Solutions for the aisle and the pitch
Two places where the lighting decision starts with a standard and a layout: a warehouse roof line, and a sports field after dark.
A luminaire is easy to compare and hard to specify. The document that decides a project is the one written before the fixture: the class or the maintained level, the mounting height, the geometry of the space and what has to be measured when the scheme is handed over. Each page below works through those in the order a designer asks them, then points at the builds that answer them.
Racking geometry, the structure overhead, the uniformity the aisle needs and the controls that decide the payback.

The three things that decide the order, in the order they are asked.
- The requirement first. The class or the maintained level, and who signs it off.
- The geometry second. Mounting height, spacing and the structure or pole that carries it.
- The proof after that. The calculation, the aiming plan and what is measured at handover.
- Written for
- The person who has to produce the design brief
- Not written for
- A wattage comparison between two fittings
- Then what
- A calculation, a schedule and a specification sheet
Send the layout and the class.
Dimensions, mounting heights and the requirement is enough to quote a calculation and a schedule.
