Good lighting on a building site – a daily challenge
Anyone who works regularly on building sites will be familiar with the situation: in the shell of a building, there is no permanently installed lighting; stairwells are in the dark; and in long corridors, the available light is often insufficient. Particularly during the winter months or in windowless rooms, inadequate lighting makes work more difficult and can compromise safety.
Although temporary lights provide a temporary solution, they often only illuminate individual areas. Disturbing shadows and the need to repeatedly reposition the lights as work progresses create additional work.
The practical solution: LED strip lights. They can be installed quickly, mounted flexibly and ensure uniform illumination even over long distances. This means that entire work areas can be lit using a single light strip – without having to set up several construction spotlights.
A strip light – a wide range of applications
Whether for new builds, refurbishments or temporary installations: LED strip lights are extremely versatile and can be easily moved to a different location if required.
Typical applications in day-to-day electrical installation work:
- Structural work: Uniform lighting for installation, assembly and fitting work.
- Stairwells: A clear view of steps, landings and walkways.
- Corridors and hallways: Continuous lighting, even over longer distances.
- Cellars and utility rooms: Bright task lighting in areas with little or no daylight.
- Conversions and refurbishments: Flexible, temporary lighting that can be adapted as the building work progresses.
- Tunnel construction: Uniform illumination over long distances – ideal for dark tunnel sections, underground construction sites and changing work areas.
Another advantage is that they are easy to transport: the compact and lightweight LED light strips take up very little space in the service vehicle and can be put into operation quickly when needed.
Robust and reliable for everyday use on construction sites
On construction sites, lighting solutions are subjected to demanding conditions. Dust, damp, low temperatures and mechanical stress are part of everyday life.
ELBRO’s LED light strips are designed to meet these requirements and, depending on the model, offer the following impressive features:
- Lengths from 10 to 100 metres
- Neutral white light at 4000 Kelvin
- Protection class IP65 or IP55
- Protection Class II
- Impact resistance IK08
- Operating temperatures from −30 °C to +40 °C
The neutral white light creates a pleasant lighting environment and facilitates precise work. Thanks to their robust construction, the LED strip lights are suitable for both indoor use and appropriate outdoor applications.
New at ELBRO: Practical solutions for construction site lighting
ELBRO is expanding its range with well-designed products for flexible and reliable site lighting.
LED emergency power supply – light even during a power cut
A power cut on a building site is rarely welcome. It can get dark in an instant, particularly in windowless rooms, stairwells or basements.
The new LED strip light emergency power supply unit by ELBRO ensures that the lights do not go out immediately in the event of a power cut.
The device is connected between the mains socket and a compatible LED strip light. In the event of a power cut, the built-in lithium-ion battery automatically takes over the power supply.
The key benefits at a glance:
- Automatic switchover in the event of a power cut
- Up to two hours’ battery life
- Approximately 65 % of normal lighting output during emergency power operation
- IP55-rated plug connection
- Easy integration into temporary lighting
This means that even in the event of a power cut, there is still light to help you find your way – a valuable advantage in dark work areas.
10 m LED strip light – compact, bright and ready for immediate use
Not every building site needs a 50- or 100-metre-long light strip. For smaller rooms, individual work areas or short corridors, the new 10-metre LED light strip offers a practical solution.
With 8,600 lumens, uniform 360° illumination and neutral white light at 4,000 Kelvin, it ensures good visibility. Thanks to its IP55 protection rating, it is also suitable for demanding construction site environments.
LED strip light with adjustable colour temperaturer – Light on demand
Different tasks require different lighting conditions. With the LED strip light featuring adjustable colour temperature (CCT), the light colour can be easily adapted to suit the specific application.
Seven selectable modes allow for flexible adjustment via the remote control. Thanks to the memory function, the last setting selected is saved.
LED strip light on a 25-metre reel – ideal for longer runs
For long corridors, building shells or larger workspaces, ELBRO offers a single-sided LED strip light on a handy 25-metre reel.
With 120 LEDs per metre, neutral white light at 4000 Kelvin and a power output of 125 watts, it provides uniform and efficient illumination.
The reel also makes it easier to transport and handle the equipment on site.
Halogen-free LED light strips for the most stringent safety requirements
We are also well equipped to handle demanding projects: our halogen-free, double-sided LED strip light (50 m) with 240 LEDs/m (type 2835), 10 W/m, 1,100 lm/m and 4,000 K is ideal for public buildings and areas with heightened security requirements.
The robust, IP68-certified silicone profile, cut-to-length markings and an IP55 plug connection ensure safety and flexibility.
Illuminated IP66 LED On/Off Switch – robust and highly visible
The operation of the site lighting should be simple and reliable.
The illuminated LED on/off switch from ELBRO is rated for 250 V and 10 A and has an IP66 protection rating. This means it is dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets.
Thanks to the built-in lighting, the switch is easy to see even in low light.
More light, less effort
Good construction site lighting need not be complicated or costly. LED strip lights offer electricians a flexible, robust and straightforward solution for a wide range of applications.
Whether in building shells, stairwells or tunnel construction – with ELBRO’s LED light strips and the right accessories, temporary lighting can be set up quickly and tailored to your needs.
