Why choose LED lighting for indoor industrial areas?

16 Feb 2022

Indoor LED lighting has gained popularity over the past few years. This technology has proved to be more advantageous than its counterpart: traditional incandescent bulbs. From energy savings to intelligent lighting, it allows for the transformation of spaces and the creation of different types of atmospheres according to the users’ needs. At Televes we would like to share what indoor LED lighting can do for you.

 

Increase your energy savings with indoor LED lighting

Compared with traditional lighting, one of the greatest advantages of indoor LED lighting is that it drives hefty energy savings. This is very much appreciated if we consider the trending increase in energy prices. In fact, the European Parliament is now taking measures to boost energy efficiency, making this option particularly interesting for public buildings or big companies seeking to meet the established goals.

As for LED luminaires, only a small part of the energy consumed in emitting heat is wasted, unlike traditional models. It is estimated that indoor LED lighting allows for energy savings accounting for 50% and 80%, which is quite significant.

 

Environment and reduction of CO2 emissions

Another aspect that distinguishes indoor LED lighting from traditional incandescent bulbs is that neither mercury nor tungsten are needed to produce them, making it a more eco-friendly option. Besides, they are easier to recycle because they lack such materials. They comply therefore with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) European directive that restricts the use of specific materials in the production of electronic and electrical devices.

In addition, their carbon footprint is lower. Energy savings imply the reduction of sulfur and CO2 emissions. In other words: indoor LED lighting represents a much more eco-friendly option from its production, through its use, and to its disposal and recycling.

 

Customized spaces thanks to indoor industrial LED lighting

Indoor LED lighting allows for greater customization options in contrast with traditional lighting. If we also consider features such as intelligent lighting, possibilities are endless. Just to name a few examples, you can schedule LED lighting to regulate its intensity depending on the moment of the day and natural light; sensors can be also installed to detect people and adapt light levels to their needs.

In addition, many of the new intelligent LED solutions will allow you to change the light color so it can be adapted to different environments or moments. This feature will certainly inspire the creativity of many companies to design different areas for work and leisure. They can do it from a smartphone for their convenience.

 

Indoor industrial LED lighting offers longer lifespans

It is estimated that the lifespan of LED lighting can be higher than 100 000 hours, which is significantly greater compared with the approximate 1 200 or 2 000 hours that traditional bulbs can last. In fact, one LED bulb would manage to be lit up for 10 years straight.

This implies considerable savings and less maintenance tasks for any company.

Another advantage – which might be an aspect that increments their lifespan – is that they are shock and vibration resistant. This feature makes these LED luminaires safer in terms of transportation, manipulation and storage, as the risk of accidental damages is reduced.

 

A healthier pick

An aspect that normally goes unnoticed when it comes to indoor industrial lighting is how it affects our health. Even if there is a great deal of regulations on bulbs, long-term use can provoke health issues. The most damaging luminaires are fluorescent lamps, as their flickering – even if it can be very subtle – will end up harming your eyes, which is not the case for LED lighting. In addition, this classic luminaires feature a number of elements that are highly toxic, which will have a negative impact on our health in case of accident or when getting rid of them.

In a nutshell, indoor industrial LED lighting has become an option that is more eco-friendly, cost-effective, less harmful for the human body, and that offers many more customization choices. The future of lighting belongs, without a doubt, to LEDs.
