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. These lighting fixtures are specifically designed for the application of water treatment plants, ensuring compliance with code requirements and international safety regulations. Dangerous conditions are created within these facilities as methane gas is a by-product of this water treatment process. Proper lighting is essential for the safety of workers and personnel, ensuring a safe environment and supporting operational efficiency. 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 than HID lights like Metal Halide and fluorescent lighting solutions. Our LED lighting solutions are fully compliant with code requirements and international standards, making them ideal for both indoor and hazardous areas in water treatment plants. Designed to meet the needs of different areas and applications, our product range includes emergency lighting and high CRI options for color coding and accurately identifying pipes and equipment during inspection and maintenance.

These fixtures offer exceptional durability, resistance to corrosion and moisture, and a long lifespan ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 hours, ensuring reliability and reduced upkeep over time. All our LED lighting is energy efficient, helping to reduce energy consumption and energy costs while supporting energy efficiency goals. Our lighting is engineered to protect workers and personnel in unpredictable and challenging atmospheres with the presence of flammable gas, gases and other hazards.

Explosion-proof designs prevent the propagation of internal explosions by allowing gases to escape safely after being cooled, ensuring compliance and safety in hazardous areas. LED Lighting Supply carries a wide range of products for projects around the world, supporting productivity and operational efficiency. High mast and floodlight fixtures are available to reach different heights or areas within your facility, providing the right solution for every area. Proper lighting is crucial for ensuring compliance, safety, and productivity for all workers and personnel in your water treatment project.

When Should You 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? Hazardous areas within water treatment plants are often exposed to flammable gases and hazardous gases, creating unpredictable conditions that can lead to explosions or fires.

In these environments, compliance with code requirements and safety regulations is essential to ensure safe operations and prevent hazards. Using our explosion-proof lighting for hazardous locations will keep these areas safe. These lighting system fixtures are UL-tested LED luminaires designed 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 are highly energy efficient, significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs by 50% or more over traditional metal halide lighting solutions.
• Reliability, Durability, and Long Lifespan: Our industrial-grade lights are designed for maximum reliability and durability, with a long lifespan that ensures dependable performance in harsh environments. This reduces upkeep and maintenance needs, supporting greater productivity in your facility.
• 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 and Upkeep: Our lights will reduce maintenance costs and upkeep since they do not require bulb replacements.

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

Different areas within a water treatment plant require specific lighting levels to ensure safety and effective inspection and maintenance. Proper lighting in each area, especially in inspection areas, is crucial for safe and efficient operations.

• 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. These fixtures are specifically designed for high resistance to moisture and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance in wet and humid environments.

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, providing exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. This makes our fixtures well-suited for areas with chemical exposure, ensuring long-term reliability and safety.

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 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. Proper installation also supports easier upkeep and ensures long-term performance of the fixtures.
