High bay LED vs. HID / HPI high bay

The discharge lamps are used for warehouses were factories. With this technology, light scattering and color rendering are weak and inefficient in the long run. In addition, it takes a while for the lamp to operate at its maximum (15 to 30 minutes) without mentioning flicker during startup. Do not forget the heat generated by this type of lighting. Especially that after 10000 hours of operation, they can sometimes lose 70% of their capacity. The life is also very low and the HID lamps need ballasts ... So, if they are damaged, it is even more work for their replacement. In terms of maintenance and energy costs, this is certainly not the best way. They are difficult to maintain,

High bay LED vs. sodium vapor lamp and fluorescent lamps

Sodium lamps are another technology used for large indoor spaces. In general, these devices have a low color temperature and poor color rendering. In addition, they require a period of startup to illuminate optimally. Fluorescent lamps have also been used for this purpose. These are the T12, T5, and T8 which have been widely used in this case. But, the backlash of these fixtures is the toxic elements include and the gradual decrease in service life- given the necessary performance- for such applications.

The efficiency of LED large indoor spaces


There are several problems with lighting in industrial areas or warehouses. These areas are large scale energy consumers with the necessary usage time. We explained the negative points of the technologies in place before LED. LED lighting remains the best option with all the benefits. Let's see the benefits of LED:
  1. ·         Lights up instantly, no startup time
  2. ·         More effective light diffusion, no energy loss
  3. ·         Longer average life
  4. ·         The average life of 50000 hours (for high bay)
  5. ·         Dimmable (dimmable)
  6. ·         Motion detectors
  7. ·         60% energy savings
  8. ·         7 times longer than conventional lighting
  9. ·         Fast return on investment

Ballasts for lamps and LEDs

Image
Ballasts for lamps and LEDs Fluorescent tubes, as well as other types of discharge lamps, are not suitable for direct connection to the power grid. The ballasts are then used in combination with the starters to light the lamps. Conventional fluorescents and discharge lamps do not work without ballasts and must always be connected to them. For fluorescent tubes, the third generation of ballasts is currently used. Also know that even with LED technology, we also use "ballasts" called drivers in this case. In general, there are 2 types of ballasts: ·          Conventional ballasts, and the economic version ·          Electronic ballasts Conventional ballasts: Since 2017, only energy class A2 ballasts are installed. For the next few years, conventional ballasts may no longer be sold in the EU because they do not meet the growing requirements for energy efficiency. Like incandescent ...

For what use high bay LED?

For what use high bay LED? What are the stakes for lighting large outdoor spaces? To be properly lit, it is important that department stores, factories or warehouses have powerful lighting to ideally cover all the space (vertical and horizontal). Most of the time, these areas have a high ceiling. This is why the luminaires used must be powerful, and the light must have a high color rendering to allow to see the products in the best way possible. In addition, employees who work there must be able to practice in secure areas. So, the solutions used for this type of application have been discharging lamps or sodium vapor lamps. However, innovations have been made with LED technology compared to traditional lighting. Here are the issues to highlight when illuminating these areas: ·          The life of the luminaires must be as long as possible ·          Use as little energy as possibl...

LED lighting for museums

LED lighting for museums For museums, the use of LED lighting is more interesting from day to day . In fact, works of art must be kept in a cool, dry place in the dark to protect them from damage. However, to ensure that museum visitors continue to enjoy the works, the ideal lighting is needed. Lighting in museums should always serve two purposes: 1.        General Illumination - Sufficient brightness throughout the room 2.        Accent lighting - accentuate brightness on different works/objects Which LED lighting for museums? Showcase lighting Some objects can be exhibited in showcases with appropriate lighting. For windows without their own illumination, the ceiling lighting should always focus on the window, to prevent any reflection. In addition, it is recommended in this case to use anti-reflective lenses and dimmable (dimmable) lights. Ceiling lighting. Lighting for objects Som...
