The rules for lighting industrial premises are slightly different from the lighting of a residential building. The decisive factor here is not the appearance of the lamps, and not how they fit into the design interior, but the practicality and illumination of the workplace. PSX-60 lamps are traditionally used to create comfort in workshops and in warehouses. There is, perhaps, no more recognizable luminaire for production in the vast expanses of the Russian Federation than PSX.
And this popularity, despite the constant appearance of new lighting, does not decrease. The reason for this is tremendous versatility, simplicity of design and at the same time compliance with rather strict sanitary and fire safety standards. Moreover, the PSX-60 Eurodesign lamp, which has been on sale recently, copes well with the lighting of corridors and stairs of office buildings, without spoiling the appearance of the premises.
Work lighting requirements
The requirements for lighting jobs for different industries vary significantly. So, you can not compare lighting requirements, for example, at the warehouse and in the operating room of the surgeon. Illumination of a certain area is usually measured in Lux. For different working conditions and requirements vary:
- illumination of sites in the open air provides an intensity of 20 to 50 Lux;
- corridors, passages, other rooms not used for any kind of work, illuminate 100 ... 200 Lx;
- warehouses, galleries on which goods are transported, other rooms and types of work that do not require special attention - 200 ... 500 Lx;
- premises with the complexity of the work of the middle class - 300 ... 750 Lx;
- high-class work - 500 ... 1000 Lx;
- if increased demands are made on the work of workers, the lighting should be - 750 ... 1500 Lx;
- special requirements - 1000 ... 2000 Lx;
- types of work for special purposes - more than 2000 Lx.
Advantages of the PSX lamp
What characteristics make PSX-60 lamps so popular?
- Simplicity of design. On the base of non-meltable plastic, using threaded fasteners, all components are installed: the E27 cartridge on the bracket, the block for connecting to the power wires, all this is covered with a glass cap (refraction housing), which is fixed using ordinary screws.
- Simplicity of assembly, disassembly, repair and connection: almost all work is carried out using one single tool - a flat screwdriver.
- Despite the simplicity of the design, PSX-60 luminaires have good protective characteristics: due to good sealing, this lighting device can be used both in rooms with explosive atmospheres and in objects with high humidity, and also in the open air in any weather conditions.
- The absence of any special lighting element (the lamp is equipped with a universal E27 lampholder) makes it possible to use both conventional incandescent lamps, energy-saving devices, and very economical LED lamps.
Household use
In everyday life, PSX-60 lamps are used, as a rule, in rural areas to illuminate buildings and premises for agricultural purposes or in summer cottage construction. Here is a list of options for their most frequent use:
- barn and sheds with a large combustible load (a bursting or exploding light bulb will not cause a fire due to a glass cap);
- baths and other rooms with high humidity (for example, cellars and cellars);
- Illumination of garden paths, private car parks, and other outdoor areas can also be arranged using the PSX-60 lamp (reviews by summer residents are most flattering).
Varieties
Depending on the purpose of the room PSX-60 has two main modifications:
- PSX-60 NBP 01-60 - for agricultural common areas, available without seals and protective mesh ;
- PSX-60M UZ - for rooms with additional requirements of protection and fire safety - has a seal between the diffuser and the body, a metal or plastic mesh, the input of wires is made through a rubber or silicone seal.
