Lighting for Industrial Hazardous 

If this is your first time thinking about lighting for hazardous industrial locations, it's natural for your mind to go right to the issue of brightness. However, in most cases, the overall light level is just one of several essential considerations. In fact, in some instances, the lights can be too bright. Here at All About Lighting, we understand that lighting for hazardous industrial locations is a task that requires much skill and knowledge.

 

In a hazardous location, lighting must allow dangerous factors to be visible, and this requires reducing glare, increasing contrast, and providing sufficient light without causing eye fatigue. This boils down to a need for lighting that is just bright enough – but not so bright that people squint or get headaches. It also needs to be set up so that it doesn't reflect off shiny surfaces and hurt people's eyes, especially at unexpected times.

 

Depending on the materials in question, the lighting may also need to be in one or more unusual colours. Some fabrics require deep red lighting that simulates darkness, while others need the lights to have a perfect physical temperature to help avoid overheating. Still, others will be more stable if kept warmer.

 

As you can see, lighting for hazardous industrial locations requires more than just installing some super-bright floodlights. Instead, lighting controls need to be implemented to ensure that the illumination, and even the physical temperature, is always just proper.
