Lighting in industrial zones such as factories, warehouses and marine yards is critical not only to provide adequate illumination, but also to ensure that the workplace is safe and efficient. Here’s a look at how fluorescent light covers and LED lighting can help to create a productive and user-friendly environment. 

Maximising visibility in challenging conditions

In tough environments such as coastal industrial plants, shipyards, ports and construction sites, reliable and durable lighting solutions are crucial for safety and efficiency. For example, marine grade lighting is designed to withstand salty damp conditions and will perform well in foggy coastal weather. 

Improving communication 

In large busy and noisy industrial sites where there are constant hazards, such as the movement of heavy materials, plant machinery, and working at height, coloured lighting can be used as part of a visual communication system. 

For example, flashing red lights can be used to indicate malfunctioning equipment or no-go zones, amber lights can indicate a potential issue, and green lights can indicate that a machine is working safely. 

Custom light covers for specific needs

Lightcovers can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the industrial environment. For example, in factories and warehouses, shatterproof light covers are essential to mitigate the risk of dangerous shards of glass falling onto workers and machinery in the event that a bulb or lightcover breaks. 

Fragments of glass not only carry the risk of injury, but also contaminate produce and damage equipment, resulting in significant disruption and financial loss. 

In logistics hubs, coloured light covers can be used to provide clear low glare lighting for packing and picking areas. They can also be used to highlight different zones in large spaces, demarcating forklift pathways, or identifying storage areas.
