Life Sciences & Cleanroom LED Lighting
Engineered from the ground up for contamination-controlled environments — ISO3 through ISO8 cleanroom rated with zero particle generation.
Lighting That Protects What You’re Building
In an ISO 5 pharmaceutical cleanroom, a single particle-shedding fixture can compromise a production batch worth millions. cleanLED is engineered around contamination control — not borrowed from a commercial product line.
Particle generation
Zero-particle operation — no thermal cycling debris, no degrading gaskets, no mechanical shedding.
VOC outgassing
Chemical-resistant, non-outgassing materials selected specifically for semiconductor and sterile-fill compatibility.
Ceiling-grid teardrop gaps
Continuous silicone gasket perimeter seals to the ceiling grid — unbroken barrier from cleanroom to plenum.
Maintenance breaches
Above-ceiling service architecture — no tools, parts, or technicians enter the classified space.
Classification range
Rated ISO 3 through ISO 8 — from semiconductor lithography down through medical-device assembly and food processing.
Service intervals
50,000+ hour rated life delays the first maintenance event by years, minimizing requalification cycles.
Engineered for Contamination-Free Environments
Built Different Than Conventional Cleanroom Fixtures
cleanLED was engineered from the ground up for controlled environments — not adapted from a commercial troffer. Three engineering decisions set it apart from competing fixtures.
Die-Formed Stainless Lens Frame — No Surface Welds
The Type 304/316 stainless steel lens frame corners are die-formed and trimmed in a single piece — not notched and seam-welded like competing fixtures. Welding burns out the chromium content of stainless steel and creates rust-prone heat-affected zones.
Uniform Edge-Lit Illumination — No Light Bars Behind Glass
An edge-lit light guide plate channels LED output through an etched pattern into a diffuser, producing a perfectly uniform luminous surface. Competing cleanroom fixtures put visible LED strip bars behind a sheet of glass — you see hot stripes, dark gaps, and direct glare.
Extruded Aluminum Body — Heat Sink and Walkable
The housing is a heavy-gauge extruded aluminum profile (>.20″ wall thickness, finned) that doubles as a structural heat sink. Aluminum conducts heat 300% better than 18-ga steel, and the finned profile adds 70% more surface area — pulling heat directly off the LED junction.
ISO Classification Coverage
cleanLED fixtures meet the requirements of ISO 14644-1 cleanroom classifications from ISO 3 through ISO 8 — covering the full range of life sciences, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor environments.
The most stringent classification. Required for advanced semiconductor lithography and nanotechnology fabrication where molecular-level contamination affects device performance.
Required for semiconductor wafer processing and advanced microelectronics assembly where sub-micron particle control is essential for product yield.
The standard for pharmaceutical aseptic fill operations and sterile compounding. FDA and EU GMP regulations require ISO 5 conditions during critical manufacturing steps.
Common for pharmaceutical packaging, biotech laboratory work, and medical device sub-assembly where controlled conditions protect product integrity.
Standard classification for pharmaceutical non-sterile manufacturing, medical device assembly, and biotech research environments requiring controlled conditions.
Entry-level cleanroom classification for food processing, general pharmaceutical operations, and controlled environments that require better than normal room conditions.
