FAQ

Do you save electricity by switching to LED?

On the LED in general you save 60-80%, depending on the starting point and type of luminaire – it’s as simple as that.

Can LED withstand "though" environments?

Our RNS LED Luminaires is specially made for though environments, such as industry and agriculture.

They withstand ammonia, as the LED’s are special-coated and the transformers are “cast” together in silicone.

The luminaires are waterproof, min. IP66, and can therefore be high-pressure cleaned. They also withstand large amounts of dust.

LED normally doesn’t withstand high temperatures, but the aluminum profile makes the luminaire strong and diverts the heat.

Does Plug´N Play ™ last? - Usually plugs are not good in farm environment?

All our sockets are co-molded, which makes sure that moisture can’t get inside the connectors. The connectors themselves are waterproof and have an O-ring. We have sold them for many years without any problems.

Is it legal and can you assemble yourself?

Yes, our RNS Plug´N Play™ system is CE approved and you are allowed to assemble the connectors yourself. A bit like extension cords. It is a system of luminaires with belonging cables. This means you can assemble it all by yourself, with our power plug in the socket. Alternatively, you can mount it all by yourself, but get your local electrician to mount the first cable. It is 3G 1.5mm2 cable and it’s therefore also approved for “fixed installation”. Cables come with and without rodent protection.

The other luminaires are what you call “fixed installation” and must be fitted/installed by an electrician.

Where are the products produced?

The products are developed and designed in Denmark. Most of our products are produced at our own factory in China, with Danish management, which we started in 2017. It is our molds and approvals. This allows us to guarantee consistent quality with the latest technology at a reasonable price. In addition, we guarantee that you can get spare parts, connectors and other parts, also in the future.

Is it cheaper to buy LED tubes to replace in your old fixtures?

LED tubes are cheap. However, history has shown that if existing luminaires have been used for max. 5 years in eg. a pig stable, then they are usually worn out. Heat along with ammonia and moisture impact makes the tubes fragile and it’s therefore not worth replacing. The luminaires are often leaking and when ammonia penetrates the ordinary LED tubes, it makes the lifetime of the tubes very short. Therefore, it is not a long-term solution, to install new LED tubes in old luminaires.

In addition, the coil in existing neon tube fittings also uses power. In this case, the coil must be disconnected by an electrician.

Does the LED produce as good a light as neon?

The quality of LED light is now fully in line with neon tubes – and often better. We apply a “Ra” value of min. 80. Our luminaires are well-protected against EMC (electronic noise) and do not affect antennas or ear scanners, etc.

Our luminaires do not flicker and is available with full dimming for eg. poultry without flicker.

How is the distribution of the LED light?

The light scattering of LED is often different from other light sources, but you can for compensate by placing the luminaires differently.

However, you cannot completely compare LED light with other light sources. A neon tube has a light scattering of 360 degrees, but since there is no reflectors on stable fittings, the top 180 degrees will not give a useful light – and therefore you can not count as many lumens.

Our luminaires usually scatter 120-180 degrees, which is perfect when the lights are mounted in min. 3 m. height, as well as above the sows’ heads (SowLight).

For buildings with lower ceiling, we recommend our V-luminaire with double LED strips. It has a spread of 300 degrees and gives a lot of light with good light scattering.

Can I buy directly from you?

We sell directly to the customer, but primarily refer to our resellers, electricians, webshops etc., all over the world.

Alternatively, you can purchase our products through your local electrician. Your local electrician is more than welcome to contact us.

Delivery

Most products are in stock and can be delivered from day to day.

For smaller deliveries in Denmark and Europe we use GLS, which supplies from day to day.

For pallet delivery, we often use ALPI transport or DSV.

For sea and air transport we often use DSV.

Certifications

All RN Solutions LED luminaires and accessories are CE approved as a minimum. Most of our products also have the “D marking” as well as the demanding CCC labels to China and UL / ETL to North America.

In addition, IES files have been made for light calculation on all of our luminaires.

Please, ask for the certificates you may need.

IES / DiaLux files

We offer light calculations if needed.

However, we know our products very well, and can often advise on the number of luminaires, etc. for a given lux power without making a determined light calculation.

Warranty

We provide from 5 to 10 years of full warranty on all our products. The number of years is mentioned in the product sheet for the individual product.

Please be aware, that some manufacturers does not offer full warranty on stable environments/ammonia.

* Main rule below 100 m. cable incl. fixtures.

(In principle there may be more, but we work with a safety margin).

If we reach over 100 m. in total, we will calculate it.

In large stables, the junction box/lamp socket is often placed in the middle of the stable, and “runs” to both sides.
