Product Review
While industrial lighting was once thought of as either big, bulky fixtures that offered a smaller scope of illumination or as a lighting solution that was almost overpowering for the location, they are now available in smaller options. With our newer industrial T5 and T8 strip lighting options, you can light a variety of space sizes with effective lighting.
Strip lighting is thinner and longer than most common industrial lighting options. This unique design makes it ideal for spaces in narrow locations, but it can also be used for larger spaces when used in pairs and evenly spaced in the ceiling. Our selection of industrial T5 and T8 strip lighting options utilize a range of ballast covers. One option is an emergency ballast that has a battery backup that will help in case of power outages. This means that in the event of a power shortage, the fixture will kick on backup lamps that will run for up to 90 minutes which is a great feature to have in industrial settings. We also have ballast covers that are in mirrored material that will help with the deflection of light downwards, as well as white reflectors that will help with this aspect. While the mirror option gives the best deflection with a rate of 90%, the white reflector option will give 87% which is still impressive in terms of this type of lighting. These reliable fixtures are made with an aluminum body that is powered coated for added durability. They are a sturdy fixture that will last for many years. They can be used with either T5 or T8 which gives you even more options in terms of lighting solutions. They are easy to install and come preconfigured for an easy addition to your location. They are tightened down by quarter turns to keep the reflector in place.
You can install these fixtures in a variety of mounting options, but they work well in either a suspended style or a recessed for the best lighting distribution. There is no uplight to these fixtures so the lumen output is all shot down which is great for industrial settings. To get a closer look at this reliable solution, check out our video here.
