Shelving and light are
the same thing
Shelving without light is a steel frame. Shelving with light is selling space. So we plan the two together — 11 Wanzl shelving models for the sales floor and 4 ACE SITHA LED models for under-shelf and chiller use. One quotation, one installation.
Order them separately, pay twice
Most stores buy the shelving first and look for lighting afterwards. The result is light rails that do not line up with the slot pitch of the uprights: extra drilling, cabling run a second time, and two visits from the fitters. That second visit usually costs more than the lights themselves.
Every Wanzl shelving model has a fixed, published slot pitch — 50 millimetres on WS-01 and WS-03, 25 millimetres on WS-02 and the category-specific ranges. Know that figure at the design stage and the rail positions, the run lengths and the power connections are set along with the shelf layout, not after the shelving is standing.
The plan above shows what sits where, but it cannot show why the lighting positions are fixed along with the shelves, because a plan has no vertical axis. Below is an elevation and a section through a single WS-01 bay: the column of slots in the upright, the shelves locked into those slots, and a light rail under every shelf on the same pitch.
What you get by ordering them together
One drawing — shelf positions and light positions on the same sheet, so the electricians and the shelving fitters work from the same document · One delivery — everything reaches site together, with no shelving in storage waiting for lights and no lights waiting for shelving · One point of responsibility — if the lighting does not fit the shelves, we put it right; there is no second supplier to pass it to
Chillers follow the same logic, but the variables change from slot pitch to the temperature range the cabinet actually runs at and where the light has to sit. The first decides between SLK, rated −20 to +25 °C, and SRL, rated −30 to +35 °C. The second decides between an under-shelf unit and a door-frame unit. Both are IP65 units, and a dry-zone under-shelf model cannot be used instead.
Eleven shelving models, four lighting models
On the shelving side there are four core systems — the WS-01 and WS-02 wire mesh, the European WS-03 and the American WS-04 — plus seven category-specific ranges. On the lighting side the split is by environment: two IP20 models for under-shelf use in dry zones, and two IP65 models for chillers.

Which shelving goes with which light
The table is a starting point, not a rule — our sales team will adjust it to your shelf heights, aisle widths and actual product categories once they have seen the floor plan.
| Zone in store | Shelving | Lighting | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| General dry goods | WS-01 · WS-02 | SNK | A slim profile and even light that does not glare at anyone standing in front of the shelf |
| Cosmetics · premium lines | WS-07 | MNK | A continuous line of light along the run, with no dark gap where sections join |
| Convenience stores | WS-08 | SNK | Shallow shelves and narrow aisles — the light has to be slim so it does not eat into the shelf height |
| End-of-aisle · promotions | WS-10 | MNK | Seen from all four sides, so the line of light has to run right around the unit |
| At the checkout | WS-11 | SNK | Add-on purchases made while queuing, which have to read clearly at close range |
| Chillers · glass-door cabinets | Your existing cabinet | SLK | IP65, rated −20 to +25 °C, in under-shelf and door-frame versions |
| Freezers · categories where colour has to be right | Your existing cabinet | SRL | IP65, rated −30 to +35 °C · CRI 90 · 50,000 h rated life |
