The products used for illumination in the food industry must be shatterproof, easy to clean and they must be able to withstand pressure washing. The high room temperatures in bakeries, for example, also demand high performance from the luminaires.

For food industry facilities, we recommend the Prima Plus luminaire, which is HACCP compliant. As light sources, we recommend the shatterproof G4 and G5 LED tubes and the E3+ LED tube that has a glass body protected with a shatterproof plastic coating. With its ability to withstand high temperatures (+70°C), the G5 High Temp LED tube is the perfect choice for bakeries, among others.

When designing lighting for forest and paper industry facilities, it is important to ensure and prevent stroboscopic effects, which make parts moving at certain speeds look immobile. The effect is caused by insufficient or badly designed lighting and can lead to accidents. A steady light is paramount for creating a safe working environment in forest and paper industry facilities. The Valtavalo G-series LED tubes provide flicker-free illumination, which prevents dangerous situations, such as a saw blade looking completely immobile.

In addition to increased occupational safety, sufficient and high-quality lighting has been proven to promote occupational well-being and alertness at work, which means illumination has a direct effect on work efficiency as well.

For forest and paper industry facilities, we recommend the Prima plus or Prima trio luminaires paired with the flicker-free and extremely durable G-series LED light sources.

Metal industry processes often produce dust and fumes, so the luminaires in these facilities must be well-protected. Machining is a key process in the industry, and the facilities often feature a number of different lifting devices. Even though the number of luminaires to be installed with replaceable light sources is larger than with high-bay luminaires, for example, luminaires with replaceable light sources guarantee steadier light even in facilities with overhead cranes.

The luminaires have a long service life, and they are easy to maintain, which are important qualities in facilities where replacement and maintenance work are hard or expensive to carry out.

The Prima plus and Prima trio luminaires are protected against dust and fumes (IP66). They are easy to clean and can be installed both on the walls and the ceiling. Combined with these luminaires, the G series LED light sources to ensure hassle-free illumination for years to come. The G5 High Power LED tube is a particularly good choice for these kinds of facilities.

When designing lighting solutions for the electronics industry, the needs for stable light, high illuminance and glare prevention must be taken into account. In the electrical industry, the luminaires must be well-protected against dust and fine particles.

For high-quality lighting we recommend, for example, Teva slim, Prima plus and Prima trio, Beat and Pro. G-series LED tubes with long service lives are an ideal choice as light sources for these facilities.

Light regulates the physiology of livestock since it affects the melatonin production and circadian rhythm of the animals. Optimising the lighting in agricultural facilities can increase the well-being and productiveness of livestock. A common example is an increase in milk production of dairy cattle seen when illumination in animals’ housing is set at 16 hours of illumination and eight hours of lower light (night lighting).

For agriculture, we especially recommend the Prima Plus and Ancora luminaires, which are easy to clean, durable and well-protected (IP66/65). The Ancora model is also resistant to a variety of chemicals. Especially in livestock housing, the number of hours of use is large, which is why the G4 and G5 LED tubes with long service lives are an ideal choice as light sources for these facilities.

Aboard marine vessels, electrical and electronic devices are put to the test by the fluctuating voltage and frequency of the power system. The vibration caused by waves, the propulsion system, the engine, and sailing through ice in the winter are also challenging for lighting products. The luminaires must be able to handle the vibration without breaking or causing dangerous situations, like fires.

Due to their shock and vibration resistance, Valtavalo’s G-series LED light sources are an excellent choice for ships, both as retrofits and completely new installations. Their fully automatic manufacturing process ensures durable fittings, good compatibility of components and consistent quality.
Product recommendations: Mirko (corridors and other public spaces), Mandy (corridors, cabins), Uniqa (office spaces), Beat (dry storage, corridors and office spaces) and Prima plus (technical and outdoor spaces).
