Benefits Of Led Lights For Industrial Use

LED lights can never be ignored when thinking about industrial lighting needs.

As per the common industrial light needs one needs to have high ceilings lights to accommodate overhead cranes or high stacking shelving units or even manufacturing equipment or processes happening at high levels, like a stamping plant. Those presses are big!

Today the awareness and technology advancement is making industries go green and save environment and resources. Thus, LED lights fulfill both and have captured the market.

Benefits of LED lights for industrial use are as follows:

  1. Energy consumption – LEDs consumption of energy is 50% to 90% less to produce electricity as compared to indecent lights/ bulbs, which results in cost savings.  LED is a simple installation which saves under 15 to 20% energy.
  2. Durability – LEDs, are more durable as they are solid state components. This makes them less prone to damage from external shock.
  3. Long life – Average life of LED lights is 50,000 hours which is nearly 5 years.   Some LED lights last 30,000 hours while others last over 100,000 hours, depending upon the application.   Long LED life reduces maintenance cost.
  4. Environmental – LED lights are eco-friendly. The LED manufacturing component is free from mercury or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Thus, they not only last longer but produce less waste.
  5. Instant Illumination– LEDs light up fast.  LED will achieve full brightness in fractions of seconds which was never the case with CFL. Industries have a complex infrastructure because of the nature of work. This means that you can keep low traffic areas on a motion sensor and have the lights turn on when someone is approaching the area. No more unused lighting area in an industry can be there due to bad lighting industrial facility.
  6. Silent operation – No unwanted and disturbing sounds like flicker or buzzing are produced by LED lighting.
  7. Low Heat – Heat production from LED lights is negligible hence less requirement for ventilation of excess heat. Many industries choose LED because of the offset of HVAC cost. 8. Cold Temperatures – Unlike fluorescent/ inducent light the cold temperatures do not impact LEDs. On the contrary it increases its life.
  8. Dimming – LED lights come with a motion sensor. Hence, one can have the light intensity as per the need.  The diming of light for security purpose is possible with the same light installation..

LED is now becoming the only choice because of its benefits for industrial lighting. Irrespective of the size of industry all are moving towards LED as it is more efficient and cost saving.
