/ Knowledge Center / Matting Technical Info / Silver Mat Lighting Test (Study)

The goal of this experiment measures how using an Ergomat Silver Mat vs. a dark colored mat can produce dramatic results to enhance ambient lighting. In this experiment, we performed the following procedures:

• Control lighting in an area that uses dark colored matting and measure the output with a light meter.
• Keep all variables constant except replace the mat with an Ergomat Silver Infinity or Deluxe Mat.
• Notice how the light meter registers 3 times more output with the Silver Ergomat.
• Calculate how much energy & money you will save using Ergomat Silver Mats.

It's that simple! Watch the video to view the experiment in action.
