Marine, Offshore & Industrial LED Lighting Solutions
With over a decade of experience and technical know-how, SOP (Save Our Planet) places emphasis in the design and development of ideal LED solutions- providing green and innovative energy efficient technologies and meeting demands of the harsh Marine environment at the same time. Missioned to “Save our Planet”, SOP is focused on creating innovative, reliable and quality lights to lead the Green Initiatives.
LED optimizes energy consumption as compared to conventional lighting, reduces maintenance through improved durability and allows great savings to one’s electricity consumption.
Selecting the right LED lighting for your applications remains a challenge for many owners, facilities managers or buyers. Most of the consumers are used to the traditional fluorescent lamps, incandescent bulbs or even the high intensity discharge lamps, available in fixed wattage with similar lumen output, similar lamp service life, standard lamp bases and similar conventional housing.
SOP pledges to deliver the highest-quality range of reliable LED lighting, allowing you to maximise your investment in operations and reducing your maintenance needed.
Be it a new vessel or an upgrade, “Going Green” is one of the ways you can amortize your investment within 1.5-2.5 years.
Lighting Requirements For Offshore Enviroments
Offshore environments represent one of the most challenging locations in which lighting fixtures are used. There are many different types of offshore applications which may require lighting. Let’s take a brief look at some common examples.
Oil and Gas – the applications that perhaps come to mind first when you think ‘offshore’ are likely to be those linked to the oil and gas industry. While there may be an increasing focus on renewable energy, global oil production amounts to around 90 million barrels per day and around 1/3 of that comes from offshore production. Ensuring a drilling rig or platform is well illuminated at all times is important to both the efficiency of operations and the safety of workers. Lighting used in offshore oil and gas applications will generally need to be certified for use in hazardous areas.
Maritime Vessels – any vessel used at sea will require some form of illumination on board. The type of lighting required will depend on the vessel and its operations, but for this article, we will focus on luminaires required for outdoor use where the conditions are most challenging.
