Construction Site Lighting

Construction site lighting - irreplaceable in poor lighting conditions, on night construction sites or in the winter months.

Especially in the winter months, the working day on the construction site often begins and ends in the dark. However, good construction site lighting is also essential on night construction sites, for example by means of high-quality and energy-saving LED spotlights. If the construction site lighting is inadequate and there is a lack of light, work progresses slowly, people tire more quickly and the risk of making mistakes increases. In addition, the employers' liability insurance association prescribes adequate construction site lighting if there is not enough natural light. If the construction site does not have adequate lighting, the risk of tripping, slipping or otherwise injuring yourself while working on the site increases. If you equip all walkways and the places where work is being done evenly with lighting, a large number of work accidents can be prevented. Good construction site lighting that provides sufficient light and uniform illumination, for example by means of modern LED spotlights, is therefore a very important and urgently needed investment in your safety and the safety of your employees. Good lighting also improves their efficiency.

What varieties of construction site lighting are available, how are they used, and what should you look for when buying?

A basic consideration you should make before purchasing lamps and spotlights to illuminate your construction site is whether the construction site lighting will be used for a relatively long time or perhaps even permanently in the same location, or whether a mobile light source is more suited to your needs. With a mobile light source, you remain flexible and can install it quickly and easily wherever you need light at the moment. If, on the other hand, you want to realize a larger project where the lighting is always needed in the same place, a robust and permanently installable lighting solution is preferable to a mobile light source. This may be the case, for example, in tunnel construction. For uniform illumination, construction site lighting should be based on lamps and spotlights that have a wide beam or asymmetrical light distribution. If only a small corner on the construction site is to be uniformly illuminated, a simple halogen luminaire or fluorescent tube is sufficient for construction site lighting. However, if alarger area or even the entire construction site is to be uniformly illuminated, a decidedly high light output, such as that provided by high-pressure lamps, is required. In this case in particular, illumination by means of an LED spotlight is highly recommended. When installing the construction site lighting, there are also some key points to consider. Since the construction site lighting should provide the most uniform illumination possible, it is recommended to install the lamps as high as possible and to consider beforehand how the light will be distributed and how the shadows will then fall . Thelight at the work area should provide uniformly for a good illumination of the same and the work area should in no case be in the shadow of objects or people. In addition, better construction site lighting is ensured when several LED lamps with less Stark light output are installed and thus distribute their light evenly than when only the light of one LED high-pressure lamp is used to illuminate the construction site. If the light intensity of the construction site lighting is too strong, there is a risk that you or your employees will be blinded by the light of the spotlights while working. Particularly critical areas should be equipped with additional construction site lighting, for example in a different light color or a stronger light intensity. In general, care must be taken to ensure that signage is perfectly visible and recognizable even when construction site lighting is in operation.

When buying construction site lighting, as already mentioned, make sure to buy an LED lamp. The lamps and spotlights, which are equipped with LED technology, very efficiently produce enough light, evenly illuminate their construction site and are particularly energy efficient and durable. Therefore, LED technology is now standard for most items in the field of construction site lighting. For the illuminants belonging to the spotlight or lamp, the luminous flux, which is specified in lumens, is an important parameter. In lumens it is indicated how much light a lamp emits. The electrical power consumed is given in watts. By comparing the luminous flux emitted in lumens with the electrical power consumed in watts ("lumens to watts"), the efficiency of a lamp or spotlight can be assessed.

Since construction site lighting must be regularly maintained and cleaned to ensure sufficient light on the construction site in the long term, maintenance should be as uncomplicated as possible. Due to the high loads to which the construction site lighting can be subjected by impacts and shocks, but also by the weather on the construction site, it is advisable to make sure to purchaseconstruction site lighting that is as resistant and water-protected as possible. Here, too, LED lamps and spotlights shine due to their particularly high impact resistance. In general, quality pays off when it comes to construction site lighting. High-quality lamps and spotlights from the construction site lighting category, in which the light output can be regulated, are particularly flexible to use, as the light can be perfectly adapted to the lighting situation. From simple construction spotlights to signal lights and crane lights: When it comes to robust, high-quality and flexible construction site lighting with LED technology, you are guaranteed to find what you are looking for at Baushop-Express.
