GlassGuard specialise in delivering lighting solutions for the food industry which reduce energy costs and control glass contamination assuring food safety.

GlassGuard's range of lighting solutions satisfy all the requirements of food safety management systems and recognised Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) schemes.

GlassGuard produce Europe's widest range of industry compliant fragment retention lamps (also known as shatterproof lamps) which have an external fluoropolymer coating directly extruded to the outside surface including the end caps.

This fluoropolymer coating controls the implosion in the event of accidental breakage retaining dangerous glass shards, phosphor powders and other contaminants such as heavy metals which can be safely removed.

All GlassGuard products meet with the procedures and requirements of HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and the highly acclaimed Blackband range of linear fluorescent lamps are compliant with IEC 61549 International Standards.

GlassGuard lighting solutions are ideal for all areas of the food industry including farms, production, manufacturing sites, packaging sites, distribution warehouses and supermarkets.

New for 2015 are high output energy efficient LED tubes in T8 retrofit for use in high frequency enclosed or open rated fluorescent luminaries.

GlassGuard BlackBand LED T8 Lamps - Features & Benefits
