What is Lighting Design for Power Plants?

Power Plant Facility lighting design uses engineering-grade lighting design software to create a lighting plan. It calculates the total number of fixtures you’ll need. It shows you where to install the fixtures. And it will provide light levels on the floor, and light balance.

We have experience in all types of facilities, from nuclear power plants and thermal power plants to hydroelectric power plants.

Light balance is as important as light levels. Creating a lighting solution that’s bright and balanced is the difference between good and bad lighting.

We offer free lighting designs for our commercial lighting and industrial lighting clients, electricians, electrical contractors, and Esco (Energy Service Company) customers.

How Crucial is Safety in Lighting Design for Power Plants?

Safety is paramount. Well-planned lighting enhances visibility and reduces potential risks and hazards. It’s paramount that the right type of lighting be used, and the lighting is designed for the specific application. For example, high-temperature LED lights are suitable for areas where power generation (steam) occurs.

What are the Lighting Requirements for Different Areas in a Power Plant?

Areas within a power plant have different LED lighting needs. Control rooms require lower light levels. Brighter illumination is needed for equipment-intensive areas. In hazardous zones, explosion-proof lighting fixtures are needed. In high-temperature areas, high-temperature fixtures should be used.

Are There Specific Regulatory Standards for Power Plants?

Yes, organizations like the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA( provide guidelines for power plants. General work areas should have around 20 foot candles. Areas of complex tasks or monitoring complex machinery need more, up to 50 foot candles.

How Important are Customized Lighting Systems for Power Plants?

Every power plant has unique operational, safety, and structural characteristics. A customized lighting design will address these needs while ensuring correct light levels and lighting balance/distribution.

Are LED Lights a Good Option for Power Plants?

They are an excellent option. LED lights will provide a combination of low maintenance, high quality lighting, and task specific fixtures specifically designed for harsh areas. On top of this, you will get the benefit of reduced energy consumption.

What is the Difference Between a Lighting Design Calculator and a Lighting Plan?

Use a calculator if:

You are looking for a free, online tool to quickly calculate the number of fixtures you need
You want quick, simple, and immediate results
You are looking for a count of light fixtures needed based on a specific budget
You need a rough estimate on quantity and layout/configuration does not matter
There is no need to include specific light balance and shadows in your documentation

Use a lighting plan layout if:

You would like a professional lighting plan engineer to review your requirements
You need a calculated lighting plan that shows foot candle readings
You need to see how balanced the light levels are, and you care about reducing shadows
You want to show aiming angles, and light positions in scale within your indoor or outdoor area
You need professional assurance that the lights you buy will be the right choice
