Industrial Lighting Design for Cost Reduction & Energy Efficiency
Industrial Lighting Design isn't just about picking an LED fitting that has a certain amount of wattage. An effective industrial LED lighting system design should consider illumination levels, the distribution of light, lumen efficiency, fixture count, connected load and installation considerations. These can directly affect the performance and project costs of the lighting, such as choice of lens, beam angle, height of mounting, spacing of lighting, lm/w, lighting calculations, cable/conduit routing, etc. The purpose of the person doing Industrial-Style Lighting is to ensure adequate levels of illumination and reasonable uniformity with the minimum number of luminaires, and to minimise energy consumption, connected load and installation cost. So, Commercial illumination systems should be considered an engineering optimisation process, not a product-selection process.
