Lighting Technology

Lighting technology - Flexible and reliable lighting solutions for your construction site

Sufficient light is one of the absolute basic requirements for the efficient execution of any construction site. If there is a lack of light and light sources, it is hardly possible to achieve a high-quality work result. Lighting technology is therefore mostly needed on construction sites when large areas need to be illuminated. However, there are also situations in which a smaller area must be particularly well illuminated by suitable lighting technology or lighting engineering. The additional illumination by a suitable lighting solution is necessary if, for example, very delicate work is carried out there. Additional light sources and lighting technology are always needed when people work in places where there is a lack of natural light. This is the case in tunnels or canals, for example, which is why additional lamps are needed as light sources there. Also, if you have to work at night, it is existential to provide proper lighting through high quality lamps and lighting technology. Lighting technology ensures that you and your employees can see well and work unhindered even after dark. Lighting technology thus has a very wide range of applications. Intelligent lighting solutions are used whenever light needs to be brought into the dark. In addition to their use on construction sites, lamps and lighting technology are also used, for example, for the outdoor lighting of event and storage grounds or on sports fields. Additional light is needed particularly frequently in the winter months, as the construction workday often begins and ends in the dark. On night construction sites, on the other hand, lighting technology and lighting equipment are essential all year round. If there is no large-area lighting provided by adequate lighting technology and lamps, work progresses sluggishly, people tire more quickly and the risk of making mistakes increases. In addition, the standards of the employers' liability insurance association stipulate that the workplace must be adequately equipped with lighting technology and suitable light sources if there is not enough daylight. After all, the risk of tripping, slipping or otherwise injuring oneself at work is immensely high in the dark. A well-lit construction site, on the other hand, is many times safer than if lamps are not installed in sufficient number and strength and there is a lack of light. High-quality lighting technology is therefore a very important and urgently needed investment in your safety and in the safety of your employees.

The correct installation of lighting technology

When mounting lighting technology on a construction site, there are a few key points to keep in mind. Since the lighting technology should distribute its light as evenly as possible, it is recommended to installthe lighting technology as high up as possible and to consider beforehand how the shadows will then fall .The lamps should illuminate the work area well in the appropriate light color and the work area should in no case be in the shadow of objects or people. In addition, better lighting is ensured if several lamps and lighting solutions from the field of lighting technology with less powerful light output are installed. In this way, better lighting can often be achieved than if only one high-pressure lamp is used as a lighting solution. If the light intensity of the lighting technology is too strong, there is a risk that you or your employees will beblinded by the light while working. This must be avoided at all costs, otherwise the construction site may become not safer but even more dangerous due to the lighting. Nowadays, LEDs are also continuously dimmable, so that the light intensity can be adjusted individually.Critical areas should be equipped with additional lighting technology, for example in a different light color or a stronger light intensity. It is therefore a good thing that LEDs are also available in numerous light colors. In general, care must be taken to ensure that signage is perfectly visible and recognizable even when site lighting is put into operation. In other words, the lighting must not be so light-intensive that the sign is illegible due to light reflection. This aspect must also be taken into account when positioning the equipment to illuminate the construction site.

Important aspects when buying lighting technology

When buying lighting technology, you should make sure to choose LED lamps. LEDs are particularly energy-saving and long-lasting, which is why they are now standard in most lighting technology items. Since lighting technology must be regularly maintained and cleaned, this should be as uncomplicated as possible. Due to the high stresses to which the lighting technology can be exposed through impacts and shocks, but also through the weather on the construction site, it is advisable to ensure that the lighting technology isas resistant and water-protected as possible. LEDs are also far superior to conventional lamps in terms of impact resistance. Unlike halogen lamps, LEDs do not break at the slightest vibration. This is where quality pays off when choosing lamps for lighting the construction site. Articles from the category of lighting technology, where the light output can be regulated, are particularly flexible to use, because you can perfectly adapt the lighting to the application situation. From simple construction spotlights to signal lights and crane lights: When it comes to robust, high-quality and flexibly applicable lighting technology and lighting, you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for at Baushop-Express. We offer intelligent solutions for the lighting of any construction site.

For uniform illumination, construction site lighting should be based on lamps that have a wide beam or asymmetrical light distribution. If only a small corner is to be illuminated, a simple halogen lamp or fluorescent tube will suffice for construction site lighting. However, if alarger area or even the entire construction site is to be illuminated, an exceptionally high light output, such as that provided by high-pressure lamps, is required .Light poles are available in various designs for large area lighting. Particularly popular products in the field of light poles are so-called balloon lighting systems. This special type of light pole is very robust and safe. With a balloon lighting system you can illuminate your construction site without glare. Balloon lighting systems and are characterized by a perfect light distribution.
