בטיחות לפני הכל: דירוג אש TP(a) בדיפיוזרים (מפזרים) פריזמטיים UGR<19

כשבוחרים תאורה לחללים מסחריים, משרדים או מוסדות חינוך, השגת מדד סנוור נמוך (UGR<19) היא לרוב בראש סדר העדיפויות עבור נוחות ויזואלית. עם זאת, קיים מפרט בטיחות קריטי שמופיע לעיתים קרובות ב"אותיות הקטנות", אך חשיבותו שווה לכל היתר: תקנות בטיחות אש. עבור יצרני תאורה, הבנת ההבדל בין חומרי פוליקרבונט (PC) לפוליסטירן (PS) והאופן שבו הם משיגים […]

A Deep Dive into LED Diffusers and IK Ratings

When we design lighting for a space we often obsess over the lumens, the color temperature, and the energy efficiency. However, there is a crucial component that often goes overlooked until it cracks, yellows, or shatters: the LED diffuser. The diffuser is the shield. It is the interface between the raw, piercing light of the […]

The Importance of GWFI in Diffusers for Lighting: Safety and Compliance with IEC 60695-2-12

When designing LED lighting, engineers must balance optical performance, thermal stability, and fire safety. One critical indicator for safe material selection is the Glow-Wire Flammability Index (GWFI), a global standard used to evaluate a plastic’s resistance to ignition. At Hexatron, our optical-grade materials are tested and certified to meet IEC 60695-2-12 standards, ensuring both optical […]
