Project Overview
Project demander
The German hardware processing factory and needed to create an efficient and professional integrated lighting system for the factory building and surrounding areas with a total area of approximately 5,000 square meters.
● Contractor: KML
With 14 years of experience and technological expertise in lighting manufacturing, KML provides a full range of services from lighting solution design to luminaire delivery.
● Project requirements
German hardware processing plants face diverse lighting requirements. Production and assembly areas require high-brightness, low-glare professional lighting; inspection areas require a comfortable and uniform lighting environment; and the factory facades and surrounding areas require architectural lighting to enhance the factory's image. Furthermore, the overall lighting system must comply with European CE certification and industrial lighting standards.
Project Benefits
● Energy efficiency improvement
KML LED lights achieve energy savings of over 52% by replacing traditional metal halide lamp solutions.
● Cost Optimization
LED lights are maintenance-free during the 5-year warranty period, which is expected to reduce replacement and maintenance costs by 3 times, saving a significant amount of repair costs.
● Compliance assurance:
The entire product line has obtained CE certification and has successfully passed German customs inspection.
Project key information
Consultation period: January 2018
Delivery date: May 30, 2018
● Products involved
KML provided a total of 3,700 lights to precisely meet the lighting needs of various functional areas of a German hardware processing plant, covering different power specifications to satisfy lighting requirements in multiple scenarios.
▼ KML-UFOH 100W, 200W high bay light
Suitable for factory lighting, featuring a circular design with hollowed-out heat sinks on both sides to ensure rapid heat dissipation and high brightness, totaling 3700 pieces.
Program communication and confirmation process
After initial communication with the German team, we prioritized the selection of lighting fixtures: the factory required low glare, high uniform illuminance, and flicker-free lighting to ensure the visual comfort and work safety of employees, all of which required a professionally customized solution.
Through DIALux lighting simulation design, the lighting effects of high bay lights of different wattages in various functional areas of the factory were demonstrated, and a preliminary "zoned customization" solution was determined: for example, considering the characteristics of dense personnel and concentrated line of sight in the production line area, it is planned to adopt a UFOH high bay light ceiling-mounted layout with lampshade, and DIALux simulation will ensure that the illuminance uniformity reaches more than 0.5.
After submitting the initial proposal draft, the client requested detailed adjustments: The UFOH high bay lingt in the production area require optimized glare control to enhance visual comfort during prolonged worker operations; the color temperature of lighting fixtures in storage and aisle areas must be adjusted from 6500K to 5000K to create a softer, more natural working environment. Leveraging our flexible customization service system, the technical team completed parameter optimization within 2 hours and reissued the optical simulation report. Each adjustment was accompanied by test data - for instance, the improved High Bay lingt underwent rigorous glare testing to ensure comfortable lighting and uniform illuminance, instilling strong confidence in the client regarding project implementation.
When finalizing the solution, we deeply customized every aspect - whether it was fine-tuning the installation angle of the UFOH mining lamp or optimizing the overall energy efficiency of the lighting system, we repeatedly considered it to truly fit the project.
Overall advantages of the solution
KML's customized lighting solutions for German hardware processing plants offer numerous advantages.
● Lighting quality
The high luminous efficacy of UFOH high bay light greatly meets the lighting needs of the factory and surrounding areas, with uniform brightness distribution and excellent glare control, creating a high-quality and comfortable visual environment for production and inspection operations.
● Durable and reliable
The luminaires are robustly constructed, and the UFOH high bay light has an IP65 protection rating, enabling it to withstand harsh industrial environments such as humidity and dust. Meanwhile, the luminaires for the factory perimeter and passageways are adaptable to a wide temperature range (-30 to +50°C), ensuring normal operation in harsh weather and environments, and providing illumination for workers' production operations.
● Energy-saving and efficient
Compared with traditional lighting solutions, LED lamps have high light output efficiency, save energy, reduce lighting costs, and comply with the concept of green building.
● Convenient operation and maintenance
Long life is one of the core advantages of LED lamps. For example, the UFOH high bay light boasts a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours and comes with a five-year warranty. This feature eliminates the need for frequent maintenance and replacement during daily use, significantly reducing both the manpower and material costs required for operation and maintenance.
● Delivery and installation
During the delivery period, quality control tracks the production progress in real time to ensure product quality; the packaging uses pearl cotton + hard outer box for double protection to ensure no damage during long-distance transportation.
At the project's inception, our technical team provided guidance to the German project team via video conferencing - for example, matching the installation location of the UFOH high bay light with the factory specifications, and we provided installation instructions in advance. This approach made what would normally be a complex cross-border installation process efficient and convenient.
Choosing KML's customization service not only ensures on-time delivery but also provides peace of mind with "precise matching" - from solution planning to lighting fixture manufacturing, every step is tailored to the client's needs.
The nighttime scene of a German hardware processing factory is being redefined by KML's professional lighting design solutions: UFOH high bay lights achieve uniform and synchronized brightness in the production and assembly areas, ensuring factory efficiency. We firmly believe that the core of quality lighting is "professional problem-solving" - from lighting layout to detailed adaptation, every step is meticulously crafted. This is both our service standard and KML's unwavering commitment for 14 years.
