LED Lighting for Chemical Plant Facilities

Chemical plant facilities need lighting fixtures that will operate in potentially corrosive areas, extreme temperatures, and locations that contain explosive gas. Customized LED lighting can withstand the hazardous environments of a chemical plant, all while providing energy-saving efficiency. LEDs can also be adapted for use with emergency systems, control panels, and general indoor or outdoor applications.

With the ever-advancing technology and benefits of LED lighting, now is the time to abandon outdated forms of lighting. Allow Martek to bring your chemical plant up-to-date with customized LED products. Our company has access to over 3.5 million LED lights and replacement parts, and our team of lighting experts is prepared to provide you with the perfect solution for your lighting needs.

Don’t use your valuable time searching for LED products that may not suit your needs. Instead, let us do the heavy lifting. All you need to do is describe your project, and we will make appropriate recommendations for your facility. For a free evaluation, call us at (856) 427-9411, or contact us online.

Benefits of LED Lights for Chemical Plants

By the year 2030, the Department of Energy (DOE) predicts that LED lighting could conserve 190 terawatt-hours of electricity per year: an astounding $15 billion. And with ever-changing regulations from agencies like the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), now is the ideal time for chemical plants to start converting from traditional light sources.

Chemical plants require lighting that can weather the hazardous conditions in a chemical plant. LED lighting is capable of handling this task. Fluorescent lamps and other conventional lights suffer from a reduction of luminous flux because of low temperatures, meaning their light intensity is decreased. LEDs do not have this problem. As operating temperatures drop, LED performance begins to increase. According to the DOE, an LED refrigerated case light has potential to measure 5% higher efficacy at 23 degrees Fahrenheit compared to operation at 77 degrees. LED lights can also be customized to operate at very high temperatures.

Without needing filaments or glass enclosures, LED lights also have high durability against vibration, breakage, and various other impacts. By comparison, conventional lighting usually requires a glass or quartz exterior that is highly susceptible to breakage or vibrations. LEDs can be built to endure the corrosive and potentially explosive activity present in chemical plants because they do not use glass and are mainly vulnerable to direct impact.

One of the most useful functions for industrial plants is the ability to control LED lights in various ways, such as:

  • Setting timers when LEDs turn on or off
  • Dimming LEDs in some areas of a plant or increasing light in other areas
  • Setting specific colors for LEDs
  • Pointing LEDs at specific areas that require lighting

Because of these capabilities and the fact that some LED products can last up to 100,000 hours, the choice between conventional lighting and LEDs is simple.

Martek is aware of the heavy regulations managers of chemical plants have to face, and we are here to help your facility operate at an optimal rate. We’ve been in the business of industrial lighting for decades, and take pride in knowing what product will best fit your needs.

Tell Us a Little About Your Lighting Needs:



    Our Clients are saying...
    “I take care of one of the major bridges between NJ and NY; the last thing I need to be worrying about is changing light bulbs.  Someone came to my site, assessed my application and quickly made a recommendation.  The product was delivered within that same business week and saved me thousands of dollars in maintenance costs!”
    “We are a distributor to the Texas Roadhouse restaurant chains and Martek was able to manufacturer the perfect LED to meet our specific dimming and color temperature needs.  They made the process extremely easy and have been a pleasure to work with.”
    “I have had a relationship with Martek for over 20 years.  As an electrical distributor, they are always available to help me in quoting the proper LED for my customers’ needs.  They ask the right questions and explain the differences in brands and give me the freedom to choose.”
    “Martek came to my site and did a complete lighting assessment of areas that could benefit from LEDs.  They were honest about which areas we should focus on and followed up with specific product recommendations.  We have replaced the old fluorescent bulbs with LEDs and not only is our facility brighter and we are saving money, but my maintenance team is no longer spending hours replacing bulbs every week.  Thank you Martek!”
    “We have hundreds of indicator bulbs within our electrical sub-station.  I called Martek and sent them a picture of the bulbs we were constantly replacing.  They were able to ship me the proper LED replacement that same day and now we have a product that lasts 100,000 hours instead of only 1,000 hours.”
    "We needed to have Safety Coated bulbs at our restaurant ASAP (in order to pass a health inspection), and Martek made that happen.  I highly recommend them for their Safety Coating services!"
