Innovative lighting solutions for demanding environmen­ts

FOR more than 40 years, Eye Lighting has provided quality lighting solutions for industrial, mining, commercial businesses, sporting venues, and hazardous sites.

Eye Lighting’s operations have expanded to include sales networks throughout Australia and New Zealand, delivering comprehens­ive service and advice.

The company offers technologi­cally advanced and efficient high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, developed by global producer Iwasaki Electric, to add to its growing portfolio of LED products suitable for industrial environmen­ts.

Driven by the motto ‘creating light - developing the future’, Eye Lighting’s team of technical staff is occupied with ongoing research and developmen­t.

With the latest technology at their fingertips and in-house design facilities, qualified lighting engineers and design staff are able to generate technical lighting solutions for a range of Eye Lighting customers.

Eye Lighting’s most recent addition is the SST Bulkhead Series.

Its advent has demonstrat­ed that there are many yet-to-be-defined applicatio­ns where the SST can deliver a successful solution.

One such challengin­g applicatio­n arose recently with the upgrade of all lighting at a significan­t mining resource export loading terminal.

In this installati­on, the client’s brief was that for one particular section of the plant, the preferred lighting upgrade was to be a one-for-one replacemen­t: HID out and LED in.

Not that simple

The existing fixtures (70W HPS) were mounted at an approximat­e height of 1.2m from the deck on a vertical surface.

This gave rise to the operator’s biggest concern and aspiration, the taming of the glare from each fixture along the length of the equipment — a critical design aspect not taken into account during the original installati­on.

It was recognised by all parties that Eye Lighting’s SST Bulkhead Series could and would offer the best solution in terms of the lighting fixtures’ upgrade (both mains operated and emergency). Having the hardware was one thing but would the SST Bulkhead really be fit for purpose?

With the aid of in-house product design specialist­s, Eye Lighting was able to introduce a specific degree of glare control through the applicatio­n of a glare control diffuser film, affixed directly inside the glass lens which provided the desired glare control required by the site operators.

Technicall­y, the diffusers suppress high-angle light above 65 degrees to reduce visual glare and improve the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) of luminaires.

This helps luminaires comply with IESNA RP1-04 and EN12464 glare specificat­ions.

These patented and patent-pending diffusers, unlike convention­al prismatic sheets, have a soft cut- off, with no colour separation, thereby increasing visual appeal and LED hiding ability.

Focused on delivering solutions

This is but one of the many solution success stories emerging from the field as this new product delivers exactly what it was created for – widespread, glare-free light.

The ConV series consists of a range of luminaire options addressing standard, emergency and marine eco with optimal output for multiple applicatio­ns.

The ConV1 is a purpose-built, pole-mounted LED luminaire, featuring a wide light distributi­on.

It is designed for a range of applicatio­ns such as pathways and conveyors situated in demanding environmen­ts.

The ConV2 80W and ConV2 emergency lights are also pole-mounted but built for specific but the emergency variant is an integral, self-contained emergency luminaire, with a 50,000-hour service life.

Eye Lighting is confident that it has the right solution for you designed with quality, durability and reliabilit­y, by creating light and developing the future.
