The main purpose of LED high bay light
Traditional high bay accessories - discharge lamps
Traditionally, high bay fittings use discharge lamps, either mercury vapor or sodium vapor. This type of installation is characterized by its large size (horizontal and vertical), so a certain level of lighting is necessary for the safety of the employees who work and perform it. As we mentioned before, discharge bulbs are a great option when we have to light fixtures with very high ceilings. With the development and introduction of the LED technology market, this type of luminaire has become obsolete due to its high consumption and the intermediate components required for its implementation. The Z typical wattage in industrial buildings is 250 W for 5-6 meter high roofs and 450 W for higher height roofs (e.g. 9 meters).
Also, with this type of lamp, we can find that the amount of lighting they provide decreases considerably over time due to the deterioration of the gas inside. Furthermore, this reduction in lighting affects consumption, resulting in increased consumption. In some cases, we can even see a change in shadows.
In some cases, we can find industrial buildings with fluorescent tubes installed. This type of facility can be found at low ceilings or at specific points in the production process.
LED High Bay Lighting Accessories--An Efficient and Effective Solution
As we mentioned before, the introduction of LED technology in lighting is a revolution, a new way of understanding things. LED high bay accessories have many advantages that make them a very attractive product. these are:
quick start
High performance Lm/W
Long life expectancy (50,000 hours LED high bay accessories vs 10,000 hours discharge lamps)
energy saving
Fast return on investment
Uniform lighting distribution
No change in hue or amount of lighting
IP65-66 protection
Once we see the attractive advantages offered by LED high bay accessories, we will recommend suggested alternatives based on height or previously installed accessories.
If the warehouse we're lighting is new and we don't have a previous lighting system installed, we'll have to follow the tips below. If the height of the warehouse is between 5-6 meters, the recommended LED accessories are 100 W. For heights above 8-9 meters, the recommended LED technology is 200 W. For medium heights, 150 W fittings are recommended.
Conversely, if the warehouse already has lighting with discharge lamps, the equivalence/replacement is very simple. The 250 W lamps were replaced by 100 W and the 450 W lamps were replaced by 200 W LED accessories. Before strictly following this rule, it is advisable to know what type of bulb is installed and how many lumens it provides. Therefore, we can choose LED accessories with the same lumens and replace them to ensure success.
European Standard for Indoor Lighting (UNE 12464.1)
The requirements established in this standard are based on three factors that meet basic human needs, such as:
Visual comfort: Workers must have a sense of well-being in order to be able to perform their functions properly in complete safety.
Visual benefits: Workers will be able to perform their visual tasks without any distractions and without difficulty.
Safety.
In this standard we can find established parameters that must be guaranteed in all areas where any activity takes place. The main parameters to measure and consider are maintenance illuminance (Em), glare index (UGR) and color rendering index (Ra). Of all these parameters, the Z important one is the column corresponding to the illuminance level measured in lux, as this will tell us whether an area is properly illuminated.
Continuing the question of industrial buildings and their lighting possibilities, the standards we cited above specify a range of illuminances for different areas. For example, in areas where high-precision work is performed, the standard states that there must be an amount of 1000 - 3000 lux, while for encapsulated areas, only an amount between 100 and 400 lux is required.
As we've commented before, lighting level is a very important factor that doesn't get the attention it deserves on countless occasions. Ensure lighting levels consistent with the task being developed, improving safety as well as production levels.
In conclusion, we can say that by replacing discharge lamps with LED technology, we can guarantee maintenance cost savings, as the life expectancy of the bulb and LED technology guarantees us between 30,000 - 50,000 hours without any problems. Also, with this change, we improve the quality of light and better perceive and recognize colors. In addition, the correct and efficient distribution of lighting is guaranteed, thereby increasing the level of productivity, safety and working environment.
