How to check compliance?

It’s with DIN meter

Have you achieved LUX level in your facility?

The struggle between light and cold is an on-going issue in the cold storage industry Temperatures in cold stores range from 0 to 15 degrees while freezing rooms can go as low as –40 degrees Celsius. Therefore, lamps, operating gear and luminaires need to meet higher requirements for operating conditions.

LED light sources, on the other hand, consume less energy, need no lamp replacement, produce less heat and ignite immediately. They also lose less light compared to many conventional light sources. Finally, the low ambient temperature increases LED light source and operating gear lifetimes significantly. With LEDs, lighting quality is no longer compromised, it is enhanced.

Type of area	Lux-level (Em)	Glare rating (UGRL)	Uniformity (U0)	Colour rendition (Ra)	Specific requirements
Store and stockrooms	100	25	0.40	60	200 if continuous occupied.
Dispatch packing handling areas	300	25	0.60	60

1. The UGR rating helps to determine how likely a luminaire is to cause discomfort to those around it. Following are the UGR rating according to industries –

UGR ≤ 16	Technical drawing
UGR ≤ 19	Reading, writing, training, meetings, computer-based work
UGR ≤ 22	Craft and light industries
UGR ≤ 25	Heavy industry
UGR ≤ 28	Railway platforms, foyers




2. Uniformity can be expressed by division of minimum bright level to average bright level in the bright field. It is represented by U0. Uniformity value greater than 0,60 is recommended in working areas. Because, above this level, the change in light levels cannot be sensed by people and that makes them comfortable. Proper lighting of the environment also helps employees work more comfortably when looking at the computer screen.

3. Color rendition is the term used to describe the degree to which an object or surface color seems "normal" when viewed under artificial light.
