Why choose JEL

Challenges in terrain lighting

01. Environmental Factors and Weather Influences

Outdoor areas are constantly exposed to wind, precipitation, dust, significant temperature differences, and sometimes even chemical vapors. Therefore, a good lighting system must offer a high IP rating (for water and dust tightness) and a robust IK rating (for shock resistance). Additionally, UV radiation and corrosive elements (e.g., in port areas) can shorten the lifespan of a luminaire if the material is not designed for them. Only robust, industrially developed LED solutions with the appropriate coating and construction can perform reliably in these variable and often harsh outdoor situations.

02. Outdated Technology vs. Innovation

Many sports fields still use conventional 1000W lamps (SON-T, HPI) or outdated LED fixtures with limited efficiency. These light sources have high energy consumption, require frequent maintenance, and are becoming increasingly difficult to replace as parts production declines. Modern LED technology, on the other hand, offers higher light output at lower wattages and has a much longer lifespan. This significantly reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) while making the 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 in expansive areas where vehicles, people, and machinery intersect. When visibility is insufficient, fatigue and errors increase, negatively impacting not only safety but also productivity. High-quality LED area lighting with proper lux and uniformity distribution minimizes these risks. The result is a work environment where personnel 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 regarding minimum lighting levels, as stipulated in EN 12464-2 for outdoor areas. Occupational safety regulations also state that visibility in the workplace must be sufficient to prevent accidents. Furthermore, light nuisance towards nearby residents can impose restrictions, with NSVV guidelines, for example, helping to strike a balance between well-lit workplaces and respect for the environment. A robust LED solution that meets these standards prevents fines, unsafe situations, and reputational damage.

Why choose JEL

Our solution for terminal lighting

We understand that every site is unique and has specific lighting needs. That's why our high-quality LED floodlights are only installed after a suitable lighting design has been created. Because good site lighting is only possible with customization, and when you invest in your site lighting, you are doing so for the long term. A lighting solution must fit into this, including:

  • Different color temperatures (Kelvin) and intensities (lux): Adaptable to the requirements of your site and compliant with environmental and lighting guidelines such as EN12464-2: the European standard for specific requirements for lighting outdoor workplaces and NSVV Guideline Light Nuisance: which sets limits on light nuisance and light pollution.
  • Dimmable options: For precise control over light intensity.
 
172 lm/W net efficiency

Our DarkLicht fixtures are designed with maximum efficiency and lifespan in mind. Thanks to the high build quality shared with other DCbright products, top-tier components, and the use of our innovative and patented reflector technology, we achieve a lifespan of >200,000 hours and a net efficiency of 172 lm/W with our area lighting. This ensures that the lighting does not degrade and continues to perform consistently.

3D light calculation for terminal lighting

Custom lighting calculations

Site lighting is custom work. As a serious company, you can't get away with simply hanging a fixture. As an employer, you have a responsibility to provide sufficient, well-shielded work lighting for your grounds. We provide well-founded and thoughtful advice in this regard. 

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

Reference Projects

DFDS - Terminal lighting

For DFDS, we modernized the terminal lighting in two phases, with first a new installation in 2021 and later a full LED upgrade in 2023. The installation at the terminal was deployed to reduce energy consumption and improve visibility and safety on site. The project required phased implementation by expanding the terminal without disrupting operational terminal operations. The result is a future-proof lighting installation for continuous operation.

P&O Ferries - Terminal Lighting

For P&O Ferries, we upgraded the entire grounds lighting system at the ferry terminal in Europoort. A previous LED installation using sports-style fixtures did not meet the port’s requirements, so JEL designed and delivered a new solution tailored to the environment, featuring highly directional DarkLicht fixtures mounted on 30 new mast structures. Thanks to better beam control and reduced light spill, more usable light was provided on the grounds, with approximately 66% less energy consumption. The entire project, including the mast structures, was completed in just two weeks at a terminal that remained fully operational throughout.

BUSS Terminal — Terminal Lighting

For BUSS Terminal, we realized a complete lighting system for a large-scale transshipment site. The project included engineering, infrastructure and installation of high masts up to 50 meters. The installation was realized for 24/7 operations in a demanding port environment with a focus on reliability and light quality. From design to realization, we delivered a fully integrated solution.

Do you have a question?

Questions about terminal lighting?

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

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

This varies per activity: logistical activities can be around 30–50 lux, while riskier tasks require 100 lux or more. We will assess this with you according to (inter)national guidelines.

There are various regional and national schemes (such as EIA). We would be happy to help you map out the possibilities to reduce your investment.

What about light pollution for local residents?

Our fixtures can be configured with lenses or full-cutoff reflectors, which minimizes light pollution. This helps with compliance regarding light nuisance (e.g., NSVV).

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

Depending on usage hours and lamp power, a payback period of 2-4 years is often achievable. Combine this with subsidies or smart controls and you'll save even faster.

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

Usually yes. We suggest the correct power, lens/reflector, and mounting height, so you get the same or better light distribution at lower wattage.

We demonstrate this in a concrete lighting design and energy calculation. There are also customer cases and test setups that show the actual savings.

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