Tower lights, such as LED tower lights, are special lights used in a wide range of manufacturing and industrial applications for communication and process controls. These are some of the most common questions associated with them. What Are Tower Lights Used for? Tower lights are used for process control, automation, and communication in a wide variety of manufacturing and other industrial applications. They are stacked lights, typically arranged on a column. A tower light can have one light or many different colored lights, each of which communicates unique significance (see below). They deliver visual (and sometimes auditory) cues regarding a system, machine, or the status of a process. They are used for: Productivity monitoring, such as tracking the progress of a process and comparing uptime and downtime. Communication of machine faults, or the interruption of a process. To monitor maintenance stations. CNC machining, to provide feedback or supervisory control of a machine...

Industrial processes rely heavily on automation and efficiency to ensure that production runs smoothly and efficiently. Push button switches are some of the most essential components of industrial automation, as they provide reliable and efficient control of certain processes. Push button switches can be used to initiate, stop, and reset various processes, as well as to provide feedback and other monitoring functions. What Are Push Button Switches ? Push button switches (also known as pushbutton switches) constitute a class of electrical actuators, typically made of metal or thermoplastic, that are capable of closing or opening electrical circuits into which they are integrated. They can be used to initiate or halt a process, kill the power to a system, and more. They can be both panel-mounted or surface-mounted, depending on the design and the needs of the circumstances. Like other types of switches, they are used to open or close electrical circuits, either facilitating or interr...

Perhaps no other single kind of specialized lighting is as ubiquitous in commercial and industrial systems and infrastructure as signal lights. Whether it’s for traffic and air control, the display status for industrial machinery, or lighting used in construction settings, these pieces of equipment are essential for maintaining the safety and orderly operation of a myriad of different businesses and industries. In this guide we will cover all of the basics when it comes to tower signal lights and systems, including what they are used for and the general installation process, as well as recommendations on featured brands that we carry right here in our store for those who are looking to purchase. What Are Tower Signal Lights? Tower signal lights are lights that are mounted on tall structures, such as towers or poles, to indicate the status of various systems or processes. These lights are often used in industrial settings, such as factories or oil rigs, to indicate the status of eq...

Industrial automation has become an increasingly important part of modern manufacturing processes. Automation helps to reduce costs, increase efficiency and productivity, improve safety, and produce higher-quality products. Automated solutions are used in a variety of industries, from automotive to aerospace, and can be tailored to fit the needs of any manufacturing plant or organization. This article will discuss some of the different types of industrial automation systems that are commonly used in today’s manufacturing processes. We will also look at the benefits of using automation systems in the workplace. By the end of this post, you should have a better understanding of some of the different types of automation systems and their advantages. The first type of automation system we will cover is a form of programmable automation called a programmable logic controller (PLC). PLCs are computer-based systems that are designed to control industrial processes. They are programmed with...

  As people around the world look to what they can do to reduce their carbon footprints, electric vehicles have grown in popularity. Electric vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions and modern electric vehicles have high-performance electric drive components. While purchase prices remain high, increased production and federal tax credits have lowered the overall prices of electric vehicles, making them more attractive to many. In short, there are many draws to electric vehicles - and another is infrastructure - with a caveat. It is true that the electric grid is typically accessible from most places where drivers park their cars - which means, theoretically, there’s a “gas station” at every stop. The thing is, while electricity is not scarce, charging stations are still forthcoming. BreezEV electric vehicle charging, by Light Efficient Design, is doing its part to make electric vehicle charging stations more accessible to all. Here’s what you need to know about BreezEV chargin...

  About 20 years ago, the price of semiconductor materials that are used to make LEDs fell substantially, dropping the price of LEDs around the world. Since that time, LEDs, which previously were cost-prohibitive to manufacture, buy and implement, have been widely adopted around the world as replacement and retrofit lighting. They have been used to replace incandescent, halogen, fluorescent, and of course, high-intensity discharge lamps. By and large, the biggest benefit of LED lighting is in its energy efficiency. For many institutions, warehouses and manufacturing facilities, LEDs are the top choice simply because they are so much more energy efficient than alternatives. For instance, many industrial settings use HID, or high-intensity discharge lamps, such as mercury vapor, metal halide lamps, and high and low pressure sodium lamps. These lamps, while they offer excellent light output and color temperature, produce a lot of heat and are not energy efficient - nowhere near as ...
