In order to ensure optimal visibility and effective warning of hazards, LED beacon light need to be placed correctly in warehouses, factories and other facilities. Here are some essential considerations for achieving best light output and proper location.
1. Optimum choice for the most vibrant light
When considering strobe lights, the colors that stand out most are amber and clear. The brightest light is emitted by red, green, and white LED lights. It is important to ensure that the light is easily noticeable and serves its purpose well in warning people about any impending threats: hence the importance of selecting an appropriate hue.
2. Best Height to Mount
Place warning lights six to ten feet above ground level. When positioned at this height, the light is easily visible as it is at eye level or slightly above. Ensure that both the light and areas where individuals will be stationed or passing through have an unobstructed line of sight. If there are obstacles present, consider installing additional lights to adequately illuminate all necessary areas.
3. Best Orientation: Safety lights should be mounted upright for optimal visibility and light emission. Numerous LED and strobe lights do not have their top as the source of light, hence horizontal mounting might lead to blind spots. Correct orientation is essential in preventing these visibility issues; however, some models (such as DFS350 and DFS625) can emit light from the top upon removal of the label, which helps in improving coverage.
4. Correct Voltage:
Power systems in most US buildings is done using 120V AC electricity; although many also run a 24V DC battery reserve setup in case of outages. Make certain that if the warning lights are to be operational during these times, they are of the 24V type and hooked up to the backup power system.
5. How to Mount
Mounting LED beacon light is a straightforward task thanks to the wide range of mounting options available. These options include through-bolt permanent mounts and 1/2" pipe mounts for electrical conduit (NPT Pipe). This versatility allows for a secure and efficient installation process in various environments.
Taking into account these various factors will guarantee the installation of your LED beacon lights in a manner that maximizes visibility and effectiveness, ultimately enhancing the safety of your building.
