Industrial lighting
LED lighting for industrial halls and production areas
In industry, a whole host of requirements have to be met. Depending on the area of application, luminaires must not only be particularly dust and waterproof, but also heat and chemical-resistant. In sensitive areas, attention must also be paid to an increased risk of explosion and the use of lighting that complies with ATEX directives.
Dust and waterproof – common requirements in industry
Wherever industrial workers grind, saw and file, dust is generated, sometimes in large quantities. Luminaires with a high protection rating are needed in these areas, as particularly fine dust can penetrate the luminaires, contaminating them from the inside and reducing the light output. To counteract this phenomenon, luminaires with a high IP protection rating (Ingress Protection Rating) are required. Luminaires used in car washes or in areas with high levels of dirt such as work pits must be completely waterproof or be able to reliably withstand intensive cleaning processes. As a manufacturer specialising in illumination for harsh environments, we offer luminaires with IP 65 protection rating – dustproof and protected against water jets – through to IP 69K lighting – dustproof and suitable for cleaning with high-pressure cleaners.
Resistance to harmful environmental influences
Be it seawater, ammonia or hydrogen peroxide, in many areas, aggressive substances affect luminaire housings and reflectors in their own special way. That is why it is important to know what the materials used must and can withstand. Since 1948, we have been offering optimum illumination solutions for a variety of demanding requirements – in other words, we understand the resistance of our materials, which we also test in our in-house laboratory.
LED illumination above +60 °C
High ambient temperatures pose a problem for conventional LED luminaires. LEDs cannot be used near blast furnaces or in all industrial extractor hood luminaires, plus their service life would be dramatically shortened due to the high temperature. This would mean frequent outages and high maintenance costs. However, LED luminaires have now been developed that work flawlessly and continuously even at ambient temperatures of up to +90 °C. Take a look at our luminaires for ambient temperatures above +60 °C.
Not only LED luminaires, but also lighting control systems for challenging environments
The same demanding conditions that are placed on illumination in the industrial sector also apply to lighting control in this environment. High protection ratings are often required in this setting as well in order to protect the electronics from damage. Our XARA® light control system offers the optimal solution for challenging environments.
