Your Straightforward Guide to LED Lighting for Industrial Buildings

Your Straightforward Guide to LED Lighting for Industrial Buildings

You probably have more than a few light fixtures if you operate a manufacturing facility, warehouse, data center, or industrial building. While fluorescent light bulbs are most often used due to their initial low cost, they can hurt employee wellness, maintenance and operations costs, and sustainability goals. By making the switch to LED lighting, industrial buildings gain several advantages.

Cost savings

LED lights last up to 25% longer and use over 75% less energy than their fluorescent or incandescent counterparts. They also run much cooler and will not cause an increase in room temperature, so you can manage your heating and cooling more efficiently.  

Productivity & Safety

Fluorescent lights are known to cause headaches, eye strain, and fatigue. LED lights come in various color temperatures and styles, helping to create a productive, well-lit working environment.

Lower Maintenance

LED lights extended lifespan means you’ll be changing – and buying – fewer bulbs.

Sustainability

LED lights are more environmentally friendly. They consume less energy, and they last longer. This means less bulbs are used, which results in less resources needed to manufacture, package and transport LED bulbs. LED lights consistently emit lower greenhouse gasses than incandescent bulbs.

Lighting Controls

LED lights can be connected to smart devices to customize, schedule, and operate lighting on demand, including changing brightness levels and color temperatures. LED lighting makes it easy to automate and control lighting usage, saving time and money. 

The cost of LED lights has dropped dramatically over the past few years, while the options for various types and styles of LED light bulbs and fixtures have grown substantially. To switch to LED lights, consider the following interior and exterior lighting options.

Interior LED Lights for Industrial Buildings

LED Highbay Lights

Highbay lights are used to light up large spaces with high ceilings. They are typically found in buildings where the ceiling is over 20 feet tall. Highbay lights provide a high lumen output and focus light directly down from the fixture to accommodate the ample space between the ceiling and the floor. Highbay lights are available in a linear style and UFO styles.

Linear highbay lights distribute light widely and with a higher beam angle. UFO high bay lights provide more concentrated lighting and work well in narrow spaces like hallways or warehouse aisles.  

Vapor Tight LED

Vapor Tight LED light fixtures are used in environments where exposure to water, humidity, corrosive fumes, and dust can occur. They are sealed and gasketed to protect the lamp socket and wiring. Vapor tight LED lights are perfect for any location where lighting could be exposed to moisture or hazardous materials, including cold storage warehouses, food processing facilities, car washes, loading docks, and parking garages.

Exterior LED Lighting for Industrial Buildings

Traditional LED Wall Pack

LED wall packs are the way to go when you need to brightly illuminate a large outdoor area. LED wall packs are mounted to a building’s exterior and face outward to light up vehicle and pedestrian spaces, such as loading docks, parking areas, and pedestrian walkways. Wall pack LED lights come in multiple sizes and configurations depending on where they will be used.

Adjustable Wall Pack

Like their traditional counterparts, adjustable LED wall packs are used to light outdoor spaces. The difference is that the adjustable LED wall packs can be locked into any angle ranging from 0 to 90 degrees. They provide directional light instead of a wide beam and provide more security around your industrial building. They are commonly used in alleys, pathways, and landscapes.

LED Area Light

LED area lights are mounted on poles and provide a wide beam angle to light up parking lots, perimeters, large walkways, or any other space that requires added security. LED area lights come in various types depending on where they will be located and where the light needs to concentrate. Area lights also come with features such as dusk to dawn sensors.
