Industry has special requirements -including when it comes to light. This is why LEDVANCE equipped the production facility of the Italian Centro Carni Company with innovative LED DAMP PROOF SPECIAL luminaires that reliably harmonise energy efficiency, employee comfort and food safety, even under difficult conditions.

The Centro Carni Company specialises in the processing and trading of beef. A new lighting solution was required for the production facilities in Tombolo in northern Italy. This had to be environmentally friendly, comply with the hygiene and safety requirements of HACCP, IFS Food and BRC standards, and also meet the demanding conditions of industrial production while optimising the working environment for employees.

The company commissioned LEDVANCE to develop and implement a new lighting solution. The main reason for this was LEDVANCE's holistic approach to lighting, which reflects a comprehensive understanding of the close interdependence of environmental, safety and human factors in modern industrial environments. 

Accordingly, the experts from LEDVANCE equipped the Centro Carni Company's production facility with a total of 250 DAMP PROOF SPECIAL 1500 LED luminaires following an in-depth consultation with the customer.

With a high luminous flux of 6,500 lm, a luminous efficacy of 130 lm/W and a beam angle of 120°, the DAMP PROOF SPECIAL luminaires ensure optimum, uniform illumination.

Together with glare reduced to a minimum, this creates ideal, safe and pleasant lighting conditions for employees. The LED luminaires used are also equipped with IP67 protection and IK06 impact resistance, are resistant to ammonia corrosion and, with their fully sealed PMMA structure, meet the standards of the international quality certifications IFS (International Food Standards) and BRC (British Retail Consortium) as well as the HACCP requirements (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points). With up to 100,000 switching cycles, a rated service life of up to 80,000 hours (L70/B50), a five-year product guarantee and energy savings of up to 55% (compared to luminaires that use fluorescent lamps), DAMP PROOF SPECIAL luminaires also set sustainable standards in terms of energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.

The Centro Carni Company, which operates in the meat processing industry, was looking for an energy-efficient lighting solution for its production facility in Tombolo, northern Italy, which would also fulfil the quality and safety requirements of leading food standards such as HACCP or IFS Food

With this in mind, LEDVANCEequipped the production rooms with 250 DAMP PROOF SPECIAL LED luminaires, which significantly improve the quality of light for the employees, meet all the required safety standards for use in the food industry and at the same time significantly reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs.
