JCC’s new industrial lighting offers
further savings with sensing
For employees to perform well at their work, good lighting is essential as it has a positive effect on both employee mood and productivity.
Conversely, poor lighting degrades employee performance and also has a negative impact on health and safety in the work place.
For industrial applications, such as warehouses and
factories, it’s a constant struggle to ensure lighting
levels are maintained to a good standard.
Warehouse lighting by its very nature can reach
heights of 4m and higher and often requires
specialist machinery, such as a cherry picker, to
perform routine maintenance or lamp
replacements. This has a negative impact on
productivity as areas are temporarily suspended
whilst lighting operations are completed. To help
effectively maintain the lighting in these
applications many businesses undertake costly
annual lamp replacement programmes to ensure
the lighting in the working environment meets
CIBSIE guidelines.
JCC has launched a new innovative Industrial LED
offering Toughbay which looks to help eliminate
these costly maintenance programmes.
The Toughbay range consists of high bay and low
bay variants to replace traditional metal halide and
fluorescent lamp technologies and can help reduce
energy costs by up to 50%. The variants range from
7,500 lumens to 23,700 lumens, and have been
developed to provide solutions for all requirements
and mounting heights within industrial lighting
applications.
Traditionally HID metal halide fittings can lose as
much as 50% of their light output within the first
half of their lifetime whilst still consuming the same
amount of energy. This causes significant
inefficiencies for businesses. JCC’s Toughbay range
not only provides an outstanding energy saving it
can be used with on/off and step dim sensing to
provide a 75% energy saving against traditional
metal halide and fluorescent lamps. Businesses can
now look to save money on their lighting rather
than have energy costs dominate their expenditure.
HID metal halide lamps are incompatible with
occupancy sensing due their 15 minutes warm up
and cool down time. Toughbay has been
specifically designed to use with JCC Leviton’s
multi-functional sensors which can be mounted up
to 15m high and has a 16m wide detection range.
For example, it can allow for savings on low footfall
areas that aren’t required to be fully lit throughout
the day.
Toughbay’s durable and reliable design is the result
of the following features.
• Toughbay’s Meanwell IP67 driver is distinctively
positioned on the outside of the fitting allowing
the air to freely flow around the fitting, helping it
to maintain a consistent operating temperature. As
a consequence of Toughbay producing intense
levels of light, the LED chips and driver both emit
heat and by keeping them separate the LED chips
become unaffected by the drivers’ heat emissions.
• The high output LED chips have an efficacy of up
to 109 lumens per circuit Watt. The wide LED
array is designed to maximise on the heat
dissipation. Unlike a chip on board (COB) design,
where the heat is condensed in one area, the LED
array of Toughbay ensures that no heat build-up
occurs as it disperses the heat evenly throughout
the fitting.
• Toughbay’s unique design incorporates the heat
sink into the body of the fitting which helps
improve airflow and heat dissipation. This
intelligent thermal management reduces
Toughbay’s operating temperature and improve
its’ reliability.
• Toughbay provides the maximum impact
resistant rating of IK10. The high quality shatter
proof polycarbonate diffuser provides extra
safety and assurance in the workplace. Traditional
lamp based fixtures often have low impact ratings
and pose a high risk of shattering. Not only does
this increase the probability of lamp failures but
results in many fixtures requiring accessories to
catch falling glass.
