LED LIGHTING FOR
INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Turnkey partner to solve for your lighting challenges:
Dim, power-hungry lighting that harms operational success in a wide-range of ways:
Antiquated fixtures demand up to 80% more energy, provide poor light, and require costly ongoing maintenance.
Lighting can can make up more than 10–40% of a manufacturer’s monthly energy expense. What would that look like in your facility?
Poor light levels negatively impact alertness and visibility — creating hazardous work environments for employees.
Excessive energy consumption leads to excessive greenhouse gas emissions.
Bright, efficient LED that maximizes efficiency and transforms the working environment:
LED fixtures rated for 100,000+ hour lifespans eliminate the persistent need for ongoing maintenance and production shutdowns.
Get the most out of your energy consumption. Better designs achieve optimal light levels using least amount of energy possible.
Transform you working environment. Bright, consistent light levels have a profound effect on employee safety, productivity, and overall morale.
Lighting is often low-hanging fruit for sustainability efforts. Reduce energy waste by up to 80% to make headway on carbon reduction targets.
Advanced software & data-driven design plans that guarantee perfect light and system longevity.
Epiroc has ambitious sustainability goals of a 50% reduction in energy use and carbon footprint by 2030. Epiroc Garland, TX partnered with PEC to implement an energy efficient LED lighting project that not only performs better, is less wasteful, and cheaper to run, but has numerous quality improvements for the people working directly on the facility floor. While a 71% reduction in energy use saves Epiroc over $129k annually, improvements to safety, mood and morale for the employees is priceless.
“People have stopped me in the plant and said thank you because it’s so much brighter.”
— Brett Border, General Manager at Epiroc

In industrial operations, maintaining the proper level of illumination is essential for a secure and effective working environment. The appropriate levels of light, which are expressed in lux, vary depending on the particular functions carried out within the plant.
Here are some typical illumination levels for different areas within an manufacturing plant:
150 to 300 lux
100 to 200 lux
300 to 500 lux
500 to 1000 lux
ROI periods vary based on factors like the scale of the plant, energy prices, and lighting usage. That said, ROI periods for manufacturing plants are typically achieved within 1-5 years.
However, another important factor to consider is the total cost of ownership. While some lower priced fixtures may help achieve a faster ROI, businesses may see a substantial reduction in their total cost of ownership when also considering long term energy savings and related maintenance expenses.
Industrial lighting must be efficient because it not only influences energy consumption but also productivity and maintenance costs. The effectiveness of the lighting in your industrial plant can be greatly increased by implementing these best practices:
Consider replacing traditional lighting with energy-efficient LED fixtures and retrofits. LEDs offer longer lifespans, consume less energy, and produce better-quality light.
Incorporate lighting controls, such as motion sensors and timers, to ensure lights are only active when needed, reducing unnecessary energy usage.
Carefully plan the positioning of lights to avoid over- or under-illumination, providing adequate light coverage while reducing energy waste.
Schedule routine maintenance to clean fixtures, replace faulty bulbs promptly, and ensure the lighting system operates at peak performance.
Manufacturing Plant Lighting differs from other lighting solutions, such as commercial and retail lighting, in several key aspects:
Industrial plant lighting is more durable than normal lighting since it is made to tolerate severe temperatures, dust, and vibrations.
Commercial lighting focuses more on aesthetics than industrial lighting, which is frequently brighter to ensure safety and visibility in big areas.
Given the extensive processes that demand significant energy consumption, energy efficiency is a primary concern for manufacturing plant lighting.
Manufacturing plant lighting has many advantages, but it also has its share of drawbacks. Typical difficulties include:
Lighting equipment can be impacted by the difficult operating conditions that industrial plants frequently experience, including high temperatures, dust, and chemical exposure.
Illuminating vast areas efficiently while maintaining uniform lighting can be challenging.
Due to operational limitations and the requirement for specialized equipment, routine maintenance in industrial settings can be challenging.
The high energy demand for industrial lighting can significantly impact operational costs.
Yes, by adopting energy-efficient solutions like LED lighting and implementing lighting controls, industrial plants can achieve substantial energy savings and reduce overall operational costs.
Yes, motion sensors can be integrated, enabling the lights to turn on only when motion is detected, reducing energy waste and enhancing safety in low-traffic areas.
This is key advantage of LED systems. Modern LED technology has an improved ability to be implemented and controlled within a networked lighting control system.
