2009, LED commercial lighting fired too hot, according to many outside the traditional commercial brands scrambling to cut into the LED field, Lang Si, Lake, etc. According to traditional domestic business enterprises to follow up, the media and academia also is a business license at LED pen and ink, have favored Kerry. Why has been in a quiet state of LED lighting business will suddenly be so courteous, the companies are not familiar with LED according to the people can not help but fall into a bewildered and confused.

In fact, as early as 2004, LED according to private business enterprises have emerged, but it was mainly the production of mainly low-power light source; 2006-2007, LED business license at the exploratory phase, due to immaturity of the market and technology, very slow pace of development ; 2008 during the global financial crisis, when China lighting in most categories are playing in the cold chills when timely and national macro-policy change, promote energy conservation efforts, vigorously support the high-tech industry, LED business license as a new children are rapid growth. 2009, LED commercial market has come according to the application of the promotion period, the sense of smell is sensitive, pioneers have launched a cutting-edge enterprise, boldly launched its own LED photo products business.

LED commercial lighting so so popular, its prospects do? We analyzed the following aspects:

1, from a technical level, say: LED commercial lighting more advantages than traditional commercial lighting.

Used in traditional commercial lighting, including incandescent lamps, halogen lamps, fluorescent lamps, energy saving lamps, metal halide, compared to the traditional lamps, white light LED with five major advantages: 1, energy saving, LED commercial lighting to only 1 to 10W in brightness similar to traditional photography business cases, low power consumption; 2, environmental protection, LED light source for the recyclable, and energy-saving lamps, halogen lamps and so pollute the environment containing metal elements (such as mercury), recycling become a major problem; 3, security, LED light fever is not high; 4, long life LED light failure can be theoretically reduced to 70% of the nominal life of 100,000 hours, reducing replacement frequency and other maintenance work; 5, light efficiency is good, multi-color changes, 1W of LED lamps can usually reach 90-100 lumens, equivalent to 5-6 times the normal light source efficiency.

Second, speaking from the market level: LED commercial lighting market prospects.

1, R & D costs continue to decrease.

The core technology is LED LED chip technology, with the LED chip technology patents in 2010, then gradually “unfrozen”, LED chip prices will drop significantly, LED products according to the cost of business will be significantly reduced along, this LED production manufacturers concerned, naturally a happy event, the enthusiasm of its production will be increased. LED market will be, can scale production of products to further reduce production costs, allowing popularization of LED Products are also conducive to the extensive application of LED product.

2, brand companies emerge.

According to the traditional business become a professional brand name for many years, but the LED business according to business involvement also remain in the R & D products, development of channels, brand building take time. But this is only a matter of time, as market acceptance of LED according to depth of business development, part of the rise of corporate brands is expected to do.

3, more and more popular application environment.

In fact, LED according to the concept of business has become blurred, and some products are no longer limited to high-end commercial premises, residential homes are slowly even if some applications such as downlights, spotlights and so on.

4, the channel gradually move closer to the traditional commercial license.

LED commercial lighting currently rely mainly on the promotion of the traditional business model of commercial lighting channels. Of course, the view of the LED business license from behind, more focused and designers, decoration design depth of cooperation.

By this analysis, we can see, the future will become increasingly sophisticated LED lighting business, LED products, the stability will be further improved terms for the LED industry professionals, to provide inexpensive high-quality LED lighting in the future will be to promote enterprise LED commercial license key to development. In short, a war has been inevitable, LED commercial lighting, new brands, export brand in this war will become a national tradition of leveraging a dominant force in business according to pattern.

Empire Lighting Resources recently upgraded lighting at one of Pridgen Realty Managements properties. Many of the tenants were complaining of poor lighting and high electric bills. They had already made the switch from 4-lamp T12 fixtures to 4-lamp T8 fixtures on 50% of fixtures. However, additional savings of 50% were achieved by de-lamping the fixtures from 4 lamps to 2 using Empire Lighting Resources VIZ-A-LITE High Vision fluorescent lamps.

With the switch to VIZ-A-LITE High Vision lamps, Pridgen Realty  dramatically improved the quality of light. In addition, an 81% ROI and 15 month payback made the upgrade a great investment!

Now is the time to invest in commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures and retire that outdated, and soon to be illegal, incandescent technology.

It serves none of us to continue using incandescent lights in commercial warehouses with a ban on incandescent lighting of all varieties coming soon. Now is the time to invest in commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures and retire that outdated, and soon to be illegal, incandescent technology. Commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures come in every shape and size and provide the ideal replacement for incandescent lights. This includes ceiling mount lights, hanging fluorescent strips, fluorescent wall packs, floodlights, loading dock lighting and even fluorescent, commercial high bay lighting fixtures.

What is the main advantage of commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures?

By far the longevity of the fluorescent lamp is the greatest benefit to industrial clients looking to make the most of their procurement dollars and reduce overhead for a power-saving return on investment. The terms of average lamp life and lumen output per watt makes any commercial fluorescent light fixture a highly efficient source of illumination. Fluorescent lamps generate very little heat and will maintain cooler temperatures in workshops, warehouses, and other areas where minimizing radiant heat creates a safe and optimal work environment for workers. Reduced maintenance costs and reduced energy consumption add up over time to savings that exceed the cost of initial purchase.

Do you know how a fluorescent lamp works anyway?

Fluorescent lamps create light by passing an electric arc between tungsten cathodes in a tube filled with a low-pressure mercury vapor mixed with other luminous gases. The arc excites the mercury vapor, which in turn generates radiant energy- primarily in the ultraviolet range. This energy causes the phosphor coating on the inside of the tube to fluoresce, converting the ultraviolet into visible light.

What are the electrical requirements for fluorescent lamps?

To start the fluorescent lamp, a high voltage surge must establish an arc in the mercury vapor. Once the lamp is started, the gas offers a decreasing amount of resistance. This means that current must be regulated to match this drop. Otherwise, the lamp will draw more and more power and rapidly burn itself out. This is why magnetic or electronic ballasts that provide the required starting voltage and control the subsequent flow of current to the lamp must operate fluorescent lights.

Most companies carry many varieties of commercial warehouse fluorescent lighting fixtures regardless of where lighting is needed in the facility. Some of the more popular types follow:

Wall Pack Lights

Fluorescent wall pack lighting fixtures are used to beef up security at entrance doorways, corridors, service areas, loading docks, and other venues that require a utility light source. Wall pack fixtures typically have vandal proof lenses and are difficult for intruders to dismantle.

Outdoor Floodlights

Fluorescent outdoor floodlights are used to illuminate outdoor signs, building facades, courtyards and smoking areas. They care suited for installation at grade level on junction boxes as well as on building pointed in a downward position.

Loading Dock Lights

Commercial fluorescent lights help loading docks maintain clear visibility for 18-wheelers and delivery trucks. Mounted on telescoping or swing arms, fluorescent dock lights are very durable, start instantaneously, and do not require a start up period. They prove their usefulness every time the power is accidentally unplugged or when the electricity goes off momentarily.

Vandal proof Canopy Lights

Fluorescent vandal proof lights help property managers protect their investment. These commercial fluorescent lights keep parking garages, car washes, storage facilities, warehouses with low ceilings, and other properties clearly visible with a dependable commercial lighting source. Fluorescent canopy lights fixtures are rock solid and have vandal proof lenses that are difficult for intruders, customers, or employees to disable. Models are available in both square and rectangular formats.

Commercial warehouse lighting must take a number of factors into account to be truly cost effective and functionally supportive of operations and labor. Foremost on the list of consideration is lighting levels. Visibility is necessary to both ensure smooth process flow and worker safety. In commercial warehouse lighting, brightness should be directly proportional to the activity within an area.

Most lighting in commercial warehouses requires equal attention to vertical as well as horizontal foot candle densities because both workers and equipment may be moving supplies either vertically up ramps or horizontally across floor space. It also helps to be able to control the level of lighting in a commercial warehouse in order to maximize energy efficiency. The type of lights you chose for your warehouse is also very important. Some types of light render color more effectively than others, and operations such as assembly line work often require a color rendering index (CRI) of close to 100 (CRI of daylight).

Commercial warehouse lights are often called “high bay lights” or “low bay lights” because they hang from the ceiling of a facility. Bay lights can be High Pressure Sodium, Metal Halide, or Fluorescent lamps. Newer MH lighting fixtures have recently emerged in the market, along with a number of T5 and T8, and parabolic commercial warehouse lights we will examine in greater detail at a later date. For the meantime, the advantages and drawbacks of each type of commercial warehouse lighting fixture is itemized below, along with some suggestions on how each can be most effectively used by an industrial organization.

Types of HID High Bay Lighting:

High Pressure Sodium

High Pressure Sodium fixtures were the preferred form of lighting in commercial warehouses for many years. Not only did they offer the highest lumens per watt efficiency, they also featured the longest lamp life (approximately 25,000 hours). This offers companies looking to weather the recession cost effectively the advantage of a onetime equipment purchase that won’t deteriorate or need constant replacement. Although many people find the yellowish light they produce annoying, they are still used extensively in areas where color rendering is not important. RLLD Commercial Lighting’s selection of high bay HPS lights feature a wide range of wattages and ballast options to accommodate warehouses of all sizes.

Metal Halide

Most people doing assembly line work prefer to work under the bright white light of Metal Halide commercial warehouse lights. The CRI of an MH lamp is much higher than that of high pressure sodium. In the past many organizations found them too expensive, however, as a long term investment. Lamp life tends to be only 7,500 hours or so, making frequent replacements inevitable. Also, lumens per watt efficiency tended to be significantly lower than HPS fixtures, making MH more costly to operate.

Recent developments in technology have changed this to a certain extent. Pulse start MH high bays feature up to 110 lumens per watt efficiency-not quite as high as HPS, but certainly bright enough to provide a well-lit vertical cube and effective downlighting over horizontal work areas. They also feature longer lamp life and are rapidly gaining popularity as a recession proof source of high quality lighting in areas that require color definition and brightness.

Fluorescent High Bays

Fluorescent high bay warehouse lights burn significantly cooler than HID fixtures. In plants where the air tends florescent warehouse lights can lower HVAC costs. Fluorescent fixtures also render colors more effectively than HID light sources, and they use far less power than HID fixtures. For example, a 35watt fluorescent high bay can produce equivalent lighting levels to a 400 watt HID fixture. Although the light is less controllable and intense, it tends to be more evenly distributed. Fluorescent commercial warehouse lights are ideal for lighting large areas of floor space where heavy traffic requires clear visibility without glare or shadow.

Empire Lighting Resources has just completed a lighting upgrade for All County Music of Tamarac, FL. The owner complained of high electric bills and that the store was dark and didn’t show his products in their best light.

Empire Lighting Resources replaced 27 outdated parabolic fixtures in the main store with energy efficient fixtures. Wattage consumption dropped from 192 to 80 per fixture while footcandle readings doubled. This was made possible by using ELR’s VIZ-A-LITE High Vision fluorescent lamps. In addition, Empire Lighting Resources upgraded an additional 60 existing four lamp fixtures using standard fluorescents and two magnetic ballasts in the repair and storage areas with two VIZ-A-LITE High Vision fluorescents and one electronic ballast.

By instituting these upgrades, ELR has reduced the lighting energy consumption, including heat load reduction used by All County Music by over 60%. This translates to a savings of over $4,000 per year.

The employees were thrilled with the new look of the store and the owner happily stated after completion, “you changed the look of my business from regular television to HD”.

Before we look at the many benefits offered by commercial fluorescent light fixtures, we need to briefly revisit a few of the many problems our clients frequently encounter with incandescent lights. The first and most painful of these problems for any size or type of business is high costs. Every organization accepts the necessary evil of overhead-provided that spending money on overhead means generating higher profits down the line. However, using energy inefficient equipment that could easily and affordably be replaced by better technology amounts to throwing profits into an incandescent fire. The commercial fluorescent lights lower electric bills across the board with improved, energy efficient, technology that makes them ideal for lighting any factory, warehouse, or office. Because they also emit less heat than incandescent, they help maintain cooler temperatures in offices and production areas. Extremely bright incandescent can also produce glare that hurts the eyes and in some instances creates safety hazards. The fluorescent light fixture technology is designed for glare free comfort, optimal safety, and longer lamp life that require fewer bulb replacements.

A number of key technological features make it possible for the commercial fluorescent light fixtures to function as luminary solutions to every challenge of power and light. Our commercial lighting fluorescents come designed with special energy saving ballasts that are manufactured with federal energy efficient standards foremost in mind. These ballasts are housed within the fixtures and control current to the fluorescent bulbs themselves. Ballasts also offer the additional benefit of regulating electron flow in such as way as to eliminate the stereotypical flickering of previous fluorescent lights or inferior generic equivalents. The commercial grade fluorescent light fixtures represent the highest level of equipment engineering and manufacturing quality available in our industry. All models are UL/CUL listed as well to ensure value to both U.S. and Canadian business owners. Because we do business as well in many humidity prone regions such as the American Gulf Coast, we carry a number of commercial fluorescent light fixtures that have been specifically developed for long lamp life in damp regions-regions where incandescent may sometimes short when the humidity levels peak. We also make it a point to supply our clients with commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures that manufactured with baked, white enamel finishes and polyester powder coatings that minimize radiant heat. We even have certain high-end models that provide additional fixture protection with rust inhibitors that protect metal parts from oxidation, and low brightness/extruded acrylic refractors that eliminate glare in critical work areas.

The new generation of commercial fluorescent lights has evolved far beyond the stereotypical complaint generators of the cheap office panel overheads of the 70’s and 80’s. Today’s commercial fluorescent lights have eliminated the two major sources of nuisance that past models created: the infamous “yellowish tint to everything” and the “flicker that gives office workers headaches.” New ballast technology, better phosphor coatings on bulb interiors, and superior gas mixtures on the inside of the bulbs now produce cool, consistent, comfortable white light. The leap forward in technology has made it possible to customize commercial lighting fixtures for virtually any indoor or outdoor lighting need, making it now possible for businesses to replace incandescent unilaterally with an entirely new, cost-effective equipment purchase that begins to accrue ongoing return on investment the moment operations flips the switch to begin new, power saving production of better light. This last point is an extremely important point to consider from another perspective. The State Government of California recently passed legislation mandating replacement of all incandescent lighting no later than the year 2010. Any business located in either Northern or Southern California should strongly consider replacing all incandescent now with commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures now. Waiting until the last minute could result in a lemming-like stampede equivalent to procurement department suicide as everyone tries to order at the last minute in December 2009.
