Lighting applications in the area of industry are manifold. These include production, assembly and process plants as well as warehouse and logistics areas, both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, there are laboratories and areas where research and development activities take place.

As an important part of the complete operational expenses are the costs for a lighting installation. Aspects such as energy efficiency, maintenance factors as well as service life must also be considered. Merely a simple lamp replacement can lead to high costs if the production process needs to be halted.

According to the application, the lighting installation must be able to bear extreme peripheral conditions. Typical examples are a high level of soiling, dust, damp, humidity, aggressive or explosive atmospheres and extremely high and low temperatures. These aspects are the basis for the protection rating and design of luminaires. In areas where a high level of cleanliness is essential, it is important that luminaires can be easily cleaned and do not have surfaces prone to soiling. For the lighting of industrial plants there exist extensive standards and the awareness of how to positively influence the well-being of people and their work productivity with the use of adequate lighting. High levels of lighting in task areas as well as bright vertical surfaces play an important role.
