QUALITY

HATO continuously carries out quality controls to guarantee minimal energy use and high-quality fixtures. HATO has setup a test laboratory to measure almost every aspect of lighting in order to meet all of our clients´ requirements.

Our equipment enables us to measure the full colour spectrum of lighting products as well as total light output and to track variations over time. With this data we are able to calculate colour indexes, colour temperature, as well as many other aspects to ensure constant quality and an optimal lighting experience.

Several measurement devices are present specifically to measure LED's to find the best LED solution. To enhance these new lighting solutions even further, we also have a specialized team to create tailor-made, supporting electronics for the ultimate solutions.
