Let’s Shed Light On Advancements In Industrial LED And Future Trends

Thanks to industrial LEDs, we have an energy-efficient and low-maintenance solution to use in harsh industrial environments. The drawbacks of traditional lighting such as high energy use have overcome by industrial LED lighting and saved thousands of dollars every year in electrical costs.

The global industrial LED had become a $5.57 billion market in 2018, and is projected to touch $20.16 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 16.8% from 2019 to 2026, according to Allied Market Research. That’s because, the increased demand for cost-effective & energy-saving LED lighting, surge in need to replace traditional lighting system, and government initiatives toward adoption of LED. What’s more, the return of invest in industrial LED lighting is quite high due to reduce need for maintenance, which, in turn, result in a bottom-line saving. Apart from cost-efficiency, the increased adoption of industrial LED lightings is due to its sustainability and production efficiency. This boosts the overall performance of the facility.

What will be the future of industrial LEDs?

The future of industrial lighting–without a doubt–belongs to LEDs. Considering the technological advancements in light output, color options, optics, and energy, the efficiency LED technology would be the sole ruler in the coming years. Moreover, it would lead toward a more sustainable and smart future. Here are the major trends that we are likely to see in the future:

• Sustainable fixture

The industrial LED fixtures would become more efficient and would help in reducing the emission of harmful gases and overall pollution. Currently, more than 144 million industrial lighting fixtures are being used in more than 455,000 facilities in the U.S. and these LED fixtures together help cut down carbon emission by around 28 million metric tons.

The advancements in technology would help to make LED more efficient and sustainable, which would reduce pollutants and make the little blue planet more livable.

• Enhancements in energy efficiency

Currently, the industrial LED lightings are at least 70% more efficient than traditional alternatives such as HPS and other HID systems. Moreover, further advancements in LED design would bring improvements in heat management and power supplies.

• Industrial LEDs to become smarter

Given the instant-on capability of LEDs, they are a perfect solution for integrating smart sensors in industries. The sensors that could minimize energy would be ideal for such integration. The movement detecting sensors that turn lights upon movement in the area or daylight harvesting controls that enable adjust the light output to compensate for natural light would be the next big thing in the industries. This would eliminate the need to keep lights on 24x7 and avoid warm up time. Because of enhanced efficiency and cost-saving, more and more industries would adopt LEDs in their industries.

Illumination would always remain the primary function of any industrial lighting system. However, LED technology offers much more than illumination and unlike traditional systems, there is an unlimited scope of improvements in the industrial LED sector. What’s more, industrial LED systems can actually help increase the bottom line of a business and would become the norm down the road.
