The provision of professional data is vitally important for companies who wish to compete successfully in the increasingly sophisticated lighting market. In all areas of luminaire sales, specifiers and buyers are demanding full and guaranteed photometric data. With Health and Safety legislation for VDT areas in force, the ability to offer independent verification of CIBSE LG3 categories becomes vital.
Our aim is to supply, in a trouble free and fast response package all the data that you will require to market and support your products. Based in our Wolverhampton laboratory is our facility, which can be used for testing all types of luminaires from display lighting up to large floodlights. Our data collection system is totally flexible, we can record any number of intensity measurements to take account of any data presentation format. We have a data collection programme which allows measurement of both 10° (UK) azimuth data steps and 22.5° (European) azimuth data steps.

Next to the photometric section is our 250 m workshop and luminaire test centre where samples are prepared for test, this area also contains our facilities.
The heart of 42 Partners, our Design and Data Processing section. Here test data is analysed and processed into reports which are issued to our customers. Our luminaire designers rely on having a top class test facility on hand to verify designs from models produced in our workshop.
