    Bright, Even Lighting Where You Need It Most

    Operators need bright illumination in workstations to accurately and efficiently complete tasks. Workstation and area lighting solutions from Banner Engineering provide bright LED illumination and feature intensity control options that allow operators to adjust light level and switch the light off when they are done.

    The bright, even light output with no hot spots increases worker productivity and ergonomics and provides illumination exactly where needed. In addition, our high performance LED lights provide years of maintenance-free operation, with no bulb or ballast changes required throughout the lifespan of the device

    Challenges of Workstation and Area Lighting

    Proper Lighting Improves Quality and Productivity

    Workstations and other work areas often have structures around them--such as shelving or hard guarding--that obstruct overhead lights and result in a dim workspace.

    Even without obstructions, overhead lighting is often insufficient to illuminate detailed tasks and processes.  Lack of proper lighting can increase the risk of operator error, as well as lead to eye strain and operator fatigue, which reduce quality and productivity.

    Installing bright LED lights at a workspace can help achieve the right amount of concentrated light to complete tasks quickly and accurately while improving worker ergonomics and comfort.

    Adjust Illumination to the Task and Worker

    Operators need bright, even illumination to accurately and efficiently complete tasks, such as inspections and assembly.  Each task and operator require different levels of light. 

    The table shows recommended lux levels for different applications and ages of workers. Use a lux meter to determine lux levels to help ensure your illumination levels are sufficient for the space, task, and people.  

    Application Lux Ages 25-65  Lux Ages 65+
    Warehouse 100 200
    Work area 150 300
    General assembly 1,000 2,000
    Detailed assembly 2,000 4,000
    Fine inspection 5,000 10,000

    Illuminate Large Areas with Fewer Devices

    • Getting consistent lighting across a large area can be challenging with traditional fluorescent lighting.
    • To light up a large warehouse or similar area, a bright LED lighting can provide an efficient, low-maintenance solution.
    • The heavy-duty, energy-saving WLB92 from Banner Engineering provides an exceptionally bright lighting solution that provides consistent lighting across a warehouse.
    • Since the WLB92 is so bright and gives a uniform output, fewer lights are needed in total, helping reduce the overall cost of lights and installation time.

    Photosensitive Applications

    Safely Illuminate Photosensitive Processes

    • Some applications are photosensitive, which means that white light can damage materials in the process.  Colored light can be used to illuminate these applications without damage.
    • For example, photolithography involves transferring a pattern from a mask to a substrate using a photosensitive polymer known as a photoresist. An undeveloped photoresist is sensitive to white light, especially blue wavelengths (400 nm) emitted from fluorescent bulbs and specific LEDs. 
    • When the color is achieved with phosphor-converted LEDs, the yellow light can also be problematic. Phosphor-converted LEDs produce the color by coating blue LEDs with phosphor coating and therefore still emit a percentage of blue wavelengths.
    • However, the WLS15 amber models are safe for photosensitive applications because they are composed of non-phosphor converted LEDs (AlInGaP). These LEDs have a spectral output >560 nm and a blue wavelength content of <0.35%.
