Industrial light

There is a different need for lighting for every room. The requirements for the lighting at a goldsmith are very different at the forge.

There are therefore many differences in the field of industrial lighting. The specific type of work that is carried out, but also the light from the daylight. All things that are taken into account. A number will be reviewed briefly here.

light color

An important factor that comes into play when it comes to lighting is the light color.

The light color is expressed in degrees, Kelvin. The color shades are very wide and the most common is between 2400K and 6500K and determines the comfort or atmosphere which lighting can cause.

With a wrong color choice, the lighting can be the cause of many errors, poor productivity, varying quality of work or even high absenteeism. To arrive at the right light color choice, it is very important that the activities are properly inventoried and categorized.

Color rendering

In addition to the correct light color, a good color rendering (color rending index CRI or RA) is also of great importance. Because it is extremely annoying and difficult if the recognition of color is wrong. In extreme cases, a blue bicycle can go out like a green or red one. It may sound funny, but it is very difficult and disastrous for the profit development of your organization. Color rendering is expressed in a number with the letters CRI or RA in front of it. The higher the CRI or RA number, the better the color reproduction.

A CRI 80 or 85 already gives a very good color reproduction and is perfect for use in an industrial environment. For excellent color reproduction, the CRI must be 90 or higher, mostly for fashion-related companies and for food.

The importance that light installation is tailored to the work is obvious, especially if you know what can go wrong within your production if the lighting is not right.

Environment

Lighting can make a major contribution to achieving energy savings. Traditional lighting has the characteristic of consuming a lot of energy and giving relatively little light. A traditional light bulb provides around 25 lumens per watt. A fluorescent lamp provides approximately 45 lumens per watt.

A LED lamp provides between 85 and 180 lumens per watt. Due to the much higher output lumen per watt, it is possible to get more light with lower lamp/luminaire powers.

Also, LED lighting does not use mercury or cadmium, which is very harmful to the environment.

The lifespan of LED lighting has also been proven to be incredibly long.

A light bulb lasts 1000 hours and a TL lamp 10,000 hours, LED lighting has 50,000 hours And the latest generation of LED lighting even has 80,000 to 100,000 hours.

LED lighting for store & showroom

LED lighting for store & showroom Without lighting, no turnover is perhaps very black and white. But if there is a power outage somewhere, the stores close because customers cannot be helped and the safety of staff and customers cannot be guaranteed. After all, customers come to stores/showrooms that are invitingly lit, tailored to the product being sold. A showroom with cars needs to be lit differently than a supermarket or a clothing boutique. It is known that light has a big influence there, a product that is put in the spotlight gets extra attention and is, therefore, better sold and therefore more sales. But the lighting installations can do more nowadays, with the help of smart systems it is easy to dim, to deploy flexible and even to follow customers. The future of lighting is not only to control light but also information flows. But back to basics, lighting serves to make life pleasant and to function better. Enlightenment is actually a basic necessity for the e...

Functional office LED lighting

Functional office LED lighting The light must be attuned to the work being carried out, that sounds logical but is by no means always the practice. A well-lit space is pleasant in all respects. Light makes it possible for us to work, exercise and relax. It increases quality, improved productivity and reduced waste/waste to name just a few things. Office lighting That every type of work requires different lighting is a fixed fact. That makes light a difficult subject for many. The complexity of lighting is very large. It is obvious that something can easily go wrong as a result. Lighting in an office must do that for which it is intended to illuminate a room in the right way. However, to properly illuminate an office space you have to take into account what are the activities, how many people work and what are the position of the desks, windows, working conditions and the wishes of the customer. If everything is properly listed, a light plan can provide good advice tha...
