Minimize cost, energy and maintenance with new lighting systems

摘要

Although the lighting field has seen many technological improvements over the last decade, many challenges remain for design teams working to specify the best technology systems for environmentally controlled environments. The biggest challenge is that there are no formal standards for cleanroom lighting, largely leaving the selection process up to whatever the specifier deems to be important and sufficient. There are, however, a great number of clean-space standards that have a direct impact on proper lighting selection and installation, the most widely recognized being ISO 14644-1, which establishes the acceptable levels of particulates for various classes of cleanrooms. And, there are a great number of regulatory and inspection agencies猻uch as the FDA for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries— that monitor and evaluate the cleanliness levels of lighting fixtures.
