2021 Best LED Sea Port Lighting-Buyer’s Tips

In recent years, with the rapid development of the economy, the economic level has been greatly improved, but the environment is deteriorating, to reduce the negative impact of production on the environment and develop in harmony with it. Energy saving and emission reduction has become an urgent task in the world. Thus, many countries have put forward the concept of green lighting in the field of LED lighting, gradually replaced the traditional lamps by LED.

High – pressure sodium lamp, tire crane and bridge crane are used in the most port area.In the traditional lamps, high pressure sodium lamp has the advantages of high light efficiency, long life, strong fog penetration, the disadvantage is mercury pollution, high energy consumption. Led Sea Port lights are a kind of green, environmental protection, safety and energy saving lights which have developed rapidly in recent years. However, the special use environment of port has very high requirements on the performance of LED Port lighting, so what kind of LED Port Lighting will be the best to use on port area and what benefit it will bring to us, let’s figure out more information at the following.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS FOR PORT LIGHTING

SEA PORT

Port lighting enables crane operators and dock workers to safely handle goods and equipment, provides security around the facility, and creates a well-lit environment without spilling unwanted light into the surrounding community.The lighting system must be able to keep up with the 24/7 operation of the port and withstand the harsh conditions of a wet marine environment, including high winds, heavy rains, corrosive salt fog, and extreme temperatures.

Crane Lighting 

Cranes are essential pieces of port equipment used to transport cargo from ships onto loading docks (Quay cranes) and within container yards (RTG cranes). The targeted work area where containers are loaded and unloaded needs to be illuminated from above with mounting heights often exceeding 30 meters. These pieces of heavy equipment require high levels of illumination, often greater than 150–200lux, so that operatorscan safely handle the cargo. In addition, constant vibrations from crane movement create a challenge for lighting equipment. Therefore, luminaires must be bright and be designed to withstand such mechanical stresses.

High Mast

Large storage yards with rows of container stacks need a sufficient level of horizontal Illumination on the ground and vertical illumination onto the container walls so that workers can safely and efficiently navigate the area. This is typically accomplished by Quay cranes are used to move containers from a sea vessel onto a cargo truck. They require a very high level of uniform illumination for operating the trolley safely—typically 100 lux under the boom arm and 200 lux under the operator cabin. This is achieved by installing high output, narrow beam flood lights directly under the boom arm 50m high slightly spaced out and medium output,wide beam flood lights at lower heights.

How to Select the High Quality LED Seaport Lighting?

(1) Seismic resistance

The whole LED Sea Port Lighting adopts the integrated through-hole luminaire structure, which is thickened and highly elastic to connect the mounting bracket and anti-slip wire, and the anti-loosening screw is added with shock-absorbing gasket to solve the problem.

(2) Excellent Heat dissipation

Selects high heat conduction on heat dissipation material aviation level of die casting aluminium alloy material, increase its thermal conductivity, make die casting material coefficient of thermal conductivity increased from about 100 to about 230, double heat conduction ability, on the heat dissipation structure, 3 times process on heat sink to enlarge the cooling area and the ventilation design, make the air inside the LED lamp form convection, increase heat dissipation function, always make the LED light work under 65 ℃ temperature control range to ensure lifespan more than 80,000hrs.

Temperature test report will show you the LED working temperature which prove that good cooling system is very important.

(3) Anti-corrosion

With special treatment on the sureface and anti-corrosion material is added to greatly improve the corrosion resistance and salt spray resistance. Our Port lighting has passed the salty-spray test with 1000hrs.

(4) Lightning protection

A 10KVA lightning protection circuit and ground protection circuit are installed in the LED Port Lighting, power supply to prevent inductive lightning. For direct lightning, an all-aluminum alloy shell is used for shielding.

(5) Dust-proof and Waterproof

Adopt the structure of the heat-dissipating lamp through the hole to prevent dust, so that the dust can’t be hidden when the wind blows and the rain dashes. And completely IP67 waterproof design.

 (6) Anti-glare
The luminous surface of LED Sea Port Lighting uses advanced optical lens to distribute light, without strong glare emission, and the luminous intensity luminescence value in the direction of I 80 is strictly controlled.

(7) Light pollution prevention
LED Port Lighting achieves accurate light distribution, LED port lights project into the lighting of the work surface,avoid light pollution and light waste.

Tips of Best Light Color for Rain and Fog weather days
Use the white LED Port lights in fog day has always been a big invisible problem, in the process of test and demonstration, the study found that the 4000 ~ 6000K white LED Port lighting is not that clear visibility on ground in fog day, and use the lower color temperature of port light, the higher the ground visibility, come to a conclusion after many experiments, the penetration of light has nothing to do with the wavelength of light, but the rain fog days of visibility is associated with light color, low color temperature, yellow light LED port lights in fog day are more likely to see objects and the surrounding environment.Therefore, 2 300 ~ 2 500 K, the main wavelength in the LED port lighting is 580 ~ 586nm warm yellow light, its “rain penetration, fog penetration ability” to reach and exceed the original high-pressure sodium lamp.

Long-term Advantages of LED Port Lighting Systems

1. LED Port lighting systems are responsible for a drop in maintenance costs of up to 100%in 10years, when compared with the total cost incurred by using metal halide lights.

2. Energy consumption is much less than the traditional lighting systems; i.e. above 70% reduction of the total energy consumed by old lights.

3. Decreases carbon footprints and enhances sustainability efforts.

The lighting quality is improved to a great extent with LED Port lights. LED needs to use less fixtures to reproduced a similar brightness result, equivalent to applications with more metal halides installed. On top of that, the whole area gets lightened up as closer as possible to natural daylight.

4. Safe and secure for the vast areas where more light is required.
