If you are
in the market for new lighting, you owe it to yourself
to purchase the best possible
products. LED lighting has become incredibly popular in recent
years. LED lighting is energy efficient,
visually impressive, and affordable. With all of that
being said, your LED lighting will not be worth much
without adequate housing to keep it all
together. Today, we are going to be discussing the benefits of pursuing thermoplastic housing for
your LED lighting solutions. Whether you are looking for lights to hang in
your retail store or your own home, you’ll soon see why
thermoplastic housing is the way to go.
Benefits of Thermoplastic Housing
for LED Lighting
Most people probably are not aware of
what thermoplastic is as a
conventional material. Thermoplastic refers to
a type of material that is pliable at a certain
temperature level. When we talk about thermoplastic materials, most people
immediately think of products like nylon, acrylic, and
polypropylene. However,
there is a multitude of different thermoplastic options available for you. What you’ll find is,
to a material, thermoplastic housing offers
a host of immediate benefits to someone who is focused on
installing LED lighting in their home. Here are a
few reasons as to why you should have your LED
lights housed in thermoplastic material.
1) Environmentally Friendly –
Manufacturing and processing thermoplastic materials are
incredibly friendly to the environment. Why is this
the case? Well, thermoplastics can be produced at
a low volume without a high energy cost. Additionally,
your thermoplastics are going to be easy
to recycle which will keep even old products
in rotation. All told, thermoplastic is very friendly
to the environment.
2) Aesthetically Pleasing – Thermoplastic housing for your LED lights
can come in a variety of shapes, styles,
and colors. Thermoplastics are incredibly malleable
which means that you’ll be able to find your way to the perfect design
for your needs. You’ll also find
that thermoplastics offer you the most diverse collection
of finishing options.
3) Longevity – Individuals
who pursue thermoplastics for their LED lighting
will come to realise just how durable
the material is. Thermoplastics are typically lightweight
but incredibly
durable. You’ll find that thermoplastics are
bendable, strong, and even resistant to shrinkage. Depending on
the type of resin that is used, you’ll see thermoplastics in
simple grocery bags or high-stress machine components.
When it comes to installing your LED lighting, make
sure that you have the right housing for
your needs. Thermoplastics provide an affordable,
effective, and environmentally friendly solution to your housing
needs. If you are ready to enjoy the thermoplastic
advantage, call our team at NORKA Lighting
to discuss your options.
Commercial buildings and other venues have unique,
challenging lighting needs that are difficult to fulfil with just stock
solutions. For this reason, these entities must find customised answers to
ensure that they can illuminate their harsh ambient environments appropriately,
attractively and as glare-free as possible. If your situation fits the above
description, you need to understand that our company, NORKA Lighting, delivers
innovative, quality, custom-made lighting solutions to many clients in similar
circumstances all throughout the year.
About NORKA Lighting
Our company has been a privately owned family business since 1948. Since our
inception, we have built a reputation for custom, quality, highly efficient
light fixtures. From our humble beginnings, we have grown to a large
manufacturing company that employs over 250 people.
At our facility that is south of Hamburg, we manufacture most of the components
for the extensive lineup of lighting products that we also assemble at the same
facility.
In addition, we have a training facility and state-of-the-art laboratories
along with planning departments to ensure that we constantly improve our
products to keep them the most effective lighting solutions on the market
today. On top of all of this, our luminaires are the most environmentally
friendly in the lighting industry.
Examples of Our Lighting Solutions
Dublin is an example of our
production/warehouse lighting options. It mounts either on the surface or
recessed into the ceiling and is made from durable aluminium. This fixture uses
T5-/T8 fluorescent lamps. We recommend this for metro and underground stations,
swimming pools, ramps, and sports halls along with other demanding
locations.
Uranus is
one of our floodlight offerings. With its LED array, this is suitable for use
in industrial locations, commercial buildings, car parks and much more due to
the fact that it illuminates sufficiently even when it needs a high height for
mounting. In addition, its housing is UV-resistant and weatherproof to ensure
that it stands up to the outdoor elements durably.
Zug is
an example of our tubular luminaires that provide effective illumination for
both outdoor and indoor locations. It functions well in many situations ranging
from work pits to classrooms. Mounting of this tubular selection can be
performed in a single-fixture or multiple-row configuration.
Phalanx
Linear 240 is just one of our many vandalism-proof
luminaires. This model has superior impact resistance in both ceiling and wall
surface mountings. It can withstand as much as 150 joules. As a result, it is
suitable for any location that is at risk of negligent or deliberate
damage.
For further information about our custom-made lighting solutions for your harsh
ambient conditions, contact us at your convenience. We will analyse your
specific needs and provide you with our recommendations along with a quote.
There is no place where adequate lighting is as
important as in learning institutions. It not only provides a safe atmosphere
for all who enter these locations, but it also enhances the students’
concentration during their classes. Sufficient lighting lifts the mood and
helps students be alert and energetic, which can increase their interaction in
their classes. For all of these reasons, it is crucial to select the ideal
light fixtures to ensure that the atmosphere in educational institutions is
conducive to learning. We share with you some suggestions for lighting various
parts of these institutions below to help you illuminate yours suitably.
Entryways, Exits, and Outdoor Areas
Uranus and Uranus PF floodlights
are two examples of the lights that are ideal for these areas. Their LED array
shines effectively to bring attention to the entrances and exits. Also, these
floodlights illuminate parking lots at your learning facility to allow safe
access during night-time hours. The luminaire housing of these are constructed
with a UV-resistant, weatherproof, fibreglass-reinforced polymer.
Classrooms and Libraries
Tubular lights are the ones to install in libraries and classrooms where you
need consistent illumination throughout the rooms. Typically, professionals
install multiple units of these and in rows when necessary. Bern LED is
one example of these lights and is durable enough for both indoor and outdoor
use.
Storage Rooms
Do not forget to provide adequate lighting in your storage rooms to help your
staff members and students find the supplies that they need for various
purposes. Beelitz is
a recessed LED model that brightens up these rooms with just the right amount
of illumination to ensure that all items in the room are easy to locate.
Staircases and Hallways
These areas of a learning facility can be difficult to illuminate on the right
level since they are closed in without a lot of windows. For these areas,
consider installing GERA or GERA LED luminaries.
Both are effective in passageways, such as hallways and staircases.
Cafeteria
This is another room that calls for tubular luminaires since they are easy to
install over a spacious area and provide excellent illumination. ZUG LED is
one example of the tubular lights that will work efficiently in this room in
your educational facility.
To learn about additional lighting recommendations for different areas in
learning institutions, consult with our company, NORKA. For over 60 years, we
have been developing and selling customised illumination solutions for all
different types of demanding environments ranging from educational facilities
to industrial settings. We will work closely with you to ensure that you
receive the most effective lighting for your location.
Owners of
industrial facilities must pay attention to every detail of their businesses,
including sufficient lighting for their buildings. The latter is no small task since
the ceilings are extremely high in most industrial structures. However, with
the right lighting products that contain the latest technology and materials
you can not only provide adequate illumination to your entire industrial
structure, but you also can help improve the level of productivity in the
following ways:
1. You Provide Quality Illumination
Throughout Your Establishment
The main benefit from installing the correct lighting products is the fact that
you provide adequate, if not superior, illumination for your entire building.
You will accomplish without harshness, dimness or other undesirable problems.
Employees cannot work up to their full potential when they need to strain their
eyes in an inadequately lit building.
2. The Right Lighting Products Increase Employee Morale
Since your employees spend so much of their time at work in your facilities,
you need to ensure that the atmosphere is one that promotes positivity. Quality
lighting products help increase and maintain employee morale by providing a
bright, cheery work area instead of a dark, dismal one.
3. Updating Lighting in Your Facilities
Enhances Quality Control Efforts
With the right lighting, you can improve your efforts in controlling the
quality of your products and workmanship since you can see the flaws with
greater accuracy. This improves your production standards, which leads to
higher client satisfaction.
4. Lighting With the Correct Products
Can Increase Orders and Job Security
By improving client satisfaction, you can increase the demand for your
products. As a result, there is more job security for your employees. When
employees feel secure in their jobs, they perform on a higher level. In turn,
your production numbers increase substantially.
5. The Right Lighting Products Are
Energy Efficient for an Additional Benefit
Along with the above benefits, the right lighting products will be more energy
efficient for your company. Your resulting savings can help you hire additional
employees to increase production turnout.
Security Is Another Benefit of the Right
Lighting
Even though it is not related to production, we feel like we should mention
that the correct lighting products will enhance your security measures.
Exterior and interior floodlights are two examples of the lighting of which we
speak.
For further information on how the right lighting products can help improve
production in your industrial setting along with other benefits, consult with
NORKA Lighting. We offer a wide assortment of lighting products that include
the latest in technology and materials. All of them are ideal for commercial
and industrial purposes.
Typically,
business properties require a variety of lighting options to fulfil their
specific illumination needs. While some of these options are for general use,
an exterior/interior floodlighting system is for those areas that need the
illumination targeted to a specific area. Choosing which lighting components
will work best for this system can be a bit mind-boggling, though, since there
are numerous options available currently. To help you decide, we provide you
with the following information about LED floodlights, which are our favourite
for this purpose.
Benefits of Using LED Floodlights in
Your Exterior/Interior Floodlighting System
• LED floodlighting lasts much longer than other types of lighting. In fact,
LED units have a lifespan of approximately 50,000 hours, which allows them to
last for about 10 to 15 years depending upon how long they are on each
day.
• These floodlights run on far less energy that fluorescent and other kinds of
light options do, and this lowers your electric bills. Cost of electricity can
be overwhelming today, regardless of the nature of your business or location.
Due to the fact that you will pay less for electricity and that you do not need
to buy new units as often, LED floodlights are your most cost-effective
option.
• Since you use less electricity with the LED floodlights and need to change
them out less frequently, they are the environmentally friendly option for a
floodlighting system.
• The light that these floodlights emit is clear, crisp and focused. Instead of
over-lighting an area, they can provide just the right amount of
illumination.
Examples of LED Floodlight Options
• Centauras comes
ready to mount and install. It has dimming capability of one to 10 volts. Needs
230 to 240 volts AC/DC to operate. Compatible with the LUCON® luminaire
system.
• Centauras VHT is
similar to the Centaurus model except that it is built to withstand
temperatures of up to +85-degrees C.
• Uranus has
a built-in transformer, comes ready to install and runs off 230 to 240 volts
AC/DC. The LED array will move 60 degrees forward or backward from its centre
position.
• Uranus PF is
similar to the Uranus except it LED array is mounted in such a way that it can
shine down, slightly forward or completely forward since it can adjust a full
90 degrees when necessary.
*Note: All the above models come with durable housings that are suitable for
both indoor and outdoor areas.
