LED Factory Lighting

Factories are places where excellent lighting is simply a must. Productivity and indeed product quality can degrade when employees are working with lighting levels below what’s required. Employee wellbeing and safety also potentially suffer when lighting is substandard.

So what are some of the specific issues that we typically find in factories when assessing their existing lighting systems? And what benefits can an investment in LED Factory Lighting achieve? Below we briefly answer both of these questions.

Problems With Existing Factory Lighting

When the Lighting Electricians team carries out our lighting audits, we typically encounter a number of issues including the following:

Poor lighting levels. Traditional light bulbs and fittings degrade over time and the result can be lighting below required levels. We often find that a number of light fittings are not working at all, further depleting lighting levels.

Employee wellbeing issues. Everyone has at some point been in an environment where one or more fluorescent tubes are flickering away. Failures like this create an unpleasant environment and can lead to eye strain and even migraines.

High energy costs. Fluorescent and incandescent lighting consumes significantly more energy that LED Lighting. This impacts straight onto the bottom line and has a negative effect on a company’s carbon emissions performance.

High maintenance demands. Many older lighting systems are prone to bulb failure. This creates a cost in itself, but the time and human resources involved in constantly replacing blown bulbs, often involving working at height, is just as unwelcome.

Switching To LED Lighting

LED lighting addresses all of the above issues. Performance and efficiency levels increase, while maintenance time and costs are reduced. There have also been many reports of employee morale improving once a better-lit environment has been created.

For a full assessment of the potential for saving energy and improving conditions in your factory, please ask for our free lighting audit. We will visit you on site to compare your existing lighting with an LED system, producing a comprehensive report so you can make an informed decision about whether to invest in LED Lighting.
