Industrial lighting design – Delivering energy savings and legislation standards
Chalmor has over twenty five years experience in designing industrial lighting schemes and technically trained by the Lighting Industry Federation (LIF).
Lighting designs cover a variety of requirements:
Regular lighting, localised lighting and a combination of both, as distinguished by the balance between task and building, or ambient luminance.
Local or localised task lighting designs normally consume less energy than general lighting designs, if care is taken to co-ordinate the lighting layout, task positions and orientation.
Chalmor also offer control system solutions that integrate daylight with ceiling mounted general lighting can achieve overall lower energy consumption.
Remember poor industrial lighting design leads to poor visual performance, poor controls or glare. In such instances energy savings are being achieved at the cost of reduced staff productivity and the possibility of a health and safety incident.
Good industrial lighting should be a mix between energy efficiency and quality of illumination to perform visual tasks efficiently without experiencing discomfort or glare.
