The SGM iPQ lighting package consists of luminaires with unique LED engines designed to suit dynamic applications. It is this combination of narrow, medium, and wide-angle engines which delivers bright impactful results no matter how challenging the project.
It can be difficult to find luminaires suitable for conditions where substantial vibration is present. The introduction of LED sources has made the situation somewhat easier, as having solid state components mounted on a substrate is very different to having tungsten filaments or discharge sources in a vacuum.
Initially related to the IP code wherein a numerical rating was added to the end of an IP rating, the IK impact rating was made distinct from the IP code to measure the impact resistance of product in 1995. IEC 62262:2002 specifies impact protection ratings as part of the IK code.
UV degradation is a commonly overlooked characteristic when specifying products meant for permanent outdoor installation. Read on to understand better the fundamentals of ultraviolet light and how to select materials suitable for outdoor environments.
