한국어 Port Lighting
Port lighting cannot do without high brightness and high protection. We have specially designed high mast LED and vapor tight LED for port environments. Provide you with safe and reliable lighting solutions.
Importance of Port Lighting
Port lighting is a crucial component of normal port operations. It not only ensures the safety and efficiency of ship berthing, container loading and unloading and vehicle traffic, but also directly impacts the port’s overall operational capacity. Most ports typically operate 24/7, requiring lighting systems to operate reliably and consistently in harsh environments, including high humidity, salt spray corrosion and strong winds and vibrations.
Port lighting covers a complex range of scenarios, including container yards, dock loading and unloading areas, port roads and passageways, tower cranes, and overhead equipment lighting. Our LED series can illuminate all port scenarios.
Challenges in Port Lighting
The design and implementation of port lighting presents numerous challenges, not simply providing sufficient brightness but also ensuring safety, stability and cost-effectiveness within complex environments. Key challenges include:
- Higher Installation Heights: Port lighting is typically installed on high poles or tower cranes 20-50 meters high, requiring high luminous flux and precise beam control.
- Harsh Environments: Long-term exposure to sea breezes, salt spray and humidity can easily lead to corrosion or failure.
- Long-Term Operation: Port lighting operates 24/7, while maintaining low energy consumption and maintenance costs.
- Safety and Glare Control: High-brightness lighting can easily cause visual disturbance to workers, must use of anti-glare structures and specialized lighting distribution.

Lighting Standards For Different Areas of Port
Because ports encompass multiple work and functional areas, lighting standards vary from one area to another. When designing port lighting, avoid excessive brightness or dimming. Proper illumination not only ensures the safety of personnel and equipment but also controls operating costs. Referring to EN 12464-2 and ANSI/IES RP-40, we recommend appropriate illumination levels for various areas in port.
- Container yards: Requires illumination (20–50 lx) to ensure accurate container lifting and stacking.
- Loading and unloading areas: Higher illumination (50–100 lx) to prevent accidents during cargo loading and unloading.
- Port roads & passageways: Typically 10–20 lx, ensure safe passage of vehicles and personnel.
- Warehouses &maintenance areas: 200–300 lx to provide a comfortable and efficient working environment.
- Tower cranes & high-rise equipment: Accurate lighting distribution,ensure clear in operating area while avoiding glare.
| Port Area | Recommended Illuminance (lx) |
|---|---|
| Container Yard | 20 – 50 lx |
| Quay / Berthing Area | 50 – 100 lx |
| Cranes / Cargo Handling Points | 150 – 200 lx (local vertical) |
| Port Roads & Vehicle Routes | 10 – 20 lx |
| Warehouses / Maintenance Areas | 200 – 300 lx |
