Hi, I’m Neil Peterson with LED Lighting Supply. Today, I’m here to talk about lighting solutions for power plants. When we say “power plants,” we’re referring to facilities of all types-nuclear, electric, gas, essentially any type of power generation. These environments often demand extreme industrial lighting solutions. Let’s look at a few of the product types we frequently recommend and supply to our power plant customers:

Explosion Proof Fixtures (C1D1 / C1D2)

These are ideal for areas where explosive gases or liquids are present either continuously or occasionally. Depending on the level of exposure, you’ll need either Class 1 Division 1 (C1D1) or Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) rated fixtures to maintain safety and compliance.

High Temperature Fixtures

High heat is common in gas and nuclear plants. We offer fixtures rated for continuous operation in ambient temperatures ranging from 80°C up to 150°C. Many of our customers use our 90°C-rated models, which have been running reliably for over a year. Choosing the right temperature-rated fixture is essential to ensure longevity; heat is one of the biggest factors in reducing fixture lifespan.

Industrial High Bay Fixtures

For large indoor workspaces-sometimes with mounting heights of up to 100 feet-we recommend our heavy-duty industrial-grade high bays. These are time-tested, reliable, and available in models up to 480W and 600W. They’re built to perform in harsh environments while delivering high-quality, efficient lighting.

Outdoor Security Lighting

Power plants are federally regulated and require effective outdoor security lighting. Our industrial-grade flood lights can be mounted on rooftops, poles, or other structures to provide bright, reliable illumination across exterior areas. This enhances both worker safety and overall site security. In all these applications, it’s critical to understand the light levels needed to ensure both visibility and compliance. We can help with that by developing custom lighting plans tailored to your facility, showing the exact number of fixtures required and the expected light levels. Give one of our lighting specialists a call today. We’ll work closely with you to ensure your lighting is safe, effective, and built to last. Thank you!
