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. When selecting lighting for military bases, it is important to consider various factors such as safety, operational needs, and environmental conditions. Military lighting solutions must address unique challenges, including the need to overcome operational and security difficulties at airbases and naval bases. We have supplied high masts for outdoor security, high-power high bays for hangar lighting, and explosion-proof fixtures for ordinance rooms. Our lighting systems are designed to comply with strict regulations and standards, ensuring safe operation in hazardous or explosive environments.

• Military Airfield Lighting: High mast and high-powered floods provide good overall area lighting and minimize the number of poles required. These fixtures are built with durable construction and high durability to withstand harsh environments and ensure long-term performance.
• 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. Proper lighting is also crucial for construction site safety and efficiency, and our products are suitable for such demanding applications.
• 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. These durable fixtures are designed for reliable operation and easy maintenance, supporting the ongoing operation of lighting systems in shelters.
• 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, and our systems are engineered for durability and efficient operation, supporting continuous maintenance and upgrades.
• Parking Lots / Outdoor Lighting: We have a full line of shoebox fixtures that can easily replace 400-watt or 1000-watt metal halide or high-pressure sodium lights. These durable lighting solutions are ideal for outdoor and construction environments.
• Explosion-Proof Lights for Military Applications: We offer explosion-proof LEDs, both C1D1 and C1D2 fixtures. When choosing explosion-proof and high-temperature lighting, it is essential to consider the specific environment and the type of equipment being illuminated. Contractors play a key role in installing and maintaining these lighting systems, ensuring compliance with regulations and proper operation.

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.
