Overview
This version of the Tunnel LED features an emergency power pack which allows the unit to continue to run for over 2 hours in the event of a power outage.
Unsurpassed reliability meets unrivalled engineering and design excellence with Coolon's TunnelLED Luminaire
Specifically designed to withstand the most heavily vibrating environments, and most extreme industrial conditions, the TunnelLED Luminaire boasts optimum failsafe redundancy and delivers a level of CRI emitted light high enough to emulate natural daylight conditions in a stable and flicker free solution, free of dangerous stroboscopic effects.
Designed as lighting luminaries for industrial walkways, tunnels and passageways, the TunnelLED Luminaire is the ideal replacement for conventional gas discharge lighting technologies, and leaves conventional lighting solutions far behind.
Product Benefits
Cool Operating Surface Temperature -show/hide
There is no doubt that gas discharge lamps are very efficient light sources. Some of them are even more efficient than the currently available production LEDs. However in industrial environments with smoke, exhaust, dust and moisture, a substantial amount of dirt is deposited onto the luminaire. Because of the high temperature of the exposed glass (typically about 200 degrees C), these deposits bake onto the glass surface and are often impossible to remove, even with a high pressure water jet. The light output is thus substantially reduced, thereby making overall efficiency much lower. This is most commonly noticeable on mining sites.
LED fittings such as Tunnel LED have a much lower surface temperature (up to 65 degrees C typically, during operation). The lower surface temperature prevents dirt baking onto the surface, and allows LED Luminaires to be washed while operating. This lower temperature also makes an LED Luminaire a much safer device, especially in an environment where there is danger of an explosion caused by ignition or heat.
High Colour Rendering -show/hide
Today's commercially available LEDs offer a very high colour rendering index (typical CRI of between 75 – 80), enabling excellent colour differentiation. This sets a very high standard for most commonly used industrial luminaires.
Daylight Colours -show/hide
Emitted light spectrum provides natural and familiar colours as seen during the day.
No Flickering -show/hide
Tunnel LED luminaires run on low voltage DC power and do not produce any visible stroboscopic effects, thus reducing the strain on eyes and significantly improving safety in areas where moving machinery is present.
Low Susceptabilty to Vibration -show/hide
A typically critical issue affecting the life and operation of most common gas discharge lamp based light sources is mechanical shock and vibration, common to many industrial installations. Being a solid state device, LEDs are capable of withstanding vibrations of much greater intensity than most lamps.
Environmentally Friendly -show/hide
The Tunnel LED does not contain mercury. After reaching its potential useful life, up to 97% of the volume of Tunnel LED luminaire could be reused (refurbished) by replacing the electronic Printed Circuit boards only.
Low Voltage Operation -show/hide
High Power LED Luminaires operate from a low voltage power supply, which is substantially safer then 240VAC powered light sources.
Instant Power ON (Instant Restrike) -show/hide
Another very important factor in favour of High Power LED Luminaire is the instant ON capability. While gas discharge lamps generally require substantial time to warm up or even longer to restart after a power failure or a glitch, the High Power LED Luminaire will start instantly, at full brightness, every time. The need for backup lighting or installation of costly hot restrike gas discharge lamps is thus eliminated.
Redundancy Array -show/hide
The Tunnel LED LED Luminaire contains multiple high quality, high power LED light sources.
Even in the unlikely event of a single LED failure, the effect on the operation of the entire Luminaire is minimal. Multiple failures are even less probable events. This is a substantial advantage over a potential complete failure of a single lamp based product.
Unrestricted Burning Positions -show/hide
While many conventional lamps involve complex chemical reactions to sustain the burning process, they are required to be placed in a specific position to achieve the specified performance during operation. This means that these lamps are strictly limited to the position that they have been designed for. The Tunnel LED Luminaire does not have any restrictions on its position or oritentation and can be turned in any desired way without affecting the lifespan of the product.
Lifespan -show/hide
Currently available specification from world's most reputable LED manufacturers states 50,000 hours of continuous operation at the rated current within the operating temperature range to 70% residual light output.
A Cost Effective Investment -show/hide
As with all new technology, High Power LED Luminaires have a higher initial cost compared to the Gas Discharge lamp based luminaires. However, over the period of 1.5-2 years, the overall operating cost including maintenance, work interruptions and often the need for installation of additional light sources due to insufficient lighting, could match or exceed the initial cost of High Power LED Luminaires, therefore making the Luminaires a cost effective investment.
