Production and Workshop Lighting
In production shops, factories, and carpentry workshops, lighting is not just a matter of comfort, but a matter of life and death. When working at lathes, circular saws, or fast-rotating mechanisms, the stroboscopic effect of lighting (flickering light invisible to the eye) can create an optical illusion that a rotating part is standing still, causing severe injuries. Moreover, in factories, luminaires must work continuously, often 24/7, under high heat and vibration conditions. Cheap luminaires cannot hold such a load and require regular bulb changes. VIDEX industrial luminaires are designed for safe and continuous production.
VIDEX production lighting technical superiority (TCO and Safety):
- Zero-Flicker for safety: Our industrial luminaires have a top-class IC voltage driver built-in. It prevents light flickering even when voltage drops occur in the network due to the starting of large production equipment. This is vitally important for occupational safety near rotating mechanisms.
- Brutal vibration and heat resistance: High-quality aluminum bodies with cooling fins dissipate heat, guaranteeing 50,000 hours of operation. Luminaire components are soldered and fixed so that they do not fall apart even in strong workshop vibrations.
- Glare control (UGR): In production, workers must constantly concentrate on fine details. VIDEX optics ensure that the bright light does not hit the eyes directly, maintaining concentration and reducing the error rate on the production line.
Invest in light that protects your employees, improves quality control, and reduces electricity bills.
Q: Why is it critical to use Zero-Flicker power supply units in production halls with rotating equipment?
Q: How to calculate the required illumination level (in lux) for production and assembly areas according to EN 12464-1?
Q: Why are linear VIDEX luminaires with a reduced glare rating (UGR<19) used for factory assembly lines?
Q: Why is a color rendering index of CRI>80 or CRI>90 important in factory quality control areas?
Q: How do vibration-damping brackets extend the lifespan of industrial luminaires?
A: Zero-Flicker IC electronics eliminate the stroboscopic effect, which can make rotating lathes, milling machines, or saws appear stationary to the human eye. This prevents severe workplace injury risks near machinery and reduces employee eye strain during continuous work shifts.
Q: How to calculate the required illumination level (in lux) for production and assembly areas according to EN 12464-1?
A: The European standard specifies illumination levels based on work precision: 300 lx for general sorting and packaging, 500 lx for metalworking and carpentry, and 750–1000 lx for precision engineering and electronics assembly. An adequate lux density eliminates errors and ensures workplace safety.
Q: Why are linear VIDEX luminaires with a reduced glare rating (UGR<19) used for factory assembly lines?
A: The microprismatic optics of luminaires limit direct glare and prevent light reflections on polished metal surfaces and machine tool displays. This improves visual contrast, allowing operators to accurately read drawings and prevent defects in the production process.
Q: Why is a color rendering index of CRI>80 or CRI>90 important in factory quality control areas?
A: A high CRI index ensures an undistorted spectrum, which is essential for identifying electrical cable color coding, piping, and warning signs. With a low color rendering index, color pigments blend together, creating dangerous errors in equipment connection and component sorting.
Q: How do vibration-damping brackets extend the lifespan of industrial luminaires?
A: Flexible dampeners isolate the luminaire housing from mechanical vibrations caused in building structures by presses, conveyors, and cranes. Such damping protects soldering points and electronic boards from delamination, guaranteeing stable operation for over 50,000 hours.
