What is Field Serviceability for Industrial Lighting Fixtures?

A Nemalux field serviceable light fixture has replaceable components for onsite use.

What is Field Serviceability?

The Nemalux luminaire design always has field serviceability in mind. This design feature allows maintenance and upgrading options outside the warranty period. A much more cost and environmentally practical approach to changing aging components.   

Conventional HID lights have service in mind, too. Yet, it is due to the shorter life expectancy of bulbs and ballasts. The emergence of LED technology has caused a shift to non-serviceable/sealed systems. This outdated approach from other LED manufacturers gives similarities to HIDs lights. In this scope, valuable fixtures become obsolete and need replacing.

Who can fix our fixtures?

A certified electrician under the local electrical code can service the fixture. This journeyman eliminates the need to discard an asset and buy a replacement. Light fixtures designed with field serviceability in mind enable future maintenance and upgrades. This feature extends system life and highlights the impact of the initial investment. 

Can legacy lights have field serviceability?

Conventional HID fixtures rely on bulbs and ballasts for illumination needs. These parts have a shorter life expectancy and need frequent replacement. As such, access and service were crucial deliverables for product designers.

The emergence of LED technology had some manufacturers shift towards sealed luminaries. These lights are not serviceable in case of premature failures or at the end of practical life. This result forces a complete replacement of the luminaire.
