GRAIN STORAGE LIGHTING
Grain Storage and Processing Lighting must provide protection and performance; lights must perform efficiently in the presence of flammable dust. A successful lighting design will feature appropriately zone-rated, enclosed luminaires to meet regulatory guidelines for hazardous areas and food production. GRAIN PROCESSING AND STORAGE LUX LEVELS
How can Kellwood Lighting help?
- Enclosed Light Fittings - our grain processing and storage lights are housed in high IK and IP rated enclosures (select models also available with polycarbonate lenses).
- Low Profile Lights - slim luminaires (without compromising on thermal performance) maximises head-room within the grain processing or storage area.
- Emergency Lighting - we can provide emergency lighting solutions for grain processing and storage areas, as well as general lighting solutions.
- Energy Saving - High efficiency LED light engines minimise energy consumption, and electricity bills.
- Lighting Design - our lighting design team have the knowledge and experience to provide grain processing & storage lighting schemes to meet SLL (CIBSE) requirements.
- Smart Controls - optional smart controls can provide further energy savings through integrated microwave sensors.
Please refer to our Food Production page for information relating to lighting grain processing and storage areas.
