In the Porsche world, every detail matters. From vehicle technology to the care devoted to maintenance, precision, reliability and an unwavering focus on quality are essential values.
These principles also define Erre Esse’s Porsche Centre Turin, established in 2001 and now a reference point for enthusiasts of the brand.
As part of the service area renovation, 3F Filippi contributed to a lighting project for a 1,100 m² workspace, where light plays an essential role in supporting technicians’ daily work.
The aim was to create efficient, uniform and reliable lighting, suited to the requirements of a specialist workshop and designed to maintain high performance over time.
In an automotive workshop, every activity calls for care and precision. From maintenance operations to technical inspections, operators need suitable lighting conditions to see components clearly and carry out each task correctly.
At Porsche Centre Turin, the lighting design focused on even light distribution across workstations, providing average illuminance of over 700 lux on the working plane.
Careful luminaire positioning and generous spacing between fittings made it possible to reduce the number of light points without compromising uniformity.
Light thus becomes a practical tool supporting precision and quality workmanship.
In a technical environment with demanding daily operations, luminaire selection must take account not only of lighting performance but also of durability and service life.
Beta 500 was chosen for the main lighting in the service area, in its 150 W configuration with DALI control and maintained emergency lighting.
Its robust construction and IP66 protection rating provide a high level of protection against dust ingress and powerful water jets, particularly valuable features in a working environment such as a workshop.
The project also includes 3F Linda, likewise in a maintained emergency version, and 3F Six to complete the lighting of the relevant areas.
Different solutions united by the same goal: reliability, operational continuity and low maintenance requirements.
Effective lighting design is not measured by light levels alone, but also by how well the light is distributed throughout a space.
In the Erre Esse workshop, all luminaires were selected with a 4000 K colour temperature to provide consistent neutral-white light throughout the working area.
Another key feature is the ability to adjust the lighting via DALI, adapting artificial light to available daylight and the activities being carried out.
The combination of distribution, uniformity and control creates functional working conditions while balancing lighting performance with energy management.
A Porsche workshop brings technical expertise, innovation and attention to detail together every day. Its lighting must meet those same high standards.
The project at Porsche Centre Turin shows how careful lighting design can enhance the functionality of a space, giving professionals suitable working conditions and dependable solutions over time.
With Beta 500, 3F Linda and 3F Six, 3F Filippi met the service area’s needs through a project combining strength, uniform lighting and flexible control.
Because the quality of every job also depends on the conditions in which it is carried out.
And on the light that makes it possible.
