The type of support for your shoe boxes

Image
The type of support for your shoe boxes Some of the most common supports for LED parking lights are trunnions, cylinder heads, wall plates, pole supports, knuckles, and trim assemblies. These are not the only frames, they are the ones that are commonly used. If you are installing new LED luminaires, they will have specifications indicating the types of fixtures with which they can be used. However, if you are upgrading your existing lighting fixtures, you may need new mounts to hold the new shoe devices you install. In this article, we will focus on the three most popular types of frames: right-arm mount, adjustable mount, and trunnion mount. Right arms Right mount These types of frames are very common and generally fit with existing square studs. If the shoe lamps to be replaced are already mounted on straight supports, this means that the lighting poles have already been pre-drilled to allow the installation of straight arms. A straight-arm mount gives a clear look to a...

The correct color temperature for your car park

Image
The correct color temperature for your car park The first thing people will notice after installing your new lights in the parking areas is their color and quality. The color and quality of LED light are better because their color temperatures are higher than those of traditional lamps. Color temperature is a numerical value that defines the color of the light emitted by a light source. Light sources with a low color temperature produce red or orange light, while light sources with a high color temperature produce blue or white light. Kelvin (K) is the unit of measurement for temperature. Color temperatures above 5000 K are called cold colors, while those between 2700 K and 3000 K are called warm colors. Let's talk a little about Kelvin's scale. You may know the Celsius scale (or Celsius scale) or the Fahrenheit scale. However, these scales have "reasonable" numbers for everyday use on Earth. For example, the normal temperature of the earth is about 15 ° ...

The right power for your parking zone lights

Image
The right power for your parking zone lights If you are converting metal halide or high-pressure sodium lamps to LED lamps, you have two possibilities: you can choose a subsequent installation or a complete replacement of the device (a complete redesign). With a complete replacement of the luminaire, the luminaire, as well as the traditional lamps, are replaced. This process is expensive because you will need to get new bulbs and LED fixtures. But there is also an advantage: some new LED luminaires are specially designed to work with specific LED bulbs and consume very few watts. For this reason, you may save a lot more money than if you simply replace the bulbs. Retrofit simply means getting rid of the traditional bulb and ballast and replacing them with an LED bulb. This is the most economical way to switch to LED technology because you only need to buy LED bulbs. However, it is recommended only if the devices are in good working order. A lighting designer can recommend t...

If your car park already has other lights

If your car park already has other lights or will it be new lights? If your floor lamps are already equipped with traditional lamps, the approach you adopt will be different from what you would have if you installed LEDs in new street lamps. If you are installing new lighting in a parking lot, you will probably need a permit from your municipality to complete the project. But if the parking facilities are already in place, you do not need to get a license from your municipality before making any changes. However, you will still need to check if the lighting codes or laws have been updated because you could violate some of these rules without knowing it. Municipal laws and lighting codes continue to change, so it's very important to stay up to date. What if you already have existing HID parking facilities? If you have HID devices in place, collect the following information and pass it on to your LED lighting designer. Where is the car park? Different areas have different...

Choose the lighting of the parking area

Image
Choose the lighting of the parking area It's no secret that traditional metal halide parking lots consume a lot of electricity. In fact, they can have a negative impact on a company's bottom line. But we all know that parking spots must be bright, well-lit areas to improve safety. Prior to the introduction of LED lighting, most parking areas used high-intensity discharge lighting. And while these fixtures provided a bright light, the light did not stay shiny for long and consumed a lot of energy, greatly increasing electricity bills. But we all agree that we can not do without the large lighting fixtures that illuminate the parking lot. Since LEDs do a much better job than HIDs, getting them is obvious. Most commercial property and parking owners switch to LEDs after realizing their unparalleled benefits. Their light output far exceeds that of their HID counterparts and they use a fraction of the energy used by HID projectors. But these are not the only advantages ...
