A Type 2 light screen is not “half as safe” as a Type 4. Depending on the application, these systems can provide very reliable guarding. The light screen that you choose will be dependent on the overall degree of risk reduction and fault tolerance of your unique application or installation. This will be determined by your risk assessment and a review of the relevant standards.
