Different LED Industrial Lighting Solutions to use for Your Next Industrial Project

What is Industrial Lighting:  

Industrial lighting plays a very important element to the safety and performance of various manufacturing environments. It is typically installed in warehouses, factories and manufacturing plants. It is extremely vital for these working environments to be lit properly, to eliminate hazards and other dangerous conditions. The brightness of the industrial lighting increases the visibility in the work environment making it easier for employees to perform their work responsibilities more accurately and increases the safety in the work place.   

Within industrial settings, lighting is required to be on for long periods of time which can consume high volumes of energy. As a result, industrial lighting can expensive and cause a strain on the operation costs of the business. However, that doesn’t have to be the case, as LED lighting has replaced conventional lighting fixtures. LED lighting fixtures have been designed to reduce energy consumption, provide higher lumen output and lower maintenance costs.  

The Key Benefits of Industrial Lighting: 

There are many benefits to installing industrial lighting to your project:  

Increased Energy Efficiency:  

The key benefit of installing LED industrial lighting to your project is the reduced energy consumption. Traditional conventional lighting systems are account to 80% of energy costs therefore can cause a major strain on the operational costs of a business. The LED industrial lighting produces high lumen outputs at a low wattage which saves reduces energy consumption.  

Big Savings: 

The upfront costs of LED industrial lighting can be intimating for many businesses, however, LED industrial lighting will provide major savings in future. The lighting system has a long operational expectancy averaging 40,000 hours. The long life expectancy means there will be little maintenance required which will save the end consumer money. The major savings allows the business to use the savings allocate for different areas in the business.  

Improved Safety: 

Within industrial environments, appropriate measures must be taken in order to ensure the safety of the place as well as the employees. LED industrial lighting will increase the visibility in the work place and minimize the possibilities of accidents and hazards.  

Increase Performance: 

An well-lit environment also increases employees productivity to ensure work tasks are completed accurately and at the highest standard. Installing LED industrial lighting will help create a safe work environment. LED lighting systems are available in varied colour temperature which can be tailored to the requirements of your work environment. Dim and dull lighting can decrease the motivation of employees and pose a potential hazard in the work environment. Therefore, it is important to use bright white day lighting or cool white lighting to provide the perfect amount of illumination to increase staff productivity and motivation levels.  

Types of Industrial Lighting:  

Different industrial facilities will require different LED lighting to meet the demanding requirements of their work environment. Therefore, it is important to install the correct LED industrial light to improve work efficiency, reduce human errors, boost work productivity and concentration levels. There are different types of industrial lighting that could be beneficial to your next lighting project such as:  

LED High Bays  

LED high bays are naturally a better fit for industrial and commercial spaces. As the name indicates, the high bays are intended for use in a ceiling ranging from 20-45 in height from the floor. Whereas, low bays are intended for use in ceilings under 20 feet.  

The LED high bays provides higher lumen output to compensate for the greater distance compared to low bay fixtures. The higher lumen output will provide the bright lighting to all the vital areas while avoiding shadows. The key benefits of LED high bays is the lighting system provides a clear, uniform lighting with little glare. The lighting fixture offers long life expectancy and energy efficiency in comparison to the traditional lighting fixtures.  

At Meteor Electrical, we have a range of Kosnic’s LED high bays which is an extremely high performing and energy saving lighting solution. The Kosnic LED Echo High Bay range are available in wattages ranging from 100W to 200W and suitable for general industrial areas, warehousing and retail environments.  

Kosnic’s 100W LED Echo High Bay:  

1. High lumen efficiency of 122 lm/W 
2. Class I 
3. IP65 
4. IK10 
5. Diecast aluminium body 
6. Suspension installation 
7. Instant start

LED Battens  

LED batten fixtures are the energy efficient alternative for fluorescent tube fixtures. The LED technology increases energy efficiency while providing a higher lumen output at a lower cost. 

The lighting fixture provides a high quality lighting at a lower beam angle which causes less strain on the eyes. Another key benefit of LED battens is the exceptional durability and long life expectancy of 40,000 hours. The lighting system can last for years with minimal maintenance which has a positive impact on the environment. The LED battens have a IP65 rating which implies that the lighting fixture is tough and resistance therefore able to cope with dust and water ingress. Therefore LED battens are extremely suitable for industrial environments. 

Our popular range of LED battens  consists the ideal replacement for fluorescent tube while providing high energy savings! Our LED battens are available in different wattages and are colour changeable which is an benefit for upgrading. The Kosnic NIVA Single Batten has many key features including:  

Kosnic 30W Niva Single LED Batten:  

1. Offers outstanding lumen effiency of 126lm/W 
2. Utilise high performance  
3. Instant start  
4. Class 1 Protection  
5. 40,000 hours life expectancy  
6. Colour changeable from 3000K, 4000K or 6000K  
7. Optional plug in emergency module  

Non-Corrosive LED Fittings:  

In many industrial environments, particularly in warehouses and factories, will require damp-proof luminaires that can resist residues in the air. LED non-corrosive fittings are manufactured with ABS and polycarbonate materials which increases the durability of the lighting system which will save the end consumer on energy usage and maintenance costs. The LED non corrosive fittings are designed to be waterproof, dustproof, shock resistant and resistant to corrosion. The LED technology also means the lighting system will not require any warm up therefore, will instantly illuminate the area. 

Our most popular non-corrosive LED fitting is the Luka 5ft LED vapour proof fitting. The non-corrosive LED fitting is able to provide a uniform light with a wide beam angle and is easy to install. The range is available in wattages ranging from 30-54W and available as an emergency option.
