The Telegraaf Printing Group in Amsterdam has two identical printing rooms in which various newspapers are printed on a daily basis. The lighting in these rooms dates from 1985 and was due for replacement. Energy conservation is important for the Printing Group. In addition, particularly lighting quality, colour recognition and maximal reduction of shadowing are crucial for the printing process. Furthermore, the fittings must be chemically resistant and less prone to vibration.
