Have you replaced your high bay or equipment?

Image
Have you replaced your high bay or equipment? Have you already made the decision to convert this warehouse or factory lighting to LED? With energy savings of up to 70% thanks to the replacement of high metal halide bays, this decision is obvious. The next logical question to ask yourself is: should I buy new devices or should I upgrade existing devices? In this blog, we will weigh the options to help you make the best decision for your environment. The 3 most important things to consider when converting to LEDs Although your decision may be due to other factors, the total cost, ease of installation and reliability are among the most important to consider. Total cost Let us first see what the same is. The energy savings between new and refurbishment are the same. Discounts for new devices tend to be higher than for upgrades. The price of new LED high bay lights has declined in recent years as efficiency has increased. Thus, the price difference between new and...

Extreme LED lights Applications

Image
Extreme LED lights Applications Some installations have extreme circumstances where typical LED lighting may not meet special needs. This blog will cover four unique applications: high temperature, hazardous areas, food processing and extreme outdoor activities. If you are evaluating lighting improvements for any of these types of environments, please consider the suggested products. • High Bay and High Temperature Projector Requirements - up to 190 degrees Fahrenheit • Requirements for high-beam headlights and explosion-proof floodlights - C1D1 and C1D2 • High Bay Light Requirements for Food Processing - NSF Certified • Extreme outdoor mast high light requirements - IP67 and salt spray      High temperature installations Facilities that generate heat - such as steel smelters, nuclear power plants and other power generation plants - can reach ambient temperatures close to lighting levels of 190 degrees Fahrenheit. Most LED products work wel...

Renovate your existing LED devices safely

Renovate your existing LED devices safely are always looking to reduce costs as much as possible. LED technology is an element that offers money saving opportunities. Many companies that switch from older lighting technologies to LED technology are saving money and increasing their revenues to some extent (because proper lighting improves employee productivity). Companies and facilities that replace HID lighting systems (such as high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps) with LED lamps can save up to 75% of electricity. LEDs offer many long-term cost savings, which is why they are quickly becoming the ideal lighting option for many contractors and businesses. In addition to all the advantages offered by LED technology, companies can realize additional savings if they choose to replace their equipment with complete equipment. In this article, I'll discuss the differences between upgrading and a complete redesign, and why upgrading is the best option ...

LED Safety First

LED Safety First One of the best decisions a company can make is to switch to LED technology. In order to reduce costs, most companies prefer modernization to a complete redesign. Others do it to maintain the aesthetic appearance. There is no doubt that mounting LED devices offers a multitude of benefits. However, from time to time, questions arise about their safety. To permanently address this concern, we decided it was time to list the features that make LED retrofits just as safe as new appliances. Security features of conversion kits for modernization The 3 main attributes that determine the security of LED adaptations are the certifications, the credibility of the brand and the installation process. Mounting (LEDs) for HID luminaires lacking proper certification, manufactured by unsavory and improperly installed brands, can be the source of many potential hazards. Let's examine each of these features in detail. Installation After certifications, the i...

Adopting LED technology

Adopting LED technology If you're thinking of adopting LED technology, here are three reasons why you'll get your money's worth. 1. Energy savings No doubt, this is the main advantage of LED lighting. LED lamps consume a fraction of the energy consumed by traditional lighting fixtures, saving up to 75% energy. Companies that switch to LED technology can get a return on investment in 3-4 years, depending on how long the light runs each day. And as LED lamps last for many years, the savings can last long after companies have recovered their investment. 2. Long service life It's no secret that LEDs have a long life. In fact, the shortest life of LEDs is 50,000 hours, which is still much higher than traditional lighting systems. Metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps have a short life and need to be replaced from time to time. Some LEDs have a life of 100,000 hours, which means they only need to be replaced once every 10 years. Companies and faci...
