MATRIX R: technical selection and application guide
What MATRIX R is, which special and underground lighting projects it fits, which regulatory requirements to verify and how to specify it.

Overview
MATRIX R — Incasso lineare a terra o parete per illuminazione architetturale. MATRIX R è un apparecchio lineare da incasso a terra o parete per illuminazione radente di facciate ed elementi architettonici. La cornice in acciaio satinato AISI 316, il corpo in alluminio estruso e la cassa in acciaio inox AISI 430F accompagnano ottiche secondarie o vetro acidato per luce diffusa. Le schede originali documentano le configurazioni 900 da 30 W e 1200 da 40 W a 4000 K, con RGBW e DALI su richiesta. This Centro Studi briefing does not replace the product page: it frames the luminaire within the design process, from requirement definition to on-site verification.
Where it is used
MATRIX R belongs to the special and underground lighting scope and is used in metro lines, stations, underpasses and critical environments. Three items always come first: classification of the scope under the applicable standard, the real installation geometry (spacings, heights, brackets or pitches) and the maintenance conditions planned over the installation life cycle.

Build characteristics
Photometric data: Specific photometric values (flux, efficacy, expected illuminance) are not published in generic form because they depend on configuration and installation geometry. Photometric files for calculation are available from the technical office at info@lumeitalia.it.

Regulatory requirements to verify
The requirement must be stated before product selection and repeated at commissioning with the same measurement method. A requirement written without a reference standard and without verification conditions is the most frequent cause of dispute at acceptance.
EN 12464-1 — requirements for transit spaces
EN 1838 — safety lighting and escape routes
EN 45545 / V0 class — fire behaviour of materials
Scope classified under the applicable standard, with the risk analysis attached
Performance requirements stated with standard, measurement point and conditions
Maintenance factor justified and consistent with the cleaning plan
Photometric files requested from the supplier for the design calculation
Ingress protection, impact resistance and electrical class matched to the site
Dimming system and control protocol defined in the specification
Warranty terms, spare parts and maintenance accessibility
Installation, operation and maintenance
During installation the main variables are aiming, tightening of the fixings and correct execution of the electrical terminations. In operation, the maintenance plan must state the cleaning frequency of the optical surfaces, periodic gasket checks and how electronic components are replaced.

In short
MATRIX R is a defensible choice when special and underground lighting requirements are stated, the calculation reproduces the real geometry and commissioning follows an agreed protocol. The full datasheet and quotation request are on the product page: https://lumeitalia.it/prodotti/matrix-r. The technical office is available for design requirement reviews at info@lumeitalia.it.
Domande frequenti
Which projects should consider MATRIX R?+
Special and underground lighting projects covering metro lines, stations, underpasses and critical environments. Suitability starts from scope classification and real geometry, not from datasheet comparison.
Which documents should be requested before specifying MATRIX R?+
Photometric files for the proposed luminaires, declaration of conformity, declared lifetime data per IES LM-80 with its conditions, maintenance schedule and warranty terms.
Is MATRIX R suitable for retrofitting an existing installation?+
It depends on the inherited geometry: existing spacings and heights must be checked with a dedicated calculation before confirming a one-for-one replacement. The technical office runs the check on request.
Why are photometric values not published?+
Because an out-of-context figure cannot be verified: the result depends on configuration, optic and installation geometry. Photometric files are available at info@lumeitalia.it.
