There has been no shortage of advancement in lighting for industrial environments. Most notably, the development of LED technology has made major strides in helping manufacturers provide better-lit, safer working environments and reduce energy consumption in a world working toward minimizing its impact on the environment. Dialight has established itself as a leader in developing industrial lighting solutions. Energy efficiency and safety have been the focus of most industrial lighting innovations in recent years, and for good reason. Many argue that durability and reliability, two key requirements for industrial lighting solutions, have not received enough attention.
Industrial environments present unique challenges for electrical systems. These challenges range from extreme temperatures and corrosive conditions to heavy vibrations and power instability. As a result, environmental factors can significantly threaten the uptime and performance of lighting solutions.
Now, let’s explore how Dialight’s innovations in power supplies are helping manufacturers achieve greater reliability and durability in plant lighting.
Purpose-Built Power Supply Solutions
Many manufacturers optimize lighting power supplies solely for lumens per watt, prioritizing brightness and energy efficiency. The brighter a light shines with minimal electricity, the more valuable its quality becomes. But without considering the must-haves for longevity and performance, this singular focus can lead to routine failure and increased costs.
The true measure of a luminaire’s durability lies within its power supply, a critical component often overlooked. In industrial conditions, these environments can severely damage light fixtures, leading to fixture failure, which can plunge a worksite into total darkness and increase the risk of serious, preventable injury. Moreover, most industrial facilities demand more from power supplies than what off-the-shelf solutions are designed to handle.
Recognizing this gap, Dialight set out to develop purpose-built, custom power supply solutions specifically for LED lighting fixtures. These solutions are carefully tailored to withstand the harsh rigors of industrial applications, ensuring both durability and reliability in even the toughest conditions. Dialight’s power supplies provide a more robust solution compared to generic alternatives, enhancing safety and longevity in industrial lighting systems.
Dialight’s Technological Edge
Dialight’s custom power supplies are the company’s biggest technological differentiator, even though it’s well-known for LED technology innovations. Dialight’s commitment to continuous innovation and thorough testing enables it to offer safe, reliable, highly efficient, and long-life lighting products. Their custom power supplies use resonant power conversion topologies, reaching 94% efficiency and reducing thermal stress.
There are three major differentiators that set Dialight custom power supplies apart from off-the-shelf solutions:
- Premium Components: Built with high-temperature and high-voltage rated critical components.
- Enhanced Protection: Drivers are factory-built fully potted and sealed, further protecting vulnerable electronics.
- Surge Protection: Standard with 6kV, 3kA surge protection with the ability to further designate higher levels of safeguarding.
Dialight integrates power electronics into software platforms, offering new features, improved efficiency, longer lifespans, and reduced size and cost. All power supplies undergo rigorous in-house testing and third-party verification, both as individual components and within luminaires. Between the two, all Dialight power supplies go through a minimum of 70 types of tests, including accelerated life testing. All of this combines to create a power supply that is 100% guaranteed over Dialight’s10-year warranty period.
