MAX-T LED HIGH MAST LIGHT 400W-1800W PORT AND TERMINAL BOR CRANE LED LIGHTING

Withstanding the Elements

Ports and terminals often represent an unforgiving environment for the lighting installed on-site. The conditions in some areas of a port will be very 

similar to what would be expected in offshore applications, and lighting must be specified accordingly. There are three major environmental issues 

that companies face when installing hardware for a port application;

Corrosion – exposure to sea spray and salty air means a greater risk of corrosion. The risk is greater in locations like docking areas, where exposure 

to sea spray is greater, but all areas around ports provide a higher risk of corrosion than inland applications. The hardware installed must therefore 

be specified to withstand these conditions. made with marine grade aluminium, stainless steel fixings and C5 Class to marine standards.

Extreme weather – with high wind and rain levels, extreme weather conditions at ports is a regular occurrence. A luminaire with a high IP&IK rating is 

essential to prevent water ingress which could damage internal components. While the majority of hazardous area fittings will be rated to 

at least IP65, we would recommend specifying to IP66 & IK09 for port applications.
