High-Bay Applications

Although LEDs were once not recommended for use in high-bay applications, there are now several  Commercial led lighting fixtures designed specifically for high-bay installation. This means that they follow recommended technical specifications for light output, lumen density, luminaire efficacy, etc.

The fixtures options also allow you to choose specific lighting patterns to improve safety, productivity, and energy efficiency.

Temperature Fluctuations

Commercial led lighting  luminaires can now provide lighting levels recommended by the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America while also withstanding high ambient temperatures in industrial environments.

LEDs now perform at least equally as well as compared to fluorescent and HID lamps in high temperatures, as long as they are designed to manage heat dissipation.

LEDs also perform well in cold temperatures. Refrigerated plants or warehouses don’t impact LED performance, and don’t add to the thermal load. Commercial led lighting  which is often used in these environments, can also handle the cold temperatures, but adds substantial thermal load. To maintain low temperatures, this thermal load has to be removed – which costs money and is inefficient.

Narrow Spaces

The inherently compact design of Commercial led lighting allows them to be used in small, cramped, or tight spaces. This means that they can fit into narrow spaces without sacrificing performance.

Brightness

LEDs initially offered a limited light output range; this sometimes made them not bright enough for high-intensity industrial applications. That no longer holds true today. Industrial facilities have a wide range of Commercial led lighting to choose from so they can select an appropriate lighting intensity level.

Despite the now-possible bright lighting levels, well-designed  Commercial led lighting  can also minimize glare and manage light placement. The lamps emit light directionally, meaning that the light is focused where you want it.

Color Temperature

LEDs now have excellent color-temperature choices for industrial environments. Described using the Kelvin scale, the wide range of white color-temperature choices for Commercial led lighting make them ideal for industrial applications where quality control, detail, and inspection are important. Color temperature is often a personal preference as well, so industrial lighting can be chosen to match what workers in a particular area may need or want.

Existing-Fixture Reuse

If the fixtures in your plant are newer or in good condition, and the design and layout of the lighting system meets your needs, then a completely new LED lighting system may no longer be necessary. Instead, Commercial led lighting retrofit kits are available for industrial environments; they can transform existing fixtures, allowing you to install LED lamps into the equipment you already have.

It is important to note, however, that, if an Commercial led lighting  is fully enclosed in an existing fixture (in a fluorescent fixture with a lens, for example), less effective heat dissipation may occur, which can negatively impact the performance of an LED. These lamps reach their full life expectancy when they are operated in open fixtures with appropriate ventilation.
