Industrial - Lighting

Luminaid illuminates the Bidfood Netherlands distribution center.

For the new production and logistics facility of Bidfood Nederland in Poeldijk, a complete lighting system has been implemented for both chilled and frozen storage areas. A combination was chosen of the LT system with an external driver and emergency power supply, and the AC system, which can be connected directly to 220V. Both DATALUX solutions are fully aligned with each other, allowing them to operate seamlessly side by side without any loss in lighting quality. To minimize energy consumption, smart sensors have been installed in various areas that automatically switch off the lighting when no activity is detected. In the reference video below, installer Jurgen Sulsters from Hoppenbrouwers Techniek provides an explanation of the project and the lighting solutions used.

  • Bidfood Netherlands
  • ABC Westland in Poeldijk

Features of both systems:

  • Dust- and splash-proof (IP65) and impact-resistant (IK10)
  • Hygienic and easy to maintain thanks to the round polycarbonate housing
  • Also suitable for HACCP environments, cold rooms, and freezer cells

In the warehouses, narrow-beam lenses were used to ensure that light reaches efficiently down to floor level, while in other areas wide and ultra-wide lenses provide a broad and evenly distributed lighting pattern.

An external DCEM30DX emergency power unit was also installed. In the event of a power failure, it automatically activates the emergency circuit over a length of 105 meters (35 segments of 3 meters), which remains illuminated for one hour at 80 lumens per luminaire. This is sufficient to ensure safe and clearly visible evacuation routes.

The installation was carried out efficiently thanks to straightforward mounting, clear guidance, and careful completion. In close cooperation with Hoppenbrouwers Techniek and Bidfood Nederland, the design was fully aligned with the end user’s requirements during the engineering phase.
