Three Reasons LED Industrial lighting Is Suitable For Oil And Gas

Despite the public's differing views on the profitability of the oil and gas industry, many companies in the industry operate on razor-thin margins. Like any other industry, oil and gas production companies need to control and reduce costs to maintain cash flow and profits. As a result, more and more companies are adopting LED industrial lighting fixtures. So why is that?
      1. Cost savings and environmental considerations
       In busy industrial environments, lighting costs account for a significant portion of operating budgets. Transition from traditional lighting to industrial LED lighting can reduce power consumption and utility costs by 50% or more. In addition, LEDs can provide high quality lighting levels for up to 50,000 hours of continuous operation. Moreover, LED industrial lighting fixtures are designed to be more durable and can directly reduce maintenance costs.
The reduction of energy consumption is directly related to the load reduction of power facilities, thus reducing the overall carbon emissions. When LED industrial lighting bulbs and lamps reach the end of their useful lives, they can usually be recycled without any hazardous waste.
      ⒉ Improve productivity
       LED industrial lighting fixtures produce high quality lighting with fewer shadows and black spots. Better visibility improves employee productivity and reduces errors and accidents that can occur when light conditions are poor. LED industrial lighting fixtures can be dimmed to improve employee alertness and reduce fatigue. Employees can also better distinguish between details and color contrast, further improving productivity and employee safety.
      3. The security
       LED industrial lighting fixtures can improve safety in more ways than just creating a better lit environment. Oil and gas production environments are generally classified as Category 1 hazardous environments according to OSHA standards, meaning the presence of flammable vapors. Lighting in class l hazardous environments must be designed to be isolated from potential ignition sources, such as electric sparks and hot surfaces, and vapors.
LED industrial lighting fixtures fully meet this requirement. The ignition source can be separated from the steam even if the luminaire is shaken or impacted by other equipment in the environment. Unlike other lamps, which are prone to explosive failure, LED industrial lighting lamps are actually explosion-proof. In addition, LED industrial lighting fixtures operate at a much lower physical temperature than standard gold halide or high pressure sodium industrial lamps, thereby further reducing the risk of fire.
