APPLICATIONS FOR LED LIGHTING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE

Image
In recent years, LED technology has developed rapidly.  The first LEDs were used in electrical devices and showed by a red glow, whether the device is on.  Today, LEDs are used almost everywhere.  By widely available light colors and high light output, the LED can be used for almost any purpose.  The small LEDs convince by their adaptability and find more and more useful in general lighting. LED stands for light-emitting diode or luminescence diode.  Invented in 1962, the LED lights served for about 30 years initially as a light indicator and for signal transmission.  It was not until the late 1990s that it was used for the first time in the field of LED lighting.  Thanks to continuous technological improvements, the LED with its many advantages has arrived today in everyday use.  Often criticized in the past, the LED is enjoying increasing popularity today.  Last but not least, the ban on incandescent lamps in 2008 contributed to t...

THE LIGHT COLORS OF OUR LED BULBS

WARM WHITE - HERE IS THE COMFORT IN THE FOREGROUND Characteristics: Corresponds to the light of the bulb and creates a pleasantly warm and cozy atmosphere.  Natural materials are particularly effective.  Usually used in the living area for direct and indirect lighting eg in furniture.  More room for maneuver is provided by LED bulbs, which are dimmable.  Areas of application: For example, like a ceiling light, ceiling light, wall light and recessed wall luminaire in the living area, sales and waiting areas in which a warm atmosphere is preferred. NEUTRAL WHITE - THE PLEASANT WORKING LIGHT Characteristics: Located between warm and daylight white.  Ideal for working without completely losing the feel-good character.  It is pleasantly bright and inviting, already offers a good color rendering and increased contrast.  Areas of application: U. a.  as recessed ceiling spotlight, ceiling light, wall light and recessed wall spotlights in kitchen,...

10 MYTHS AND FAIRY TALES ABOUT LEDS - THE FACT CHECK

Image
Even today many prejudices circulate around the energy-saving LED (light-emitting diode, also known as a light-emitting diode). She was not bright enough, give off cold light or even harmful to health. That is long gone. We clean up with the 10 most famous myths and fairy tales about LEDs and show you what the LED really can do. 1. LEDs HAVE AN UNNATURAL COLOR RENDERING The opposite is the case. LEDs can reproduce colors almost faithfully. This is measured with the color rendering index CRI (Color Rendering Index). Very good color rendering is when all spectral colors are contained as in sunlight. Then the colors of the illuminated object look natural. Sunlight has a CRI of 100, a white LED is between 70 and 95, a high-pressure sodium vapor lamp has a value of -44. The lower the CRI, the worse the colors are rendered - the higher the more pleasing the colors are to the human eye. Tip: the CRI can be increased by avoiding "warm-white" LED bulbs . 2. LEDs ARE NOT ENVI...

A beautiful home is nothing without the right lighting.  Light creates the atmosphere.  It can make highlights such as a large bookcase seem imposing or separate space areas from each other.  Too much- led lighting dazzles, too little leaves us in the dark.  It depends on the right size and the right light.  We'll show you how to plan the right lighting for your living room, hallway, and any other space, and what to look for.

Indirect luminaires create a feel-good light, but at the workplace, on the other hand,...

SPECIFICATIONS OF LEDs 10 TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND

Image
LEDs are becoming increasingly popular. Their design and function ensure unbeatable energy efficiency, which is why the LED has now surpassed the energy-saving lamps. But even with LEDs, there are some differences that should be considered: energy consumption, luminosity or color. The information on the packaging must be understood in order to find the right LED . That is why we show you today what the packaging information in the form of symbols or numbers exactly means. 1. LUMINOSITY Lumen is the key value for the brightness of an LED. In contrast to the good, old wattage Lumen describes the brightness much better. Because the value indicates how high the amount of light that actually radiates a lamp. Today's Watt specifications of modern bulbs are significantly lower than conventional bulbs. On the packaging, you will often only find values ​​between three and nine watts. This is because modern lighting technology consumes much less power. The wattage of modern bulbs, the...
