Lighting the Path to a Greener Future: Harnessing the Potential of Industrial LED Solutions

In a world where climate change is no longer a looming threat but an urgent reality, industries across the globe are searching for innovative ways to reduce their environmental footprint.

One area that holds tremendous potential is industrial lighting, in particular the power of LED solutions, which enables industry to significantly reduce energy consumption, lower their carbon footprint, and enjoy substantial cost savings long term.

LED lights are incredibly energy efficient. Compared with traditional lighting options, LEDs consume significantly less electricity to produce the same amount of light, and with far less energy being converted to heat. This not only reduces the risk of accidents or fire hazards, but also helps to lower air conditioning costs in industrial spaces.

Not all LED lights are created equally though, as sustainability does not start and end with performance.

At Dialight, a comprehensive approach has been taken to ensure reliability with minimal impact at all stages of the product lifecycle. Every aspect, from material science and supply chain to product assembly and end of life, has been noted and assessed.

Dialight is also one of the only industrial LED lighting companies certifying products with independently verified Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), identifying the carbon footprint of materials used in every product and allowing businesses to make informed decisions about their lighting choices.

Beyond energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, EPDs consider other aspects of a product's lifecycle, such as material sourcing, manufacturing processes, and end-of-life disposal. As increased regulation on Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions come into play globally in the transition to net zero, EPDs will become critical for customers to support their carbon goals.

Dialight APAC Managing Director, Malcolm Lee , says that centring sustainability for Dialight products helps inform the material choices for the next generation of products.

“We know our customers need alternatives to high-energy lighting as the world decarbonises, which is why Dialight continues to innovate.”

Products like Dialight’s LED High Bay offer low-carbon solutions to help the industry work towards reducing electricity costs and carbon emissions and are backed by Dialight’s 10-year warranty.

By adopting industrial LED solutions, large industries like the mining and oil and gas sectors have the power to lead the way to not only make a positive impact on the environment and costs, but to also set the standard for global industry.
