#construction light

Construction lights are extremely essential to illuminate the roads and working areas found in the locality of construction sites. It allows workers to continue working despite the shortage of daylight during night-time or is when the daylight available isn't sufficient to illuminate their working area.

When it comes to construction lighting, it's also important to determine the required intensity and kind of lighting based on the current state of various processes and work on construction.

The following are the various requirements required from safe construction lighting.

Intensity

Depending on a specific work area on the site, lighting equipment should be able to provide illumination so construction will be easily done using the provided lights. due to various activities being undertaken in different areas of work, each of them has its own specific needs. Activities like surface and underground construction require medium light while rough installation work requires either standard illumination.

Choice of Lamps

The use of frequent lights in all working areas of construction depends on the type of lamps. It should also be borne in mind that cleaning and maintenance of the surface of the lamp is manageable and it should be present on every occasion as the impurities left on the lamp reduce the amount of light.

Preferences should be focused on lamps that have a good radiation band and at least conform to the IP23 standard.

Arrangement of lamps

Lamps should be arranged so they're constantly away from illumination. They should be deployed in a higher place so that it provides the overall illumination of the work area. The arrangement of lamps should also provide the advantage of being able to use several lamps with low power. If lamps are placed in a strategic position, they ought to be able to illuminate the danger areas to avoid any accidents. Lamps should even be deployed in places that protect workers from being blind.

Special zone 

The lights provided by the lights should be able to reduce the risk of accidents, especially within the danger areas. Examples of dangerous areas are vehicles and pedestrians; rocks; areas with small spaces; it's better to use different light colors in different danger areas etc.

Another illumination required in relation to the danger zone, the presence of emergency lighting devices that shut down at least 1 lux, should break the traditional source of sunshine.
