DOCK LIGHT KIT WITH FAN 90″ 150W

Description

The DOCK LIGHT KIT WITH FAN 90″ 150W is a heavy-duty, ceiling-mounted lighting and ventilation solution designed specifically for loading docks, warehouses, and industrial facilities requiring long-throw illumination and air circulation. This UL-listed combination unit delivers professional-grade lighting performance with integrated fan functionality, making it an all-in-one installation for facilities looking to improve both visibility and air quality in high-bay environments.

Key Features and Specifications: This dock light kit features a robust 150W PAR38 lamp with an impressive 90-inch reach, ensuring maximum light coverage across large dock areas and warehouse spaces without requiring multiple fixtures. The UL-listed fan component provides synchronized ventilation, helping to reduce heat accumulation and improve air movement in facilities with limited natural ventilation. The system utilizes industrial-grade construction suitable for wet and damp locations, meeting stringent safety codes required in commercial loading environments. With integrated mounting hardware and a durable aluminum reflector, installation is straightforward for experienced facility maintenance teams. The PAR38 lamp configuration delivers focused, directional lighting ideal for task-critical dock operations where visibility directly impacts safety and productivity. The combination design eliminates the need for separate electrical circuits and mounting infrastructure, reducing installation time and costs while maintaining professional performance standards.

Common Applications and End Users: The DOCK LIGHT KIT WITH FAN 90″ 150W is widely used in food distribution centers, pharmaceutical warehouses, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities where dock operations occur around the clock. Facility managers, operations directors, and warehouse supervisors rely on this equipment to maintain OSHA-compliant lighting levels during loading and unloading operations, reducing accident risk and improving worker safety. Third-party logistics (3PL) providers, cold storage facilities, and cross-dock operations benefit from the combination light-and-fan solution, particularly in facilities with moisture challenges or seasonal heat concerns. Shipping and receiving departments depend on this lighting intensity to verify shipment accuracy, inspect incoming goods, and maintain proper documentation procedures. The 90-inch reach is particularly valuable in facilities with 16-foot to 20-foot dock ceiling heights, eliminating shadows and dark zones that compromise worker safety and operational efficiency.

What to Consider When Selecting Dock Lighting Solutions: When evaluating dock light kits, buyers should prioritize lumens output, color temperature (typically 5000K for dock operations), and beam angle to ensure adequate coverage of the specific dock area dimensions. The IP rating (ingress protection) is critical for facilities handling moisture, water washdown, or temperature-sensitive products. Verify that equipment carries UL certification for your specific location classification—wet locations, damp locations, or dry locations—as this affects warranty validity and insurance compliance. Consider the maintenance accessibility of lamp replacement and fan cleaning, as dock equipment operates continuously and requires regular upkeep. Energy consumption is a legitimate cost factor in high-volume facilities; compare wattage efficiency and expected lamp life against total cost of ownership. The integration of ventilation capability should be evaluated against your facility’s existing HVAC system to avoid redundant airflow or inadequate circulation patterns.

What size PAR38 lamp does this dock light kit use?

This kit uses a 150W PAR38 lamp, which is a standard industrial-grade halogen reflector lamp commonly found in dock lighting applications. PAR38 refers to the lamp’s parabolic aluminized reflector design and 38-eighths-of-an-inch diameter. The 150W rating provides the power necessary to achieve the 90-inch throw distance while maintaining suitable lumens output for dock-level task lighting. Replacement lamps are widely available through industrial lighting suppliers and are inexpensive relative to the fixture cost, making maintenance economical.

How do I determine if the 90-inch reach is adequate for my facility’s dock height?

The 90-inch reach specification refers to the effective distance from the fixture where light intensity remains sufficient for safe dock operations—typically defined as a minimum of 50 foot-candles for OSHA dock safety standards. Measure your dock ceiling height and the distance from the fixture mounting point to the dock floor or work surface. For ceilings 14 to 18 feet high, the 90-inch reach generally provides even illumination across a 25- to 30-foot dock area. If your facility has higher ceilings (over 20 feet) or longer dock configurations, you may require multiple units or supplemental lighting. Consult your facility’s lighting plan or request a photometric analysis from your supplier.

What is the difference between PAR38 and other dock lighting lamp types?

PAR38 lamps feature a built-in reflector, making them self-contained and efficient for long-throw applications like dock lighting. This contrasts with open-reflector fixtures that require separate lamp and reflector combinations, which are typically used in lower-bay applications.
