What are LED Lighting Supply Lights for a Power Plant?

Power plant lighting is a combination of indoor and outdoor lighting. Outdoors, these facilities need both security lighting and general lighting. It's common to find LED Parking Lot lights used to light up large parking areas.

Indoors, there is a special need for high-temperature lighting for areas of steam generation. These lights are specifically designed to handle hot environments. We also offer general lighting for non-high-temperature areas.

As with all high-power LED Lights, energy consumption from the lighting systems will be greatly reduced.

All our lights have aluminum housings - nothing is made of steel or iron.

There are four categories of industrial lighting we can talk about.

1. Impact rating and wet rating – look for a high impact rating (IKxx) and wet location rating (IPxx).
2. High-temperature applications – we offer lights rated for ambient temperatures up to 302F.
3. Hazardous location rating – we offer explosion-proof and fixtures.

We have supplied high-temperature LED lighting fixtures that are radiation tolerant and have been EMC tested. We have provided many LED lights at several nuclear power generation facilities across the USA. Some have been installed on the refueling floors over the reactors where temperatures can be very hot. These lights are designed to operate 24/7 in hot environments.

We have been working with these types of facilities for over 15 years. Consult with your Lighting Specialist and they will recommend the proper power plant lights and solutions for your requirements

What are Nuclear Grade LED Lighting Systems?

These lights refer to LED lighting solutions designed to meet the stringent safety, reliability, and durability requirements for use in nuclear power plants.

Key Features of LED Lighting Supply Nuclear Grade LED Lighting Systems

1. Radiation Resistance: Components used can tolerate radiation exposure without degradation in performance.
2. Seismic and Impact Resistance: Our lights are built to withstand vibrations, shocks, and seismic events common in nuclear facilities.
3. High Temperatures: We have lights designed for extreme heat conditions rated up to 302F.
4. Long Lifespan & Low Maintenance: Our LED lights, especially our high-temperature fixtures, have an extended operational life.
5. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Compliance: Our lights have been tested so they do not interfere with nuclear monitoring and control systems.
6. Explosion-Proof & IP-Rated Construction: We offer both explosion-proof and IP-rated fixtures for wet environments.

Applications of Nuclear Grade LED Lighting

• Reactor containment areas
• Turbine areas
• Control rooms
• Emergency lighting
• Spent fuel storage
• Decontamination areas
• Security perimeters

What are the Benefits of LED Lighting Supply Lights in a Power Plant / Nuclear Power Facility?

• High Quality Lighting: Our lights provide high-quality and balanced lighting. It is a significant upgrade over traditional lighting sources like high intensity discharge bulbs and fluorescent lighting.\
• Reliable, Long Life: With our lights, you can expect years of maintenance-free life without bulb or ballast changes reducing or eliminating maintenance costs. Our lights can run 24/7 and last many years. This is especially true with our high temperature lighting fixtures.
• High-Temperature Rating: we have fixtures designed to work up to 305F.
• Energy Efficiency and Reduced Energy Bills: Using out lights, you can expect to reduce your energy costs and lighting bills by 50% to 75% with lower energy consumption versus traditional lighting. And if you add motion sensors, you can expect even more savings.
• Controls Ready: We offer motion sensors, used alongside dimmable LED lights, which can turn the lights to full power when motion is detected and off / dimmed when the area is void of movement.
• Environmental Impact: There are no harsh chemicals like mercury in our 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.
• Safer Areas: Our LED lights are reliable and produce high-quality lighting for a long period versus metal halide and fluorescent lighting. It keeps the areas lit by LED safer and well-lit.
• Instant On: Our LED Lights turn to 100% the moment you hit the light switch.

LED Power Plant Lighting FAQs

Can You Upgrade Metal Halide Lighting in a Power Plant to LED and Still Use the Fixture?

There are times when retrofitting existing fixtures makes sense. It avoids costly engineering processes to design new lights. We can offer retrofits for both metal halide and fluorescent. When it makes sense, this can allow you to keep your existing lighting. Generally, we recommend using brand-new light fixtures when upgrading old metal halide lighting to ensure peak performance.

What LED Lights Can Be Used for Power Plant Control Room Lighting?

We have installed fluorescent lighting LED replacements inside control rooms. They provide high-quality flicker-free lighting improving the work conditions for the workers in this room. In many instances, we were also able to de-lamp (replacing 2 fluorescent tubes with 1 LED tube). The LED tubes were much brighter than the fluorescent tubes they replaced.

What LED Lights Do We Recommend for Emergency Lighting in a Power Plant?

We have many lights that offer EMBs (Emergency Battery Backup) as an option. This includes high bay lights for power plants (UFO high bays and Linear Rectangular High Bays), panel lights for offices, rooms, and hallways, and exit signs.

Is there a Power Plant Certification for LED Lights?

There is no certification per se like UL or ETL that designates a light certified for power plant usage. We have all the UL and ETL certifications and supply our lights to operators to perform their tests. Our experience has shown that this is the testing power plant operators prefer.

How Easy is it to Install LED Lights in Power Plants?

We offer eye hooks, pendants, and wire/chain ceiling mount options. For walls, we have trunnion/yoke mounts.

Some of our fixtures include cords/whips that wire into junction boxes. In the case of hazardous locations at the power plant, you will utilize explosion-proof conduit for safety.
