Horticutral Lighting
industrial environments sometimes are accompanied by extreme and harsh condition. the operation of lighting products here will meet various challenges.the holder of such environment need to bear relevant illumination standards in mind. so in the face of harsh environment, how can they choose proper lights? what key points do they need to think about if they want to make their industrial workplaces brightness and safety ?
generally harsh industrial environments have different work tasks , machine varieties and producing purposes. here are some characters of harsh industrial environment.
the characters of harsh industrial environment
1) many industrial environments have high ceilings and large open spaces. if these environments are precision production areas or high risk areas .these areas require special lighting solutions.
2)luminaires for such environment need to be able to withstand harsh conditions such as extreme temperature, dust and humidity etc.
3)lighting products may be exposed to the working range of mobile devices and heavy machinery.
4)There are usually delicate instruments or equipment in harsh industrial environment, which may be affected by electrical interference caused by poor quality luminaires, leading to product failure. on the contrary, the electromagnetic signal wave generated by the operation of the machine may also cause uncertain impact to the lighting fixtures.
5)In some industries, high cleanliness standards require that the manufactured or produced products can't be contaminated by broken items or parts of damaged lamps.
industrial lighting application
Industrial lighting applications can be divided into regular area lighting and special area lighting. this division is mainly based on the needs of production modes in that areas. the types of lighting application include high bay lighting and special lighting . it is best to be guided by the actual and real situation to arrange illumination for corresponding areas .
for instance, with regard to the large space storage zone , generally , it is suggest adopting high bay lighting products . both high bay UFO and linear high bay are feasible . if there are many high racks lying on the ground for making full use of vertical space ,linear high bay lights are most holders' preference ,but it doesn't have to be that way. as long as it's appropriate and cost effective.
for some special occasions like smelting plant , chemical plant and food-processing plant etc , it is necessary to consider the particularity of these places and use cooperatively other lighting products to ease the damage due to environmental factor.
smelting plant : regular high bay lighting products ------ high temperature-resistant high bay lighting products.
chemical plant: regular high bay lighting products ------ anti-corrosion high bay lighting products .
food-processing plant : regular high bay lighting products ------high IP rating , no exposed screws and no toxic material high bay lighting products.
illumination standards for industrial lighting environments
It is challenging to evaluate a suitable light source for a selected application environment. a lack of light can lead to dangerous conditions, while excessive lighting can also cause uncomfortable glare and add unnecessary costs. In fact, because application environments vary from place to place, there is no single recommendation that applies to all fields.
Illuminating Engineering Society (IES)has ever issued detailed lighting manual. this manual points out different lighting levels across more than 100 different kinds of industries and work natures in detail. Great convenience and efficiency have been brought to lighting designers of industrial environment because of these standards.
lighting planning for extreme industrial environments
Lighting fixtures should be designed to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial environment. The three most common factors are resistance to water, dust and corrosion, good protection against impact and vibration and the protection mechanism for the temperature. of course, not all environments need to consider these three factors. lighting design should be combined with the actual situation .contact our professional sales managers for specific application requirements to ensure that the luminaires can work safely and efficiently in the special sites.
like other electronic devices, lighting product also can be rated with Ingress Protection (IP rating). a protection rating of IP65 or higher indicates that the lighting product is dust-proof and waterproof, making it ideal for many industrial environments.
IP69K housing makes lighting products have the ability to withstand high pressure water flushing, which is necessary for high cleanliness required environments such as food processing plant, beverage factory and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
in addition ,lighting products need a firm structure to withstand impacts and vibrations from heavy machinery. since continuous vibration can shorten the lamp's life.
in industrial production environments, there may also be extreme ambient temperatures. to ensure stability of productive process, high bay lighting products need to perform better than regular lights at low temperatures.a low temperature-resistant light is an ideal lighting option for refrigerated storage workshop.even if temperatures have been as low as -30 °C, they are in good state. as for high temperature , continuous efforts have been spent on the research and development of lighting products by manufacturers . after upgrading the design of our products , a new generation of high bay light is better in high temperature environments than before. the tolerant operating temperature is up to 70 ℃. the die-casting component is made of advanced materials to improve the heat dissipation capacity, and the built-in temperature sensor can automatically adjust the lighting brightness in case of overheating.
