Horticutral Lighting
The port crane is a piece of machinery with a long history that plays an important role in ports and terminals worldwide. Port crane lighting has also experienced the development process from traditional lighting to electric lighting to modern LED and intelligent lighting control. With the continuous advancement of technology, port crane lighting has become safer, more efficient, and more intelligent.
Considerations for port crane lighting
Port crane lighting has the following factors that must be considered:
Lighting Intensity
Ensure that the lighting intensity is sufficient to provide a bright working environment. Adequate lighting allows operators to see the work area and cargo clearly, reducing the risk of errors and accidents.
Coverage Area
The lighting system should cover the entire crane operating area, including the working area around the crane, cargo storage area, and operational zones on the ships. Ensuring wide and uniform lighting coverage helps eliminate shadows and blind spots.
CCT & CRI
Selecting appropriate color temperature and color rendering helps improve visibility and create a comfortable working environment. Higher color temperature provides clearer visual effects, while warmer color temperature creates a more comfortable working environment. Additionally, ensuring accurate color rendering helps operators correctly identify and handle cargo.
Protection Level
Due to the potentially wet, corrosive, or dusty conditions in harbor environments, lighting fixtures should have appropriate protection levels and anti-corrosion ability to ensure their normal operation and long-term use.
Lighting Stability
The lighting system for harbor cranes should have good stability to prevent flickering or trembling light. Stable lighting provides continuous and uniform illumination, avoiding visual fatigue and disruption for operators.
Operability
The lighting system should be easy to operate and maintain. Convenient switches, dimming, and maintenance features help operators better control and manage the lighting.
Good lighting on port cranes is crucial to increase productivity and safety. Additionally, it’s best to keep maintenance to a minimum. Port cranes operate in harsh environments, such as salty air and harsh weather conditions, generating various vibrations and G-forces. Therefore, lighting equipment must meet high standards.
