What is LED Lighting Supply Military Base Lighting?

We carry many of the lights a military base requires, including high-temperature fixtures for overseas operations. We have supplied high masts for outdoor security, high-power flood lights, high bays for hangar lighting, and explosion-proof fixtures for ordinance rooms.

• Military Airfield Lighting: High mast and high-powered floods provide good overall area lighting and minimize the number of poles required.
• Flood Lighting for Security and Outdoor Use: We have high power, low beam angle flood lights rated from 200 Watts to 1200 Watts that can provide powerful spotlighting. We have lights designed to replace 250 Watt to 2000 Watt Metal Halide
• Best LED Fixtures to Use for Military Shelter Lighting: Depending on the type of shelter, we recommend low bays, high bays,  canopy lights, and vapor-proof fixtures.
• Military Hangar Lighting: We recommend UFO (round) high bays or Linear (Rectangular) high bay fixtures. We can easily light up hangars with very tall ceilings.
• Parking Lots / Outdoor Lighting: We have a full line of shoebox lights that can easily replace 400-watt or 1000-watt metal halide or high-pressure sodium lights, 1 for 1.
• Explosion-Proof Lights for Military Applications: We offer explosion-proof LEDs, both C1D1 and C1D2 fixtures.

LED Lights for Military Bases FAQs

Do All Lights Used by the United States Military Need to Be American Made?

We have worked with military installations that require a BAA / TAA light fixture, and others were able to purchase non-BAA under a waiver. In many cases, there is not a BAA / TAA option that meets the specific lighting requirements. Depending on the project, we can provide LED lights to meet this requirement for your military base lighting project. We have worked with many bases and have processed FARR exceptions for them when they cannot find BAA / TAA lighting options.

Do You Have LED Lens Options for Tight Optic Military Lights?

We can offer as low as 10 degrees up to 150 degrees. The best option depends on the fixture.

What are Light Levels Required on a Military Base?

• Indoors: lighting in a hangar should be around 30 to 100-foot candles. General office lighting should be 30-50 foot candles.
• Outdoors: Military lighting for runways needs to be brighter than parking lot lights (10 foot candles are ideal). It all depends on the use of the light level required. Security lighting/perimeter lighting of 5 to 10 foot candles is a good target.
