Test

Test

Precise measurements and reliable tests for light design

  1. 1 PAINT CORROSION TESTING IN A SALINE MIST CHAMBER

    The salt spray test is a test that produces an accelerated corrosive attack, which allows the resistance of the paint layer to corrosion to be tested even for installation in environments with particular conditions.

  2. 2 IP PROTECTION DEGREE TEST

    IP Testing Laboratory (Ingress Protecton)
    The test classifies and evaluates the degree of IP protection, testing the fixtures against the intrusion of solid particles (such as particles and dust) and the access of liquids.

  3. 3 DIELECTRIC STRENGTH TEST

    Once assembled, each one of our devices undergoes safety tests, the rigidity test is highly significant and has the purpose of stressing the insulation between the mains conductors from an electrical point of view.

  4. 4 THERMAL AGING TEST THROUGH THE CLIMATIC CHAMBER

    The climatized chamber allows you to carry out thermal tests of the equipment and duration tests. The operating principle is based on the two quantities controlled by the climatic chamber, temperature and humidity.

  5. 5 PHOTOMETRICS MEASUREMENTS CARRIED OUT WITH A GONIOPHOTOMETER

    Technological instruments such as the goniophotometer are used to measure the luminous details (luminous flux, intensity, beam angle) of lighting fixtures and to evaluate their distribution in space. Using this equipment, files are obtained which allow the light designer to carry out simulations on the projects under development. The photometric data are then collected and reprocessed also in graphical form such as table, Cartesian coordinate graphic and polar diagram.
