What are LED Lighting Supply Overhead Crane Lights?

Our LED Overhead Crane lights are high-power LED Flood Lights mounted to the bottom of an overhead crane. These fixtures are often equipped as a crane safety light or with crane warning lights to enhance overhead crane safety for crane operators and workers below. They light up the area below the crane as it moves locations, helping make the presence and operation of the crane and its load highly visible to pedestrians and vehicles in industrial areas, both indoor and outdoor. They provide constant lighting for the crane operator. Many models project a blue line or highly visible lines on the ground to create a safety zone around the hook and load, alerting workers and improving worker safety. These warning features are designed to alert pedestrians and vehicles to the presence and movement of the crane, reducing the risk of accidents.

Are there Crane Lighting Regulations?

There are regulations when it comes to overhead cranes. This ensures construction cranes are visible to aircraft at night. There may also be OSHA requirements mandating lighting requirements for areas under the crane. These requirements may change from industry to industry.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Lights for Crane Applications?

• Powerful Lighting: LED Lighting Supply fixtures provide a powerful beam of light to help enhance safety in crane operations. The high-quality lighting helps protect workers and reduce accidents.
• Long Life: Our lights are specifically designed to provide years of maintenance-free life without bulb or ballast changes, reducing or eliminating maintenance costs.
• Energy Efficiency: You can expect to reduce your energy costs and lighting bills by 50% to 75% with lower energy consumption versus traditional lighting.
• Quick Payback / ROI: The energy savings will create a short ROI. The higher the utility cost per kWh, the faster the payback.
• Environmental Impact: There are no harsh chemicals like mercury in LED lighting. So while you should properly dispose of them at the end of life, there are no costly charges like there are with fluorescent lighting.
• Crane Safety: LEDs are reliable and produce high-quality lighting for a long period versus metal halide and fluorescent lighting. The lights help keep workers and pedestrians aware of crane movement and activity, making the areas lit by LED lights safer and well-lit.
• Instant On: Our LED Lights turn on 100% the moment you hit the light switch.

LED Crane Lights FAQs

What Types of LED Lights Can You Use on Cranes?

High-power floodlights offer the best lighting for crane lighting. They are powerful LED lighting solutions that offer many beam/optic patterns. You may need a narrow beam pattern if the crane boom is high above the ground. These high-power LED floodlights are also suitable for gantry cranes, providing enhanced visibility and safety for gantry crane operations.

Will the Lights on a Crane Blind You if You Look Up?

These lights can be powerful and bright. And like any powerful light used in any application, looking into them is not advisable.

Do you Offer Crane Boom Lights or LED Lights for a Gantry Crane?

We do have high-power crane boom tip lights that can project from a narrow beam to a wide beam from the boom tip. Overhead crane safety spotlights should be positioned to maximize visibility and effectively alert workers, pedestrians, and vehicles below to crane operation. You can use our LED Lights on a Gantry Crane, but the crane needs to be able to provide a solid and secure mounting point and power to the fixture.

How Much Surface Area Will Crane Lights Cover at 30 Feet?

Optics range from about 5 degrees to 150 degrees, and that doesn't include non-symmetrical beam patterns. The best way to determine this is to create a lighting plan. Using your crane height, we can create a plan to ensure the coverage is perfect for your needs. But, on average, a flood with a 120-degree optic will produce a 70 to 80-foot spread at a mounting height of 30 feet.

Is it Safe to Use Crane Lights in and Around Salty Environments?

They are, but make sure you look for a marine-grade finish on the fixture. These finishes are tough durable powder coats or epoxy-based finishes. These fixtures also include stainless steel screws and bolts. There is a big difference between marine grade and fixtures that are saltwater tested. The former of the two is significantly more durable for saltwater applications and industrial lighting solutions.

Are there Vibration Resistant LED Light Fixtures for Cranes?

We do offer lights that are vibration-tested. There is a standard testing certification for vibration. If certified, the lights will have a 3G, 4G, or 5G vibration-tested.

What LED Lights are the Best Replacement for Existing Crane Lights?

If you use metal halide or high-pressure sodium lights, LED flood lights make a great option. We can replace multiple lights one for one. And even provide brighter lighting options than you are currently using.

What are the Crane Lighting Options for LED Lights?

• Waterproof LED Lights: Our floodlights are IP65 or high waterproof certified. Make sure the light you buy has this specification.
• Surge Protection: We can offer some strong surge protection options if that is what you need. Most crane lighting fixtures come with surge protection built into the base unit.
• Best Color Temperature for LED Crane Lights: We recommend 4000K or 5000K. 5000K is a bright light that is great for metal halide replacement and is the most used option.

What are Common LED Crane Lights Mounting Options?

We offer trunnion/yoke or slip fitter mounts. We also offer safety cables when needed. You can easily mount lights on a crane. And if you are replacing your existing lights, our mounting options should match what you're using. We have found that the best way to mount crane lights is by using a trunnion mount attached directly to the crane. Proper mounting ensures that warning lights are highly visible for nearby overhead crane use, effectively alerting workers and vehicles to the presence of a nearby overhead crane.
