After
the foundation of the company in 1946 by our current managing
director Hermann Meyer, Willy Meyer+Sohn GmbH+Co. KG
soon developed into a specialised manufacturer of technical
luminaires.
The quality of our exterior luminaires is based on our
competence in the development and manufacture of technical
light fittings and
experience gained in harsh operating conditions.
The result of development and manufacturing processes
with the highest quality objectives is a range of products
which convince
the customer by their functionality and durability.
Meyer light fittings set standards in terms of lighting
technology, reliability and design.
Our products are specified by lighting consultants and
architects with the support of our worldwide network of
partners.
The
development of a new luminaire series
The development of
a new series starts
with a discussion.
The objective is to
translate the concept
into a well functioning
design. At Meyer
this is done with the
help of competent
partners such as
lighting consultants
and industrial
designers.
CAD systems help
to transform the de-
signs into technical
drawings. Dimen-
sions and materials
are defined and
form the basis for
manufacturing
tools.
In order to test
the design of a
luminaire under
realistic con-
ditions, a model
is produced.
Qualified
personnel
ensure that
material
specificat-
ions are
respected.
The
luminaire
housings are
chromate pre-
treated and sub-
sequently poly-
ester powder
coated. This
process ensures
optimal protection
against corrosion.
Computer aided programmes
for lighting calculations and
visualisations can be of
assistance when planning
lighting projects. However,
they can only reproduce
the lighting effect to a limited
extent. In order to demonstate
the application possibilities
with Meyer products, we
installed groups of luminaires
at the factory which are
programmed for various
different scenes.
Different methods
for achieving
uniform façade
illumination can
be demonstrated
using white or
coloured light.
Isolux curves have been
reproduced on large signs
in order to demonstrate the
brightness and uniformity
of various lighting methods.
Special lighting
effects can best
be demonstrated
on a a façade
after dark.
