Manufacturing & Industrial Lighting at LED Lowcountry
Choosing the right LED fixtures in manufacturing and industrial facilities increases safety and productivity of employees while reducing operating costs.
Higher Productivity
Under a proper illumination, workers experience better visibility and higher concentration, increasing their accuracy and work speed.
Improved Product Quality
Manufacturing lighting applications require optimal light levels with good uniformity and high color rendering to detect defects or product imperfections and avoid costly errors in manufacturing and inspection tasks.
Safer Factories
Improve safety of employees by enabling a safer machine operation and preventing fall accidents with a flicker-free and well-lit factory.
Top Performance in Tough Environments
Lumen Maintenance
Our LED fixtures maintain higher lighting levels over time than other LEDs. Backed up by 5-year replacement warranty of L70 lumen maintenance.
Thermal Management
Ambient temperatures in the southeast routinely reach over 100 degrees during the summer months and over 130 degrees in the ceilings where the fixtures are mounted. Our performance line of high bays are designed to perform in hot environments with ambient temperatures up to 151 degrees
Strong Impact Resistance
Engineered with a rugged design and durable materials certified up to IK08 impact protection rating.
Rich Colors and High Contrast
Warehouse lighting require good visibility to avoid picking errors. All our LED fixtures feature CRI80+ as standard and CRI90+ as an option.
Reduce Operating Costs
Our highly efficient LED fixtures can save up to 80% energy compared to traditional fixtures and have a much longer life span than lamps and most LEDs, helping you reduce maintenance costs and time spent replacing lamps, ballasts and drivers.
Impress Customers
To close or lose a deal with a big customer sometimes depends on the impression you leave in the factory tour. Upgrade the appearance of your facility with a brighter and energetic manufacturing lighting that projects professionalism, impresses customers and helps you win more business.
Industry 4.0 Ready
Manage the lighting of your warehouse facilities from anywhere with cloud-based systems, collect data to gain insights and optimize business operations with our LED fixtures that easily connect with IoT devices and building management systems.
At LED Lowcountry, we specialize in manufacturing and industrial lighting for your business.
Industrial Lighting Applications Offered by LED Lowcountry
Waste Water Treatment Plants
LED lights aids wastewater treatment plants. Hazardous environmental applications traditionally have used three types of high-intensity discharge lighting-high pressure sodium, fluorescent and metal halide. A fourth option is LED technology, which has no filaments or fragile housings that can break down during operation. Instead of heating a filament or using a combination of gases to produce light, LEDs use semi-conductive materials that illuminate when electric current is applied. LEDs require no warm-up or cool-down time before re-striking, and provide instant illumination when powered on. They can withstand extreme heat and cold, as well as vibration. The increased visibility provided by the pure light LEDs increases security and safety. LED Lowcountry has converted several wastewater treatment plants to LEDs, and the lights are expected to last more than 10 years. The fixtures draw les than half the wattage of high pressure sodium and mercury vapor, so operating costs are reduced over the life of the upgrade. Retrofitting existing plants is not an issue since most of the lights use existing wiring, making the installation process simple, taking less than an hour per fixture.
Industrial Applications
LED lighting has swept the conventional lighting marketplace-and its doing the same for industrial facilities with extended lifespans, reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance.
Check out seven reasons you should consider LED lighting for your facility:
1) Energy Efficiency
LEDs use about 40–70 percent less electricity than traditional incandescent, fluorescent and halogen lighting options, leading to substantial energy cost savings. These savings are compounded within applications where lighting is on for extended periods of time. Further, LED fixtures can aim light hemispherically, or in specific directions, unlike conventional bulbs that emit light (and wasted energy) spherically in all directions. This directional capability reduces wasted light and energy, further contributing to savings.
2) Extended Life
Unlike incandescent lighting, LEDs never “burn out,” they simply become dimmer over time. Quality LEDs have a rated life of 100,000 hours at L70, or at least 70 percent of the initial light output, depending on the lamp and fixture. LED systems can reduce labor spent on replacing bulbs due to their extended life in commercial and industrial environments, helping you achieve reduced overall maintenance costs.
3) Durability
LEDs use about 40–70 percent less electricity than traditional incandescent, fluorescent and halogen lighting options, leading to substantial energy cost savings. These savings are compounded within applications where lighting is on for extended periods of time. Further, LED fixtures can aim light hemispherically, or in specific directions, unlike conventional bulbs that emit light (and wasted energy) spherically in all directions. This directional capability reduces wasted light and energy, further contributing to savings.
4) Instant On
Many fluorescent and HID lamps don’t provide full brightness immediately, often requiring about three minutes to reach maximum output. LED systems, by contrast, emit 100 percent brightness immediately, with no re-strike delay. For industrial facilities, this is critical in the event of a power outage or early morning hours.
5) Rapid Cycling
Traditional light sources tend to have a shorter lifespan the more they’re switched on and off, where LED systems remain unaffected by rapid cycling. If you’re considering a system that includes smart controls like occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting in parts of your facility, LED lighting is the perfect fit.
6) A Foundation for Intelligence
LED systems, are semiconductor devices at heart—they emit light, of course, but they can do so much more. LEDs are inherently compatible with advanced new systems that can bring holistic new energy efficiencies to any facility. With LED, facility managers can continuously monitor performance to ensure and identify opportunities for savings and can incorporate lighting with other systems—from energy storage, solar and gas fire technology options.
7) No IR or UV Emissions
Less than 10 percent of the power used by incandescent lamps is actually converted to visible light; the majority of power is converted into infrared (IR) or radiated heat. Excessive heat and ultraviolet radiation (UV) presents a burn hazard to people and materials, which can be doubly concerning if used in an industrial environment that may contain hazardous chemicals, sophisticated machinery and more. LED systems emit virtually no IR or UV. Rapid advancements in LED lighting technologies, with more improvements on the horizon, have resulted in lowered costs and increased reliability of LEDs. And while it may be tempting to assume LEDs are the right choice for all applications because of their energy efficiency, selection should be based on a combination of factors, including light quality and distribution, dimmability and expected lifetime.
