Commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures offer warehouses considerable advantage over incandescent lighting fixtures.

What is the main advantage of commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures?
Fluorescent lights last longer and save commercial facilities a great deal of money on replacement costs. Average lamp life and lumens output per watt a highly efficient source of illumination in any fluorescent fixture. Fluorescent lamps generate minimal heat and maintain cooler temperatures in workshops and warehouses where workers cannot safely afford to work in an overheated environment. Reduced energy consumption also adds up over time to savings that exceed the cost of initial purchase.

Do you know how a fluorescent lamp works anyway?
A fluorescent light creates passes an electric arc between tungsten cathodes in a tube filled with a low-pressure mix of mercury vapor and 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?
A high voltage surge must establish an arc in the mercury vapor. Once the arc hits, the gas offers a decreasing amount of resistance. This causes the regulated current to match this drop and increase in intensity. To keep the current under control, and to prevent the lamp from burning out as a result, magnetic or electronic ballasts that provide the required starting voltage and control the subsequent flow of current to the lamp must operate fluorescent lights.

Which is better: magnetic or electronic ballast?
An electronic ballast provides superior current flow regulation. They are more costly, but eliminate flicker for areas that require a slightly higher grade of internal light. Consider investing in electronic ballasts for lights inside executive or manager offices adjacent to the warehouse floor.

The basic purpose of industrial lighting fixtures is to provide safety and accessibility for all employees and customers!

Outdoor industrial lighting fixtures and bulbs from Easy Rack can play a vital role in reducing overhead costs by lowering insurance premiums with security lights, and saving power consumption or energy by using HID or fluorescent light fixtures. Good quality industrial warehouse lighting also is helpful for warehouse workers to navigate through the warehouse safely and to minimize mistakes for not being able to read SKU or part numbers.

The main benefit of industrial lighting equipment is to provide uniform light levels in a specified work area without adversely affecting worker performance in any way. Industrial lighting differs according to the area they cover and glare from the lighting fixtures is a major concern for workers as this could lead to accidents or injury. If the area is small, low bay metal halide fixtures can be positioned above work stations. Industrial lighting fixtures are available with different type light bulbs, wattage, sizes and finishes that can match any kind of industrial lighting condition. For example, high bay commercial fixtures are designed for larger facilities and offer higher wattage's to maintain critical light levels.

There are many Industrial lighting options open to commercial lighting buyers, it is simple to select lighting fixtures, which suit the budget, location, and desired level of expediency. Industrial lighting fixtures can be smooth modern lights, halogen or compact fluorescent, incandescent light bulbs, spotlights, or luminaries offering infinite choice to industrial businesses. Even with commercial warehouse lighting applications, it is often important for workers and customers to inspect the products that enter and leave the warehouse. If color rendering is an important consideration, for example, then metal halide would be an excellent choice due to its ability to render colors as they would appear in daylight. If, on the other hand, you are exploring a commercial outdoor lighting application where sheer efficiency is most important, you might consider a high pressure sodium bulb. While the light tends to be orange gold in color, high pressure sodium bulbs tend to be more efficient and therefore longer lasting than metal halide. High pressure sodium lighting fixtures produce more lumen's per watt than metal halide sources.

Easy Rack offer high bay and low bay industrial lighting fixtures, which are intended to provide quality lighting for different sized offices, industrial warehouse storage or other commercial buildings. High bay fixtures by design emit a more concentrated light with minimal dispersion and are well-matched for taller ceilings. Low bay equipment is much better suited to low ceilings and smaller spaces.

Outdoor industrial lighting fixtures and bulbs are influenced by extreme temperatures. These extreme temperatures can be weather related or environmentally related. Be sure your industrial lighting fixture has zero degree ballast that will perform in extremely low temperatures and that the finish on the fixture will not tarnish and is rust resistant. It is desirable to purchase higher quality industrial lighting fixtures as lower quality fixtures can have bubbles or scratches.

The placement of outdoor lighting fixtures is an equally important factor that should be well planned. Wrongly positioned lighting fixtures can create hot spots. The basic purpose of industrial lighting fixtures is to provide safety and accessibility for all employees and customers as well. Designs and size of lighting fixtures should balance with the purpose both is size and light output. Certain outdoor lights are reasonably effective in safeguarding property, for example, motion-detecting lights can be coupled to security and alarm devices.
