Test descriptions

The simulations performed in our laboratories aim to test our products in the most realistic conditions possible.

In our environmental test centers, sample specimens of our luminaires undergo rough treatment indeed: They are dropped from a great height in shock tower tests, shaken vigorously by vibration testing equipment, soaked in water and dust, allowed to corrode in salt mist spray chambers and steamed in our climate testing facilities. Some are even shot at with a hand ball at 60 km/hour!

We do this so that we will know exactly what our products can endure, in order to provide them with the correct national and international classifications and certifications.

Shock tests

Mechanical shock has the potential for damaging a product. For this reason there are shock resistance requirements...

Vibration testing

Many luminaires need to be tested for resistance to vibration. We have equipment to do pre-qualifying tests for...

Impact resistance

In mechanics, an impact is a high force or shock applied over a short time period when two or more bodies collide.

Photometry

Photometry is the science of the measurement of light, in terms of its perceived brightness to the human eye.
