What are LED Sawmill Lights?

There are many areas inside a sawmill. Some areas are dangerous, with constant saw dust being produced as the large blades process the logs and timber. In this case, your best choice is either a Class 1 Division 1 Explosion Proof Fixture or a Class 1 Division 2 Explosion Proof Light. In other areas where sawdust is not common, like storage areas, standard LED High Bays are great lighting options. For hot areas, high-temperature LED Sawmill Lights are a good option.

What are the Types of Lighting Used in a Sawmill?

• Explosion-Proof Lighting: We have many explosion-proof solutions designed for use in sawmills. Our lights are industrial-grade rated for tough environments.
• High-impact Lighting: We have high-impact rated UFO high bays up to IK08. Our explosion-proof fixtures are IK10-rated.
• High-Temperature Lighting: High-temperature fixtures rated for ambient temperatures up to 302F.
• Outdoor Lighting: We can provide LED lights for parking lots and high-power flood lights for outdoor security lighting.
• Vapor-Proof Lighting: Vapor-proof fixtures are sealed to keep the outside environment from entering the fixture. This gas or vapor would shorten the life of normal fixtures. You should never use a vapor-proof light in an area that requires an explosion-proof light.
• High-Voltage Lighting: We offer lighting with voltage ranges of 100-277V and 277V-480V. Not every fixture we have is available in high voltage, so let us know if you require a high-voltage light fixture.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting in a Sawmill?

• Energy Efficiency: LEDs consume 50% to 80% less energy compared to metal halide or fluorescent lights.
• Longer Lifespan: LEDs have a longer lifespan, often lasting 50,000 hours +. This reduces maintenance like bulb and ballast replacements.
• Improved Visibility: LED lights provide high-quality, uniform lighting. This improves visibility and safety for workers.
• Durability and Reliability: LEDs are robust and resistant to vibrations and impacts. Some lights are also high-impact rated (IK rating).
• Environmental Impact: LEDs are free of toxic materials such as mercury, and they are 100% recyclable, making them a more environmentally friendly lighting option.
• Instant On: LEDs reach full brightness instantly. There are no long warm-up periods. They also work well in cold conditions.
• Adjustable and Customizable: We offer LED fixtures with dimming, color adjustable, and wattage adjustable options.

That’s easy, start with a sawmill lighting plan. Give us a scaled drawing of your sawmill, and we will model your facility inside our specialized lighting software and produce a lighting plan. That way you can see how well our lights will perform before you buy.

How Easy Is It to Install LED Lights in a Saw Mill?

Any qualified electrician can easily install or swap out your existing lights with ours. If you are installing explosion-proof lights, make sure you use a qualified electrician who has experience with the local codes to ensure everything is installed to code.

We offer many many of the standard fixture mounting options that you are familiar with inside a sawmill. This includes eye hooks, pendant mounts, and chain wire mounts. Let us know the amount you need in your sawmill so we can match you up with the correct lighting option.
