Areas Exposed to Harmful Gases

The use of LED luminaires in industry is now largely standard. However, LED luminaires cannot simply be installed anywhere without consideration. Gases and vapours that can damage LEDs are present in many industrial environments, including paper mills, galvanising plants and waste incineration facilities. Even in animal husbandry, exposure can occur, particularly due to ammonia in livestock housing. Depending on the concentration, ambient temperature and duration of exposure to the harmful gases, significant reductions in luminous flux, considerably shortened service lives and damage leading to complete failure may occur.

SCHUCH offers specially designed light fittings with increased or high protection against harmful gases for these demanding applications. The use of resistant materials and constructive protective measures reliably shields sensitive components and significantly increases operational reliability. The result is durable, robust and cost-effective lighting solutions for the most demanding environmental conditions.
