Shielding angle

What always needs to be avoided with lamps is a glare due to excessive lights. Among other things, this can occur if the so -called shielding angle is not right. Bloating due to high luminous density should be avoided in lamps, which, among other things, is achieved by the correct shielding angle.

Housing parts, slats, grids, opal or prismatic covers and intestinal reflectors prevent direct glare. The shield angle describes the angle between the horizontal and a vertical from the edge of the light to the edge of the lamps and influences visual comfort. An incorrect angle can cause direct fading.

Especially on workplaceWhere precise work is necessary, DIN EN 12464-1 defines a minimum abdress angle. A larger angle reduces glare effects and reflections, while an angle that is too tight makes the lamp visible and impairs visual comfort.
