IEC 60598-2-5 Luminaires - Part 2-5: Special Requirements - Projectors

The IEC 60598-2-5 standard published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) describes requirements for projectors for use with electric light sources at supply voltages not exceeding 1000 Volts.

No major technical changes were made in the last update of this standard. The main change made is the clarification of requirements for the glass breaking test. Mechanical stress in floodlights is similar to mechanical stress in luminaires for road and street lighting. This standard therefore includes an update to bring the mechanical and refractive test requirements on flat and curved glass into line with the IEC 60598-2-3 standard.

For the purposes of this standard,

• The term projector lighting refers to the illumination of a scene or an object, usually by projectors, to significantly increase its brightness relative to its surroundings. The difference in illumination between the subject and its surroundings can alternatively be achieved by color.
• The term projector refers to the projector lighting fixture. A projector can be for exterior or interior use, or both.

Floodlights are wide-beam, high-intensity artificial light. They are often used to illuminate outdoor playgrounds when holding an outdoor sporting event in low light conditions. More focused genres are often used as stage lighting in live performances such as concerts and plays.

The use of projectors can be for outdoor lighting and indoor lighting. Among them, outdoor, according to usage, landscape lamp, courtyard lamp, street lamp, contour lamp, lawn lamp and similar purposes. Mainly, the waterproof level of outdoor lamps is generally IP65 must be protected against water spray from any angle, and IP68 absolutely no dust ingress, and waterproof, because the outdoor weather is unpredictable, and the floodlights can be flooded with light rain, heavy rain, rainstorm and even underwater . If the waterproofing measures of these lamps are not in place and cause damage, the application effect is very weak.

Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides testing services for projectors for the special requirements of luminaires, within the scope of the IEC 60598-2-5 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
