Enclosure Lighting
Essential illumination in control cabinets and other electrical enclosures is a top priority for their maintenance and safety, and that's where enclosure lighting comes in. Enclosure lights, particularly LED lights, are popular for their energy-efficient, long-lasting performance. These products can fit into quite small spaces, so they give reliable, bright light without taking up much room at all. Some models work on a simple, no-fuss system of just plugging them in, while others use a bit of motion sensor magic to activate the light while you're working in the enclosure.
LED lights allow for not only great flexibility but also great versatility of application. They come in various configurations and mounting options to ensure a perfect fit for a control cabinet and other uses. Many are plug-and-play. A few even come with the option of magnetic mounting, so you can quickly reconfigure the layout of a given space without having to wire in an entirely new lighting scheme.
More Information about Enclosure Lighting
Automatic switching provides the convenience of hands-free operation, making it ideal for enclosures where manual control is impractical. These lights are configured to work for high performance and long life, so they can serve the vital function of allowing someone to work inside the enclosure safely and efficiently. They accomplish this while taking up little space, and with a simple external door switch that puts them in the top choice category for both new builds and retrofits.

Industrial Enclosure Accessories and Modifications
Common modifications or accessories that are used to enhance electrical cabinets.
Lighting kits. Lighting kits are often used in outdoor applications. There are many different styles of lighting kits that can be used, but LEDs have become the preferred lighting solution in the past several years.
Pressure switches. Pressure switches operate on a spring and react to the cabinet door opening and closing. They can be used for lights, intrusions alarms and exhaust fans.
Passive air vents. Passive air vents allow natural air circulation to flow through a cabinet providing proper ventilation.
Enclosure fans. Enclosure air fans are used when more ventilation is required. The size of the fan will depend on the size of the enclosure as well as the amount of air that needs to be circulated.
Air conditioners. Air conditioners are used when ambient air circulation is inadequate to cool the cabinet. The air conditioner size will depend on the enclosure size, ambient air temperature and heat generated within the cabinet.
Heaters. Heaters are used when a cabinet is located in areas that may be exposed to cold temperatures.
Locking mechanisms. Locking mechanisms are used to secure cabinets.
Conduit hole seals. Conduit hole seals are used on cabinets that have holes that need to be plugged after conduit has been removed.
