In server rooms, every watt of lighting becomes heat that cooling systems must remove. Specifying fixtures exceeding 150 lm/W reduces the lighting heat load, decreasing cooling energy and costs.
Easy
Budget
Approach Detail
Require minimum 150 lm/W fixture efficacy. Calculate watts required for target illuminance. Compare cooling cost: each lighting watt costs approximately 0.3 additional cooling watts. Choose remote drivers where possible to remove driver heat. Consider LED replacement vs fixture replacement if retrofit.
Technical focus. Table comparing standard vs high-efficacy options with total heat calculation. This is engineering optimization, not aesthetic design. Numbers matter.
Best For
All server room applications, facilities optimizing PUE, energy-cost-conscious operations.
