Introduction

 

 

In modern life, one of the most important indicators when choosing a suitable lamp is visual comfort. UGR (Unified Glare Rating), as an internationally recognized standard for evaluating glare, is directly related to the comfort of the human eye in the lighting environment. So, what is UGR? This article will provide you with a detailed introduction.

 

 

What is UGR?

 

 

UGR

UGR (Unified Glare Rating) is an index proposed by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) to quantify the intensity of glare, used to assess the degree of visual interference caused by luminaires to the human eye. Its value range is usually from 10 to 30. The lower the value, the better the glare control. The calculation of UGR is based on multiple parameters such as the brightness distribution of the luminaire, the installation position, and the brightness of the background environment.

Advantages of Toppo's UGR<19 Batten Light

 

 

1. Efficient Anti-glare Design: The battn light adopts micro-prism diffusion plate and side-emitting technology, which evenly disperses the light and reduces direct glare, ensuring that the UGR value is stably below 19. At the same time, the light maintains high color rendering (Ra≥80), which can meet the needs of long-time lighting.
2. High Luminous Efficiency and Energy Saving: The luminous efficiency of the luminaire exceeds 110lm/W, achieving high-brightness output on the basis of low glare. It uses LED for lighting, which is more energy-efficient compared to traditional lamps.
3. Flexible Installation: The batten light is easy to install, offering single or multiple chain options. Moreover, it provides a variety of installation methods, such as embedded installation, surface installation, and suspended ceiling installation.
4. Long Life and Low Maintenance Cost: By using high-quality LED chips and driver power supplies, its lifespan is longer than that of ordinary incandescent lamps. Some connectable LED baton lights can be connected multiple times through modules in different directions. This modular design allows only the damaged part to be disassembled when replacing a broken light, reducing maintenance costs.
