Part 1: Efficiency of lighting
As India’s warehousing, manufacturing, and allied industries grow, naturally the area to be illuminated increases. As we see new factories and warehouses being built daily, one of the key aspects of performance is often the most overlooked – lighting.
Not only does proper illumination prevent accidents, hazards, but it also leads to increased productivity and better material management. For you to get the most out of your high bay lights and avail its benefits to the fullest, these things must be studied before finalizing the product.
1. The efficacy of the light – Lumens per Watt
One of the most common mistakes made during high bay light selection is that of focusing on Wattage rather than Lumens. Wattage is what you give and lumens are what you get in return. Focusing on wattage is as good as fixing your daily operational costs and settling for the illumination you get for those costs. Focusing on lumens is when you fix what you want and try to get it in the lowest power consumption (Wattage) possible.
Hence, choosing the lumens for your high bay lights is the primary focus. Once you decide what Lux you want on the ground, a lighting designer can help you calculate the lumens and quantity of lights required. At A & A Global Resources, we also provide free Dialux simulations for prospective customers. You can email us at sales@ledindia.net to avail the same.
Once the lumens requirement is finalized, you should try to achieve the same while spending the least in terms of operational cost. Trying to get a lower capital cost in your high bay led lights can lead to lower quality lights leading to earlier failure. Instead, focusing on the lowest operational cost makes sure there is a focus on high quality while also having the quickest ROI.
At A & A Global Resources Pvt Ltd, we have the lowest operational cost out of all brands in India. This is due to our 190 Lm/w high-efficacy lights. Our focus on this is in order to provide our customer the best possible solution while ensuring they avail daily savings. A byproduct of high efficacy lighting is its high reliability, which has led to us having less than a 0.5% failure over a period of 5 years.
