Task focused lighting in the industry

High visual comfort. Less energy.

Industrial buildings consume a large amount of energy worldwide. While lighting solutions are one of the main energy consumers in buildings, they are also key to enable one of the most important human senses for work: Our sense of vision is essential for a safe and efficient work environment.
This is why reducing energy and human needs should be balanced. The recently renewed EN12464-1 supports this concept and demands task specific lighting. Adjusting the lighting to specific zones within a production hall helps to save energy - like in our VR-case up to 40 %. Without compromises for the human needs.

Adapted light solution to zones thanks to different CRAFT versions

The zoning approach for lighting design starts with an examination of where the working areas are located and of what happens in these horizonal, inclined or vertical planes. Our TECTON system offers high flexibility by integrating different luminaires. In this case we use the CRAFT high-bay luminaire in three versions according to the idea of zoning.
Keeping the new standards EN12464-1 for these task focused approach in mind: With reduced glare, high uniformity and with low energy consumption thanks to a high luminous efficacy and a dimming solution.

• 
  
  CRAFT with narrow beam between the shelves concentrating on the vertical planes as working zones.
• 
  
  CRAFT with wide beam to bring the light uniformly on the extended horizontal working zone.
• 
  
  CRAFT as very wide beam version for the general illumination of the subordinated zones and transit areas for lower ceiling heights.

Last but not least: The whole planning approach is realized in the unique design language of the CRAFT family.

Controlled Glare Optic

The CRAFT II product family also offers a very elegant solution to a common problem in all high-bay luminaires: their glare or perceived glare.
This occurs for example in a logistics setting or in sport – especially in any situations in which people look up and directly into the light from a high-bay luminaire. For these situations, Zumtobel has developed an innovative “controlled glare optic”.
An integrated louvre enhances the appearance of the CRAFT II performance or CRAFT II plus luminaires and creates two additional light distribution options: “narrow beam controlled glare” and “wide beam controlled glare”. These are extremely effective in reducing glare to a minimum and enable a UGR<19.
