Frequently asked questions
What is Academy and where is it typically used?
Academy is a curved profile LED linear luminaire with opal TP(a) diffusers, built for surface mounting or suspension across three different lengths. Its clean architectural profile makes it a common choice for school and hospital lighting where a robust yet unobtrusive fitting is needed. Ricoman backs Academy with a 5 year warranty, giving specifiers confidence for education and healthcare projects.
What is Academy's efficacy and diffuser fire rating?
Academy delivers an efficacy of around 111 to 125 lumens per watt, keeping running costs down on projects lit for long hours such as schools and hospitals. Its polycarbonate diffuser is TP(a) rated, giving specifiers the fire safety documentation many public-sector projects require. This combination of efficiency and compliance data supports its use in education and healthcare settings.
What control and emergency options can Academy be specified with?
Academy supports DALI 2, 0-10V and DSI dimming, along with wireless Casambi control, so it can be integrated into most standard lighting control strategies. It can also be specified with a PIR sensor, integral emergency operation, DALI emergency, or a Z10 remote control integral emergency version for testing without physical access. Covering this many functions from one fitting reduces the number of separate products needed on a school or hospital corridor.
What should installers know before fitting Academy?
Academy can be surface mounted, suspended, or fitted into BESA boxes, with side cable entry to keep wiring tidy during first fix. Its steel body with plastic end caps keeps weight manageable, ranging from 2.70kg to 4.40kg depending on length, and the optional 1.5m suspension kit supports pendant installations. These options give contractors flexibility when fitting Academy into existing ceiling layouts.
What warranty and build standards does Academy meet?
Academy is backed by a 5 year warranty and an L70 B50 rating of 70,000 hours, giving specifiers a long service life to quote on education and healthcare projects. It carries an IK08 impact rating and a CRI above 85 Ra, supporting both durability and accurate colour rendering. It has already been used in installations such as Lighthouse offices in Leeds.
