Professional light planning to leave nothing in the dark
R. STAHL helps create standard-compliant, economical lighting solutions
Waldenburg – In addition to a broad portfolio of luminaires for almost all
purposes, R. STAHL can draw on profound expertise regarding lighting issues
as well as on explosion protection know-how. The manufacturer is therefore
able to provide comprehensive advice on application-specific light planning and
lighting systems calculations. Users can greatly benefit from this qualified
support, e.g. to learn the best ways to tap the huge savings potential of state-ofthe-art LED technology. In hazardous areas, light installations, replacements
and maintenance are especially challenging, since only luminaires that are
certified for use in these environments or have been especially protected for
these applications must be installed. Retrofit solutions are usually unsuitable,
because conventional explosion-proof linear luminaires featuring "increased
safety" (Ex e) or "non-sparking" (Ex nA) type of protection may not be operated
with LED retrofit luminaires. Moreover, energy-efficient upgrades must meet the
criteria laid down in the lighting guidelines DIN EN 12665, DIN EN 12464-1 and
2 and DIN EN 1838 (emergency lighting).

of economic lighting solutions in industrial applications and hazardous areas
To ensure the required illumination, a qualified lighting calculation must include
not only the illuminance (lx), but also further characteristics such as the
luminous flux specified in lumen (lm), the luminaire efficiency (lm/W), the
luminous flux per solid angle unit (cd), the beam angle and glare factor (UGR)
as well as the colour rendering. R. STAHL provides planners and plant

operators with the professional ezyLum software tool, which enables an exact
mapping of the room geometry, including relevant areas and objects. This
facilitates a precise determination of the placement, required light distribution
and luminous flux of luminaires. By comparing characteristics such as power
consumption, lifespans and maintenance intervals, users can identify a lighting
concept with a perfect purchase, maintenance and operating cost profile.
Moreover, complex special solutions can be developed and manufactured
according to custom specifications at the R. STAHL lighting competence centre
in Weimar, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2016.
