Gas Station Lighting Design Points

1. Brief introduction

The gas station is only a hundred years old and has undergone the development process from a gas station to a service station, and the service function has changed from simple refueling to a commercialized state with a variety of services.

Therefore, the quality of its lighting has also developed from industrial lighting to commercial lighting, with increasingly high requirements.

A scientific and reasonable lighting system will significantly improve the service quality of gas stations, and the gas station canopy lighting system is a key factor in ensuring the service quality of gas stations:

(1) Good canopy lighting can make nighttime business efficient and convenient.

(2) The reasonable design of canopy lighting can effectively reduce glare.

(3) Canopy lighting design can increase the modern sense of gas stations.

However, in the actual application and installation of gas station canopy lighting process, there are generally not enough beautiful shape, high failure rate and lighting design is unreasonable and other problems, affecting the customer’s refueling experience.

So, what principles should the design of gas station canopy lighting area follow?

How to choose the lamps and lanterns and installation?

This article will answer these questions through the analysis of several aspects.

2. Gas station canopy lighting area division

(1) Work area

Work area with the core of the dispenser, 3 meters from the center of the outermost dispenser area.

(2) work proximity area

In addition to the work area other areas of the canopy.

3. Gas station canopy lighting design principles

(1) Appropriate horizontal and vertical illumination

Good horizontal illumination can ensure safe driving, while proper vertical illumination can ensure proper refueling operation and directly affect the customer’s impression of the gas station.

The horizontal illuminance of the ground and the vertical illuminance of the fuel dispenser are in proper proportion to ensure both the safety of driving and the brightness of the operating surface.

(2) Comfort and atmosphere

Visual comfort without glare interference.

Pleasant lighting and good color rendering need to be configured.

The luminance distribution is reasonable and the direction of light casting is correct, creating a comfortable environment to create a good atmosphere and meet the psychological needs of customers.

4. Gas station canopy lighting and installation

Gas station canopy lighting and installation need to follow the following principles: functional lighting as the main, decorative lighting as a supplement.

4.1. Human-centered principle

Lighting to meet the needs of customers from the lighting function to the psychological feeling, while good lighting to improve the efficiency of employees, to ensure the comfort of the working environment.

4.2. The principle of energy saving and consumption reduction

The luminaire itself is energy efficient and daily scientific control of lighting.

4.3. The principle of lowest whole-life cost

Comprehensive initial investment in equipment, use and maintenance of the lowest whole life cost (long life easy to install and maintain).

4.4. Lamp layout principles

(1) according to the height of the canopy to choose different power lamps and lanterns

6 meters choose 120W LED canopy lights.

Choose 150W LED canopy light for 9 meters.

(2) In the same gas station, choose two different kinds of light distribution

Layout of symmetrical lighting between two rows of dispensers and asymmetrical lighting outside the first and last rows of fueling areas in the work area.

(3) Choose different installation methods of luminaires according to the different ceiling of the canopy

There are mainly ceiling-mounted, embedded, bracket type, newspaper tube four kinds of installation methods.

5. Gas station LED explosion-proof lamp installation and requirements

Gas stations are usually retail gasoline and oil stations for automobiles and other motor vehicles, usually where fuel and lubricants are added.

Since gas stations are flammable and explosive places, the installation of LED explosion-proof lights in gas stations is an essential part of a safe environment.

With the development of society and the progress of science and technology, the safety requirements for the production environment are getting higher and higher.

At the same time, the safety of some special production environment is attracting more and more attention.

Especially in some flammable and explosive gas or dusty gas stations, chemical plants, paint spraying workshops, etc., safe production is the primary standard.

In addition to regular production equipment, transport equipment and its lighting are all necessary to create a safe production environment.

In order to prevent explosions of flammable substances (e.g. ignited gases and dusts), explosion-proof lamps must be used.

In order to reduce energy consumption, LED explosion-proof lamps must be used.

In order for the bulb to be resistant to rain and water vapor during use, the explosion-proof bulb must have a protection rating of at least IP66.

In order for the bulb to resist corrosion by various gases and liquids during use, the explosion-proof bulb must have a corrosion protection rating of WF2.

In order to make the lamp suitable for various installation environments, the explosion-proof lamp must have a variety of mounting methods, such as wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted, parapet vertical U-shaped bracket, ceiling-mounted bracket and street lamp bracket.

In order to be able to use the explosion-proof lamp for a long time and make full use of it, the explosion-proof lamp should have a 5-year warranty, a 3-year warranty on the light source and a 2-year warranty on the

We all know that it is impossible to answer a phone at a gas station, even if a call comes in while the phone is turned on, it can cause some safety accidents and therefore must be turned off at the gas station.

Why?

Because the air in gas stations is full of liquefied gas molecules, so if you encounter an electrical spark, it is likely to cause an explosion.

Our gas station explosion-proof lights use environmentally friendly and energy-saving high quality LED beads and advanced explosion-proof technology with American bridgelux 45 mil chips, which can effectively ensure the safety of gas stations and the needs of daily work lighting.

Considering the special environment of gas stations, the floodlights should be installed as explosion-proof lights to provide lighting for the daily work of gas stations and passing vehicles.

Gas station LED explosion-proof lights have higher requirements for usage time and our products have excellent quality, 5-year warranty, IP68 protection level and high safety factor.

In addition, the service life is up to 50,000 hours.

Die-cast aluminum is used as lampshade and high hardness tempered glass as cover, which makes the product with excellent safety.

LED gas station lights use LED as light source, cold start luminous, with the advantages of explosion-proof, environmental protection, safety and energy saving.

Gas stations are an important part of urban public services.

Traditional gas station lights use 250W, 400W metal halide or induction lamps and other 360° luminous lamps.

The disadvantage of high light loss leads to huge energy waste.

Therefore, it is very important to develop new LED gas station lights with energy saving, environmental protection, long life and high color rendering index for urban lighting.

Gas station lighting is closely related to people’s lives.

LED gas station lights have the advantages of directional light, low power consumption, good driving performance, fast response time, strong impact resistance, long service life, green and environmental protection.

With the popularity of car use and the growth of the number of gas stations built, the advantages of LED gas station explosion-proof lights have gradually entered people’s view.

LED lights have become a new generation of energy-saving light source, the advantages of which can replace the world’s traditional light sources.

Therefore, LED gas station explosion-proof lights will become the best choice for energy-saving lighting in gas stations, and the world trend.
