◈ Characteristics
Notes:
The evaluation of eye safety occurs according to the standard IEC 62471:2006 (photo biological safety of lamps and lamp systems). Within the risk grouping system of this IEC standard, the device specified in this data sheet fall into the class exempt group (exposure time 10000 s). Under real circumstances, it is assumed that no endangerment to the eye exists. However, intense light sources have a high secondary exposure potential due to their blinding effect.
