standards include:
- Branded LED chips and drivers, 100% aging test before packing
- Die-cast aluminum housing, IP66 / IK08, CE and RoHS certified, with IES files and test reports for DIALux design
When a customer asks me for a 5-year warranty, I can say yes with confidence, because we test before shipment, not after complaints.
Conclusion
A good logistics park lighting design balances illuminance, uniformity, pole height, spacing, beam type, glare control, color quality and protection level. Our LED street lights are built with strict quality control, so they deliver the stable performance your design promises, year after year.
