 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK

DISPEL THE GLOOM WITH

FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
T
he overall atmosphere this year has been gloomy. Most people across the world would like
to forget the year 2020 and wish that it had never happened. The COVID-19 pandemic with
millions infected and many dead, a struggling economy that is spiraling at an alarming pace
and lack of jobs coupled with millions of displaced workers returning to their villages with nothing
more than the clothes on their backs mean that next few quarters are going to be very tough.
Hospitality, aviation, retail, show-business are only some of the businesses that have been very
badly affected. The GDP de-growth of 26% in first quarter of this financial year is a clear indicator
as to where the economy is now and the long struggle it is going to take before things start to look
up for our country and our businesses.
Most of our members have taken various steps to cut operations costs and create guidelines and
frameworks for the way their organizations are going to function in the future. Working from home
has become the new normal and has provided a new way look at the way we work now. Many
organizations are urging most of their staff to continue to work from home which has greatly
reduced the need for office space. Many organizations are shifting to smaller office spaces, while
others are sharing their office space with others and still others are moving to business centres and
co-working environments. Many factories are working with very little labour and are forced to put in
longer hours, redefining the term "output per worker".
ELCOMA has also taken various actions in the light of this difficult situation. Our income for the
year would be severely impacted since no conferences or exhibitions are going to take place in the
near future. We have now shifted to an office that is one-third in size of our present office. ELCOMA
staff has agreed not to seek any salary increments this year and will take only half of their normal
bonuses this year.
But things cannot remain dark and gloomy forever. There is a new dawn after every dark night and
a silver lining to every grey cloud. Like always, human spirit and ingenuity will rise above all
adversity and we will bounce back stronger than before.
The festival of lights, Diwali, is round the corner. I hope that this Diwali brings cheer and goodwill
among all and like the victory of Lord Rama over Ravana, we are able to conquer the COVID
pandemic and its after-effects.
Wish you all a very Happy Diwali and a Happy New Year.

Thank you

 ELCOMA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

AN AATMANIRBHAR LIGHTING
INDUSTRY
T
he Lighting Industry in India has predominantly been making all products in India for more
than 70 years now. When LED Lighting was launched in 2012-13, it was a very low volume
business and like CFL, the industry thought that we would be able to make all these LED
products in India in the next two to three years. When the new government came to power in
2014, ELCOMA's Vision 2020 was shared with the then Power Minister, Shri Piyush Goel, who
was impressed by the program and wanted to implement it immediately. He wanted the Indian
Lighting Industry to complete the targets prepared for the year 2020 by 2017-18. In 2014, EESL
was asked to take on the task of distribution of LED Lamps on a large scale and started procuring
LED Lamps for distribution to urban and rural areas across India. At that time, the Industry was not
prepared to supply LED lamps at such a large scale and therefore had to rely on importing various
components for manufacturing of the LED Lamps.
To realise the vision of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” as envisioned by our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri
Narendra Modi, the Government has decided to promote production of all inputs in India itself.
As you all are aware ELCOMA being a proactive association, has already prepared a “Vision-
2024” document for the Indian Lighting Industry, with the aim of promoting “Make in India” for
lighting products and to also prepare the industry for exports. We are looking forward to executing
this vision in four stages spread over the next four years.
I am glad to note that most of our ELCOMA members have endorsed this plan and are ready to
align with ELCOMA to execute the government's vision.
I am confident, we will be able to provide high-quality, world class products, which besides
meeting all local standards will be well accepted globally. I am also confident that ELCOMA will be
able to create a robust export market for lighting industry from India.
The completion of 50 years of ELCOMA was celebrated on Video Conferencing on the 29th of
June 2020. The event was attended by a large number of ELCOMA members and well-wishers
who were all glad to be a part of such a momentous occasion. Though the event was celebrated
“virtually” due to the pandemic, I am sure we will have a grand celebration whenever the first
opportunity to have a physical get-together arises.
I wish all our members good health, and look forward to working towards making India a “shining
spot” of international lighting industry.
Best wishes for the festive season and a Happy New Year to all.

With best wishes

HARNESS LED TECHNOLOGY FOR

INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
In conversation with Mr Mathew Job, Chief Executive Officer,
Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd

10 OCT - DEC 2020 50 Illumi

umiNation
Nation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE

What is the Roadmap for lighting at
Crompton given that the company is also a
leading player in consumer products?
As a leading player in the consumer electrical
space, it is our endeavour at Crompton to
bring to the market, consumer relevant
propositions applying the latest technologies.
A recent example of this in lighting is our
introduction of Anti-bacterial lamps. This
range was developed based on deep
consumer insights and was realised by our
R&D team through intelligent application of
technology.
Going forward, we feel that there is
tremendous potential in the lighting business
if one is able to harness the evolving LED
technology to address consumer pain points.
“Connected lighting also provides
solutions for enhanced health and
wellbeing by control and tuning of lights
to the circadian rhythms of the human
body improving the overall health and
productivity of the people”
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
This will help mitigate the dangers of
commoditisation of the category.
How is Crompton looking to address the
opportunity offered by Connected Lighting
/ Intelligent lighting space?
Crompton has been at the forefront in the
Connected Lighting space. Our patented
streetlight automation system using
conventional technology has been in the
market for more than a decade. With the
technology shift to LED, the connected
lighting opportunities are immense.
In the outdoor applications of area lighting and
streetlighting, connected lighting solutions
provide enhanced energy saving options with
built-in intelligence. Intelligent health
monitoring of the fixtures enables automatic
fault detection and alarms thereby providing
enhanced safety to the citizens. Such systems
using various network platforms provide
remote and intelligent control options and
integrations with the smart city central
command centres. We have a strong
presence in this space.
The commercial and consumer space also
offers lot of opportunities for wired and
wireless connectivity options and integration
with building and facility management
systems, energy saving options with
intelligent sensors, remote controls and
device health monitoring. Connected lighting
also provides solutions for enhanced health
and wellbeing by control and tuning of lights to
the circadian rhythms of the human body
improving the overall health and productivity
of the people. The wired / wireless integration
and control of lights and other devices for
enhancing mood at homes or in commercial
spaces and for lighting up / control of building
facades is another space that we are engaged
in.
What kind of product portfolio are you
planning in the Connected Lighting /
Intelligent lighting space?
Our product portfolio in the connected lighting
space spans all the segments. In outdoor
space we have offerings for group and
CAPTAIN SPEAKS
individual control of street and area lights
using various network technologies and
platforms that are scalable for smart city
applications. For commercial connected
lighting space, we have offerings in PoE
(Power over Ethernet) as well as wireless
solutions using latest technologies like BLE
and RF including solutions for Human Centric
Lighting and Facility Management Systems.
Our product portfolio also includes various
advanced and other connected solutions for
professional and consumer lighting
applications including façade lighting, lighting
for health and wellbeing and mood lighting.
Do you believe that Human Centric
Lighting has a market in India? In the
future where do you see HCL applications
being used?
Human Centric Lighting is a relatively new
concept but has very pertinent use cases.
With an increased concern on health and
wellbeing coupled with the adverse
implications on circadian rhythms with
stretched working hours, increased work from
indoors and reduced sunlight exposures and
increasing stress levels, HCL would see
increased applications and use.
Would you like to comment on how the last
few decades have changed the lighting
industry and approach to business in
India?
The last few decades have seen drastic
changes in the lighting industry. The CFL
revolution in the late 90's and early 2000s
brought about huge changes in the lighting
industry especially in the consumer lighting
space. The huge energy saving potentials
helped shift the market from incandescent to
CFL thus bringing down CFL prices which
further accelerated the conversion in a
virtuous cycle. The lighting industry in the
country saw huge investments and capacities
built up to cater to the new needs.
Then came the LED revolution in the last
decade. This was a breakthrough and a
disruptive technology hitherto unseen in the
lighting industry. It offered clear benefits of
energy saving, long life and without the

mercury hazard that had characterised CFLs.
The early penetration was in the streetlighting
area, but the high costs were a huge deterrent
for scaling up.
The real game changer was the Government
of India initiatives with EESL's UJALA
program for LED bulbs and SLNP for LED
streetlights that changed the complete
industry landscape. Last few years saw the
economies of scale and continuous
technological changes leading to affordable
LED product prices which in turn scaled up the
demand. Newer application areas further
gave a boost to the demand. The Lighting
Industry witnessed the entry of many new
players and investments in manufacturing and
assembly of LED products. With very
impressive growth projections, the Industry
prospects started to look very bright. However,
the sharp rate of price erosion, increasing
competition, the quick technological changes,
presence of sub-standard and non-compliant
LED products are some of the challenges that
the Industry is facing currently.
The Indian consumer behaviour in the last
decade or so has changed a lot. How has
this effected your product portfolio and
sales channel?
Indian consumer has become more
demanding and very conscious of energy
saving. Product quality, performance and
value for money are critical parameters. The
Indian consumer is no longer is satisfied with
outdated products or technologies and
demands the latest and best at an affordable
price. Our Product portfolio is accordingly
tuned to meet these consumer needs.
E-commerce and modern retail are the new
channels that the consumer is increasingly
comfortable with. The sales channel
strategies and actions have to be accordingly
developed and executed.
In your opinion what role has EESL played
in the emergence of LED technology in
Indian lighting industry
EESL has played a very significant role in the
LED penetration in the Indian Lighting
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
Industry. The country witnessed one of the
quickest rates of LED adoption in the world.
With the UJALA and SLNP programs, EESL
led the way for large scale LED retrofitting
programs in the country resulting in
economies of scale and faster adoption of the
technology.
It is estimated that a large quantity of
products being sold in India are non-
compliant (non BIS certified) products.
How does this impact Crompton and what
kind of advocacy would you recommend
going forward?
Large presence of non-compliant products in
India is a matter of grave concern that the
Industry has been facing. This poses a huge
risk to the Indian consumer due to non-
compliance to the safety and performance
standards stipulated. The industry as well as
the government bodies should work towards
creating consumer awareness on the issue
and in parallel take steps to ensure that such
non-compliant products are not allowed to be
sold in the country.
How is Crompton addressing the
Institutional Sales space? Are government
and other large projects a big part of your
portfolio?
Historically, we have been a very strong player
in government sector and institutional sales.
We are working on 2 focus areas – (1) become
cost leaders and (2) develop innovative
products at the top end of the portfolio.
Would you like to share an anecdote or
incident related to your career that has
been inspiring or life-changing for you?
My first job was as a frontline salesperson.
This was when I learned about and faced a
real business environment. I learnt about the
tricks of the trade and quickly realised that the
typical Indian trader was very business savvy,
street-smart and uses an exceptional
business model. Many things I've been able to
achieve today are drawn from that experience
– selling light bulbs to retail stores.

SUCCESS MANUFACTURED IN INDIA

Illumination caught up with Mr. Ranbir Mehra, Director, Jaquar Lighting
for a chat about how manufacturing locally has been mantra for success at Jaquar

14 OCT - DEC 2020 50 IllumiNation

umiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE

Please tell us a bit about the LED Lighting
journey at Jaquar so far?
A brand best known in the confines of a
bathroom, 60-year old Jaquar is returning to
its roots as we seek to be much more. We are
a leading player in sanitaryware market, with
revenues of around Rs 3600 crores in last FY
and are targeting revenues in excess of $1 bn
in the near future.
Jaquar Lighting has comprehensive solutions
for all kind of lighting requirements - from
simple consumer products to complex
industrial solutions, we have an extensive
portfolio in each segment. All the products in
the Jaquar Lighting range offer advanced
energy saving and high quality to deliver
unmatched value and uplift our brand values.
Our engagement in bathroom fittings will help
us make strong inroads into lighting too. We
believe that the lighting market has the same
set of target buyers - individuals, realtors and
architects, who decide which brands and
products to procure. Some analysts estimate
that the LED lighting market is going to grow at
a CAGR of over 30% between 2016 and 2021.
Jaquar wants to lean on its ability to mass
produce high-quality products and extend that
to its fledgling lighting foray.
At Jaquar Lighting, we also aim to grow by
over three times by the next 2 years, taking
our current turnover of Rs. 300 Crores to Rs.
1000 Crores.
“India has immense untapped potential
to produce and manufacture world class
products. There is visible momentum,
energy, and optimism with which local
brands are being received today”
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
How is Jaquar Lighting planning to
address the smart / intelligent business in
the coming time?
Jaquar Lighting as a business caters to
consumers across segments – from value
offerings to premium and luxury clientele.
Being awarded international design awards
for our smart streetlights, we are encouraged
to continue our consistent efforts in coming up
with innovative lighting solutions that work
harder than a normal light – serving more
functions than one. Case in point, our smart
streetlight performs various functions – it acts
as a Wi-Fi router, a grid charger and an HD
security camera among others.
In the current scenario with the dynamics of
the world changing, we feel we need to
continuously focus on staying relevant, alert
and conscious and that will guide our efforts.
Your corporate headquarters and factory
in Manesar is an iconic landmark in the
industry. How and why did you choose to
build such a facility?
We wanted the global Jaquar headquarters to
have manufacturing as its beating heart. It
brings the factory closer to customers. But we
weren't looking at establishing a typical
factory set-up, so it has been designed to
camouflage that aspect.
This is a significant strategic choice. Factory
buildings are rarely seen as anything other
than functional in India.
Yet Jaquar's strategic choice to invest in an
iconic corporate facility—is not just about
expressing corporate ambition but to highlight
the important ways in which architecture
connects tangible infrastructure with
intangible assets.
What are the market segments in which
Jaquar Lighting operates?
Jaquar Lighting has been pushing the
boundaries of commercial lighting to come up
with some of the most advanced, LED energy
saving and high-performance lighting
systems. We are present in three distinct
segments in the lighting industry
Ÿ Mass Market Products (Household,
consumer products)
CHAT TIME
Ÿ Projects and B2B Market (Commercial
and outdoor products)
Ÿ Decorative and Chandeliers for niche and
premium market
Decorative Lighting as a segment has worked
phenomenally for us especially because it
provides consumers with grandeur while not
increasing their electricity outage. The
designs are classy, relevant and add effortless
charm to a festivity as well as one's abode and
that is our success story.
Decorative lighting business is not easy
given the fact that there is a strong
competition especially from the
unorganized sector. How do you
overcome this challenge?
The main goal for us is to constantly provide
our consumers with choices. If they have the
choices they desire it becomes easier for
them to connect with the brand. We constantly
try to reinvent and provide variety.
Additionally, we continuously try to be more
technologically savvy and environmentally
conscious which adds to our charm and helps
us get a step ahead of the unorganised sector.
We are given to understand that you have
manufacturing facilities for MCPCBs and
other components which are used as
captive components in your lighting
products. Are you also in the component
manufacturing business or have any plans
for the same?
At Jaquar Lighting, we already manufacture
our LED drivers in-house through fully
automated SMT machines. We have similar
automated lines for LED MCPCB assemblies
as well. In addition to this, we are already
manufacturing other components such as
surge protection devices and sensors to
further strengthen our supply chain and make
us a completely independent channel.
Given the current situation of
Government's Atmanirbhar program
where there is a push to enhance
percentage of localization of components
of lighting products in manufacturing, do
you plan to increase the capacities of
component manufacturing to cater also to
the Lighting Industry?

 CHAT TIME
The Jaquar group has been driving the mantle
of making India 'Self-Reliant' with our
manufacturing prowess and deep-rooted
Indian legacy since 1960. Our growth strategy
and vision coheres with PM's call for 'self-
reliance' or 'aatmanirbhar' and the focus on
'Made in India”.
In true sense of promulgation of local brands,
manufacturing and supply chain, India has
immense untapped potential to produce and
manufacture world class products. There is
visible momentum, energy, and optimism with
which local brands are being received today.
This move will work as a catalyst to strengthen
our ability to produce, manufacture and
distribute locally on a large scale.
The resolve to augment domestic
manufacturing in India is commendable.
However, the policy measures adopted to
achieve this goal need to be strong and
require a conducive economic model allowing
companies to adopt this narrative and help
shape a competitive and proficient
manufacturing sector.
Jaquar Lighting has invested 300 Cr. in
expanding the manufacturing Unit for LED
Lighting in Bhiwadi which will help us to
increase the manufacturing capacity of LED
drivers to 1.8 million per month. It currently
produces around 750,000. Additionally, we
have a fully automatic Bulb manufacturing unit
in Manesar with a capacity to produce 21 mn

LED bulbs annually. Over the past six
decades, we have emerged as the largest
player in the country's sanitary ware market
and with our range of lighting products and a
new plant, it will also play a significant role in
strengthening the lighting business. Overall
we are at full utilisation of component
manufacturing in the lighting industry in
today's date.
With growth of LED lighting the Indian
consumer behaviour in the last decade or
so has changed a lot. How has this
effected your product portfolio and sales
channel?
Within a period of just a few years the LED has
become the dominant artificial light source
and has taken over all the conventional light
sources like incandescent bulb, CFL,
fluorescent lamps, high pressure sodium
lamp and metal halide lamp and also in nearly
all fields of lighting applications like
residential, commercial, offices, retail,
hospitality, industries, roads and now even
sports lighting.
This has definitely impacted our product
portfolio as well as our sales, because it
resulted in Jaquar Lighting making a shift from
a decorative vertical to foraying into a
complete LED lighting solutions brand. Our
product portfolio has become more reliable
and driven by qualitative standards, while
incorporating important technical shifts.
The success of LED Lighting business will
also depend largely on a strong R&D set
up which is capable of developing and
delivering newer designs with speed. How
do you see it from Jaquar Lighting
perspective?
Jaquar ventured into lighting in decorative
vertical and we have now transformed into
complete LED lighting solutions brand. Today,
the company is one of the fastest growing
lighting companies having solutions for
residential, commercial and outdoor
applications. Jaquar's extensive and
comprehensive portfolio lets you choose for
varied budgets without compromising on
quality and reliability. Whether it is LED Bulbs,
Tube Lights, Chandeliers, Landscape
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
Lighting or Track Lights, one can expect
Jaquar to offer a holistic solution under one
roof.
Armed with innovative technology like high
quality drivers and unmatched services like
lighting planning and Pan India onsite
assistance, Jaquar Lighting is taking forward
Jaquar group's legacy of trust and customer
delight. This has been possible as a result of
establishing a state-of-the-art manufacturing
plant for Jaquar Lighting with an advanced
R&D lab accredited by NABL.
Today, we have enough credentials in our kitty
to further strengthen the R&D developments
carried out by our team. We have already
illuminated prestigious spaces such as
Parliament Hall, Kalinga Stadium
Bhubaneswar (which hosted the 2018 Hockey
Men's World Cup), Dynamic Facade Lighting
of Rajkot Bus Port and Durgam Cheruvu
Cable Bridge at Hyderabad (presently under
execution). In addition, we have a strong
presence in the hospitality sector and we have
worked with groups like Marriot Mayfair
Radisson and Lemon Tree to name a few.
We truly believe in the idea of innovation in
today's world. Today, in these difficult times,
our bathroom solutions are leading the way
which help people stay safe and healthy in
their homes and outside. Recently, we
launched a marketing campaign titled 'Sense
& Sensibility' which talks of our touch free
solutions. On similar lines, we have
introduced lighting fixtures which can be
operated without any physical contact,
optimised light usage and also save energy in
the process.
Is Jaquar planning to expand its
manufacturing facilities further?
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused
significant disruption to business in the
industry this year, but things are gradually
getting back to normalcy. In our Lighting
business, which now contributes close to 10
per cent of our total revenue, we plan on
becoming a lighting solutions provider with an
expanded range of products which will be on
offer from the new manufacturing plant.
We are debt free company and we invested

300 Cr. in our new lighting plant which was to
be commissioned a couple of months ago but
was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
Since we started manufacturing our own
drivers, the failure rate of our lights has fallen
significantly and is close to being negligible.
We now have a capacity of manufacturing 1.5
mn LED drivers and about 2 mn LED bulbs
monthly. Over the past six decades, we have
emerged as the largest player in the country's
sanitary ware market and with our range of
lighting products and a new plant, we will also
play a significant role in the lighting business
in the country. Apart from the commissioning
of lighting fittings plant in Bhiwadi, we plan to
open a water heater manufacturing unit at
Kundli by October, taking our current number
of manufacturing units from 5 to 7 and
manufacturing operations spread over
3,30,000 sq. meters. We will continue to
invest and go ahead with our capex plans in
spite of the COVID-19 pandemic.
What do you think of the impact COVID-19
will have on lighting business in the
coming one year?
Currently the impact of the pandemic has
been severe and in terms of procuring raw
materials, the industry has overall faced many
challenges. However, there is a bright side to it
as well. This is making industry leaders take
note of the challenges that some of their
models have had in the past. They have

started looking at newer sources for raw
materials as well as newer forms of
technology to keep hygiene, safety and
pocket spending capacity in check.
In the next year, we see innovative products
which will make life simpler and safer for
individuals using them, be it commercial
usage or private.
The pandemic has impacted the consumer
market where there is as apparent shift
from offline to online sales. Has this
impacted Jaquar Lighting's business?
The situation was an unprecedented one
which had all of us grappling multiple issues
due to the lockdown. Due to nationwide
lockdown for initial few weeks, our
manufacturing facilities were non-operational
in that period. But once the restrictions began
easing off, we took gradual and cautious steps
to resume our operations across our 5 plants
in India in a phased manner. Today we are
working at an approximate capacity of 50-
75% and hopefully aim to make that 100% in
the near future. Things now are gradually
getting back to normal.
In a post-pandemic world, the idea of touch
has undergone a sea-change. Daily activities
are now guided by the looming discretion of us
avoiding touching surfaces or objects unless
absolutely necessary, and that too with the
requisite precaution. Identifying this as a
concern that is here to stay, The Jaquar Group
having understood and accepted this mindset
change has introduced their latest initiative,
'Sensor and Sensibility'. Aimed at
encouraging a contactless, sustainable, and
more functional interface for both bath and
lighting solutions. The product range
incorporates Jaquar's proficient sensory
intelligence technology and customization of
existing products to eliminate the hand
contact. It has become necessary to 'break

facets of our lives including the places we visit

We also partner with various online
marketplaces to increase our brand's
presence and online lead generation, which
we further aim to convert into offline sales.
This app also helps the consumer to directly
get in touch with the customer service and
seek any clarification when needed. Visual
communication, as well as product demo
videos, further help in eliminating confusion
by focusing on the key aspects of the
categories that require intense explanation.
Social media plays an extremely vital role in
building a brand's image. While traditional
advertising is great for visibility en-masse,
digital content helps bifurcate the messaging
according to the audience's interest. This
doesn't then just create visibility, but actually
educates the audience about the products.
The idea is to build a customer for life.
'Brand comprehension and recall' happens
through digital mediums. We are working on
various digital and social platforms to develop
more substantial brand presence and top of
the mind recall. We have started engaging
with targeted influencers enabling us to
leverage and reach their set of viewers and
establish trust amongst the audience. The
short product videos help the consumers to
understand the brand's innovation and gain a
better understanding of the product's USP
and usage. We are currently planning to
launch an AI tool which will more significantly
capture the data of consumer visiting the
website, to give the first-hand experience in
terms of visualization of their dream bathroom
along with the estimation and can direct them
to their nearest dealer.

with a 157-meter high viewing pylon, the
bridge becomes the tallest modern structure
in the skyline, offering a panoramic view of the
city. For the very first time in decades, Delhi
would also be known for a modern
architectural marvel.
Besides being the solution for the long chaotic

Utmost care has been taken to ensure proper
arrangement of these fixtures for the effect
which acts as a silver lining on the aesthetic

The powerful, aesthetically beautiful and
energy-efficient LED Washers are adjusted to
focus on the cables, which accentuate the
overall profile of the bridge in contrast to the

The newly lit bridge has already become a
nationwide attraction and even created a buzz
across Asia, attracting people from far and

Subject : Make in India programme by Lighting Industry in India

Dear

1. India's energy sector can gain immensely from a boost to indigenous

manufacturing In-house manufacturing of products can bring down the cost of
technology, which can then cascade into lower prices for finished goods. Domestic
manufacturing has significant potential in the energy sector, with products such as
LED lights and we have already seen a major shift towards “Make in India” of goods
through the UJALA and Street Lighting National Programme initiative, which sets a
great Precedent.

2. For our LED programmes, we have partnered only with companies that
manufacture indigenously. This has created employment opportunities, triggered new
finished goods. Such measures have enabled EESL to benefit not only from better
quality of products suitable to Indian market but also the lowest procurement cost in
the world.

3. Policy measures such as the recent guidelines from the Ministry of Power, which
Stripulate that the supplier must conform to at least 70-80% localisation in creation of
the finished product can also galvanise domestic manufacturing and boost the local
economy.

 FEATURE STORY
5 REASONS YOUR BUSINESS SHOULD
ADOPT SMART LIGHTING
A look at why businesses should look to move to smart lighting products
Y ou may have noticed that even if no
one is working late, your office building
premises could still be wasting
electricity. Lighting in interior or exterior part of
the building may be left on which leads to
wastage of energy. Today, LED-based
intelligent lighting solutions are increasingly
being used to support sustainable,
economical and energy-efficient lighting
solutions. This trend is evident in offices
where a special emphasis is laid on energy
efficiency, ergonomics, well-being and
convenience. According to the report 'Smart
Lighting Market in India 2019,' the smart
lighting industry in India was valued at INR
7.63 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach
INR 80.56 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR
of ~48.87% during the forecast period.
Driving the world towards more sustainable
and economical solutions, smart lighting is
ready to bring the next wave of disruption in
the lighting industry. With the latest
technology advancements in smart lighting,
each luminaire can be controlled remotely
using Network Powered Lighting Controller
and configurations of a specific area can be
adapted conveniently through an interface
accessible on a mobile phone or through a
computer.
Apart from ease, sustainability and energy
savings, smart lighting technologies can also
help promote hygiene in a post-pandemic
world primarily because switches, button
panels, pull cords, touch screens, etc. are
28 OCT - DEC 2020 50
often used by more than one person and by
using smart lighting you can almost entirely
get rid of manual switches.
Some of the key benefits of deploying Smart
Lighting in your workspace:
1. Easy and anytime, anywhere control
Smart lighting backed with sensors and AI-
driven software promotes ease of access
enabling complete control anytime and from
anywhere, which in turn leads to lower
electricity bills. Even though the cost of
shifting from traditional lighting to smart
lighting may seem high at the outset but over a
period of time, the convenience of being able
to turn off the non-essential lights from the tip
of your finger which is connected to the cloud-
based digital applications will lead to greater
savings. With easy-to-use dashboards,
energy savings can be monitored real time
thereby delivering faster ROI.
2. Colour adaptability
A feature that makes a LED light a Smart Light
is its ability to change colour and temperature.
In simpler words, it means that the illumination
system can be easily adjusted in a way that
relaxes people and is more comfortable to
their eyes. For instance, during the summer
months, one needs cool lights which are not
as bright whereas, in winters, it is the
opposite. Smart lighting systems can help
maintain the circadian rhythm of employees
thereby contributing to their well-being.
Therefore, this feature can help businesses to
improve productivity and focus of their
employees.
3. Cost-effective, energy-efficient, and
eco-friendly
To get benefits such as a lower operating cost
while rendering a high level of service,
commercial buildings and offices should use
smart LED solutions since they require nearly
80% less energy. This leads to a low
operational budget, lesser maintenance and
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
even longer LED life while providing better
light with reduced glare.
Smart lighting solutions offer many intelligent
features such as motion sensors or daylight
sensors which can identify the illumination
level required as per people movement or
daylight availability before switching on a
luminaire. This leads to even more savings.
Apart from this, LEDs are eco-friendly since
they consume less energy leading to lower
greenhouse gas emissions.
4. Site to deploy other smart building
applications
Intelligent lights and controls can create the
foundation for a data-driven enterprise
enabling it to run smoothly while cutting costs
at the same time. Since smart lights are fully
connected, overhead and evenly spaced out
through the building, they form the ideal
foundation for smart sensors for new, IoT-
based building management applications.
The smart lighting solutions with the sensors
can help in controlling energy consumption,
environmental monitoring, space-utilization to
optimize usage, security alerts, room
availability, etc. These sensor-driven
solutions and applications have been
designed to lower overhead costs, keep
inventory fresh, protect organizational assets
and people. Moreover, these solutions
introduce new, data-driven insights that allow
organizations to identify new opportunities to
attain further operational efficiency.
5. Prevent the spread of germs
In an office with several employees,
switchboards can become an infection
hotspot leading to a heightened transmission
risk. Therefore, in a post-pandemic world,
there would be a greater need for smart
lighting solutions enabling touchless usage.

STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS UPDATE
A Quarterly synopsis of what is happening on the regulatory front in the Indian Lighting industry
UV-C Safety Standard
In the previous issue of Illumination, we had
announced the formation of Task Force in
India with the objective of developing an
Indian Standard on UV-C Safety requirements
in line with the position paper published by the
Global Lighting Organization.
The Task Force which had its first meeting on
23 June 2020, undertook the task of
developing a position paper on UV-C
Germicidal Irradiation Safety Requirements
and organized weekly review meetings to
fast-track the process. The position paper was
completed in a short time and the final version
of this paper was submitted to BIS on the eve
of Independence Day. Such an achievement
was possible through tireless efforts put in by
the members of the Task Force with a
focussed purpose that it will be converted into
a safety standard by BIS and then brought
under the mandatory certification scheme.
The document covers all aspects of UV-C and
the primary purpose for preparing such
document was to make consumers aware of
the UV-C products. While on one hand its
disinfection capabilities of COVID-19 have
been proven and preparation of a
performance standard on the same is in the
upcoming agenda of the ELCOMA Task
Force, the safety standard is important as it
makes the consumer aware of the potential
health hazards. We have also covered ozone
generation and its associated hazards
considering its potential generation
possibilities for wavelengths below 240 nm.
The document which has been submitted to
BIS will now be reviewed by a larger panel and
then circulated to ET 23 / ET 49 members for
comments following the usual procedures of
standardization. Once the standard is
finalized and printed & published, we would
approach the certification bodies for its
inclusion under mandatory certification
scheme.
Compulsory Registration Order – Phase 4
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
(CRO Phase 4)
On 1st April 2020, Ministry of Electronics and
IT (MEITY) published notification on CRO
phase 4 which included the following lighting
product categories:
Ÿ Standalone LED Modules as per IS 16103
Part 1
Ÿ Lighting Chains – Rope Lighting as per IS
10322 Part 5, Section 9
From publication of MEITY's gazette
notification on CRO phase 4 there has been a
lot of confusion and misinterpretation of the
word 'Standalone'. As per MEITY published
FAQs, Standalone LED Modules covered all
types of LED Modules – Built-in, Independent
and Integral types. ELCOMA members failed
to understand and accept this interpretation of
the word Standalone the way it was defined in
the FAQs, as this was not the intended
purpose to bring it under the ambit of CRO
phase 4.
ELCOMA has been always working with BIS
and MEITY to introduce new standards and
regulations to protect the interests of
consumers. It had been brought to the notice
of MEITY in 2018, that in spite of the
regulations of CRO Phase 2 and Phase 3,
number of unscrupulous LED manufacturers
were selling LED luminaires without drivers by
calling them as LED Modules, and thus
avoiding the need for BIS registration of these
products. Many such instances were
reportedly recurring, primarily in the case of
imports. Though, ET 49 technical committee
of BIS had provided clarifications that such
products which are essentially luminaires
without drivers, shall fall under the purview of
the respective luminaire categories and will
require BIS registration pertaining to the
respective applicable luminaire standards,
still the misuse of CRO were reported
repeatedly to such an extent that ELCOMA
requested MEITY to include the LED Modules
under CRO, as well. Such LED Modules with
suggested name as “Standalone” will only
INDUSTRY NEWS
include the ones which can be sold as an
independent product and ELCOMA wanted
that this category of LED Module should be
brought under the scope of CRO Phase 4 in
order to deliver safety compliant lighting
products to the Indian consumers and stop
unscrupulous manufacturers from polluting
the marketplace with non-compliant lighting
products. The other two categories of LED
Modules which are of “Built In” and “Integral”
types are already a part/component of the
LED Luminaire which are supposed to be
tested along with the LED Luminaires and
thus safety of such modules are ensured by
coverage of LED Luminaires in CRO Phase 2
and Phase 3. Inclusion of these two
categories of LED Modules was never the
intention of the industry as it was well known
that such modules are already being tested for
safety as a part/component of the luminaire.
ELCOMA sent a representation to MEITY to
amend the word “Standalone” with
“Independent” as this would serve the
intended purpose of the Industry to stop
unscrupulous manufacturers from placing
non complaint and unsafe Independent LED
Modules in the market, without impacting the
ethical manufacturers who would have been
hit by addition of an extra layer of registration
activity and its associated increase in cost,
delay in product launches, for Built-in LED and
integral type LED modules, which are already
covered as a part/component of the LED
luminaires and mentioned in the critical
component list of such luminaires under BIS
registration test requirements.
Based on ELCOMA's representation, the
Joint Secretary MEITY has approved the
industry's views on this issue and it is our
pleasure to announce that MEITY have
issued the Gazette Notification in which
‘Standalone LED Modules” have been
amended as “Independent LED Modules”.
With this change, it will be a huge relief for the
compliant lighting industry and at the same
time it will act as one more barrier against

import and local manufacture and sales of
non-compliant LED products, which would
certainly help the compliant industry which
strictly follows the law of the land.
Date of Implementation of CRO Phase 4
ELCOMA, along with other industry
associations have requested for
postponement of the implementation date of
CRO phase 4, which is 1st October 2020 as
the registration activities have not
commenced yet since the confusion on the
scope of Standalone LED modules had not
been clarified till the end of August 2020.
Initially, MEITY had not agreed for an
extension to be granted. This was
communicated in the stakeholders' meeting
held on 9th September 2020. However, on
11th September 2020, we re ceived the
confirmation from MEITY that CRO phase 4
implementation time has been extended by 6
months and it will be effective 1st April 2021.
India mandates random sampling of
imported LED products
On september 17, 2020 the Government
mandated random sampling of "imported
light-emitting diodes (LED) and control gears
for LED products."
As per the Notification (No 32/215-2020 of
DGFT), samples will be picked up for the
specified items on a random basis from
"randomly selected consignments" and will be
sent to Bureau of Indian Standards-
recognized laboratories for testing of defined
safety parameters.
Further, for such consignments, clearance
would be given to only those consignments
where the randomly selected sample has
complied with the requirements of standard
for the defined parameters. However, if the
sample drawn fails to meet the requirements
of standard, such consignment will be sent
back or will be destroyed at the cost of

HUMAN CENTRIC LIGHTING –
LIGHT AND HUMAN BIOLOGY
A scientific look at how light impacts our life
L
ike air to breathe or food to eat, light is
also essential for human existence. It
plays a much larger part in our lives
than one can imagine. Light not only helps us
to see and perceive the world around us, but it
also effects our emotional and biological
aspects, helping us to function and feel better.
One might wonder how can light effect human
beings so deeply. For this, we need to
understand the relationship between lighting
and the visual performance and comfort, it is
also necessary to understand the working of
the human eye.
The human eye is roughly spherical in shape.
Six positioning muscles allow it to swivel in
any direction. Our eye functions in roughly the
same way as a traditional camera with a lens
that projects an inverted image of the scene
onto a light-sensitive inner film. In the eye, this
film is replaced by the retina and consists of
light-sensitive nerve endings. Here the light is
transformed via a (photo) chemical process
into an electric current and transmitted
through the nerves into the brain that
Figure : Cross Section of Eye1
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
interprets it as visual information. The retina is
the start of the nervous system leading into
the brain. It consists of more than a hundred
million light-sensitive nerve endings of two
types, which because of their shape, are
called 'rods' and 'cones'. The rods and cones
connect to the brain via ganglion cells and
nerve fibres.
The unique properties of the eye - sensitivity
over an enormous lighting-level and the ability
to distinguish between up to thousands of
colors - are obtained between the highly
specialized cones and rods. The rods are
highly light-sensitive and are principally
responsible for the detection of rough shapes
and movement but cannot distinguish colors.
Cones, on the other hand, are less sensitive to
light, but can distinguish colors. They also
enable us to see fine detail.
At very low lighting levels (less than
moonlight) the sensitivity of the cones is so
low that they do not function. Vision is then by
rods only and is termed scotopic vision. The
cones take over completely at lighting levels
greater than some 3cd/m2 (somewhat brighter
than a lit motorway). This vision is then known
as photopic vision.
Along with rods and cones cells, our eyes also
have a third type of photoreceptor cell called
the intrinsic photo sensitive Retinal Ganglion
Figure 2: Visual (red) and non-visual biological (green) pathways
from retina to brain. 1: Retina with cones, rods and ipRGC 2:
biological clock (SCN) and 3. Pineal gland1
TECH CORNER
Cell, or ipRG. These cells have a nerve
connection to the biological clock located in
the brain (also called the suprachiasmatic
nuclei, SCN). The SCN in turn has a nerve
connection with the pineal gland, which is
responsible for the regulation of some
hormones in our body (Fig. 2). So, there is a
direct connection between light, bodily timing
and hormones. Lighting has not only a visual
effect but also a non-visual biological effect.
To understand the role of this third
photoreceptor cell in our daily body cycle, we
need to understand the connection of our
body wake/sleep cycle with the light. The
rotation of the earth about its own axis in
exactly 24 hours results in a 24-hour rhythm of
light and dark. This light-dark rhythm
regulates quite a few bodily processes, for
example, the sleep-wake rhythm, the rhythm
in body temperature and heart rate, and the
rhythm according to which certain hormones
are produced. These 24-hour rhythms are
called circadian rhythms. This light-dark
mechanism controls the hormones cortisol
and melatonin over the course of the day and
night. These hormones (cortisol: the “energy
hormone”, and melatonin: the “sleep
hormone”) play an important role in regulating
our degree of alertness and sleep. Cortisol,
amongst other things, increases blood sugar
to give the body energy. Cortisol levels
increase in the morning, then decrease
gradually but remain at a sufficiently high level
to give sufficient energy over the course of the
day, falling finally to a minimum at midnight.
The level of melatonin, the sleep hormone,
drops in the morning, reducing sleepiness.
ipRG cells are responsible for the
synchronization of the pineal gland to the
light-dark cycle. The pineal gland uses and
sends information to regulate the production
of these hormones as needed in the different
stages of the day, modifying our physical and
neurobehavioral capacities and the regulation

Let us see how different lights effect human
body:
Normally, light comes in every day to adjust
our melatonin secretion and so reset our
sleep/wake clock. The circle of Figure 3 helps
to show when to time our light exposure and
what sort of light is best.
Morning light is very effective at resetting the
body clock. It shifts the sleep period earlier (so
rotating it anti-clockwise in Figure 3, by a
maximum of about an hour a day.
What is morning light? It is any light that is
received during the first hours after the
minimum core body temperature. Morning
light makes waking up easier so that we
become more of a “morning person”. Light

that is bright and strong in blue wavelengths is
most effective for regulating our sleep/wake
cycle. One study has shown that even short
pulses of light can be very effective to reset
our body clock. Many of us – and not just
“evening people” – need to use alarm clocks
to wake up in the morning and meet our daily
responsibilities. As we wake up, our cortisol
levels rise naturally. Cortisol helps us wake in
the morning and get ready for action.
Insufficient daytime light exposure can disrupt
our sleep. Extra light during the daytime can
raise nocturnal melatonin levels and enhance
circadian amplitude.
During the daytime, again especially in the
morning, it is best to be outdoors for a time.
Light enhances alertness at all times of the
day and night. During daytime alertness is
usually appreciated, but at night-time it may
be less desirable. This applies especially to
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
people who hardly go outside and depend on
indoor environments for their light exposure:
e.g. workers and school children who spend
most of their day indoors, and the elderly who
cannot go outside because of physical
limitations.
Evening light, as long as it is dim and low in
blue (short wavelength) content, can help us
relax and prepare for sleep. Bright evening
light, though, makes us stay up later and can
delay sleep – again by up to around an hour a
day. That makes it more difficult to get up early
the next morning.
What is evening light? It is light that hits our
retina in the hours just before the minimum
core body temperature. The closer the light is
to the moment we reach our minimum core
body temperature, the stronger the shifting
action on our body clock.
Avoiding bright and blue lights in the evening
allows us to stay up enjoying activities without
disrupting our circadian rhythm.
Light at night suppresses melatonin and
makes it more difficult to get to sleep, and so
harder to get up early next morning. It does
this within minutes of our eyes receiving the
light, and even a few minutes' light pulse can
be enough to suppress melatonin. It is still
best to use as little light as possible at night,
though. At night, light disturbs our sleep
patterns, and it is best not to disturb them too
frequently. We have evolved to sleep at night
and that's what we should do. Whether we go
to bed early or late is less important than
keeping regular times.
The message from nature is clear: a regular
sleep/wake rhythm is best for our
performance and health. But within this, our
bodies have evolved a kind of steering wheel,
constantly adjusting the sleep/wake cycle,
driven by light and melatonin.

ACCURATE AND REPRODUCIBLE
MEASUREMENTS OF UV RADIATION
This article explains the why and how of UV Radiation measurement
S
cience was launched by Galileo's call
of “Measure, whatever you can
measure. If there is something, which
cannot yet be measured, find out how it can be
measured”. In modern day world, accurate
measurements are the backbone of new
discoveries and most of the Noble prizes in
recent years, have gone to Measurement
Science. Not only are accurate and precise
measurements necessary for quality control
and increased productivity but also necessary
for the benefit of humanity. Precise and
accurate measurements of electromagnetic
(EM) radiation in general, are very important
for new discoveries in science and
technology.
The amount of radiant energy in the optical
region, extending from ultraviolet (UV) to
infrared (IR) (i.e. 100 nm to 25µm of the EM
spectrum), has been possible due to
significant developments in sources,
detectors, measuring instruments and
techniques. These improved realizations
have largely supported the present day need
of measurement of radiant energy very
accurately. In particular 'the phototherapy
community' engaged in the development of
UV sources and detectors in the wake of the
present day crisis of COVID-19 for
applications, demand improved traceability
34 OCT - DEC 2020 50
and reliability of measurements at the level of
minimum uncertainty in the measurement of
the UV radiation especially UV-C radiation
used for dissociation the COVID-19 virus.
Therefore, it has become very pertinent to
discuss the measurement techniques being
followed by NMIs and the Standards
Laboratories (such as NPL, New Delhi) in
India or worldwide, for providing traceability to
the measurements for UV.
The measure of EM radiation is called
radiometry while measurement in the visible
region of the EM, called light (380 nm to 780
nm) is called photometry. Since UV radiation
is between 380 nm and 100 nm, therefore EM
radiometry encompasses the measurement
of UV radiation.
In general, there are two well-known ways to
realize various radiometric units, (i) Source
based radiometry (ii) Detector based
radiometry. In source-based radiometry
source of well-defined radiation such as a
blackbody is used as a primary standard,
while in detector-based radiometry, self-
calibrating or calibrated detectors such as
electrical substitution-based radiometers
(ESR) used as standard.
UV light covers a wavelength spectrum from
100 to 380 nm and is subdivided into three
regions by wavelength: UVA (320 to 400 nm),
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
UVB (280 to 320 nm), and UVC (200 to 280
nm). Among them, UVC has the strongest
germicidal effect and is widely used in the
form of mercury lamps to inactivate
microorganisms. Other phototherapy sources
include medium­pressure metal halide lamps
(iron or cobalt halides are common). These
emit broadly across the UV and visible
spectra, so are almost exclusively used with
UV filters to shape the output spectrum. The
much talked about eximer lamps (krypton
chloride lamps) and UV light-emitting diode
(UV-LED) technology has been developed
recently as an alternative.
ULTRAVIOLET MEASURING EQUIPMENT
Ultraviolet radiometers
Appropriate and suitably calibrated UV
radiometers are required to provide accurate,
precise and reliable measurement.
Radiometers, in general have a silicon
photodiode acting as a sensor, that detects
spectral response extending over UV, visible
light and near­infrared radiation
wavelengths. An optical filter is used to
separate the UV wavelength range to be
measured from any unwanted or out­of­band
radiation. With different filters, such
radiometers can be made to respond to UVA,
UVB or UVC wavelengths. Practically, it is
very difficult to achieve spectral responses
that cut off sharply at exact wavelengths,
therefore, tail off at either end of the range and
correction for the same must be adopted.
UV radiometer with approximately matching
spectral responses should be selected before
employing them into measurements. A special
example of a filter­modified response is that
of a radiometer with a net spectral response
mimicking the hazard­weighted action
spectrum. This can be achieved with a
vacuum photodiode sensor and a matched
filter. Such radiometers can be calibrated to
indicate directly hazard­weighted irradiances

with acceptable accuracy, irrespective of the
exact emission spectra of the UV source. This
can help assessment of occupational UV
exposures.
Other most important features of the UV
radiometer is that its response must vary as
the cosine of the angle of incidence of UV rays
called the 'cosine response', which can be
approximated by fitting an optical diffuser as
the front element of the UV radiometer. A
deviation from the cosine response is
described as f error (significant deviation in f,
i.e. if f ≥ 5% this error results in erroneous
values). Correction for this error is to be done
before assigning a value to the measurement
UV irradiance. The radiometer should have a
linear response (deviation < 2% or better) over
a large dynamic range of intensities (~
0.001–50·0 mWcm−2) with a display unit to
have digital resolution of ±0·001 mW cm−2 (for
adequate numerical precision).
The calibration of a radiometer would involve
a comparison of the electrical signal produced
by the UV radiometer under calibration for
irradiance or spectral irradiance with the
electrical signal produced by a standard
detector which must be a calibrated UV
radiometer for irradiance or spectral
irradiance by an NMI or a self calibrating
detector namely ESR for spectral irradiance

with matched UV filter
for the UV range of interest. The ratio of the
electrical signals so achieved multiplied by the
calibrated irradiance with estimation of
uncertainty in measurement by identifying the
possible factors contributing to uncertainty
can be used for calibration of the detectors in
an accurate manner.
Spectroradiometers
In some cases the irradiance measurement at
several components of each wave band is
required and the measurement are called
spectral irradiance measurement, which is
expressed in radiometric units such as µW
cm−2 nm−1. For this purpose
spectroradiometers, in general, two types of
spectroradiometers, namely a scanning
spectroradiometer (SSR) or charge­coupled
device (CCD) array are employed. In an SSR
the input optics gather radiation from a
specific radiation. A cosine diffuser on the
input is required if the spectroradiometer is to
measure irradiance at a surface, that would be
received by the skin from a phototherapy
lamp. One of the most important component
of the spectroradiometer is a monochromator
which consists of a finely etched or a
holographic diffraction grating of printed
parallel lines that produce a
wavelength­dependent angular dispersion of
light. Light entering through an input slit of the
TECH CORNER
monochromator is collimated by a collimator
(generally, a concave grating and the input slit
at the focus of the mirror) made incident onto
the diffraction grating. The grating is rotated to
scan the separated spectrum across an exit
slit (whose opening is usually equal to that of
input slit to define a small range of
wavelengths), delivers a small range of
wavelengths from the monochromator to the
detector. As stray light can introduce
significant measurement errors in
phototherapy applications, double
monochromator spectroradiometers (a
combination of prism and grating) are typically
recommended where accurate
measurements are required. Stray­light
rejection factors (the ratio of stray to incident
light) up to 10–6 are achievable with double
monochromator systems – some three orders
of magnitude better than single
monochromators.
A CCD arrays spectroradiometer, unlike SSR,
consists of the monochromator having a
compact static grating with a CCD array
(single­line or two­dimensional array) as a
detector. Therefore, it is used to provide fast
and are suitable for field­based
measurements, where simultaneous and
real­time whole spectrum measurements are
required. In such spectroradiometers, input
50 OCT - DEC 2020 35
 TECH CORNER
optics comprising of an optical fibre with a
cosine­corrected diffuser, for accurate
measurements of UV radiation from
phototherapy lamps at the other end of the
fibre, is essential. Each array of the CCD must
be calibrated for wavelength using low
pressure atomic discharge lamps, namely low
pressure mercury argon, cadmium and or zinc
lamps. Resolution of wavelength depends on
the number, size and separation of the CCD
arrays, the grating characteristics and the
optical geometry. This arrangement captures
of the whole spectrum simultaneously. An
added advantage of a CCD
spectroradiometers utilizing two­dimensional
arrays is its use as imaging
spectroradiometer. CCD arrays are relatively
cheap and are easy to use in the field but the
disadvantage is that they suffer from high
levels of stray light, however, with the same
level of precautions and care in terms of
calibration and conditions of use as applied to
the traditional SSRs, accurate measurements
can be performed.
CALIBRATION AND TRACEABILITY OF
MEASUREMENTS.
A well­characterized source of light with
known spectral irradiance, i.e. a lamp that has
been calibrated at the NPL, India or any NMI
of any country referred as the transfer
standard, must be employed for accurate
calibration of spectroradiometers. When the
36 OCT - DEC 2020 50
calibration is to be carried out by a calibration
laboratory, replication of the distance from a
spectroradiometer and orientation of the
lamps with other environmental conditions
maintained at the NPL or the NMI are a must,
to get accurate and reproducible results. The
calibration laboratory is recommended to
procure at least one other similar lamp and a
second lamp of a different type, for example a
tungsten filament lamp and a deuterium lamp,
which works as a secondary transfer standard
for internal quality control checks. The
spectroradiometer should be calibrated either
each time it is used or on a regular basis, with
checks carried out in between. Typically,
deuterium and/or tungsten lamps should used
with stabilized power supplies.
Uncertainty of the reference detector is
slightly less than that of the calibration lamp
but the final overall uncertainty of the UV
detector calibrated by either method as
described above marked in italics) is very
similar. Inter-comparisons between two or
more accredited laboratories following
ISO/IEC 17025:2017, one using a
lamp­based calibration and the other
detector­based, would show good
agreement within the state of art value agreed
internationally.
Ultraviolet (UV) irradiance measurements are
usually associated with large inaccuracies
and uncertainties. Therefore, comparability
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
of corresponding measurement equipment
and its data are quite cumbersome and
complicated. For supervisors or safety
experts, it should be made mandatory to
measure reliable UV irradiances with regard
to occupational safety regulations. To make
life easy, measurements of two UV irradiance
standards, a deuterium and a halogen lamp,
must be carried out. The percentage
deviations of the measured total UV
irradiances from their calibrated counterparts
should be well within the internationally
agreed values. The quality of wavelength
accuracy as well as of the spectral bandwidth,
both investigated by means of a low pressure
mercury argon lamp provide consistent
results. As a follow up, UV radiation from the
UV lamp must be examined at two/ three
distances to check the behaviour of UV
irradiance accuracy in the field
measurements. The overall averaged
standard deviation of these field
measurements for all CCD array detectors
must be stated for transparency and quality.

WHY DOES INDUSTRIAL LED LIGHTING
REQUIRE ROBUST COMPONENTS?
What to look for in the selection of a good driver
T
he heart is the primary organ that
determines how well the rest of the
human body functions. So, we pay a lot
of attention to it and make sure we do what we
can to keep it in top shape. We eat 'heart
healthy' foods, keep up with exercise routines,
reduce stress where we can etc.
It is a bit dramatic, but you would not be wrong
to think of the LED driver as the 'heart' of an
LED fixture. For all LED fixtures, you will
always want a driver with the best
specifications and quality level and you would
obviously want it to last. Product managers
want their drivers to operate at an optimum
level for the life of the fixture and make the
luminaire look great. They would never want
the driver to poorly affect the LED fixture and
how it operates on-a-daily basis. Many times
we have seen that beautiful fixtures with sub-
par drivers often do not meet their anticipated
potential.
Many people don't realize the importance of
the LED driver (power supply) selected and
designed into the fixture. LED drivers
significantly influence the performance,
reliability and lifetime of a luminaire. Selection
of a reliable LED driver is utmost important for
better functioning of Luminaire fixture. This is
even more important when the operating
environment is challenging. Industrial
environments from warehouses to
manufacturing plants are more harsh than
typical work environments such as
commercial office spaces. Temperatures can
be extremely cold or hot because of a lack of
heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and
equipment may be partially exposed to the
elements. In addition, there may be heavy
equipment and machinery that causes
voltage spikes and vibration, or other
environmental conditions such as humidity
and dust that affect equipment performance
and long-term reliability.
38 OCT - DEC 2020 50
Luminaires for industrial settings need to be
built to withstand these harsh conditions.
They must be able to operate efficiently and
support the safety and productivity of both the
occupants and machinery in the facility. The
quality and specifications of the LED driver
installed in the luminaire is critical because it
determines how well the luminaire will perform
from an energy efficiency, light quality and
reliability perspectives.
Energy efficiency
LED lighting operates at significantly lower
power consumption levels as compared to
fluorescent or high intensity discharge (HID)
technologies. With advancements in lighting
controls, LED luminaires can take advantage
of wireless sensors and controls to further
optimize a lighting system. Leveraging
sensors, dimming strategies, and natural light
can further reduce energy consumption while
still maintaining optimal levels of light in the
space.
High Quality of Light
Due to the high ceilings in industrial
environments, luminaires must operate with a
high light output to illuminate work areas
brightly and evenly so that employees, as well
as the machinery, can work safely and
efficiently. Additionally, the quality of light,
including flicker, dimming performance and
DIM-to-OFF, can be critical in some
environments such as food processing plants,
hospitals, stadiums, schools and factories.
Many industrial facilities leverage scanning
systems for real-time visibility of inventory.
Where scanning systems are applied, the
lighting must not only be bright, but its quality
must also be high, so that these systems,
most of which are very sensitive to ambient
light, can work properly. Industrial LED drivers
should ensure high quality of light with low
output flicker and stroboscopic effects even at
minimum dim levels.
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
Ripple current and light flickering
(modulation)
Light modulation describes how much the
instantaneous value of the luminous flux is
varying. Human perception strongly depends
on this frequency. In practice, many drivers
naturally deliver a high content of 100-Hz
modulation. The root cause for this is the 50-
Hz mains supply, which results in 100 Hz after
rectification.
Compared to traditional fluorescent light
sources, LEDs instantaneously translate their
operating current into light, without much
smoothing effects. Minor imperfections of the
driver can lead to a low quality of light. The
LED driver should ensure that the 100-Hz light
modulation is so small that it normally cannot
be perceived by the human eye and is
therefore not critical within a standard
application.
Premium-quality LED drivers produce less
than 5 % modulation and are therefore often
called “flicker-free” or “zero ripple”.
Reliable Light Output Across a Wide
Temperature Range
Luminaires are usually installed at ceiling
heights of 25 feet or higher in industrial
spaces. Addressing any problems with
lighting fixtures can require not only skilled
personnel but often special equipment. This
makes maintenance challenging and costly
especially if machines or production lines
must stop while the maintenance is done.
It is critical that luminaires in this environment
are highly reliable and energy efficient. A high-
quality luminaire requires a reliable LED driver
which can operate in harsh environments
consistently across a wide ambient
temperature range (-20C to 60C) and support
low touch maintenance programs.

• Peak Wavelength and FWHM (Full width
at half maximum i.e. the wavelength

• Study of the entire UV Spectrum (Please
note that 265nm has the maximum
germicidal efficiency)
• The overall radiant flux and efficiency of
the source at product level
• Estimation of switching cycle
performance.
• Estimation on maintained lumen after a
defined period of time (typically can be
tested for 25% of declared life or 3000 hrs
whichever is lower)
• Proof of the Log Reduction Value (LRV)
through either actual photobiological
testing or through documented
measurement of irradiance values at the
application area.
• In case of system design for a 3D space, a
typical measurement of the UVC source
distribution will help in ray tracing and
arriving at uniform irradiance.
• At actual dosage measurement at
application area.
• Evaluation of material degradation under
the effect of long-term UV exposure.
Safety Requirements
UV-C devices produce a monochromatic or
broadband UV-C irradiance in the 100 nm to
280 nm wavelength range. For effective
40 OCT - DEC 2020 50
disinfection purposes, the UV-C irradiance
energy of these UV-C devices is much higher
than normal sunlight. These high UV-C
irradiance energies can present hazards to
exposed humans, animals and materials.
However proper safety measures can
mitigate such effects.
The hazards are twofold - irradiance and
ozone (O3). The irradiance hazard can
damage the human eye and cause a severe
sunburn-like reaction to the human skin. The
irradiance hazard can also damage materials.
The ozone (O3) hazard occurs at
wavelengths below 240 nm and can cause a
toxic reaction in the human body.
Suitable safety measures vary depending on
the UV-C source and application. They may
include (a) shielding to prevent direct
exposure to people, pets and delicate
materials; (b) fully containing the source in a
chamber or enclosure; (c) access control or
presence sensing to prevent operation of the
source when a space is occupied; (d) interlock
to prevent operation of the source when its
enclosure is opened' (e) timer or other control
to limit operating time per 8-hour period
corresponding to maximum irradiance
guidelines; (f) personal protective equipment
such as goggles, gloves, mask, shield or
dosimeter; (g) warning labels, installation
instructions, operating manual and training.
As with any human-machine interaction, UV-
C disinfection sources and products and their
application environments must be used
correctly to be safe. The Global Lighting
Association has issued its Position Statement
on Germicidal UV-C Irradiation: UV-C Safety
Guidelines which addresses this issue in
detail.
Regulatory Requirement
Though UVC Germicidal Applications have
been in existence for more than ninety years
now, the regulatory requirements and the
standard methods for measurement and
reporting of data is not present in a structured
format.
There are varied issues of market being
flooded with unsafe products. Some UVA LED
IllumiNation - THE LIGHTING MAGAZINE
products are being sold as germicidal, some
UVC products are being sold in consumer
spaces without proper safeguards or
warnings. Better understanding of the human
hazard, building material degradation,
abnormality in plant growth, hazard to pets
etc. caused due to long term exposure to UVC
is needed. Hence it is strongly recommended
to put the UVC products under regulation.
Unfortunately, the online retail market is
growing rapidly with handheld and portable
consumer oriented UVC germicidal devices,
many of which do not employ proper
containment or other equivalent means of
protection. Instead, these tend to rely solely
on markings or integral timers, unreliable
sensors, or remote controllers, which still
leave room for scenarios where humans or
animals can be over-exposed to the UVC
light. Without better safeguards and without
consumers being more fully aware of risks
and trained in proper operation, this would
place an unrealistic responsibility on the user
and, consequently, such products at present
cannot be certified.
For all UVC consumer products sold,
certification is essential. And warning labels
are not enough as children or pets cannot be
expected to follow written warnings, and
home environments pose innumerable
situations that could result in misuse and
potential harm when the technical safeguards
are inadequate. Some of the cheap unreliable
products which have flooded the online
market should be assessed and strongly
covered under a regulatory framework so that
the consumer safety is ensured.
The UVC task force setup by ELCOMA is also
working in close cooperation with the Bureau
of Indian Standards to release an Indian
standard for the safety if UVC Sources and
devices and advocating strongly for the
requirement of a regulation for such products.

Various proactive steps are being taken to
counter the pandemic impact on business.
We are looking for opportunities in adverse

have taken - deep focus on customer
retention by having an empathetic attitude,
positive and proactive communication with
the customers, supplier partners, and other
stakeholders, a close evaluation of the cost
structures, and maintaining a healthy balance
sheet. Work from the home office is being
encouraged to keep the employees safe while
bringing in the required productivity and
maintaining the business continuity.
All of this has helped our business to ramp up
and witness a sequential growth (month on

washout in the month of April.
Based on the foreseeable macro-economic
factors, the time it would take to get a credible

months before we see a full recovery, but we
are witnessing an improvement with each
