Lighting: Saving Energy In Industrial Buildings

For a long time, industrial lighting placed a heavy burden on financial resources and accounted for up to 80% of a building's electricity costs. The design and operational requirements of industrial buildings often result in poor daylight and poor lighting quality can have an impact on health and safety if heavy machinery, goods and people are in the immediate vicinity. Good quality lighting is required in factories and warehouses to ensure a smooth and safe workflow as 24/7 operation is common. Unfortunately, outdated lighting systems are uneconomical and cause financial damage. Choosing the right LED solutions ensures a minimum of energy costs and helpsreduce carbon dioxide emissions.

LED lighting is infinitely scalable and can improve efficiency and light quality using daylight, occupancy sensors, scene design and time planning. Lighting devices with low-voltage LEDs use up to 75% less energy than light bulbs, provide up to 50,000 hours of lighting and generate much less heat than conventional lamps. Highly efficient light generators offer a CRI of 80 or 90 and a color temperature selection of 3000 K, 4000 K and 5000 K. With a simple plug-in connection and several attachment points, they are compatible with dimming with DALI and voltages from 1 V to 10 V. Constant current drivers provide a powerful solution from 10 W to 200 W with undimmed, analog 1 V to 10 V, 0 V to 10 V and DALI.Factory managers should view the installation of LED lighting as more than just a light source. Drivers and light generators require careful selection to avoid problems such as flickering and component failures that can occur with lower cost solutions. The failure rate is the frequency with which an LED component fails. It is expressed in failures per unit of time.

Eliminating flicker The key to eliminating LED flicker in the industrial environment is the LED driver that is used to supply the lamps. A high-quality LED driver supplies the LEDs with a constant current that generates light without visible flickering. This eliminates the potential effects of poor quality lighting on people, including headaches and eye strain. The combination of LED technologies and radio-controlled lighting controls can maximize energy savings and efficiency. This is an ideal combination for the industrial sector, where luminaires with a high level of performance and energy efficiency are required. The new generation of LED controls offer easy retrofitting options and lighting that is managed more intelligently.Luminaires can be switched, dimmed and planned individually or together to activate lighting when required. By grouping lights, switches and sensors, lamps can be dimmed to a low percentage when areas are not used.
