Upgrading To Led Hazardous Area Lighting Solutions

Upgrading To Led Hazardous Area Lighting Solutions
5 min read

shreeelectrical is aware that equipment must be dependable and properly approved in severe industrial or hazardous situations. We continually work to protect you, your facility, and your equipment in order to enhance your operational performance. You can rely on us to select the ideal LED hazardous area lighting solution for your application, whether you’re replacing an existing plant’s lighting system or creating a brand-new facility.

You need a lighting manufacturer whose hazardous area lighting is engineered to enable excellent light dispersion, providing more useful light, if you want to be sure you have the right illumination in challenging circumstances. A one-to-one installation retrofit makes the transition from AppletonTM HID luminaires to Appleton LED luminaires simple.

The introduction of energy-efficient LED lighting with ATEX certification is replacing traditional explosion proof lighting as part of a global trend in the hazardous area industry.

This Flameproof Light Fitting Design and Specification Guide outlines important criteria to take into account when choosing an industrial lighting manufacturer and shows how Eaton’s Crouse-Hinds series LED solutions are designed to withstand the harshest environments, provide the highest levels of lighting performance and safety, and cut down on high maintenance costs.

Although lighting in heavy industrial applications can frequently present special challenges due to factors like high vibration, extreme temperatures, corrosion, water, dirt, and potentially explosive gases or dusts, LED solutions are well known for their improved light quality, long life, and low energy consumption. The lifespan and performance of LED fixtures can be significantly impacted by each of these elements.

The customer utilised 30% fewer fixtures to provide the same illumination by using Champ lighting over the alternative offered by the competition. This saves time and money because there are fewer fixtures to install and maintain.

The electrical load on lighting panels was reduced by 300% when using 277 volts at 100 watts of LED lighting instead of 480 volts at 400 watts of HID lighting. This led to up to a 22% reduction in labour costs for installation and maintenance as well as cabling.

Additionally Dark Sky Compliant, Champ fixtures help protect the plant against upcoming changes to environmental standards.

Overall, the increased visibility contributed to a safer working environment for plant personnel.

Emerson’s AppletonTM LED platform is made to make usable light the cornerstone of safer, more effective surroundings, from floodlights to general lighting for industrial or hazardous locations.

Together with Appleton, shreeelectrical is devoted to making sure you get the most out of your LED lights. Your ability to operate comfortably and securely in challenging or dangerous conditions is the value of lighting. The difficulties posed by poor colour, shadows, glare, and uneven lighting are complicated.

For any mounting height or intensity of illumination required, each application merits a custom lighting solution. With high quality LED experiences, Appleton luminaires maximise usable light that is cosy and secure for the application.

There are three main points to consider when upgrading to LED lighting.

Usable Light –Lumens where you need them with specialised design techniques for purpose-driven applications

LED For Improved Safety- Better detection and safer surroundings are made possible by improved light quality and homogeneity.

Lighting For Comfort — At whatever mounting height, refractors give cosy illumination while diffusers decrease glare.

The cost of labour is a major factor when switching to LED. Energy-efficient LED luminaires may be installed quickly and easily thanks to Emerson’s innovations. This guarantees that your labour is economical and speeds up the total cost of ownership payback.

Our Appleton LED luminaires are simple to retrofit into pre-existing HID installations in Appleton as well as into luminaires made by our rivals. For your current arrangement, we offer a one-for-one installation that keeps useful and cosy lighting.

Safety issues extend beyond glare and dim areas. Emerson is aware. We perform rigorous vibration testing and provide redundant safety cables because vibration is frequently an issue in tough situations.

During power outages, emergency battery backup options safeguard productivity and safety. By using captive screws that stop hardware from falling, you can ensure injury-free installation and maintenance. The design of every item in our Appleton LED lineup is centred on your safety.

Even in the worst conditions, you require reliable lighting. To our Appleton LED lighting, Emerson contributes a rich heritage of corrosion resistance protection. We have a solution for challenging outdoor applications, including unclean power and lightning strikes.

Quality components are essential for LED luminaire lifetime. Emerson makes use of high-quality LED components and is looking for the finest solutions as technology advances.

Heat is an adversary of LEDs. The LEDs and luminaire have a lifespan that is maximised by Emerson’s outstanding thermal management system. The expected lumen output at the highest ambient temperature is evaluated for every each of our Appleton LED luminaires. Our systems are built to lower light output without producing a lighting outage if the maximum ambient temperature is surpassed, ensuring the area’s safety. Our top objective is to keep the light in the defined temperature range useful and of great quality.
