LED options for outdoor industrial sites

New LED options for outdoor use comprise Goodlight G5 battens with SMART Sensor technology, 2D anti-corrosive bulkhead luminaires and G360 SON retrofit replacement lamps.

Goodlight G5 LED battens with SMART Sensor technology allow luminaires to be grouped and to respond intelligently to exterior lighting needs. The company says that by switching to LED, warehouses and industrial sites can reduce lighting bills by up to 80%. The new G5 LED battens are direct drop-in replacements for standard 2, 4 and 5ft length single and twin tube fluorescent fittings. The G5 delivers high levels of light output, offering 110Lm/W with a 120° beam angle for optimum spread.

Housed in a sleek body, the Goodlight G5 is shielded by a high-density rubber seal that offers IP65 protection against water, dust and corrosion, plus the fitting can withstand exposure to frost, snow and ice. It can operate in temperatures from -20 to +50°C, and is highly robust, thanks to an impact protection rating of IK08.

2D LED bulkhead 

New 2D LED bulkhead luminaires feature a rugged, yet stylish housing with an opal PC diffuser. For external use, they are rated IP65 to prevent dust and water ingress, together with anti-corrosive protection to protect against industrial pollutants and coastal salt spray. As well as rugged performance, they come with black trim to match most fascias, guttering and facades. The 2Ds can be either wall or ceiling-mounted to enhance exterior communal spaces, or as the main security/comfort lighting in industrial and commercial exterior applications. Versions include standard, integral microwave sensor and emergency battery (3-hour) back-up. 

Replacement lamps 

G360 LED SON replacement lamps can be retrofitted in place of traditional metal halide or SON lamps in external installations, including bollards, globes, street lighting lamp heads and canopies. Delivering a high lumen output of 140Lm/W, they are said to provide a 30% increase in brightness levels along with 360° beam angle. In high powered models, heat is well-managed with a special on-board MagLev fan cooling system, which ensures silent operation (less than 0.5dB) and allows use in extreme temperature conditions outdoors. This radical design incorporates new vent ducts which create maximum airflow around the lamp ensuring that the heat is drawn away from the LED, therefore improving reliability, consistency and performance of the lamp.

Businesses can fund lighting replacement programmes from their operating budgets by taking advantage of the company’s BrightPlan LED leasing scheme. This allows the replacement lights to be paid for directly by the energy savings and the customer will own the lights outright at the end of the lease. LED Eco Lights is offering businesses a free site survey which will provide a detailed breakdown of suitable replacement light fittings, the installed cost and the return on investment from savings on energy and maintenance costs. The five-year, 50,000 hours guarantee from LED Eco Lights makes exterior installation risk-free.
