LED lighting brings countless benefits to the electronics industry. From warehouses to production lines, LED lights help cut operational costs by up to 80 per cent since they consume significantly less energy as compared to the conventional lights. The LED lights also last up to five times longer than ordinary lights, resulting in less maintenance and downtime, which is especially important in facilities with high ceilings. The industrial LED lighting solutions enhance a company’s functionality, security and employee safety, and deliver a triple bonus of increased sustainability, reduced operational costs and improved working conditions. Let’s look at some of the new launches in LED industrial lights
