Texal Spa, active in the textile sector for over twenty-five years, stands out for its offering of refined, high-tech fabrics. The company is equipped with state-of-the-art looms and relies on electronic tools and technologies to monitor quality standards, carefully overseeing the production process from raw material to finished fabric. In full compliance with environmental regulations, the company is also committed to using raw materials that are free from toxic substances
With this same vision, the company wanted to bring its lighting system in line with its standards of quality excellence, entrusting Imoon with the project. Imoon proposed a lighting solution tailored to the specific needs of the space. Light quality, visual comfort, and energy efficiency were the key requirements of the new installation, which replaced 410 outdated fluorescent fixtures with 384 LED luminaires.

The products used for this project belong to Imoon’s BS LED family, modular lighting rows based on SOUL (System Opal Uniformity LED) technology—an advanced optical system designed to deliver maximum uniformity and visual comfort (UGR 21). For Texal’s facility, a special version was employed, with a color temperature of 5000 K and a color rendering index above 90, ensuring ideal light quality for yarn illumination. Thanks to the high luminous output of the rows, the installation—mounted at a height of 4.5 meters—achieved 1,000 lux in the weaving area (compared to the previous 700 lux) and 2,000 lux in the section dedicated to Jacquard looms, where greater visibility is required for precise process control.
Finally, this new system, with fewer luminaires than before, has delivered overall savings: energy consumption was reduced by 69%—from 399,504 kWh/year to 128,523 kWh/year—resulting in significant cost savings. In an industrial area of 1,600 m², with a high level of illuminance, consumption amounts to just 11 W/m
