While metal halide has long been the standard in factory lighting for high ceilings, LED has caught up and passed it by being more efficient, longer lasting, and it generating lower heat output. Best of all, LED saves money on utilities and maintenance costs, as well as having an overall longer lifespan.
Manufacturing facilities usually have a lot of dirt, dust, heat, vibration and moisture. The Appleton IHC features an Epoxy Powder Coating, along with stainless steel hardware, for superior corrosion protection. Silicone gaskets seal out water or dust particles from sensitive electronics. Plus, built-in 8KV surge suppression absorbs transient surges that would damage standard fixtures.
Appleton IHC LED luminaires are ideal for retrofitting outdated, inefficient HID fixtures in high temperature applications. Energy consumption savings up to 60 percent can be realized by retrofitting, plus the Appleton IHC will eliminate the need for the frequent relamping, maintenance or replacement that HID fixtures require.
