Kenall Luminaires

Engineered to Meet the Stringent Requirements of Highly Specialized Cleanroom Applications

Open AllClose All
Engineered for ISO- and BSL-Rated Environments

Kenall luminaires are purpose-built for highly controlled cleanroom and biosafety applications where contamination control is critical. Designed to support ISO-classified cleanrooms and Biosafety Level (BSL) environments, these solutions help facilities maintain the stringent environmental conditions required for manufacturing, research, laboratory, and healthcare operations. 

Designed to Protect Critical Barriers

Maintaining the integrity of the building envelope is essential in cleanroom environments. Kenall luminaires are engineered with certified sealing systems and robust construction to help preserve environmental barriers. UL/cUL listings, IP ratings, and P442 compliance support reliable performance while helping prevent the intrusion of contaminants, moisture, and particulates.

Certified for Cleanability

Cleanroom lighting must withstand rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols without compromising performance. NSF/ANSI 2 certified luminaires are designed with smooth, cleanable surfaces and materials that support effective sanitation practices. This helps facilities maintain cleanliness standards while simplifying ongoing maintenance and cleaning procedures.

Compatible with Sensitive Equipment

Advanced manufacturing, laboratory, and healthcare environments often rely on highly sensitive electronic equipment. Kenall luminaires are tested to MIL-STD-461G requirements to evaluate electromagnetic compatibility, helping reduce the potential for interference with critical instruments, monitoring systems, and specialized equipment.

Built to Withstand Cleaning Protocols and Corrosive Environments

From frequent washdowns to exposure to harsh chemicals, specialized environments demand lighting that can withstand challenging conditions. Kenall cleanroom luminaires are engineered for long-term durability, maintain performance, and support facility operations in areas subject to aggressive cleaning protocols and demanding environmental conditions.

Explore certifications, classifications, and innovative fixture designs that help support cleanroom performance, compliance, and maintenance efficiency.

Compounding Pharmacies

Compounding Pharmacies

Compounding pharmacies handle hazardous drugs that can cause health problems. Clinicians dispensing them risk accidental exposure, therefore healthcare facilities must create a controlled environment for handling them. These hazards can be reduced by following United States Pharmacopeia (USP) 797 & 800 guidelines, which recommend ISO14644-1 rated cleanroom fixtures as the only penetrations in the room.

Hazardous Locations

Hazardous Locations

Hazardous locations are defined by the presence of a specific fuel concentration in areas where electric service is also available. The NEC “Class” refers to the fuel type present; “Divisions” refer to the environment’s severity. Select Kenall SimpleSeal® luminaires are Class 1 Div 2 location listed.

Preclinical Research / Vivarium

Preclinical Research / Vivarium

Using red light and controlled dimming in vivariums allows researchers to work while preserving the animals’ natural circadian rhythms. Red light--invisible to rodents and other research animals--is used at times when white light disrupts their activity cycles; encouraging normal behavior to produce more accurate research results.
