HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SITE LIGHTING?

When you enter the world of professional lighting, you may be confused by technical terms like Lumens, Voltage and IP. If you're looking for advice on selecting theideal lighting for your job site, look no further. We're here to simplify the process.

Whether you work indoors, outdoors, in harsh conditions, or in ATEX environments, Labérine has the solution to meet your professional lighting needs.

CRITERIA TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING SITE LIGHTING

  1. Light Output (Lumens ): It's essential to understand light output, measured in Lumens. The higher the number of Lumens, the brighter the light. Simply choose the right wattage for the size of the area to be lit. Whether you're looking for site lighting, floodlighting or area lighting, we've got the right solution for you.
  2. Diffusion angle (0 to 360°): The diffusion angle determines the illuminated area. A wide diffusion angle is suitable for illuminating a large surface, while a narrow diffusion angle targets a precise area. Some of our products offer uncompromising 360° illumination, such as LUMAPHORE®, the Worksite Lighting Balloon, or our mobile lighting towers.
  3. Weather and shock resistance: The protection index (IP) must correspond to theenvironment of your worksite to avoid damaging your lighting. Also make sure the product has a high IK rating if shocks are a possibility on the worksite.
  4. Power supply conditions (Voltage): In France, the standard voltage on mains sockets is generally 230V, but under certain conditions this can present risks. For work sites in wet or submerged environments, or in ATEX zones, it is preferable to use products operating at a lower voltage, called "safety voltage", which is between 12V and 24V. You need products designed for these safety voltages, such as 24V lighting.

Which professional lighting solution for your worksites?

Here are the different options to consider forprofessional lighting, depending on your specific needs:

  • Construction site: Opt for a Led construction site spotlight for optimum brightness or high-performance area lighting to illuminate large spaces.
  • Renovation: Choose self-contained spotlights or lightweight , portable work lamps, ideal for renovation work where mobility is essential.
  • Great Night Shipyards : Choose a mobile lighting tower for powerful, mobile illumination, or a construction lighting balloon for soft, even light.
  • Explosive Atmospheres : Explore our ATEX lighting rangelighting range, including ATEX headlamps and ATEX floodlights, designed for hazardous environments.

In addition, be sure to select the appropriate color temperature for the location and conditions of use, to avoid glare or insufficient illumination.
