Stamping For LED Lighting

Commercial lighting is a diverse and dynamic field that caters to a wide range of settings, each with its unique requirements for luminescence, focused light, and ambiance.

From office buildings and retail stores to restaurants and outdoor spaces, commercial lighting plays a crucial role in creating the right atmosphere, enhancing visibility, and promoting productivity.

Industrial and commercial spaces rely on commercial lighting to provide good environments for work, socializing, shopping, and other uses. Metal stamping plays a pivotal role in the manufacturing of commercial lighting fixtures, offering numerous benefits that contribute to the quality, efficiency, and aesthetic appeal of these essential products. From design flexibility to cost-effectiveness, metal stamping has become an integral part of the commercial lighting industry.

BE-CU Deep Drawing & Stamping Custom Commercial Lighting Products

Be-Cu stamping company has manufactured top-quality lighting and fins heatsink for over 30 years. We perform both metal stamping and deep drawing on materials ranging from brass, copper, stainless steel, and cold-rolled steel.

Do You Know Your Lux Level Requirement?

The lux level requirement refers to the amount of light intensity required for a specific task or activity in a given space. Lux (lx) is the measurement unit for illuminance, which is the amount of light that falls onto a surface. Understanding the lux level requirement is crucial in commercial lighting design to ensure that the lighting meets the needs of the space and its occupants.

Factors Influencing Lux Level Requirements

Type of Activity or Task:

General Office Work: Around 300 to 500 lux for basic office tasks.
Reading and Writing: 500 to 750 lux for more detailed tasks.
Precision Work (e.g., drafting, electronics): 750 to 1,000 lux or more.
Retail Display: 750 to 1,500 lux to highlight products and attract customers.
Art Gallery or Museum: 150 to 1,000 lux or higher, depending on the artwork and display requirements.

Space Function and Use:

Conference Rooms: 300 to 500 lux for presentations and discussions.
Retail Sales Floors: 500 to 1,500 lux depending on the type of products and ambiance.
Restaurant Dining Areas: 200 to 400 lux for a comfortable dining experience.
Outdoor Parking Areas: 10 to 20 lux for safety and security.

Occupancy and Activity Level:

High Occupancy Areas: Require higher lux levels to ensure adequate visibility and safety.
Low Occupancy Areas: Can have lower lux levels to conserve energy.

Regulatory and Safety Standards:

Building Codes and Standards: Some jurisdictions may have specific requirements for minimum lux levels in commercial spaces.
Occupational Health and Safety: Ensuring adequate lighting levels to prevent eye strain and promote well-being.

How to Determine Lux Level Requirement

Lighting Design Software: Use lighting design software to calculate the recommended lux levels based on the size, shape, and use of the space.
Lighting Standards and Guidelines: Refer to industry standards and guidelines such as the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations for specific types of spaces and activities.
Consult with Lighting Professionals: Work with lighting designers or consultants who can assess the space and recommend appropriate lux levels based on your specific requirements and goals.
Mockups and Testing: Conduct lighting mockups or tests to evaluate the actual light levels and make adjustments as needed before finalizing the lighting design.

Knowing your lux level requirement is essential for designing an effective and efficient commercial lighting system that meets the functional, aesthetic, and regulatory needs of the space. By considering factors such as the type of activity, space function, occupancy level, and industry standards, you can determine the appropriate lux levels to ensure optimal lighting quality and performance. Whether you’re planning a new lighting installation or upgrading an existing system, understanding and meeting the lux level requirements is crucial for creating a comfortable, safe, and productive environment for occupants.
