The reggiani choice
The good Light

Efficient and safe lighting with no photobiological hazard.
The REGGIANI LED LUCE 14W/16W/26W luminaires have been certified as an “EXEMPT GROUP” in compliance with the EN 62471:2008 safety standard.
This result is a guarantee of the maximum safety of REGGIANI LED LUCE in any setting, with no restrictions. Once again, research and innovation, combined with top quality materials have enabled Reggiani to construct a top quality, efficient and safe, cutting-edge Luminaire.

In recent years, the development of LED technology has definitely revolutionised the lighting market. Power LEDs with their high luminous emission mean this technology can be used not just for indicator lamps but also for lighting. The result is a varied but particularly confused supply on the market and if it is not backed by suitable information, users may be driven to purchase low-efficiency products or luminaires that may present photobiological hazard.
IEC and CIE have worked together on the following safety standard:

EN62471 (IEC62471) Photobiological safety of lamps and lamp systems. As a result, the products that incorporate LEDs and that fall within the Low Voltage Directive field of application must also satisfy the requirements set out in this standard, including classification of the RISK GROUP (non-compliant products issued into the market can not be certified with the CE mark, making them unmarketable and the system using them noncompliant)
For the photobiological parameters (e.g. risk of photochemical retinal damage) of each risk group, wavelength-weighted emission limits have been defined as a basis for classification.
The individual risk groups are defined as follows:

Exempt group: Luminaires present no photobiological hazard
Risk Group 1: Luminaires present no hazard due to normal behavioural limitations of a person on exposure to a light source
Risk Group 2: Luminaires present no hazard due to the aversion response to very bright light sources or due to thermal discomfort
Risk Group 3: Luminaires present a hazard even for momentary or brief exposure. Use in general lighting service is not allowed
