The laboratory of the European Novatech company, which manufactures high-precision plastic parts, uses LED lighting Snaggi. We have replaced the original, obsolete fluorescent bulbs with LED “sTube 1W” tubes. This led to significant energy savings and a truer colour rendering, which exceeded expectations.
The colour of samples is often evaluated in the laboratory. Under fluorescent lighting, colour perception was limited, and thus in disputable cases, workers were forced to go outside the lab and expose the samples to daylight. With Snaggi LED lighting, everything can now be reliably assessed on site. We consider the improved working environment through the use of LED lighting technology an obvious bonus.
Measuring Philips fluorescent tubes versus the Snaggi sTube
Place of measurement 1: Philips 550 lux, Snaggi 590 lux => increase 7%
Place of measurement 2: Philips 640 lux, Snaggi 690 lux => increase 8%
Place of measurement 3: Philips 560 lux, Snaggi 590 lux => increase 5%
Place of measurement 4: Philips 480 lux, Snaggi 530 lux => increase 10%
