Commercial Area Lighting

 

What is Area Lighting?

Area lighting is designed to illuminate a whole area at night, using lights that cast directional light rays from within a set boundary, such as a rectangular or circular boundary. Rather than illuminating an area, such as a room, with a single point of light, area lighting uses multiple points of light to illuminate large or hazardous areas to make them more accessible and safer.

Types of Area Lighting

Because area lighting can be used in a wide variety of internal and external spaces (depending on their size), the design and installation of the lighting can depend more on the need that lighting is fulfilling. Different types of area lighting can include:

Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lights placed around the exterior of a building, which could be residential, commercial or industrial. Exterior lights or outdoor lighting is most commonly used at entrances and pathways, and include fixtures such as outdoor sconces and wall lights. 

Outdoor lights for entrances should be positioned with the center point approximately 1.6-1.8m above the ground or floor to match the average head height. 

Other types of exterior lights can be used for an outdoor living space, such as decks, patios or porches.

Hazardous Area Lighting 

Hazardous area lighting is used in areas considered hazardous due to harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or the presence of corrosive materials/elements. Hazardous lights have an intrinsically safe rating, which means that the electronics/wiring within the equipment can not spark at all. This is important in areas where they may be exposed to gas or highly flammable elements, as the lighting cannot accumulate enough energy to spark at the site.

Security Lighting

Security lighting is another sort of outdoor lighting designed to potentially deter criminal activity or, in the worst case, illuminates the area to provide a clear view of persons or objects in the area being protected. There are different kinds of lighting that can be used for security purposes, including sensor lights, continuous lighting, portable lighting and emergency lighting.

 

Can I use LED lights outside?

LED lights are completely safe to use in outdoor lighting, provided they are housed and sealed correctly. Using them in areas that are covered from the elements is also ideal, however, if the lighting is protected and designed for use outdoors, then it is safe to add LED products to your outdoor areas.
