With constant updating and experience gained in the application and production field, MIV collaborates with its customers on designing, prototyping and, if required, programming, with final testing of the control system with the most suitable technology for the required use (Bluetooth, WI-FI, Dali, DMX, etc.).
MIV, an acronym for Materiale Illuminotecnico Veneto, is well known in the Italian and international markets as one of the leaders in components for the lighting sector, above all thanks to the relevant product availability and the speed in logistics management. Over 6,000 items are available for immediate delivery with a 24-hour shipping service. High-quality and maximum reliability of the products, in compliance with current European and non-European regulations, are ensured thanks to the work of top suppliers in the lighting sector that the company relies on, even operating for some of them as their distributors.
MIV’s sales department is always available to provide proper quotations in a short time for every kind of 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 customers by constantly updating them on new products and technologies; last but not least, the introduction of the Ecodesign directive for the lighting sector (EU REGULATION 2019/2020), which helps to simplify and unify the EU rules regarding lighting products.
In addition to the introduction of new parameters, the previous fundamentals and amendments of the Ecodesign legislation have been included in a single standard. The EPREL directive supports the EU’s commitment to ensure safety and eco-sustainability for the lighting sector through the use of increasingly efficient devices that adapt to common guidelines. Among the requests that must be met are the introduction of the new energy label, the simplification of the construction of lighting fixtures to make them easily repairable, and the limitation of flicker values and strobe effects. MIV immediately took action to provide assistance to its customers and recommend the products that best meet the new requirements and that best adapt to the lamp’s structure, avoiding expensive variations that sometimes change its aesthetics.
In particular, thanks to the collaboration with Vossloh-Schwabe, of which it is a distributor, MIV presented a series of 220Vac LED modules (both COB and SMD) with integrated driver, which comply with the strict limits imposed by the Ecodesign Directive and replace the previous generation, guaranteeing customers the continuity of production of appliances designed for operation with this kind 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 which, in addition to guaranteeing high energy efficiency, are synonymous with light emitted quality and over time reliability.
Essential for the management of lighting (with consequent benefits for energy saving and the used devices) is the choice of the control system, whether it is a small system, such as a single lamp or the domestic environment, or large surfaces such as production areas, commercial and hospitality facilities.
