Industry Sectors Served

VYRTYCH luminaires are deployed across a wide range of industrial and commercial sectors. The company designs and certifies its products to meet the specific lighting challenges, regulatory requirements, and environmental conditions of each sector.

Chemical Industry

Explosive and corrosive atmospheres are common in chemical manufacturing. VYRTYCH's ATEX/IECEx-certified luminaires (Zone 1/21 and Zone 2/21) provide safe, reliable illumination for reactors, storage tanks, process areas, and outdoor chemical plants. IP66/IP67 ratings protect against chemical splashes, and EPDM gaskets resist aggressive media.

Oil & Gas

Offshore platforms, refineries, and gas processing plants demand the highest level of explosion protection. VYRTYCH's Zone 1/21 certified range provides the reliability required in these safety-critical environments, supported by ATEX and IECEx dual certification for global project use.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Pharmaceutical production requires luminaires that meet cleanroom standards, resist disinfectants, and comply with GMP guidelines. VYRTYCH's ODIS-LED range delivers hygienic, flush-profile clean room lighting with dual IP ratings (IP66/IP50).

Food Industry

Food production facilities require luminaires that can withstand high-pressure wash-downs, resist corrosion, and maintain hygiene. IP69K-rated AQUA-70-LED and IP66 industrial luminaires are ideal for food processing environments.

Clean Rooms & Medicine

Medical facilities, operating theaters, and cleanrooms require luminaires with minimal particle emission, easy decontamination surfaces, and consistent colour rendering. VYRTYCH's ODIS range was installed in the new IKEM Medical Pavilion in Prague, Czech Republic.

Energy Sector

Power plants, substations, and energy infrastructure require robust luminaires that perform in high-voltage environments and adverse weather. VYRTYCH's industrial and ATEX ranges meet these requirements.

Production Plants & Manufacturing

From automotive to heavy manufacturing, production plants need reliable, energy-efficient lighting solutions. VYRTYCH offers high-output industrial luminaires with DALI2 control and long LED lifetimes minimizing maintenance costs.

Paint Shops & Surface Treatments

Paint spraying and surface treatment areas generate explosive vapor/dust atmospheres (typically Zone 2/22). VYRTYCH's Zone 2/22-certified luminaires provide compliant illumination in these environments.

Transport & Logistics

Logistics warehouses, distribution centers, and transport hubs need high-output, reliable luminaires with long maintenance intervals. IP65+ ratings protect against dust and occasional water exposure in loading docks.

Public Sector

Public sector applications including tunnels, car parks, municipal buildings, and sports halls require luminaires that balance performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. Antivandal properties are often required.

Agricultural Sector

Agricultural environments present unique challenges including dust, moisture, chemical fertilizer exposure, and pest pressures. VYRTYCH's IP66+ luminaires provide reliable lighting for barns, greenhouses, and processing facilities.
