The switch to LED lighting systems in wind turbines is an essential measure to ensure safety and sustainability. This article introduces the Towerstrip+ system from Switch GmbH, an efficient and legally compliant lighting solution specifically designed for use in wind turbines.
The Challenge: Safety in
Power failure
https://www.switch-gmbh.de/Bisher were frequently
fluorescent lamps, but due to the increased
RoHS directives will no longer apply in the European Union from 25 August 2023
may be marketed. This development requires an alternative
Lighting solution that meets both safety requirements and
complies with ecological and legal guidelines.
Solution: The LED lighting system Towerstrip+ from
Switch GmbH
An innovative and sustainable solution
the Towerstrip+ LED lighting system with integrated safety light from the
Switch GmbH. This system is specially designed for use in wind turbines
and meets the high requirements for safety and security
Work lighting. The Technical Rules for Workplaces ASR A3.4 and ASR
A2.3 for construction site lighting and ASR A3.4/7 for emergency lighting
are fully complied with.
Key features of the Towerstrip+ system
- Built-in safety light: In case of
in the event of a power failure, the system switches on automatically and without delay
the safety light to ensure continuous illumination.
- Modular design: The system is based on
the tried-and-tested FLEXblue+ LED strip lights and can be used within the system limits
can be easily extended. This allows for flexible adaptation to the
conditions of the wind turbines.
- High-quality components: Both the
Continuous-row lighting as well as the lighting control are designed with IP65 protection,
which protects them against water jets from all sides. They also comply with CE,
REACH and RoHS directives, which underlines their quality and safety.
- Easy installation and maintenance: Thanks
lockable connectors, the system is easy to install
and, if necessary, expand or maintain.
Advantages over traditional
Lighting systems
- Energy efficiency: LED lighting systems are widely used in the
much more energy-efficient compared to fluorescent lamps, which not only reduces the
operating costs, but also contributes to environmental protection.
- Long service life: LEDs have a significantly
longer service life, which reduces maintenance costs and the need for replacement.
- Enhanced Security: The Instant
Switching to the safety light in the event of a power failure guarantees a
continuous lighting and thus increases safety in the tower.
Conclusion and call to action
