Industrial LED Lighting

Posted by switchlighting on June 29th, 2013

Lighting is important to any industry. Employees need to see what they are doing in order to ensure that quality products are being made. They need to be able to see to remain safe, too. We all know that are many other reasons that lighting is important in an industrial setting. But which lighting system should you choose?

More traditional lighting methods may include fluorescent light bulbs. These light bulbs fit into high bay lighting fixtures and other places. However, there are several problems that these bulbs present to the industrial building. Some include issues that could impact a worker’s health.

These lights can contain mercury and other harmful chemicals. Because the bulbs are delicate, they may shatter or break easily. Not only do these bulbs pose a threat to employees, but they are threatening to the environment as well. Even if they are not broken, the bulbs release chemicals into the air.

A better alternative to these bulbs is LED lighting. LED lights do not contain mercury or lead, and they are safe for the environment and your employees. They are extremely durable, and they will not shatter or break easily. You can purchase LED tube lights that will fit into your old high bay fixtures.

You will notice that LED lights do not flicker like fluorescent lights. They are brighter and provide better illumination than other lights. You will not have to worry about replacing these bulbs very often, because they are designed to last for many years. This is a relief, especially when bulbs are placed in very high and out-of-reach areas.

You may be surprised to know that tube lighting isn’t the only option for industrial LED lighting. There are many LED lights to choose from. Some are retrofitted to allow you to use your old lighting fixtures with the LED lights, and others may need new fixtures appropriate for LED lights.

These lights will not get too hot for the area. In fact, they emit such little heat that you can place your hand right on the bulbs without fear of getting burnt. You can control the climate in your building efficiently without over-heating the building from hot bulbs.

Whether you need interior high bay lights or exterior lights for your industrial building, you can be sure that you will find the right LED lights for your purposes. You will be making a better choice for the environment and your employees when you choose LED lights.
