CONTENT Terminology
Below is terminology used in our publication
DEGREE OF ELECTRICAL PROTECTION |
INGRESS PROTECTION RATING | ||||||
Class I: Luminaires that require an earth connection. All parts of this type of product where conductive parts could be touched, and in case of defect can cause an electric shock, require earth protection. |
|
||||||
Class II: Luminaires that do not require earth connection. Double insulated materials are used in fabrication, therefore no parts could cause an electric shock by accidental touch. Class III: Luminaires for low voltage use (not exceeding 24V) supplied through a safety transformer such as LED's or low voltage lamps. |
The first number identifies the protection degree against the entry of solid objects 1. Protection against the entry of solid bodies with dimensions more than 50mm. 2. Protection against the entry of solid bodies with dimension more than 12mm. 3. Protection against the entry of solid bodies with dimension more than 2,5mm. 4. Protection against the entry of solid bodies with dimension more than 1mm. 5. Protection against the entry of dust. 6. Complete protection against the entry of dust. |

LIGHT OUTPUT Kelvin (K): Represents the colour temperature of a light source. Below is a breakdown of typical colour temperatures used: 3000K - Warm white light 4000K - Natural white light 6000K - Cool white light Lumen (Lm): Technical terminology for how much light a light source or luminaire emits. |
The second number identifies the protection degree against the entry of liquid 0. No protection. 1. Protection against vertical falling of water drops. 2. Protection against the falling of water with maximum inclination of 15°. 3. Protection against rain. 4. Protection against water splashes. 5. Protection against water jets. 6. Protection against big waves. 7. Protection against the effects of limited periods of immersion. 8. Protection against the effects of total submersion indefinitely. |

It is important that these recommendations are adhered to,
as they affect the lifespan and warranty of our exterior luminaires.
Costal:
Fittings suitable for installation in proximity to the sea, as well as for inland installation.
Inland:
Suitable for installation not closer than 8km, in air distance, from the sea.
The Lumen definition used is intended to specify the RAW lumen of a light source.
To calculate EFFECTIVE lumen, factors such as diffuser thickness, lamp distance from the diffuser,
beam angle and electrical losses in lamp output need to be considered.
