Luminaire performance in extreme industrial environments, such as 80°C ambient temperatures, presents a range of tough challenges namely reduced efficacy and reduced longevity. It is well known that heat and electrical components are incompatible.
The challenge of finding a reliable long lasting lighting solution for extreme ambient temperatures is difficult. Effective lighting in hot environments presents conflicting challenges for electrical components, lamp efficacy and structural components. High ambient operating temperatures make the ballast prone to overheating causing it to ‘cycle’ on and off, cutting out once it has overheated and restriking the lamp when it has cooled sufficiently. As the cycling continues it will lead to premature failure of the luminaire’s ballast.
The Solution
The Pauli 1 HT from EYE Lighting is a High Temperature specialist luminaire for extremely demanding environments up to +80°C (up to +100°C with remote gear). It delivers a reliable long lasting solution in hot demanding environments where most other luminaires have little to no life expectancy.
