Lighting Solution
POLARIS offers complete lighting solutions for industrial, commercial, and infrastructure facilities — from initial lighting design and energy analysis to supply, installation, and commissioning of lighting systems. Good lighting is fundamental to workplace safety, employee productivity, and energy efficiency in any facility. POLARIS uses DIALux lighting simulation software to design optimised lighting layouts based on workplace illuminance standards, avoiding over-lit and under-lit zones while minimising energy consumption. Our solutions cover industrial LED high bay and low bay fixtures for factory floors and warehouses, outdoor area and road lighting, office and commercial lighting, emergency and exit lighting, and hazardous area Ex-rated lighting where required. POLARIS manages complete installation including fixtures, conduit wiring, junction boxes, lighting DB boards, and final photometric verification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What illuminance levels are recommended for different industrial areas?
As per IS 3646 and CIE standards, fine assembly and inspection areas require 500-1000 lux, general manufacturing areas need 200-500 lux, warehouses need 100-200 lux, and outdoor yards need 50-100 lux. POLARIS uses DIALux simulation to verify that the designed lighting system achieves the required illuminance levels uniformly across the work area.
Does POLARIS offer LED retrofit solutions for existing industrial lighting?
Yes. POLARIS provides LED retrofit solutions where existing conventional industrial fixtures (HPSV, metal halide, fluorescent) are replaced with energy-efficient LED equivalents. LED retrofits typically reduce lighting energy consumption by 50-70% and significantly reduce lamp replacement and maintenance costs.
What is DIALux and how does POLARIS use it for lighting design?
DIALux is professional lighting design software used to simulate lighting layouts and calculate illuminance levels across 3D models of industrial and commercial spaces. POLARIS uses DIALux to design optimised lighting systems, generate photometric reports, and ensure compliance with illuminance requirements before installation.
Can POLARIS design explosion-proof lighting for hazardous areas?
Yes. POLARIS designs and installs ATEX/IECEx-certified explosion-proof and flameproof lighting fixtures for hazardous classified areas in chemical plants, refineries, petrochemical facilities, and paint shops. Zone classification and fixture selection are done as per IEC 60079 hazardous area standards.
What lighting control systems does POLARIS offer for energy management?
POLARIS offers occupancy sensor-based automatic switching, daylight-linked dimming controls, time-based scheduling, and DALI-addressable lighting control systems. These ensure lights are active only when and where needed, further reducing energy consumption beyond LED efficiency alone.
