When it comes to solutions for laboratory lighting, the goal is often quite simple. The purpose of lighting is to provide adequate illumination. The issue of visibility is even more important for the tasks at hand. A few important issues.
1. General lighting should be recessed to avoid shadows
General lighting is the main source of illumination in the laboratory. It is usually on the ceiling. While there are several types of luminaires to choose from, the best option is to opt for recessed luminaires built directly into the ceiling. It is also an easy-to-clean option.
2. Focus your lumen output on task lighting
General lighting is seen as the most important in terms of lumen output and therefore needs to be the highest, whereas in laboratory lighting you want to focus your lumen output on task lighting. Task lighting can be used whenever a light source is needed in a specific lumen or color where an important task is being performed.
3. Choose vapor-tight luminaires
Some laboratories perform special analyzes. And during these analyzes, high vapors or high chemicals can be released into the environment. It is most important that the laboratory lighting fixtures used are resistant to the conditions they will be exposed to.
4. Shatterproof Glass Technology
It is obvious how important the tests carried out in laboratories are. Disruption of these assays by any external factor can cause irreversible errors. You can avoid such a problem by using lighting fixtures with tempered glass.
5. Keep color temperature consistent
It is to choose a cooler temperature rather than a warmer temperature with a higher CRI to ensure a proper color rendering. Another good idea is to keep the color temperature consistent throughout the entire space.
