LED Lighting in High-Heat Environments: A Deeper Look at Performance and Reliability
Learn how excessive heat and environmental contaminants can affect LED lighting—and how Tactik designs smarter solutions for industrial settings.
LED lighting has transformed industrial facilities with its efficiency, longevity, and safety benefits—but extreme heat remains a major threat to fixture performance. In many high-heat environments, conventional LED systems degrade quickly, leading to reduced light output, premature failure, and higher maintenance costs.
Tactik Lighting’s latest white paper, The Effects of Heat on LED Lighting, explores the science behind how heat—and even environmental dust—can compromise your lighting system’s reliability. From lumen depreciation and color shift to total engine failure, this resource highlights real risks and smarter design approaches.
What’s inside the white paper:
-
The science of lumen depreciation and junction temperature (Tj)
-
How heat affects color consistency and visual accuracy
-
Causes and consequences of full LED engine failure
-
A deep dive into PCB materials, fixture design, and thermal management
-
The role of remote drivers in managing heat and reducing maintenance
-
Real-world design considerations for foundries, mills, and demanding environments
This comprehensive guide explains why metal-core PCBs, underdriven LED engines, remote drivers, and well-ventilated housings are essential for lighting systems to survive and thrive in tough conditions.
