INDUSTRIAL LED LIGHTING: ADVANTAGES IN ITS USE

The energy efficiency and considerable lifespan of LED technology holds the potential to change the way industrial lighting is developed, reducing both the cost of electricity and overall energy consumption.
Today energy consumption and caring for the environment play a fundamental role in our industry, and it is not a matter to be taken lightly. There are several aspects that must be considered when planning how to illuminate a space, be it a factory or an office.
When it comes to designing the industrial lighting of a space with LED technology, there are several aspects that play a very important role:

  • Environmental requirements: such as the ideal temperatures for work environments, mercury-free products, low CO2 emissions, among others.
  • Lighting level: Here, in the first instance, we must take into account the necessary levels according to the type of industry according to the current standard, although in some cases, it is also necessary to define the lighting levels based on the task that is done.
  • Lighting systems: The definition of this point depends on several factors, although one of the most important is the type of building, direction of light, contribution of natural light and hours of daily use.
    Protection and safety: It is important to verify if the luminaires should be protected against humidity or dust, each product has a different degree of protection (IP) depending on the environment where it will be installed and the voltage peaks of the electrical supply with which they will operate. .
    Now that awareness of caring for the environment is gaining momentum, and facility managers and owners are trying to save costs whenever possible, industrial lighting with LED technology comes to solve some of those problems.

Why use LED industrial lighting?

  1. LED lighting is a great option for industrial lighting. LEDs' power consumption, durability, and controllability help create an extremely favorable return on investment in industrial lighting projects:
  2. Power Consumption: LED lighting uses 50% to 90% less energy to produce the same amount of light as traditional light sources, resulting in cost savings.
  3. Durability: Being solid state components, LED lights differ from incandescent and fluorescent bulbs in that they do not contain tubes or filaments. Therefore, they are much less prone to damage from external shocks.
  4. Longer lifespan: LED lights have an average 50,000-hour lifespan, depending on the application. Many installations use HID bulbs for their industrial lighting, but they only last 1,000 to 5,000 hours. The long lifespan of LEDs translates into maintenance and replacement costs, which are much lower when compared to traditional light sources.
  5. Environmental - LED lights are mercury and CFC free, last longer and produce less waste, and are made from fully recyclable materials. Even aluminum fixtures and LED housings can be made from recycled material.
  6. Instant start: LED luminaires turn on very quickly. A typical LED will reach its maximum brightness in less than a second. This means you can keep low-traffic areas on a motion sensor and have the lights come on when someone approaches the area. No more lighting of unused areas in your industrial facility.
  7. Quiet Operation: With LED lights, there is not the typical hum of the old fluorescent tubes frequently used in industrial lighting.
  8. Heat: Industrial LED lights produce much less heat than traditional sources, which means that confined areas do not require as much ventilation compared to older light sources. When considering LEDs for industrial lighting, this is one of the biggest advantages, as LEDs really help offset your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning costs.
  9. Cold temperatures: Unlike fluorescent light sources, cold temperatures do not affect the performance of LEDs. In fact, cold temperatures can help extend the life of an LED bulb, as heat is the main contributing factor to the loss of life in an LED.
  10. Dimming: Most LEDs can easily dim their light via a motion sensor as part of the lighting system.
