What Does Commercial Location Mean?
It means a physical space or address where businesses conduct commercial transactions or a public place where economic transactions occur—for example, schools, hospitals, retail stores, and so on.
Commercial ceiling lights are designed to keep running costs low and reduce environmental impact in commercial and industrial settings. Commercial lighting focuses on functionality， so commercial lighting fixtures are more efficient and have longer lifespans.
There are many different types of commercial ceiling lights, including:
What Is A Vapor-tight Fixture?
Vaporproof light fixtures are sealed to avoid water vapor, steam, dust, and other airborne contaminants into the luminaire interior.
Feature:
- One piece heavy duty weatherproof polycarbonate gasketed body protects electronics from harsh conditions, moisture, vapor, chemicals, and corrosion.
- Aluminum extruded heat sink designed to facilitate heat dissipation to reduce LED junction temperature for maintaining lighting output and life span of the LED.
- 120-277V Input, 50/60Hz
- PF>0.9 CRI> 70
-120° degree beam angle even lighting distribution.
- Available in a wide range of color temperatures from 3500K- 5000K.
- Ambient temperature: -20℃ to 54℃.
- Humidity: 20-85% RH, non-condensing.
- Smooth 0-10V DC dimming feature and compatible with a wide variety of dimmers.
What Is The Benefit Of Vapor-tight Lighting Fixture?
- Less time and money spent on repairing or replacing.
- Easy to clean.
- In some cases, it can reduce the situation of lamp explosions and protect the personal safety of workers.
How to Install Vapor-Proof LED Lighting?
Step 01: Release latches by pulling the top of the latch away from the housing and removing the lens from the housing.
Step 02: Without touching the LED boards, detach the LED tray from the fixture.
Step 03: Take the installation kit outside from the fixture housing.
Step 04: Locate and drill holes for mounting brackets. Use hardware found in the installation kit. Mount brackets to the surface.
Step 05: Press the mounting clips to housing recesses until both sides of the clip are secured.
Step 06: Follow Step 01 for reference make sure the power supply is disconnected before installing.
Step 07: Reattach the LED tray to the fixture by reversing step 2.
Step 08: Secure the lens to housing with lens latches.
Note:
-1) Connect the flexible cord (SJTW 18AWG, not included) to the driver input wires.
-2) Be sure to connect the wet location-rated strain relief(included)to the side hole of the housing.
-3) To ensure that the gap is sealed by glue.
When choosing a vapor proof light fixture, you can consider things like:
-
Ingress Protection (IP) rating
The waterproof rating of the lighting fiaxture refers to the protection ability of the lamp against water without passing the water pressure. According to international standards, the lamp waterproof grade is divided into IP and NEMA two kinds. The IP rating is applicable worldwide, and the NEMA rating is applicable in the United States and Canada.
What Is The Best Waterproof Rating For Lights?
IP20: It does not have a protective effect on the entry of solid objects with a diameter greater than 12.5mm. This light fixture is not waterproof and is usually used in dry and dust-free indoor environments, such as living rooms and bedrooms.
IP44: In the working state, prevent foreign substances from entering solid objects with a diameter greater than 1mm. This light fixture can generally be used in a relatively humid indoor environment, such as kitchens, bathrooms, etc.
IP65: Under acceptable pressure and time, it can prevent water from being brought into the lighting equipment, and the water will not cause damage to the equipment. The light fixture is generally suitable for outdoor environment, such as semi-outdoor, garden, open-air restaurant and so on.
IP67: It refers to the protective effect of water immersion to prevent water penetration or damage inside the equipment after immersion in a specific depth of water within a specified period of time. This light fixture is suitable for underwater lighting, swimming pool, and other water environment.
Waterproof resistance in descending order:
IP67 > IP65 > IP44 > IP20
-
Durability
Vapor proof fixtures are designed to withstand harsh environments, so it has a long lifetime.
-
Energy efficiency
LED vapor-proof fixtures can choose CCT, Brightness, and use LED lighting technology. It is energy efficient.
-
Output
In the case of the same wattage, the higher the lumen, the brighter the lamp.
What Is A Linear Strip Light?
Linear lighting Fixture is lighting that has an elongated shape, it is a good option for illuminating large spaces.
Feature:
- 22 gauge galvanized steel housing with high reflective, matte powder-coated paint.
- Attractive and high transmission architectural acrylic lens.
- Luminaires are available in 2/3/4/8 feet.
- 120- 277V Input,50/60Hz PFI> 0.9 CRI> 80
- 120 degree beam angle even lighting distribution.
- Available in a wide range of color temperatures from 3500K- 5000K.
- Ambient temperature: -20℃ to 50℃.
- Suitable for damp location use.
- Smooth 0-10V DC dimming feature and compatible with a wide variety of dimmers.
What Is The Benefit Of Linear Strip Light?
- Energy efficiency
- Save installation space
- Wide lighting range
- Easy installation
How to Install LED Linear Strip Light?
-
Surface mounting
Step 01: Assemble fittings and fix them in the luminaire holes.
Step 02: Install nuts and gaskets.
Step 03: Mount the hanging plate and secure it with the nut gasket.
-
Pendant mounting
Step 01: Assemble the fittings and connect them to the luminaire.
Step 02: Hanging from the ceiling.
When choosing a led linear strip light fixture, you can consider things like:
-
Brightness
The same wattage, the brighter the lamp, the greater the lumen value.
-
Color rendering index (CRI)
The larger the CRI index, the more accurate the color of the object under the light, and the better the quality of the lighting fixture.
-
Color temperature
It indicates how warm or cool the light appears, and is measured in Kelvin.
What Does LED Wrap Mean?
A wraparound light fixture is named for the lens that wraps around the edge of the fixture.
What Is the Benefit of Wraparound Light Fixture?
- Easy for installation
- Energy conservation and emission reduction
How to Install LED Wraparound Light Fixture?
What Is the Benefit of Wraparound Light Fixture?
Step 01: Remove the lens from thehousing near one end of the housing by using the provided suction cup.Press thesuction cup to absorb one side of the lens. Pull thesuction cup to detach the lens from the luminaire housing.
Step 02: Use the luminaire as a template byplacing it on the junction box and penciling in the ceiling the four holespositions. Put the luminaire aside and drill the four holes. Insert an anchor-ing bolt (not included) into each hole.
Step 03: Screw the four mounting screws into each anchoring bolt, then connect the AC wires.
Step 04: Install the lens starting at one end of the housing. Insert lens slot onto edgeof housing. Carefully squeeze the lens to engage the opposite side with housing. continue this action down the length of the lens until fully installed ontohousing.
Step 05: Turn on the luminaire.
How to Choose Wraparound Light?
-
Brightness
The same wattage, the brighter the lighting fixture, the greater the lumen value.
-
Color temperature
It indicates how warm or cool the light appears, and is measured in Kelvin.
-
Dimmability
-
Energy efficiency
LED Wraparound Light fixtures can choose CCT, brightness, and use LED lighting technology. It is energy efficient.
