The innovative laboratories, a distinctive asset of the company, where a dedicated and passionate team of technicians and engineers, virtually simulate and exacerbate the environments where the products will be placed, measuring their effects and behaviours. It is the acid test of each component, where monsoon rain, salt fog, mechanical shocks, electrical stress and other stressful conditions, reproduce in a few hours the effects of decades of operation of the facilities and equipment. New products are also designed in these premises, inside the company, in an environment of utmost scientific and technical rigour. Tests are carried out on lighting units, light sources and surface coatings.
Corrosion resistance to neutral salt spray. This is a performance test designed to test protective coatings. Paints and other types of protective coatings are tested to determine their resistance to corrosion by neutral salt spray aging according to ISO 9227 standard.
Resistance to artificial accelerated aging. This is a performance test designed to test protective coatings. The test is characterized by exposure to fluorescent UV lamps and water. Moreover, the "decorative" features are examined before and after the cyclic accelerated aging by means of UV-A or UV-B radiation and condensation in accordance with ISO 11507. The comparison takes place both through a preliminary visual inspection and by instrumental testing to identify differences in colour (ISO 7724) and index of brightness. The test equipment is located in an appropriate environment which requires specific systems such as, for example, the water purification system.
This is a safety test on the light fixtures casing. This test is used to determine the degree of resistance to water ingress and takes place in a controlled temperature environment. The reference standard is the EN60598-2-3 and EN60598-1.
It is a safety test on the light fixtures casing. This test is used to determine the degree of resistance to external mechanical impact and takes place in a controlled temperature environment. The reference standard is the EN62262.
This is a safety test on light fixtures, to determine their resistance to cyclic heating and cooling under operating conditions. The test takes place in a controlled temperature environment at 35 ° C. Its purpose is to check that the light fixture characteristics do not change over time. The reference standard is the EN60598-2-3 and EN60598-1.
This is a safety test on light fixtures. It tests light fixtures when critical temperatures for safety are reached during normal or abnormal operation. Light fixtures are tested to verify their thermal, mechanical and electrical safety as specified in the harmonised product standards under Directive LVD, EN 60598-2-3 and EN 60598-1. This test also includes safety tests on LED modules, according to product standard EN 62031. The LED modules are usually tested as built-in components of the lighting unit. This type of tests is carried out in a constant temperature environment.
This is a performance test on light fixtures and light sources. A mirror goniophotometer is used to determine performance, light output (LOR [%]), efficacy (η [lm / W]) and luminous intensity distribution in accordance with EN 13032-1 and UNI 11365. The room where the test equipment is located is air conditioned with constant temperature, humidity and air speed.
This is a performance test on light fixtures and light sources. This is where the performance of lamps and LED modules (decay of the luminous flux, efficacy and colour characteristics) is tested. The room housing the spectroradiometer, where the colorimetric characteristics of light sources can be identified, is air conditioned, but without temperature control.
This is a performance test on light fixtures and light sources. This is where the performance of lamps and LED modules (decay of the luminous flux, efficacy and colour characteristics) is tested. The room is air conditioned, but without temperature control. In particular, this test is done to assess and measure lamps aging. For this test the reference standard is the EN 13032-1.
