By every metric for lighting cost, quality, efficiency, safety and reliability, LENZX delivers a superior solution for both new facilities as well as existing facilities retrofitted to LENZX lighting systems.
Lower Energy Costs. LENZX lighting systems save energy two ways; by reducing the energy needed to power each fixture, and reducing fixture heat output for lower facility cooling costs. LENZX lights consume 50% less energy than fluorescent systems.
Lower Labor Costs for Installation and Replacement. Conventional cleanroom lighting systems can require fixture replacement every 3 years, often requiring laborious assembly and removal of scaffolding over sensitive processing equipment. Lighting replacement is an extremely disruptive process that is costly not just for labor, but also the losses in product yields due to contamination introduced into the cleanroom by lighting replacement crews. The long-lived LENZX fixtures are designed to last 7-10 years or more, greatly reducing the negative impact associated with fixture replacement.
A Lighter Light. LENZX systems are one-third the weight of fluorescents. That’s a reduction of 50,000 pounds of ceiling load in a 100,000-square-foot cleanroom. As manufacturers rely more on overhead Automated Material Handling Systems (AMHS), the lighter LENZX lights free up valuable ceiling load capacities. The lighter LENZX systems also enable safer and easier installation and replacement of fixtures.
Reduced Facility Construction Costs. LENZX lighting systems are designed not just for greater operational efficiency, but also greater installation efficiency. Fixtures are compatible with standard ceiling grid designs, enable snap-in convenience that greatly reduces installation time compared to conventional lighting systems.
Radically Reduced Interruption of Manufacturing Processes. Because LENZX lights have longer lives, they require far less frequent replacement than alternative lighting systems. In contamination-sensitive environments, lighting replacements incur the additional cost of reduced yield due to the introduction of particles by workers in the clean environment. LENZX systems reduce those losses by reducing the number of times lighting replacement is needed. When lighting replacements are required, the LENXZ system’s use of 2-foot modules allows rapid replacement of select lights, rather than entire light tracts, enabling minimal disruption to the manufacturing environment.
Superior Light Quality and Flexibility of Light Color. LENZX lights not only deliver the best warm, natural light on the market – they also offer exceptional flexibility for color adjustment. The multi-patented LENZX technology allows different phosphor caps to be placed over diodes to precisely tune color quality to the specific needs of different environments.
Improved Safety. One of the greatest safety benefits LENZX offers over conventional lighting systems is the greatly reduced need for personnel using hoisting equipment and/or scaffolding to replace lights in sensitive manufacturing environments. Each lighting replacement effort entails heightened risks and insurance costs associated with personnel on hoists or scaffolds handling breakable fluorescents over expensive processing tools. Long-lived LENZX fixtures require far fewer replacement cycles, reducing safety risks and offering the opportunity to reduce insurance costs.
