Every project has to pass a test.
Before becoming a luminaire ready for installation, every lighting solution goes through a fundamental phase of measurements, checks and controls.
This is where what has been designed is truly put to the test.
Performance, reliability, resistance and light behaviour cannot be assessed on paper alone. They must be measured, compared and verified under controlled conditions.
For Sàvena28, this process is an essential part of the development path.
Designing a luminaire means defining materials, components, geometries, light distributions and performance.
But the project does not end when the product takes shape.
Every choice must be validated through specific tests that verify whether the real behaviour of the luminaire matches the objectives defined during development.
This is the step that turns a designed solution into a measurable and reliable one.
For Sàvena28, robustness, efficiency and quality of light are among the key elements around which the product has been developed. The family is designed to provide high protection against dust, impacts and moisture, with body and screen engineered to work together as a robust, resistant structure.
One of the key instruments in photometric verification is the goniophotometer.
In the 3F Filippi photometric laboratory it is used to measure precisely how the light emitted by a luminaire is distributed in space.
In simple terms, it shows how much light is emitted and in which directions.
This makes it possible to check whether the light distribution predicted during design corresponds to the actual behaviour of the product.
The measurements also make it possible to generate photometric curves and files for use in the main lighting design software, turning the luminaire’s behaviour into concrete data that designers can use.
For a product such as Sàvena28, this kind of control is particularly important because light management is one of the distinctive elements of the project.
The screen with differentiated prismatic structure is designed to ensure uniformity, visual comfort and controlled light distribution even in a typically diffuse luminaire.
The quality of a luminaire is not only about the light it produces.
A product intended for industrial, logistics, retail or service applications must maintain its expected performance over time and withstand different operating conditions.
For this reason, the 3F Filippi Testing and Inspection Laboratory carries out specific tests on luminaire behaviour.
The checks cover thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental aspects, with the aim of validating the design and verifying compliance with relevant standards and regulations.
For Sàvena28, the range includes features such as IP66, IK10, impact resistance up to 20 J, ENEC compliance and SAFE FLICKER classification in the available configurations.
These figures are not simply codes to be listed on a datasheet, but the outcome of a design and verification process.
For those designing a lighting system, reliable data means less uncertainty.
An accurate photometric curve allows the behaviour of light to be simulated correctly.
Verified efficiency data allows the system to be sized more precisely.
An IP or IK rating helps select the product according to actual environmental conditions.
Technical quality therefore does not come from the sum of individual features, but from the ability to measure, verify and make them predictable.
This is what allows a luminaire to become a true design tool.
The claim Born to last expresses the philosophy behind Sàvena28.
But for a product to be truly designed to last, it must first prove that it can.
Tests, photometric verification, resistance trials and controls therefore become an integral part of the project.
Every result confirms a choice.
Every measurement helps improve the product.
Every test reduces the gap between what was imagined and what the luminaire will actually be able to deliver in use.
Because innovation is not limited to designing a solution.
It measures it. Verifies it. Puts it to the test.
