Discover our lighting solution

Proven solution for steel mills

Steel plants operate in extremely demanding environments with high temperatures, intense infrared radiation, dust, vibration and heavy machinery. These factors can significantly reduce the performance and lifetime of conventional and even standard LED lighting. This leads to reduced visibility, increased maintenance costs and potential safety risks.

JEL Products understands these challenges and offers specialised LED lighting solutions that perform reliably in the most extreme conditions within the steel industry. With a design life of 15 years and robust construction, our luminaires, such as the Orca and Barracuda floodlights, ideal for use in steelworks.

Why choose JEL

Advantages of our LED solution for steel mills

High temperature lighting optics in ORCA HT
BA-48 'Barracuda' HT High LED temperature lighting
01. Resistant to high temperatures and infrared radiation

Our luminaires, the 'OR156' Orca and 'BA48' Barracuda high-temperature floodlights, are specially designed to operate in the extreme temperatures and exposure to infrared radiation typical of steel mills. With a temperature resistance of up to +120ºC our luminaires continue to perform reliably where conventional lighting fails. This means less downtime and continuous, consistent lighting of your production facilities.

02. Resistance to dust and vibration

Steel production involves significant amounts of dust and strong vibrations from heavy machinery. Our fittings meet the highest IP ratings (IP66/IP67/IP69K) and possess a IK09 impact resistance, meaning they have excellent protection against penetration of dust and mechanical impact. The robust housing prevents dust particles from entering the luminaire, thus preserving performance and service life.

03. Long service life of 15 years

With a design life of 15 years (based on a lifetime of 100,000 hours with 70% light maintenance), our lighting solutions offer a sustainable investment. This results in less frequent replacements, lower maintenance costs and minimal downtime of your production processes. The consistent light output over the luminaire's lifetime ensures a stable and safe working environment.

04. Energy efficiency and cost savings

Our LED luminaires are extremely energy-efficient, with a lumen per watt efficiency like no other in the market: up to 230 lm/W. This leads to significant energy savings compared to conventional lighting. Lower energy costs directly contribute to reducing your operational expenses and help reduce your carbon footprint.

05. Improved safety and visibility

Good lighting is crucial for workplace safety and efficiency. Our luminaires deliver bright, consistent lighting that helps identify potential hazards and improve accuracy of operations. This is especially important in the steel industry, where machinery can be complex and potentially dangerous.

06. Easy installation and intergration

Thanks to the thoughtful design of the 'OR156' Orca and 'BA48' Barracuda floodlights, our luminaires can be easily installed even in challenging spaces within steel mills. Our customised driver boxes and cabinets are designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing infrastructure, improving installation conveniences and minimising downtime.

Together into one working solution

High-temperature lenses in combination with infrared reflective circuit board

Our luminaires very robust floodlights can also direct the light image to a targeted location using our high-temperature lenses which are specially designed for use in extreme environments. These lenses can withstand high temperatures, making them ideal for applications requiring long-distance illumination.

Advantages of high-temperature lenses:
  • Resistant to extreme heat: Made of heat-resistant materials that do not degrade when exposed to temperatures up to +120°C.
  • Optimal beam: The lenses are designed to provide a narrow beam angle, allowing light to be directed over longer distances without significant light scattering.
  • Improved safety: By providing effective long-range illumination, these lenses improve visibility in critical areas, contributing to workplace safety.
  • Flexibility in installation: Suitable for situations where luminaires cannot be placed close to the area to be illuminated, e.g. due to physical obstacles or safety zones.
 
Benefits of infrared resistance:
  • Radiant heat: in addition to high ambient temperature, radiant heat (infrared) contributes to the heating of a luminaire housing. Using our specially treated circuit board, we provide the reflection of infrared radiation on the luminaire to cool it down.
  • Flexibility in installation: Suitable for situations where luminaires need to be placed close to glowing objects.

This is how to use our HT Lenses

Applications:
  • High-rise fixtures: Lighting from high ceilings or structures to illuminate large floor areas.
  • Crane lighting: Lighting installed on cranes to effectively illuminate working areas on the ground.
  • Security lighting: Targeted lighting for long-distance surveillance purposes.
  • Specific areas of work: Lighting of specific points or machinery not directly accessible to nearby luminaires.
 
Technical Specifications:
  • Material: High-quality heat-resistant glass optics or special polymers.
  • Radiation angles: Available in narrow degrees like 20°, 40°, 60°, for directional light beams.
  • Compatibility: Designed to integrate with our Orca and Barracuda fixtures.
  • Temperature resistance: Functional at ambient temperatures up to +120°C without loss of optical clarity.
 
Technical advice?

Our team of experts is ready to advise you on the best lens options for your specific needs. By taking into account factors such as installation height, distance to the area to be illuminated and environmental conditions, we can provide a customised solution that is both effective and durable.

  • Direct communication: Fast and efficient project planning and implementation.
  • Technical support: Expert advice from our technical specialists.
  • Flexibility: Customised solutions to suit your specific requirements and needs.

Custom-made control cabinets

We understand that installing driver components in steel mills can be challenging due to high temperatures and limited space. That is why we offer customised driver boxes and driver enclosures that provide power and control to luminaires safely and reliably. Our driver boxes are designed to operate in the harshest conditions of the steel industry, including exposure to infrared radiation and electromagnetic interference.

Mounting options:

  • Simplified assembly: Mounting of all drivers and controls in a central cabinet per zone mounted in an easily accessible location. Standard IP67 protection by an industrial enclosure resistant to heat, dust and thermal radiation.
  • Separate placement: Installation of the drivers is always in cooler areas for reasons of longevity, connected via our heat-resistant cabling.
  • Adaptation to installation: Flexible solutions to suit your specific needs and infrastructure.
