Environmental simulations in climate test chambers allow us to
measure the effects of temperature and humidity on our products in a
controlled manner.
Climatic testing is required to ensure that our luminaires will
perform to standard
under the climatic conditions they will encounter in service use.
Materials can deteriorate over time, ageing prematurely due to either
high or low temperature extremes, while humid conditions may lead to
condensation which can be damaging to electronic components.
Our climate test chambers have a test space of up to 1,500
litres. They are used to undertake heat tests of up to +180°C, cold
tests of down to -75°C and humidity examinations in a range from 15%
to 98%.
Here
we are able to reproduce the effect on our luminaires of a wide range
of temperature and humidity levels, including extreme stress parameters
such as rapid temperature change. The
accurate simulation of authentic environmental conditions speeds up the
research into new materials and improves the quality and reliability of
our products.
