What are the Best LED Lighting Supply Fixtures for a Distillery?

Many types of lighting can be used in a distillery.

• Explosive Environment: If there are alcohol vapors always or sometimes present, then Class 1 Division 1 or Class 1 Division 2 LED Lights are the safest option in the distillation process. These lights are designed for hazardous areas.
• Food Grade Lighting: If you need NSF-certified lighting, we can provide that as well. Many of our NSF-certified fixtures are IP69K rated. This is the highest rating for washdown available.
• High Ambient Temperatures: If you have areas in the production process where the room rises above 130 F, we have a full line of high-temperature LED Lights that we can supply. These lights are rated from 140F to 212F and are designed specifically to provide high-quality, long-lasting LED Lights in high-temperature rooms.
• General Lighting: For warehouses and storage areas, consider using UFO LED luminaires. For offices, LED Panel fixtures are a very good option.
• Above the Fermenter Tanks: We would recommend using waterproof bay fixtures or NSF fixtures. We would also recommend a 5000K color temperature. If the area has alcohol vapors, then we recommend explosion-proof fixtures.
• Waterproof LED Lighting Fixtures: many of the LED lights we would recommend for a Distillery are IP-rated for wet locations. We have a full line of LED UFO High Bays that are also IP-rated, as well as our NSF Fixtures, Explosion Proof, and High-Temperature fixtures.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Fixtures in a Distillery?

• Energy Efficiency: with our lights you can expect reduced energy consumption by 50-90%.
• Reduce maintenance costs: our lights do not require bulb or ballast replacement.
• Sensors: Our LEDs work well with motion sensors – so lights are only at full power when needed.
• Instant on: Our lights turn on instantly.
• Quiet: Our lights do not produce humming or flickering
• Washable: we have IP rated fixtures, and even IP69K high pressure washdown fixtures
• Hazardous Environments: We offer explosion proof, NSF, and vapor proof options are available.

What are the Ideal Light Levels for a Distillery?

• Distillation Areas: 20-30 fc
• Storage/Warehousing: 10-20 fc
• Bottling Areas: 50-75 fc
• Tasting Rooms: 30-50 fc
• Office Spaces: 30-50 fc

LED Distillery Lighting FAQs

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lights in Distilleries?

LED lights are energy-efficient, reduce heat output, and have a long lifespan.

Are all LED Lights Safe for Distillery Environments?

Not all lights are safe, but in rooms with alcohol vapors, you should use LED explosion-proof lighting.

What Is the Ideal Color Temperature for Distilleries?

A range of 4000K to 5000K (cool white) provides clear visibility in production areas. Some lights are color adjustable, so you can change the color temperature post-installation.

How Do LEDs Improve Energy Efficiency in Distilleries?

LEDs use up to 75% less energy than traditional lighting, reducing utility costs. Some lights can be equipped with motion sensors, which can dim or turn off the lights in areas void of activity.

Can LEDs Withstand the Humidity in Distilleries?

Yes, with appropriate IP ratings, LED lights can handle high humidity and damp environments. In these areas, you should consider using vapor-tight fixtures.

What Are the Best LED Fixtures for Bottling Areas?

UFO High bays or linear LED lights are ideal for bottling areas.

Do LED Lights Affect the Aging Process of Alcohol / Spirits?

No, LED lights emit minimal (if any) UV radiation. This prevents any impact on the aging process.

What Is the Lifespan of LED Lights in a Distillery?

LEDs can last up to 50,000 hours or more. That means there is no need to change out bulbs or ballasts for that period.

Is it Hard to Install LED Lights Installed in a Distillery?

It is not hard, other than your qualified electrician should be familiar with your environment. Our LED Distillery fixtures install easily and there are only 3 wires to connect to your lighting circuit. If you are installing explosion-proof lights, then we suggest you have a qualified electrician who understands how to install lights in these environments. If the lights you purchase are explosion-proof fixtures, then an electrician should understand all the requirements within your area about the proper way to install these light fixtures.

What are the Mounting Options for Indoor Lights?

We offer many of the standard mounts you are used to – Eye Hook, Pendant Mount, and Surface / Ceiling Mount.
