Commercial & Industrial LED Lighting

Commercial LED lighting and industrial lighting differ in their design and application, as well as the environments in which they are used.

Commercial lighting typically refers to lighting used in spaces that are open to the public, such as retail stores, offices, and restaurants. These spaces require lighting that is aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, and efficient. Commercial lighting fixtures are designed to be visually appealing, often with decorative features, and may incorporate energy-efficient technology like LED’s. Commercial lighting fixtures are often lower powered as they are intended to provide ambient, task, and accent lighting, not general flood lighting.

Industrial LED lighting, on the other hand, is designed for use in manufacturing and industrial environments, such as factories, warehouses, and assembly lines. These spaces require lighting that is bright, durable, and able to withstand harsh conditions such as high temperatures, humidity, and exposure to dust and debris. Industrial lighting fixtures are often made of heavy-duty materials like aluminum or steel and are designed to withstand rough handling, impact, and vibration. They also typically have higher power consumption and are intended to provide functional lighting for work areas.

In summary, commercial lighting is designed for aesthetics, comfort, and energy efficiency, while industrial lighting is designed for durability, functionality, and high-performance lighting.

When choosing commercial or industrial lighting, it’s important to take several factors into account. First and foremost, you want to ensure that the lighting is bright enough for the space and provides sufficient light output for the task at hand. Additionally, it’s important to consider energy efficiency, as opting for energy-efficient lighting can help reduce long-term costs and environmental impact.

Since commercial and industrial lighting will likely be subject to heavy use and potentially harsh environmental conditions, durability is also a key consideration. You’ll want to choose fixtures and LED’s that are built to last and can withstand the demands of the environment.

Maintenance requirements should also be taken into account, including how easy it is to access and service the fixtures. Furthermore, the color temperature and color rendering index (CRI) of the lighting can have a significant impact on the overall mood and feel of the environment, so it’s important to consider these factors as well.

Cost is another important consideration, both in terms of upfront costs and long-term running costs related to energy consumption and maintenance. Finally, it’s essential to ensure that the lighting you choose complies with guidance and regulations.

By carefully evaluating these factors, you can select the most suitable commercial or industrial lighting for your specific needs and requirements. Just ask us how.
