Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for Industrial LED Lighting? You’ve come to the right place. We have many product categories of Industrial Building Lighting for sale. We asked new and existing customers the questions they wish they had answered before making their first purchase. Below you will find the complete list. For more information, please call (888) 423-3191. We are happy to help answer any questions you may have about our lighting products and services.

What Is Industrial LED Lighting?

Industrial LED Lighting is a line of products that are designed to be used in industrial applications such as:

Hazardous locations
High-temperature areas
Steel Mills and Factories
Industrial Shop Lights
Extreme environment locations
Industrial Building Lighting
Indoor Lighting and Outdoor Lighting for locations that need high-power solutions
Ports, airports, container ports, and rail / intermodal locations
Correctional facilities
Power plants
Factories

How much energy do Industrial LED lights save compared to traditional (HID) lighting?

They typically can save at least 50% and as much as 80% over metal halide and high pressure sodium fixtures. They can save even more when paired with lighting controls like motion sensors and photocells.

What Are the Advantages of Using LEDs for Industrial Applications?

Our industrial-grade products provide high power and high-quality lighting with robust, impact-resistant fixtures that work well in extreme environments. The biggest benefit is that they will dramatically reduce your maintenance costs over an expected lifetime of 10+ years.

What are the Benefits of using LED Lights in Industrial Settings and Applications?

There are many, here are the top 6:

1. Energy savings: You should expect 50% to 80% reduced costs over traditional lighting. There are additional savings when controls are used.
2. Less maintenance: HID (Metal Halide) bulbs need replacing at around 15,000 hours. At 1/2 life (7500 hours), they have lost 1/2 of their lumens.
3. Instant On and Instant Off. No long start-up/strike times using LED lights. So, the lights are on when you need them – instantly.
4. Works well with motion sensors. They can turn on and off quickly – and dim – so they work well with these energy savings controls.
5. Dimming: Some LEDs (not all) can dim. In warehouses and factories, this means you can dim the lights when the space is empty. Works perfectly with dimming motion sensors.
6. Lights available for hazardous locations: Whether you need explosion-proof, high-temperature, or other hazardous location lighting, it’s all available in an LED format.

How can you select the right LED Industrial Lights for a specific application or setting?

The best way is to contact us. We have been providing guidance about LED lights to our customers since 2008. We have the knowledge and expertise to know what works and what doesn’t work for industrial applications. And we can produce a lighting design plan for you to show what we suggest will work and meet your needs.

What are the voltage range options for Industrial Grade LED Lighting?

LED lighting typically runs in several voltage ranges. The first and most common is 100-277V. The drivers are designed to automatically adjust/switch to the voltage provided in that range.

So, if the industrial LED Fixture is equipped with a 100V-277V driver, and your input voltage is 240V, the driver will automatically switch to accept the 240V input.

Here are the common voltage ranges we see offered across many of our LED fixtures:

100V-277V
277V-480V
347V-480V

How Can I Reduce Glare from Industrial LED Light Fixtures?

Many of our lights are high-lumen fixtures, and glare can be an issue. But there are ways you can control and limit the effect of glare. This includes selecting the right fixture for your light level required, adding frosted lenses to LED industrial lighting fixtures, and shields to outside fixtures.

How Many Lumens Per Square Foot do I need for Industrial Applications?

We never advise our clients to determine lumens per square foot. We work with them to determine the right amount of lighting in terms of foot candles on the ground and then recommend a fixture that, when installed within their facility, will hit the mark for their specific area.

Do you sell Industrial-Grade High Bay Lighting?

LED Lighting Supply specializes in Industrial and Commercial Lighting products, including Industrial Grade High Bay LED Lights. We offer many of the fixtures you would associate with indoor and industrial outdoor LED lighting:

High Power
High Voltage
High Temperature
Explosion Proof
Impact Resistant
Marine Grade Epoxy Coatings

How do you Hang Heavy Industrial Lighting from the Ceiling?

Many of our LED lights for industrial use include all the hardware required to hang from the ceiling, and we also provide the option for mounting, depending on what is required in your installation. LED lights tend to be lighter than the metal halide lights they replace.

Linear fixtures are not heavier than the fluorescent lights they replace.

Typically mounting options include eye hook, pendant, surface mounting, or wire, and cable.

Of interest, Industrial LED Lighting fixtures weigh less than HID (Metal Halide) fixtures. So, an LED Fixture designed to replace a 1000-Watt Metal Halide will typically weigh less than the Metal Halide fixture.

Can you fit lighting controls to Industrial LED Fixtures?

You can. Because LED Lights are Instant On / Instant Off and can dim, they are well suited for motion sensors and photocells, or a combination of both. Dimming motion sensors can only be used with LED Fixtures using dimmable LED Drivers.

How do you Install Industrial Lighting?

A qualified electrician can easily replace an existing metal halide, high pressure sodium, or fluorescent fixture with a 1-for-1 replacement of an LED fixture. We offer the same mounting systems, so there is no need to modify the mount you have. And, our lights wire directly into the same junction boxes as the old fixtures do.

Can You Use Common Neutral for Industrial Lighting?

Yes, we have options that can wire to common, 277V, 480V, single-phase, and three-phase electric installations.
