Omron Luminaires

Omron Luminaires – Industrial & Panel Lighting Solutions

Omron luminaires encompass panel-mounted lights, control-room fixtures and signal lighting designed for industrial environments. For procurement engineers the correct lighting choice impacts visibility, maintenance-access, thermal load and compliance with standards (such as IEC 60598, EN 62471).

Omron Sub-types & Use Cases

Omron Panel Luminaires

These are compact lights built into control cabinets or machine panels. Typical features: LED sources, slim housings, cut-out diameters of 22–30 mm, often IP 65 rated for splash-proof enclosures. They're used to provide uniform interior illumination in distribution racks or inside machine enclosures.

Omron Control-Room & Ambient Lighting Fixtures

These luminaires serve operator stations, control rooms or inspection areas. They must provide low-glare, uniform lighting (e.g., 500 lx on desk plane) and minimal flicker. Materials: extruded aluminium with sealed PC diffuser, available in 24 V DC or 230 V AC versions. Ideal for command centres, SCADA rooms, or panel build rooms.

Omron Signal & Status Lighting

Includes signal towers, beacon lights and indicator fixtures built into machines. Examples: LED pilot lights (e.g., M22 series) offering 22 mm cut-out, rated 120 V DC, green colour indicating “normal”.Used on production lines, safety systems, and modular automation cells to visually display machine status.

Omron Key Parameters & Standards

• Luminous flux / illuminance: ensures correct brightness — panel lights might need 300-500 lx; control-room lighting 500-700 lx.
• Colour temperature: 4000 K (neutral white) common for machine rooms; 3000 K (warm) for operator comfort.
• Protection rating (IP): IP 20 for dry indoor use; IP 54–65 for cabinets or outdoor housings to resist dust and spray.
• Mounting and cut-out: Panel luminaires often use standard 22 mm cut-out; ambient lights mount via DIN rail or ceiling bracket.
• Standards compliance: IEC 60598 (luminaire safety), EN 62471 (photobiological safety), UL/CE marking for international markets.
• Temperature range / lifespan: Industrial LEDs rated for –20…+50 °C with L70 ≥ 50,000 h.
• Flicker & EMC: Control-room lighting must comply with EN 61000-3-2 (harmonics) and flicker < 5 %.

Why it matters: selecting a lighting fixture with too low flux means operator fatigue or error; selecting one with inadequate IP leads to premature failure in dusty or wash-down zones; non-compliant flicker may cause visual disturbance in continuous-operation shift work.

Omron Series & Features

Omron Panel Light Series (e.g., M22/M30 pilot lights)

These small format luminaires include LED indicator lights rated 120 V DC (green in one model) for machine status indication. Example part: M22R-EG-T24. Warehouse+1 They mount in standard control panel holes, use snap-in or screw mount, and are widely used for signal lighting inside panels.

Omron Vision-Lighting Units (FLV Series)

Although primarily designed for machine-vision systems, Omron’s FLV series demonstrates their LED lighting expertise: ring lights, bar lights, coaxial lights for image inspection.  While not standard luminaires for ambient lighting, the technology underscores LED uniformity, heat dissipation and compact design that can translate into panel lighting options.

Omron Ambient / Machine Room Fixtures

While less referenced in public datasheets, Omron control-panel solutions mention “panel lights” as part of their Value Design for Panel conceptThese luminaires fit inside panels or control rooms, helping reduce wiring, power consumption and cabinet size

Practical Comparison: Panel Luminaires vs Ambient-Room Fixtures

For example: in a motor control centre, a panel light inside the door allows adequate inspection; whereas in a control room you need fixtures that create uniform illumination for displays and operator tasks. Mixing them can result in poor lighting balance or maintenance issues.

How Buyers Decide & Common Mistakes

Buyer criteria to evaluate:

• Illuminance requirement: match luminaire flux to task (panel inspection vs operator work).
• Cut-out/mounting compatibility: 22 mm standard vs custom mounting bracket.
• Protection rating & environment: indoor dry panel may use IP 20; wash-down or outdoor needs IP 65.
• LED life/maintenance: choose L70 ≥ 50,000 h for continuous operations.
• Power consumption & supply voltage: ensure compatibility with panel supply (24 V DC or 230 V AC).
• Certification and supplier documentation: CE/EAC, photobiological risk, EMC harmonics.

Typical mistakes:

• Specifying lighting only by brand name without evaluating lux levels — leads to under-lit panels.
• Using pilot lights rated for panel status inside a control room — insufficient adaptation to operator environment.
• Ignoring heat dissipation in compact panels and placing lights too close to high-heat components, reducing LED lifespan.
• Choosing incorrect colour temperature — e.g., 3000 K in task-intensive control room, reducing contrast and eye strain.

Integration & Compatibility

Omron luminaires integrate into panel builds and automation systems thanks to standard cut-outs and DIN-rail compatibility. They align with Omron’s panel-building ecosystem— same wiring conventions, mounting systems, and supplier documentation. When retrofitting older cabinets, ensure replacement luminaires match the original hole size and supply voltage. For control rooms, uniform lighting aids visibility across Omron HMIs, multiplexers and distribution panels — helping maintenance and commissioning teams operate effectively.
