Light generator placementLight generators produce heat. Correctventilation is therefore very important,particularly for generators in closedcompartments.Closed light generator compartmentsare air-tight, which means there mustbe enough space to allow natural heattransmission through surfaces. Surfacesshould not be insulated. The air volume(m³) must always be as recommended.In compartments where the air volume islower than recommended, the thermalrise of hot air is utilised to remove heatso that it does not recirculate inside.The hot air must be directed towards anoutlet, preferably via a flexible tube.Heat is removed via cabinet and airgrilles. A fan can be installed if additionalventilation is required.In exceptionally small compartments, thelight generator must always be directlyconnected to the outside. Air intake andoutlet must be separate. Heat is guidedout of the compartment through a flexibletube. It can exit via a louvred grille.Particularly in small compartments,air flow conditions should be tested inadvance.There is minimal noise or vibration froma Roblon light generator, and any residualnoise or vibration can be further reducedby fitting a sound-absorbing material tothe compartment’s inner surface or to aplate underneath the generator. Soundinsulation conserves heat, so testing isrecommended.Generators must be easily accessible sothat fans and filters can be dusted andlamps changed effortlessly. Electricalexpertise is not required to change a lampor a filter. Air filters must be checkedand cleaned regularly. Service manualinstructions must always be followed.PAGE 16-17’LED has a life time of30,000 hours but then youhave to change every lightfitting, which can be comparedto replacing the entireinstallation. As LED is not afully-developed technology,you can’t be sure you will getthe same light and colour withreplacement fittings. Withfibre optics, you only haveto change one central bulbin a light generator that’ssupplying lots of light points.It’s simple to change onebulb, and you get the exactsame light and colour. Andonce you’ve changed the bulba few times, you’ve surpassedthe life time of LED withouthaving to change the entireinstallation.’Jesper KongshaugLighting DesignerCopenhagen, Denmark
Fibre harness integrationRoblon fibre harnesses can be run, unseen,through cabinet cavities, through wall, flooror ceiling cavities, and through track casing.Roblon fibre optic <strong>lighting</strong> solutions arehighly customisable. They can be integratedretrospectively into existing display cases orinto new cases during the design phase. Theycan be seamlessly integrated into displayniches and into table-top, free-standing,built-in and wall-mounted display cases,regardless of case size, shape or material.The bending radius depends on the fibredimensions and whether PMMA or glassfibre is used. The exact bending radiusfor any given fibre can be looked up inRoblon’s main catalogue, available onwww.roblon.com.Roblon fibre harnesses are subject to thehighest quality control. For example, everysingle Roblon PMMA fibre is individually testedbefore being released from the factory.When designing <strong>lighting</strong>, Roblon recommendsthe use of a prototype in order to test underrealistic conditions.The integrated solution is delivered ready forinstallation. Electrical skills are not requiredfor installation or maintenance.
