What are LED Lighting Supply Fixtures for Water Treatment  Facilities and Wastewater Plants?

LED Lighting Supply Water Treatment Facility lighting fixtures are a series of explosion-rated lighting in either Class 1 Division 1 or Class 1 Division 2.

Dangerous conditions are created within these facilities as methane gas is a by-product of this water treatment process. Keeping the building and employees safe can be achieved by using LED lighting solutions. LED explosion-proof lights prevent explosions from happening. LED lighting systems use less power over HID lights like Metal Halide and fluorescent lighting solutions.

When Should You Use to Use LED Lighting Supply Lights in Water Treatment Plants?

Does the water treatment facility produce methane gas in quantities large enough to create an explosive environment? Does the environment contain corrosive chemicals? In concentrations that a spark from light could create an explosion?

Then using Explosion Proof Lighting for hazardous locations will keep these areas safe. These lighting system fixtures are properly designed LED luminaires to eliminate an internal explosion within the facility that could have otherwise been caused by conventional lighting.

Your local government will mandate the use of these lights in such conditions. Also, there are international safety regulations regarding the proper lights to be installed in wastewater treatment plants.

What are the Benefits of LED Lighting Supply Fixtures in Wastewater Treatment Facilities?

• Energy Efficiency: LED Lighting Supply lights will reduce energy usage and energy costs by 50% or more over traditional metal halide lighting solutions
• Durable Construction: Our industrial grade lights are extremely robust and durable. They are the right lighting solution for these hazardous environments.
• Proper Lighting: Our fixtures will provide years of high-quality light. It is very important that wastewater treatment facilities have adequate lighting to keep the environment safe and well lit.
• Reduced Maintenance: Our lights will reduce maintenance costs since they do not require bulb replacements.

How Many Foot Candles Should Be Required For a Water Treatment Plant?

• General Work Areas: 20-30 foot candles
• Control Rooms: 50-75 foot candles
• Chemical Handling Areas: 30-50 foot candles
• Maintenance Areas / Workshops: 50-100 foot candles
• Labs: 75-100 foot candles

LED Lights for Water Treatment Plants FAQs

How Do LED Lights Perform in Wet and Humid Environments?

They work very well. We even offer LED explosion-proof lights in a vapor-proof fixture so that the environment cannot enter the fixture.

Are LED Lights Suitable for Areas with Potential Chemical Exposure in Water Treatment Plants?

They are. Many of the finishes we use for these environments are industrial grade and high-level powder coat or epoxy finishes.

How Can You Choose Between Class 1 Division 1 and Class 1 Division 2 for Water Treatment Plants?

The answer is quite simple.

• Class 1 Division 1 should be installed in areas where the threat of explosion is ALWAYS present.
• Class 1 Division 2 should be installed in areas where the threat of an explosion is SOMETIMES present.

If you are unsure, check with your local licensing board or engineering department associated with your facility.

How Easy is it to Install of LED Lighting in a Water Treatment Facility?

Always use a licensed electrician who’s familiar with your environment as your best option. Following the instructions and local code is the best way to install these fixtures.
