APS is developing a growing catalog of AC Voltage Industrial Lighting Solutions for customers in:
- Light Towers
- Workshops, warehouses and commercial buildings;
- Ports and Maritime;
- Draglines and Shovels;
Industrial & Structural Lighting:
Over the past 15 years APS has been working with mine sites, ports and industrial projects on their AC lighting requirements. It has only been over the past 5 years that LED Lighting technology has reached the level of lighting output needed to truly replace HPS, MV and Metal Halide lighting sources.
AC Industrial: Ship Loader Wharf Approach
SCOPE: The 72m long x 3m wide approach to the wharf has only 7 of the 12 Sodium fixtures illuminated, current lighting is not providing sufficient light across the approach, light levels taken were an average of 3.85 LUX at 1.2m and 0.4 LUX at 3m from the fixture.
PROPOSAL: To provide a more eco-friendly lighting solution with reduced maintenance costs for the Wharf approach, by replacing the 12 existing 80 watt Sodium fixtures with 12 x 10 watt LED Junction box fixtures, to be installed in the current mounting position and height.
AIM: To provide sufficient lighting for safe travel across the approach with a minimum lux level of 5 LUX. This was achieved with an average LUX of 6.41 at 3 meters and 60.34 LUX at 1m.
