The IEC 60598-2-2 standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) describes the requirements for recessed luminaires with electric light sources for operation at supply voltages up to 1000 Volts. This standard does not apply to air-handled or liquid-cooled fixtures.
The end of this standard No major technical changes were made in the update. The following major changes have been made that are necessary to maintain the consistency of subsequent versions of the first part that have been published since the previous version of this standard.
Recessed luminaires are lighting equipment usually found in a ceiling. Consisting of one or more translucent panels behind which light sources are positioned, these luminaires have the appearance of a practically seamless surface.
Recessed lighting is placed directly inside a ceiling, wall or other surface. Recessed luminaires consist of three main components, the enclosure, the floor and the bulb. The enclosure is the bulk of the luminaire that is concealed in the wall or ceiling and contains the luminaire's electrical connections. The trim is the decorative, visible portion of the luminaire and may contain baffles, reflectors or shades. The last component is the bulb, which is the light-producing part of the luminaire. Every recessed light uses a specific type of bulb. Halogen and incandescent bulbs produce bright, white light, but get quite hot. They also consume more energy than other light bulbs. Compact fluorescent bulbs are energy efficient and produce very little heat, but contain traces of mercury. LEDs can be the best recessed light bulb choice. In recent years, the use of LED bulbs, which provide clean lighting with low energy, has been increasing.
Recessed luminaires are placed in the sensitive slot prepared in the ceiling. The luminaires emit light downwards through this slot in the ceiling. The openings of the recessed luminaires must be prepared before assembly and the dimensions of the openings must be compatible with the luminaires. Thanks to the flush mounting, the luminaires are virtually concealed and placed flush with the ceiling.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides test services for recessed luminaires for special requirements of luminaires, within the scope of IEC 60598-2-2 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment. .
