When we talk about the extremely successful people, there’s one thing which is common among all. It is their willingness and ability to kick-off their career at an early age. At an age of playing with friends, there was one exception who discovered his passion for photography. Pranay Patel is the name who started his professional career as a wildlife photographer at the age of 13. In the year 2011, he made up his mind to become a wildlife photographer. An animal lover since childhood, the talented guy started clicking pictures of animals in his locality including that of dogs, cows and birds. Their movement and body functioning always left this guy in awe of nature’s most beautiful creatures after which he started capturing them through his lenses.

The Ahmedabad-based guy who has spent almost a decade in this field has now become a past master through self-learning in wildlife photography. However, the calling to become a wildlife photographer came when he visited Ranthambore National Park along with his family. Since then, the wildlife enthusiast started clicking pictures of wildlife and built a portfolio of nature and wildlife covering the exotic wildlife of India and other countries of the world including New Zealand, USA, Australia, Kenya, Africa among others. With having done more than 100 safari and sanctuary visits in the last five years, Pranay seems to cover the wildlife from all over the world.

His frequent visits have been to Gir, Tadoba, Ranthambhore, Kabini, Little Rann of Kutch, Blackbuck National Park Velavadar and Thol. However, due to the unfortunate coronavirus pandemic, there have been travel restrictions and Pranay is spending quality time with family at home. Getting his hands-on camera at a very tender age, Patel has learnt all the technicalities and is well-versed with wildlife photography now. He always says that he followed his passion and listened to his heart. With the main goal of representing India on a global level, the photographer through his beautiful clicks has shown the beauty of India’s nature and wildlife.

When asked a piece of advice he would give to his 5-year old self, Pranay came up with a very interesting reply. He said, “I would tell him to cherish the beginnings in photography. Always be a child and be more curious to know about the vast field of photography. Embrace that sense of amazement you have with the world. Click anything that interests you. This is the best time because you don’t worry about the world. Gladly, you still haven’t discovered ‘social media’ yet, which also means that you will be shooting for yourself with all focus on your passion. Make the best of time and have fun while doing that.” Through self-training, Pranay Patel has surely come a long way in his journey. With being an official photographer for Gujarat Tourism, this talented guy has got a lot to achieve in his life. Our best wishes are with Pranay and may he bring India’s wildlife on a global map in the years to come.

Commercial and Industrial Lighting Solutions: A Bright Future with LEDLightExpert

mm

Published

on

Today, conserving the planet’s dwindling resources is more critical than ever, but many commercial buildings still waste approximately 30% of the energy they consume. Fortunately, the emergence of LED lighting equips these businesses with a powerful way to improve operations while reducing overhead costs.

“Our mission is to provide sustainable lighting solutions that reduce energy consumption and lower the carbon footprint of commercial and industrial operations,” says Dara Greaney, CEO of LEDLightExpert.com. “LED lighting is a huge leap forward in technology. It offers outstanding benefits both for businesses and for the planet.”

Why LED lighting is the sustainable choice for commercial and industrial applications

Traditional lighting solutions like incandescent and halogen lamps convert much of the energy they consume into heat, making them hot to the touch. In contrast, LEDs generate minimal heat and use most of their energy to produce light, making them far more efficient and reducing a building’s cooling load.

Thanks to their efficiency, LEDs use approximately 75% less energy than their incandescent counterparts. For large commercial and industrial spaces requiring extensive lighting, energy efficiency translates into substantial cost savings. The energy bills of facilities operating on a 24/7 schedule, such as warehouses and manufacturing plants, stand to benefit the most.

A positive review from an LEDLightExpert customer states, “The 52-500, 100-watt LED flood lights we ordered were heavy-duty, sealed for exterior use, and had 50% more lumens than the 100-watt lights they replaced.”  

LEDs also boast an impressive lifespan. Because LED bulbs last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, customers can expect fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.

Whereas traditional lighting options might need to be replaced every few months or years, LED lights last for decades with minimal maintenance. This longevity is crucial in industrial environments where accessing light fixtures can be challenging and costly.

In a recent review, another satisfied LEDLightExpert customer reports, “We have used these 150w LEDs to retrofit 62 400w metal halide lights in our church parking lot. I just ordered the last [five] needed to complete this project. The original LED lights have been in for over a year with not one issue. Great product […] great customer service!”

LED bulbs are an all-around boon for the environment. By consuming less energy, they lower greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a smaller carbon footprint. Their long lifespan also reduces waste and the overall impact on landfills. 

Finally, unlike fluorescent lighting, which contains hazardous substances like mercury, LEDs are non-toxic and do not require special disposal procedures. This makes them a safer and more eco-friendly option for businesses looking to enhance their sustainability practices.

LED lighting offers improved lighting quality

It turns out that LED bulbs benefit people as well as the planet. Advanced LED features such as dimming capabilities, smart controls, and motion sensors allow businesses to tailor lighting systems to a range of needs and conditions. 

Additionally, the wide range of cool and warm lighting options available from LED bulbs enables businesses to optimize comfort with the most natural lighting possible. Studies confirm that well-lit workplaces lead to increased productivity, health, and job satisfaction for employees.

“The brightness, clarity, and consistency of LED lights ensure safer and more productive work environments,” Greaney notes. “At LEDLightExpert, we are dedicated to lighting solutions that enhance visibility and make the workplace a more enjoyable place to be.” 

LEDLightExpert: Leading the way in commercial and industrial lighting

LEDLightExpert has made a name for itself in the realm of commercial and industrial lighting, and its commitment to quality and innovation is evident in its comprehensive product offerings. The brand’s high bay LED lights deliver bright and consistent lighting even in rooms with high ceilings and expansive spaces, making them ideal choices for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and gymnasiums, providing powerful and efficient illumination. The high bay lights ensure every corner of the facility is well-lit, enhancing both safety and productivity. 

For these unique applications, LEDLightExpert offers several options. First, named for their characteristic circular shape, UFO Style High Bay lights provide broad and efficient illumination.

Next, featuring long LED tubes, Linear Style High Bay lights are known for their energy efficiency and high lumen output. They are perfect for spaces with ceiling heights ranging from 15 to 30 feet.

Finally, for spaces that need 360-degree lighting, LED Corn Bulbs from LEDLightExpert present an ideal solution. These bulbs, shaped like an ear of corn with multiple LED chips installed on all sides, are excellent replacements for traditional metal halides, high-pressure sodium lamps, and CFL bulbs. They offer a cost-effective path to upgrade lighting systems by enabling businesses to retrofit current fixtures to LED without considerable infrastructure changes.

Safety and security are a top concern in industrial and outdoor commercial settings. LEDLightExpert offers commercial LED floodlights that illuminate vast areas such as parking lots, building façades, and construction sites with bright and consistent lighting that enhances visibility and deters potential security threats. Their durable design withstands harsh weather conditions while providing maximum visibility.

For outdoor perimeters, LEDLightExpert’s Industrial LED Wall Packs are another excellent lighting option. These fixtures provide powerful lighting that enhances security and aesthetics at the same time.

LEDLightExpert’s street and parking lot lights are well-suited for municipal and commercial applications, ensuring well-lit paths and parking areas. Their design focuses on both performance and energy savings, improving public safety with reliable, bright lighting. 

“Our lineup of LED products meets the wide range of needs expressed by our commercial and industrial clients,” explains Greaney. “From high-wattage flood lights to customizable lighting solutions, we are constantly innovating to bring the latest LED technology to our customers. With LED, the benefits are clear, the products outstanding, and the future undeniably bright.”
