5 reasons LED lighting is safer than HPS for cold storage facilities
Industrial LED lighting fixtures is said to be a much safer, longer-lasting, more efficient and more economical alternative to HPS lighting, especially in cold storage applications.
Conventional high-pressure sodium (HPS) lighting is a mainstay in industrial facilities, used in over 90% of U.S. industrial applications, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, Washington, D.C., including cold food storage, despite its lackluster performance in refrigerator and freezer applications. In addition to its slow startup, excessive heat production that results in problematic condensation and poor light quality, HPS lighting also poses a significant safety risk to both workers and consumers.
Switching from antiquated HPS to modern LED lighting can dramatically reduce the risk of accidents, provide a safer working environment and lower the long-term liability costs of exposing workers and consumers to hazardous materials.
