Decision Support
Compare application fit—not only specifications.
The comparison table highlights when a feature matters and which project information changes the decision.
| Comparison | What to evaluate | Related decision |
|---|---|---|
| Hygienic vs standard industrial lighting | Cleanability, surfaces, interfaces, contamination and maintenance | Application suitability |
| IP65 vs IP69K | Cleaning method, pressure, distance, temperature and mounting | Protection path |
| Integrated vs surface-mounted lighting | Equipment interface, space, wiring, replacement and service access | Installation architecture |
| Kitchen vs food processing lighting | Heat, grease, moisture, hygiene and cleaning intensity | Product family selection |
Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers for common project questions.
Start with a concise answer, then use the related guides and product paths to review the project in more detail.
What is hygienic lighting?
Hygienic lighting is designed for environments where cleanability, sealed construction, contamination control and maintenance access are important.
Is IP69K always required for food processing lighting?
Not always. The required protection level depends on cleaning method, pressure, distance, temperature, installation position and verified product documentation.
What information should be reviewed before selecting kitchen lighting?
Review the kitchen zone, heat exposure, steam, grease, cleaning method, mounting position, service access and project documentation needs.
