Challenges in site lighting

01. Environmental and weather factors

Outdoor areas are constantly exposed to wind, precipitation, dust, large temperature variations and sometimes even chemical vapours. A good lighting system should therefore offer a high IP rating (for water and dust resistance) and a solid IK rating (for shock resistance). Moreover, UV radiation and corroding elements (e.g. in harbour areas) can shorten the lifetime of a luminaire if the material is not designed for this. Only robust, industrially developed LED solutions with the right coating and construction can perform for a long time in these changeable and often harsh outdoor situations.

02. Outdated technology vs innovation

Many sites still use conventional 1000W lamps (SON-T, HPI) or outdated LED luminaires with limited efficiency. These light sources have high energy consumption, require frequent maintenance and become increasingly difficult to replace as component production decreases. In contrast, modern LED technology delivers higher light output at lower wattage and has a much longer lifetime. This significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), while making lighting more reliable and future-proof.

03. Safety and productivity

Inadequate or uneven light distribution increases the risk of accidents and inefficient work processes, especially on extensive sites where vehicles, people and machines cross. When visibility is insufficient, fatigue and errors increase, negatively affecting not only safety but also productivity. Quality LED site lighting with proper lux and uniformity distribution minimises those risks. The result is a working environment where staff remain more alert, fewer incidents occur and the entire operation runs smoothly.

04. Regulations and guidelines

For many industrial sites, logistics terminals and (semi)public outdoor areas, there are legal requirements around minimum levels of lighting, as laid down in EN 12464-2 for outdoor areas. Health and safety regulations also state that workplace visibility must be sufficient to prevent accidents. Moreover, light nuisance towards local residents can impose restrictions, with, for instance, NSVV guidelines helping to find the balance between well-lit workplaces and respect for the environment. A solid LED solution that meets these standards prevents fines, unsafe situations and damage to reputation.

Why choose JEL

Our solution for site lighting

We understand that every site is unique and has specific lighting needs. Therefore, our high-quality LED surface-mounted luminaires are only applied after creating a suitable lighting design. Because good site lighting is only possible with customisation, and when you invest in your site lighting, you do so for the long term. A lighting solution must fit into this, including:

  • Different colour temperatures (Kelvin) and intensity (lux): Adaptable to the requirements of your premises and conformity with environmental and lighting directives such as EN12464-2: the European standard for the specific requirements for lighting outdoor workplaces and NSVV Directive Light Nuisance: which sets limits for light nuisance and light pollution.
  • Dimmable options: For precise control of light intensity.
 
190 lm/W net efficiency

Our DarkLicht luminaires are designed with maximum efficiency and lifetime in mind. Thanks to high build quality shared with other DCbright products, top-level components and the use of our innovative and patented reflector technology, we manage to achieve a net efficiency of 190 lm/W with our site lighting in addition to a lifetime of 196,000 hours (L80B10). This ensures that the lighting does not degrade and continues to perform consistently.

Jaap and Lucas in discussion on professional lighting advice

Custom light calculations

Site lighting is bespoke; as a serious business, you won't get away with simply hanging a luminaire. As an employer, you have a responsibility to provide sufficient, well-shielded work lighting for your premises. In this respect, we provide substantiated and well-considered advice. 

To ensure our transparency, we have joined the NSVV Code of Conduct as a company, which means we are committed to providing transparent and thoughtful solutions for the end user.

Collaboration with consultants and installation companies

We invite contractors and installers as well as end-users to collaborate with JEL Products. Our extensive experience and customised solutions make implementation easy and efficient. Whether you work directly within operations or are responsible for maintenance, we are ready to support you with expertise and high-quality products.

 

Benefits of Collaboration:
  • Direct communication: Fast and efficient project planning and implementation.
  • Technical support: Expert advice from our technical specialists.
  • Flexibility: Customised solutions that match your specific requirements and wishes. We go for a total solution.

Do you have a question?

Questions about site lighting?

We already have LED lighting, but are experiencing failure. What now?

Our latest luminaires are designed to be thermally and electrically stable. We can partially reuse your existing systems or completely replace them for a more reliable and efficient solution.

This varies per activity: logistics activities can be around 30-50 lux, while high-risk activities need 100 lux or more. We assess this with you according to (inter)national guidelines.

There are several regional and national schemes (such as EIA). We will be happy to help you identify opportunities to reduce your investment.

What about light pollution towards local residents?

Our luminaires can be configured with lenses or full-cutoff reflectors, minimising stray light. This helps with standards compliance around light pollution (e.g. NSVV).

Yes, we offer comprehensive support and advice throughout the process, from selection to installation and maintenance. Our team is ready to help you every step of the way.

Depending on operating hours and lamp output, a payback period of 2-4 years is often achievable. Combine this with subsidies or smart control and you save even faster.

Can we replace our old 1000W lamps one-to-one with new LEDs?

Usually yes. We suggest the right wattage, lens/reflector and mounting height so that you get the same or better light distribution at less wattage.

We show this in a concrete lighting design and energy calculation. There are also customer cases and test set-ups that demonstrate the real savings.

Yes, we can equip our luminaires with various types of LEDs depending on your requirements. We supply our lamps with dimmable functions and different colour temperatures as standard to meet your specific testing requirements.
