The most expensive lighting errors in an industrial new-build project almost always arise because lighting is not considered until very late in the project. Those who install lighting at the end of a project run the risk of making the wrong choice of luminaires, underestimating cabling costs and unnecessary modifications later on. This article answers the most frequently asked questions about lighting planning in industrial new-build projects, from timing and requirements to choosing luminaires and safety.<\/p>\n

Which lighting errors cost the most in an industrial new-build project?<\/h2>\n

The most costly lighting errors in an industrial new-build project are the late engagement of a lighting specialist, choosing fixtures based on purchase price instead of life cycle costs, and ignoring specific environmental requirements. These errors lead to re-installations, premature replacement of fixtures, and sometimes even downtime of production processes.<\/p>\n

In practice, we see that lighting is often treated as a finishing touch at the end of the construction phase. By that time, wiring routes are already fixed, mast positions can no longer be adjusted optimally, and the chosen luminaire still does not prove suitable for the actual conditions. That not only costs money, but also time.<\/p>\n
