We are completing our new development and testing centre

The centre is taking shape as technology moves in

The main construction work on the building has been completed. Work is now continuing inside, where we are preparing individual work areas and gradually installing measurement, development and testing equipment. Once the equipment is in place, we will bring our key development activities together under one roof – from the initial design through to verification of the final solution.

From optical design to precise measurement

One of the centre’s core areas of expertise will be the development of our own optical systems. Precise optical design will enable us to tailor light distribution to specific applications, improve visual comfort and reduce both glare and unwanted light spill into the surrounding environment. At the heart of the photometric laboratory will be two goniophotometers, including a mirror-type goniophotometer manufactured by LMT. These instruments will allow us to accurately measure luminous intensity distribution, compare calculated results with actual measurements and rapidly evaluate different optical designs. The centre’s testing capabilities will also include photobiological safety assessments and testing of the mechanical, climatic and photometric properties of luminaires.

Development closely integrated with in-house manufacturing

By directly linking development, prototyping, measurement and in-house manufacturing, we will be able to put development results into practice more quickly and create solutions for cities and public spaces, road and rail infrastructure, industry, sports facilities, tunnels and other demanding applications. This will give lighting designers and investors greater confidence that the proposed solutions meet the actual requirements of their projects and that the stated performance parameters are supported by accurate measurements and verification. We will also be able to oversee the entire process – from design and development through prototyping and testing to manufacturing and implementation.

The new centre marks another step forward in our development as a European technology company specialising in professional lighting.
