Efficiency and innovation are at the heart of Rapid Logistics’ new state-of-the-art distribution centre at Schiphol Trade Park—and TRILUX has played a key role in bringing that vision to life. Working alongside project partners, TRILUX delivered a complete lighting solution designed to maximise performance, comfort, and energy efficiency across the 26,000 m² facility.
A Tailored Lighting Plan for Every Area
The distribution hub comprises 19,923 m² of warehouse space, 3,428 m² of office area, 3,220 m² of mezzanine floor, and an integrated parking facility. The goal was clear: develop a lighting scheme that balances operational efficiency with user comfort while helping the building achieve top sustainability credentials.
TRILUX provided a full LED solution, including E-Line continuous line systems for uniform, high-performance illumination in the warehouse, and Siella LED panels, Sonnos, and Ambiella downlights in the office spaces to ensure visual comfort for staff throughout the day.
Smart Control for Smarter Energy Use
A key element of the solution is the implementation of a sensor-based lighting management system, ensuring luminaires are only activated when needed. This on-demand approach significantly reduces unnecessary energy use—crucial for both operational cost savings and long-term sustainability targets.
Further supporting connectivity and future flexibility, TRILUX integrated Polymer Optical Fibre (POF) as part of the lighting infrastructure. This lightweight, digital-ready system opens the door for future data applications and optimisation opportunities across the logistics operation.
Sustainability Without Compromise
Despite the challenges posed by grid congestion, TRILUX’s solution helped Rapid Logistics deliver a fully off-grid, BREEAM Excellent-certified facility. The lighting installation was completed efficiently in close coordination with the installation partner, demonstrating what can be achieved with the right combination of technology, teamwork and vision.
The result is a future-ready lighting solution that supports Rapid Logistics’ operational needs while reinforcing its environmental ambitions.
