INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING: WHY BE INTERESTED?

INDUSTRIAL LIGHTING: WHY BE INTERESTED?

For companies seeking to lower their energy bills, controlling the consumption of machine tools and heating is a key issue. But the lighting of an industrial building is also a very important item of expenditure that should not be neglected under any circumstances. Optimized lighting can improve profitability, safety and thus reduce the energy footprint of the building.

WHAT IS THE SHARE OF LIGHTING IN THE INDUSTRY?

In the industrial lighting accounts for between 10% and 15% of the total electricity bill. However, this figure varies according to the total consumption of the company.
A study jointly conducted by ADEME and IFTH * showed that in a clothing company, lighting accounted for 39% of electricity consumption, far behind heating (11%). This is a figure that breaks a number of prejudices. With good lighting control, you can reduce maintenance costs by 50% and save between 20% and 70% of energy!

WHAT ARE THE ISSUES RELATED TO LIGHTING IN COMPANIES?


Lighting is at the center of several key issues for the survival of businesses:
Employee Safety: Light must ensure the quality of employees' work and reduce stress, glare and work-related accidents. Productivity: optimal distribution of light relative to the environment that allows staff to work longer and in better conditions.Operating costs: the ability to predict and script uses will reduce the bill(maintenance and operation) and thus improve profits.
At the financial level, the most important lever for cost control is undoubtedly the type of lighting you use.

 LED LIGHTING, A REVOLUTION FOR THE INDUSTRY

Until the 2000s, lighting was primarily through incandescent, halogen or neon systems. But, in the wake of RT2012, energy-consuming light bulbs have been gradually withdrawn from the sale.
The technical advances and the need to save money put LED lights on the front burner. Despite a fairly recent introduction, LED now represents 41% market share in the industry.
LED lighting has many advantages :
Modular: much better for frequent ignitions (thus better integration with intelligent light management systems)Energy efficient: up to 71% savings compared to traditional lamps
Excellent performance: a life of up to 100,000 hours
