Explore the Benefits of an LED Strip Light Fixture

As its name suggests, Industrial strip lighting is a linear light fixture typically characterized by its compact design. What sets an LED strip light fixture apart are these unique characteristics:

Selection of Strip Lighting Sizes

While some light fixtures come in a one-size-fits-most situation, there are several different strip lighting sizes. For example, compact (or "mini") industrial strip lights may be as short as 13.5 inches – the perfect size for tight spaces, beneath cabinets or other difficult-to-light areas. A standard four-footer would be adequate for small rooms needing less lumen output, while larger spaces requiring more power would benefit from an 8-foot fixture.

Suitable for Many Applications

Industrial LED lighting strips can be used in various locations throughout your building. The range of available sizes makes them suitable for several applications – such as walkways, hallways, aisles, bathrooms and more.

Multiple Mounting Options

Whether you're illuminating a storage unit or a car dealership, there are several options for LED strip lighting mounting:

Staggered: Stagger industrial strip lighting to fit more easily into tight areas while still providing an effective lighting solution.
Pendant-Mounted: Suspend your strip lighting from the ceiling using wires or chains.
Surface-Mounted/Wall-Mounted: The easiest method for installing strip lights is simply to attach them directly to the ceiling, wall or other surface.
Side-Mounted: Install side-mounted fixtures – which are slightly larger than mini lighting – on display case walls or in coves to conserve space.

Durable Housing

Made to be long-lasting in terms of both the lamp and the housing, strip lighting fixtures feature durable rungs at the top of the fixture as well as a powder-coated finish and sturdy metal housing.

Why an LED Strip Light Fixture Is Your Best Choice

Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology offers a blend of aesthetic appeal and practical illumination. LEDs have surpassed fluorescent tube lighting for several reasons:

High Efficiency: Strip lighting with an LED lamp produces a higher lumen output but consumes less power per unit of light emitted. LEDs are more energy-efficient than traditional lighting solutions, saving you money on monthly utilities.
Longevity: With lifespans ranging from 25,000 to 50,000 hours or more, industrial LED lighting strips provide several years of consistent quality illumination while reducing maintenance time and expense.
Eco-Friendly: LEDs produce less carbon dioxide than traditional types of lighting, making them a more environmentally-friendly choice.
Low-Heat Emission: Because it emits very little heat, LED strip lighting is safer to use, especially in enclosed or restricted spaces.
Durability: LEDs resist shock, vibration and extreme temperature changes, contributing to their long lifespan.
Quick Illumination: There's no flickering or waiting for lights to warm up. LED lights reach full brightness instantly when turned on.
Dimmability: Many LED lights are dimmable, allowing for adjustable brightness levels to suit different needs and moods.
Cost Savings: Although the initial cost of LED strip lighting fixtures may be higher, their long lifespan and energy efficiency often result in lower long-term costs.

Strip Lighting Is Everywhere You Look

Look up in just about any industrial or commercial setting; chances are, you'll see industrial strip lighting. It's favored for its ability to provide evenly distributed, uniform light. The flexibility in mounting options also means LED strip lighting fixtures adapt to a multitude of uses. These industrial fixtures are commonly found in various environments. Following are a few examples:

Workshops
Exhibition Spaces
Corridors
Production Areas
Retail Establishments
Classrooms
Car Dealerships
