Selecting the Right Fixture for your Cleanroom Application

When ISO ratings, efficiency & room side access matter

Based on decades of experience and specific expertise in specialty lighting, Kenall now offers purpose-built solutions for any environmental challenges found in cleanrooms and clean spaces with the addition of the SimpleSeal™ CSSGI to the CSERI and CSEDI series. Whether it is certified performance, meeting standards of ISO rated rooms, or limited plenum space, Kenall has a fixture tailored to the unique needs of your cleanroom space. With this complete, robust family of options to choose from, this page serves as a guide to determine the fixture that best matches the specific lighting needs of your cleanroom or clean space.

Minimal Depth & Room Side Access

Cleanrooms and clean spaces contain HEPA filters, HVAC equipment, and other required mechanicals in the plenum, leaving less room for lighting. The design of the SimpleSeal CSSGI allows for minimal intrusion into the plenum space (<2.0" depth) without compromising uniform lighting across the lens. When additional space is available, the CSERI and CSEDI offer greater efficiency and an increased array of options. While Kenall features room side access in all three fixtures of this cleanroom series, we are the only manufacturer to offer it in a shallow plenum version: maintaining the integrity of the seal from both the room and the plenum sides, so critical in cleanroom environments.

ISO Ratings: The Right Fixture for the Right Space

While luminaires themselves do not carry ISO ratings, they are designed with specific features that support the stringent requirements of ISO rated spaces. When specifying lighting for these spaces, their design must support the specific ISO rating of their intended application. The following is a list of ISO rated applications:

Technician in Cleanroom Laboratory
Laboratory Technician in Photosensitive Cleanroom
Laboratory Technician in Cleanroom Hallway
ISO 3 and 4 ISO 5, 6, 7 and 8 ISO 9
  • Semiconductor manufacturing cleanroom (photolithography)
  • Medical device manufacturing cleanroom (final clean and packaging)
  • Pharmaceutical cleanroom – Aseptic filling
  • Aerospace – NASA satellite assembly, component manufacturing
  • R&D cleanroom (Universities and Federal National Laboratories)
  • Hard disk manufacturing and repair

Advanced Lighting Technologies

The CSERI and CSEDI series both offer technologies beyond standard white LEDs. When ordering a CSERI fixture, KORE Technology™ comes standard, for greater glare and contrast control, as well as higher efficiency and lower total cost of ownership. Our CSEDI family offers optional Indigo-Clean Technology for safe, continuous environmental disinfection. Optional BIOS SkyBlue™ uses circadian lighting to promote a better night’s sleep. Our optional Tunable White technology enables the user to independently control both the color temperature and intensity of light, based on the needs of the occupant or the space. Add Narrow Spectrum LED technology to light a space with a targeted bandwidth, improving technical performance or visual acuity for certain tasks and/or processes.
