LED hygiene solutions enhance safety and quality

Hygiene-compliant & easy to clean

Sealed housings, smooth surfaces, and certified materials enable safe cleaning and disinfection. Ideal for areas with the highest hygiene requirements.

Resistant to chemicals, pressure & moisture

LED lights for food and pharma environments withstand cleaning procedures, high pressure, moisture, and aggressive chemicals. They remain reliable and high-performing even under extreme conditions.

Safe lighting for sensitive processes

High light quality, low-shadow illumination, and shatter-resistant design support quality inspections, visual checks, and safe production processes in highly sensitive environments.

Food processing

Hygienic lighting for food processing environments

In food processing operations (e.g., meat, seafood, baked goods, beverages, and dairy), the highest hygiene and safety standards apply. Production areas are cleaned regularly, often using high-pressure washdown and aggressive cleaning chemicals. At the same time, uniform, low-shadow lighting is critical for quality inspections, process reliability, and worker safety.

Typical requirements:
Frequent wet cleaning and disinfection, aggressive cleaning chemicals, open production environments, strict hygiene standards (HACCP), smooth and easy-to-clean surfaces, low-glare and low-shadow illumination, consistent flicker-free light quality, high ingress protection ratings, long-life continuous operation.

LED2WORK solution:
Certified hygienic fixtures with smooth surfaces and stainless-steel housings, extremely high protection ratings for washdown areas, uniform and glare-free illumination directly along the production line, low-maintenance LED technology for maximum uptime.

Recommended fixtures:

INROLED® 50 CleanPro (stainless steel, IP69K, NSF & Ecolab certified – including NSF approval for the North American market)

Washdown zones & wet areas

Rugged lighting for extreme cleaning conditions

In washdown zones and wet areas of food processing facilities, high-pressure washers as well as foam and disinfecting agents are used on a regular basis. Fixtures are continuously exposed to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. At the same time, reliable and uniform lighting is critical for safe operations and visual inspection during both production and cleaning.

Typical requirements:
High-pressure and hot-water washdown, aggressive cleaning chemicals, permanently high humidity, extreme temperature fluctuations, smooth and easy-to-clean surfaces, highest ingress protection ratings, long-life continuous operation under extreme conditions.

LED2WORK solution:
Extremely rugged hygienic fixtures with stainless-steel housings, top-tier protection ratings up to IP69K, resistant to chemicals and high-pressure washdown, safe and uniform illumination during cleaning and production phases, low-maintenance LED technology for maximum operational safety.

Recommended fixtures:

INROLED® 50 CleanPro (stainless steel, IP69K, NSF & Ecolab certified – including NSF approval for the North American market)
TUBELED_40 II (rugged, high-output, also ideal for retrofits)

Packaging & end-of-line

Reliable lighting for packaging and palletizing operations

In packaging and end-of-line areas, processes such as labeling, cartoning, visual inspection, and palletizing often run continuously. To ensure safe process control and high throughput, uniform lighting is essential—both for automated vision systems and for manual inspection and maintenance tasks.

Typical requirements:
High cycle rates and continuous operation, dependable visibility for quality inspections, uniform and glare-free lighting, rugged design to withstand vibration, easy integration into machinery and conveyor systems, low-maintenance solutions, consistent flicker-free light quality.

LED2WORK solution:
High-output, rugged machine lights for packaging systems, uniform illumination of conveyors and work areas, installation-friendly options for recessed, surface-mounted, and retrofit applications, long-lasting LED technology to minimize downtime.

Recommended fixtures:

TUBELED_40 II & TUBELED_40 II Basic Line (rugged, high-output, also ideal for retrofits)
TUBELED_25 RGB-W & IO-Link (real-time visual machine status directly from the control system)
FIELDLED EVO (surface-mounted fixture for work and conveyor areas)

Agriculture / agricultural engineering

Rugged lighting for modern, automated agriculture

In agricultural engineering applications, lighting fixtures are exposed to extreme environmental conditions—dust, moisture, temperature swings, and mechanical stress are part of daily operation. At the same time, automation continues to advance, with autonomous machinery, AI-driven processes, and self-guided systems becoming increasingly important. Reliable lighting is critical to minimize hazards and clearly indicate machine status.

Typical requirements:
Heavy dust and dirt exposure, moisture and condensation, extreme temperature fluctuations, vibration and mechanical stress, safe illumination of work and driving areas, visual status indication for automated systems, long-life continuous operation, high ingress protection ratings.

LED2WORK solution:
Extremely rugged industrial lights for harsh environments, dependable illumination to enhance workplace safety, integrable solutions for machine and process signaling, high protection ratings against dust and moisture, low-maintenance LED technology for maximum uptime.

Recommended fixtures:

TUBELED_40 II (highly rugged for dusty and wet environments)
TUBELED_40 II RGB-W (maximum visibility & clear color signaling for automated agricultural processes)
TUBELED_25 RGB-W & IO-Link (rugged, slim & smart)
TUBELED_70 EVO (high-output solution for large areas and machine zones)
