Advanced Immersion Test
Devices are subjected to controlled pressures in a tank simulating deep water conditions. This test assesses resistance to liquid agents, ensuring that the devices maintain structural and functional integrity under the most extreme conditions.
IK test
The IK value indicates the degree of resistance to mechanical or accidental impacts of the external enclosures of electrical and electronic devices (with voltages below 72.5kV). The test is carried out by generating an increasing impact energy on one or more potentially vulnerable points of the enclosure for a minimum of 3 consecutive impacts. The test can be carried out using approved impactors applied to one of the following test instruments: spring impactor, pendulum hammer or vertical hammer. The result of the test can be considered positive if the product retains all structural and functional characteristics in such a way that it still complies with safety requirements.
Salt spray test
By reproducing an extreme high-salinity environment with an isopropyl alcohol mist, the behaviour of the materials is analysed in order to guarantee a product that can be installed in any outdoor environment.
UV test
This test verifies the resistance of materials to yellowing and deterioration caused by sunlight and UV radiation. We reproduce the irradiation of sunlight inside a dedicated chamber by inserting finished products or materials such as optics, plastics and cables for a period of a few months to two years.
Flow tests
This test defines the robustness of the lamp body by testing its mechanical strength to ascertain walkability and driveability requirements. The lamp body is subjected to stress by means of an oil piston exerting increasing pressure from 200 to 7500 kg. The test lasts 7 days and involves alternating push and release in one-minute cycles.
Pressure test
Pressure testing is a control and verification procedure used to assess the strength and integrity of such devices under environmental stress conditions. This test is particularly important to ensure the safety and reliability of lighting fixtures, especially those designed for use outdoors or in demanding environments.
Overvoltage test
The surge test is a test procedure to assess the ability of a lighting fixture to withstand sudden surges or spikes in the mains voltage. These surges can result from events such as lightning strikes, power failures or faults in the mains.
Photogoniometer
The photogoniometer is an instrument used to measure and evaluate the angular distribution of illumination produced by a light source or luminaire. This instrument is particularly useful for understanding how light is distributed in the surrounding space with respect to the light source.
