R&D engineering
CONTINUOUS RESEARCH
& INNOVATION
Delta Light has been at the forefront of
lighting technology for over 30 years, and
continues to push its boundaries, both in
interior and exterior lighting. Our invest-
ment in R&D, production and innovation
aims to deliver outstanding luminaires,
fusing contemporary design with high-qual-
ity materials, advanced engineering, the
very best performance and a longterm
lifespan.
The lighting industry is constantly changing
and evolving. We consider this both to be a
challenge and an opportunity. It fascinates
us to keep on bringing new designs and
lighting solutions. You could consider it
a passion to surprise and inspire people
around the world. We start from our own
in-house design team, but also love to
explore common grounds with architects and
designers, coming from different industries,
exceeding the essence of collaboration. Delta
Light’s extensive R&D team is constantly
on the look-out for the trends of the future,
both in terms of design and use of mate-
rials, without losing sight for the power
of imagination. Its creative statement is
confirmed by the opinion of several expert
panels, resulting in a number of prestigious
awards such as IF Design Award, Good
Design Award, Red Dot Design Award and
many others.
SMART DESIGN
We are focused on the details. The looks,
how a fixture moves, how it can be speci-
fied and installed, the ease of enjoying the
light and so much more. With a surprising
visual simplicity, our products are the result
of an extensive design and prototyping
process, fusing advanced technology with
timeless design and sustainable materials.
STATE OF THE ART DEVELOPMENT
An important feature in Delta Light’s creative
process is the use of state of the art develop-
ment techniques. The intensive use of 3D
printing, early stage FMEA (Failure Mode
and Effect analysis), goniophotometry and
in-house third party recognized lab (SMT
/ CTF / satellite data acceptance / BELAC
accreditation) result in a fast, efficient and
first time right development process. As
such, an essential attribute in the com-
pany’s short idea-to-market philosophy.
Throughout the entire production process
Delta Light distinguishes itself by handling
the strictest quality parameters, to ensure
products and services are designed and pro-
duced to exceed customer requirements.
Every step in the production process has a
routine quality procedure, covering both
product quality and testing. Each product
that leaves Delta Light, has been inspected
and tested thoroughly, resulting in minimal
returns and maximum efficiency. Product
quality and safety testing according to
the international IEC standards is done
in our company owned accredited Delta
Light Laboratory. The close cooperation
with our certifying partner SGS-CEBEC®
leads to CE, ENEC and CB certifications
for European and IEC member countries
(http://members.iecee.org/). The labo-
ratory also covers the testing of products
for the North American market by being
certified as a level 4 satellite laboratory for
INTERTEK®. This allows us to obtain the
cETLus listing for our products. Our light
lab is ILAC / BELAC accredited resulting
in the highest possible level of world-wide
acceptance.
ADVANCED OPTICS
Delta Light’s team of engineers and optic
experts is on a continuous quest to match
the company’s credo for design with ener-
gy-efficiency and optimal quality of light.
Delta Light’s outdoor range is ready to meet
the needs of today’s landscape design and
illuminate with impact. We offer different
precision light distributions to fulfil various
requirements, with high uniformity, for
demanding outdoor applications. CAD-
engineered and precision manufactured
lenses deliver a tightly controlled light
distribution while reducing light pollution to
an absolute minimum. The variety of optics,
beams and other features enable designers
to meet the various needs in landscaping
illumination, both in public and private
space… from staging of buildings to high-
lighting decorative elements, create scenic
outdoor settings, lighting up trees to staging
of pathways, terraces and much more.
OUTSTANDING QUALITY
The development of high-quality LED’s has
become one of Delta Light’s core compe-
tencies. Our LED modules are designed
for service lives exceeding 50,000 operat-
ing hours. After this period has expired,
the module is not ruined; it continues to
function, and still shines with at least 90
% of itsinitial brightness. As luminaire
designers and manufacturers, we always
strive to create the best possible thermal
conditions in the luminaire, to ensure
that LED’s operate in the best possible
way. From the design of the LED circuit
boards and heat sink, to the selection of
materials, to the assembly process and
installation techniques… all is engineered
to reach optimal service life and maximum
efficiency. We partner with the best sup-
pliers in the world to ensure a consistent
LED selection, in order to ensure colour
uniformity in time and across different
product ranges. A minimum of MacAdam
2 is a standard throughout the collection.
HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS &
PROTECTIVE FINISHING
Delta Light pre-treatment and powder
coating.
Delta Light luminaires for both indoor and
outdoor are produced using a proprietary
process based on selected base materials
and finishes to give the user the pleasure
to enjoy their presence in- and outside the
architecture for a very long time.
The applied pre-treatment and finish on
our products is the result of intensive
research, testing and setting up an inhouse
surface protection installation.
Especially the quality of our outdoor
range with respect to corrosion protection
can be assured based on a typical surface
protection and finish deployed in the
following 5 topics :
1. Basic materials (Alloy)
2. Pre-treatment: Titanium based
non-organic conversion layer
3. Powder Coating
4. Hardware
5. Process Control
This dedicated treatment is even reinforced
