Induction for Factories and Warehouses

Energy Efficient Induction Lighting for Factories and Warehouses

There are a number of important considerations when replacing existing older technology high bay lighting in a factory or warehouse. Most have old metal halide lighting installed, usually 400 watts; the light output (lumens) depreciates rapidly over a short period resulting in inadequate light levels, the ballasts and lamps require frequent changing and the light produced is yellow in color and metal halide technology is not  considered energy efficient. So what is the best choice for energy efficient and long lasting lighting for factories and warehouses?

Induction lighting is the best choice for high bay factory lighting for a variety of reasons:

1.     Cost:  Compared to LED lighting, Global Induction Lights generally cost 50% less than comparable LED fixtures.

2.     Long Life:  Global fixtures are rated to last an incredible 100,000 hours, the longest life of any energy efficient commercial lighting fixture, much longer than LED or ordinary florescent technology.

3.     Huge Energy Savings:  Saves 60% on electricity costs compared to metal halide lights, a very important consideration as electricity costs continue to rise rapidly.

4.     Better Light Output:  Global induction lights have consistent bright light output over a long period of time compared to metal halide technology.

5.     Eliminate Maintenance Costs:  Metal halide fixtures would require 5 or 6 lamp and ballast replacements compared to none for Global induction fixtures during their 100,000 hour lifetime.

6.     Instant On/Restrike:  Global induction lights require no warm up time like metal halide lights and are the perfect choice for warehouses using motion sensors and lighting controllers for additional energy savings.

7.     Product Selection:  Global induction lights come in a wide range of fixture types, lamp color temperatures and wattages from 40-400 watts for most applications. Fixtures include wall packs, flood lights and highbays to name a few examples.

8.     Better Color Rendering:  Colors are brighter and more vivid, subtle color differences are more apparent with Global induction lights.

9.     Environmental Considerations:  Mercury is harmful for the environment and unlike metal halide lamps which contain liquid mercury; Global induction lamps contain no harmful liquid mercury. Global induction lights also last for 100,000 hours and are recyclable which results in significantly less waste in our landfills.

Considering everything, Global induction lights are the right energy efficient lighting choice for factories and warehouses compared to all other lighting technologies.
