Emergency Lighting Assembly with Self-Test Function
Luminaires with an emergency lighting function must be regularly checked
for proper functioning of the required emergency lighting components.
This can be done manually, e.g. by personal inspection, centrally by a
monitoring installation or by emergency lighting chips with an automatic
self-test.
PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING supplies emergency lighting chips with a
self-test function with the following characteristics: self-tests are carried out
according to pr IEC 62034 weekly (function test) and annually (service life
test), with the function and service life test being adjusted to requirements
and carried out at a risk-free time so as to minimise risks from the test itself.
A simple activation function ensures synchronisation of the tests and the
automatic initiation of activation checks. A bicoloured LED for status display
serves to show the test results. The self-test of the emergency lighting chip
checks the following functions specifically: state of the accumulator, state
of the lamp, charge state, weekly function test, annual service life test.
Individual Battery for Emergency Lighting Chips
The accumulators for supplying the emergency lighting chips (individual
batteries) must be checked at regular intervals and at the end of their
useful life be exchanged for new, equivalent batteries. PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING
recommends changing the individual batteries after three years at most so
as to rule out malfunctions in an emergency and maintain the function of
the safety lighting. The appropriate replacement components are available
for the supplied luminaires with individual batteries.

The resources of nature are limited. PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING
implements this realisation by developing energy-efficient products and
the greatest attention is paid to their packaging, transport and recycling.
PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING has accomplished the transition to electric
ballasts. Magnetic ballasts are no longer a component of its product
programme. Further significant energy-saving potential lies in the use
and regulation of intelligent control technology. PERFORMANCE IN
LIGHTING sets store by sensors which detect daylight and motion and
thus regulate the amount of artificial light. By using electric ballasts
connected to building management systems, luminaires can be controlled
intelligently, which leads to considerable energy savings. Further energy-
saving potential lies in reflector technology. Using the latest materials
and procedures means light losses in the luminaire can be considerably
reduced and the light can be optimally directed. PERFORMANCE IN
LIGHTING employs metallised aluminium surfaces for downlights,
silver-metallised surfaces are used in louvers for T5 luminaires, and
special spherical facets have been developed for accented lighting. The
combination of efficient operating devices, optoelectronic light sources,
intelligent sensors and highly complex reflectors leads to energy-efficient,
long-lasting products which give the greatest possible consideration to the
environmental perspective.

INTERSEROH RECYCLING
Under Manufacturer No. 85444, PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING
has concluded a contract with INTERSEROH for the proper
recording, sorting and recycling of transport packaging.
This ensures that packaging at our clients’ premises is recorded
by INTERSEROH partners, the packaging material is recycled and all
requirements of the packaging directive are fulfilled.
Furthermore, PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING is registered
as a manufacturer with the German waste electrical
equipment register EAR, in implementation of European
Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE), under the following number:
WEEE-Reg. No. DE 27756601
All electric and electronic equipment brought into
circulation by PERFORMANCE IN LIGHTING is marked with the “crossed-
out dustbin” symbol with a bar denoting the limit date for putting into
circulation.
To our knowledge, our products contain no substances in concen-
trations or applications the putting into circulation of which in products
is forbidden in accordance with the applicable requirements of Directive
2002/95/EC (RoHS).
An environmental officer constantly examines further improvements,
and constant staff training courses round off the complete catalogue of
measures.
