Q: What are the Benefits of Creating a Hazardous Area Lighting Plan?

It mostly removes many of the risks of blind light purchases. Buying lights and then hoping for good results has a low probability of success. There are also hazardous area lighting standards that you want to maintain for the safety of workers.Two things you need to know – how many lumens the light fixtures produce and the beam angles / optics the lights have. Without knowing these, and understanding what you really need, can result in light levels that aren’t what you want or need. Too bright or too dim, lighting that is not balanced and full of shadows (spotty lighting) are all bad outcomes that can occur by not doing a lighting planCreating a lighting plan will resolve these issues in the software before any money is spent.

The best way is to start out with either a scaled floor plan or, if it’s a large open space, letting us know the dimensions of the area. It is also important to know the mounting height of the fixtures, and the desired light levels you will need.Light levels are measured in foot candles. If you do not know the amount of light you need, tell us the use of the space and we can recommend the proper light level.
