The Veneto-based company MIV – acronym for Materiale Illuminotecnico Veneto – has been recognized in the Italian and international markets for more than 10 years as one of the leaders in the marketing of components for the lighting sector, thanks above all to the high availability of the product and the speed of logistics management. Over 6000 items are available for immediate delivery with a 24-hour shipping service: excellent quality and maximum reliability of the products in compliance with current European and non-European regulations, thanks to the work of top suppliers in the lighting sector that the company relies on, even operating for some of these as their distributors.
MIV’s sales department is always available quickly to provide suitable estimates for every need. The relationship with customers is taken care of by agents, present throughout the country and also by the internal technical office, which follows the customer by constantly updating him on new products and technologies: last but not least, the entry into force of the Ecodesign directive for lighting (EU REGULATION 2019/2020), which helps to simplify and unify the EU rules regarding lighting products.
Previous elements and amendments of the Ecodesign legislation included in a single standard in addition to new parameters. The EPREL directive supports the EU’s commitment to ensure safety and eco-sustainability in the lighting sector by using increasingly efficient devices that conform to the guidelines. Among the mandatory demands are the introduction of the new energy label, construction of lighting fixtures simplification to make them easily repairable and the limitation of flicker values and the strobe effect.
MIV took action from day one, assisting its customers and recommending the products that best meet the new requirements and adapt to the lamp structure, avoiding expensive variations that sometimes change its aesthetics. In particular, thanks to the collaboration with company Vossloh-Schwabe – of which it is a distributor – MIV presented a series of 220Vac LED modules (both COB and SMD) with integrated driver, which fall within the strict limits imposed by the Ecodesign directive and replace the previous generation, guaranteeing customers the continuity of the production of fixtures designed for operation with this type of light source.
For those who use LED modules (COB and SMD) or LED strips combined with separate drivers, the company offers complete systems from Vossloh-Schwabe that – in addition to guaranteeing high energy efficiency – are synonymous with the quality of the light emitted and reliability over time. Fundamental for the management of lighting (with consequent benefits for energy saving and the devices used) is the choice of thecontrol system, whether it is a small system, such as the single lamp or the domestic environment, or whether it is large surfaces such as production areas, commercial and hospitality facilities.
With constant updating and experience gained in the application and production field, MIV collaborates with its customers on the design, prototyping and – if required – programming with final testing of the control system using the most suitable technology for the required use (Bluetooth, WI-FI, Dali, DMX, etc.).
