A tunnel is a special environment, and it's very likely that lighting engineers may not be familiar with such spaces. As a result, they may face challenges in selecting the appropriate LED tunnel lights to start their project. Additionally, today’s buyers are confronted with seemingly endless options, leading to shopping frustration and a serious case of decision fatigue.
Therefore, how to choose and by what standards becomes a very real concern for consumers. As a company with extensive experience in industrial lighting across various applications, we believe it is our responsibility to help consumers analyze, explore, choose, decide, and ultimately purchase the ideal product.
1. Good Stability
If tunnel is not illuminated, it is an absolutely dark place, except for the entrance and exist these two special points where probably get some light from nature. So, it is not hard to image how unsafe it is for the drivers when they are passing through the tunnels or underpasses without light. In addition, when the supplied lighting is not so stable, which will cause visual disturbance to motormen as well.
It is precisely because safe driving is something to be taken very seriously and a matter of life and death. Therefore, we advise putting the performance of a stable LED tunnel light in the first place.
2. Long Working Lifetime
Long working life time means that fewer times of replacement and less cost and consumption on additional manpower and material resources. This will become a significant advantage for you to complete the desired lighting project.
Moreover, there is nothing wrong with choosing longer lifespan luminaires. Since almost all of us prefer and tend to choose a product of quality comparatively speaking, while the serving time of a product, to a certain extent, becomes the reflection that a product is good or bad.
3. High Lighting Efficiency
When starting a lighting project, there are always many options to consider. However, it is essential to ensure that the lighting meets the basic required level of brightness. At the very least, it should comply with the illuminance standards for a construction site. Generally speaking, given the same required light level, there is a negative correlation between the number of lighting fixtures used in the plan and the brightness of each luminaire.
The point is to have something that guides you. Lighting efficacy is a very helpful guiding factor in pointing you toward selecting a suitable and high-efficiency lighting fixture. Higher lighting efficiency stands for less amount of fixtures needed, lower installation costs, less project budget, and safer lighting service.
4. Uniformity
Uniformity is also an important element of lighting that need to be considered in tunnel this working environment. Since the more symmetrical light spreads, a better visual effect is provided. Uniform illumination has a significant influence on increasing security for drivers and markedly reducing the accident rate. Therefore, uniformity is regarded as a factor that cannot be ignored in many industrial lighting applications. The same is to be true for tunnel lighting.
5. Anti-Glare
Glare is excessive and uncontrolled brightness.the glare from light fixtures will create a poor driving environment and make motormen feel uncomfortable and tense because of visual interference. The environment of tunnels or underpasses generally occurs in a relatively large space. The chance of triggering potential security problems is a bit higher than in other sections of the road. So, it is necessary to choose lighting settings with an anti-glare feature. Because such lighting fixtures can provide drivers with a clear sight.
So, before purchasing, you had better ask your suppliers about what methods they adopt or what measures they take to reduce the glare of their LED tunnel lights. In this way, you can choose the best solution and maximally enhance the satisfaction of your customers.
6. Special Optic Design
Special, diverse, and professional optic design ensures an outstanding lighting effect in the tunnel space. Through these, you can easily meet different project requirements and help you get a step ahead of others.
What's more, AGC Lighting take special means to make drivers not be influenced by the drastic change in light intensity, either at the entrance or at the exit.
