Protection against mechanical shock
Theimpactresistanceofaluminairedenestheprotectionofthe
luminaire against mechanical shock. The European standard EN 50102
denesthedegreesofprotectionagainstexternalmechanicalimpact
(IK code) and the method of testing. The luminaire housing should
withstandthedenedenergyofthemechanicalshockwithoutlosing
its electrical and mechanical safety, or the basic luminaire function.
Translated into a more practical implementation, this means that
after withstanding the shock, deformation of the mirror and housing
is allowed, although broken lamps, an unsafe electrical situation and
failuretomeetthespeciedIPclassicationsarenotpermitted.
The impact resistance is expressed as a group numeral, for instance
IK06, which is related to the impact energy.
All types of Philips luminaires have a minimum impact resistance of
0.2J.ThetableshowsthetenIKclassicationsandthedenedshock
energy expressed in joules. Notice that fully vandal-proof luminaires
are not available; vandal-protected (IK09) and vandal-resistant (IK10)
arethebestachievableclassications.

Ball impact resistance
For indoor sports halls ball-impact-resistant luminaires are essential.
As no European standards have been developed for this purpose,
PhilipshasclassiedtherelevantluminairesaccordingtotheGerman
DIN 18032. After the impact test according to this standard
(36 handballs targeted at a speed of 60 km/h) no damage of the
luminaire should have occurred and no loose particles should drop
down from the luminaire. The symbol for a ball-impact-resistant
luminaire is the football. Luminaires protected by a wire guard with a
grid width exceeding 60 mm are not to be used in tennis sports halls.

Safety distance
Intheapplicationofreectorlampsandluminaireswithnarrowbeam
distributions of a high intensity, a minimum distance between light
source and illuminated surface has to be ensured. This is to prevent
too high temperatures of the illuminated surface. Minimum values for
safetydistancesarespeciedontheluminairepacking.Thespecied
values must be considered as the shortest distances permitted
between light source and illuminated object or surface to ensure
long-lasting safe operation.
