LED lighting for the home

Image
Lighting creates a unique atmosphere indoors and outdoors. With planned lighting, you put a special touch on your home. Efficient lighting both indoors and outdoors means that the surroundings and the house look more inviting and comfortable while increasing the security of the house. In this blog, we want to tell you more about lighting for the home and some important aspects to keep in mind when choosing to light and at the end of the blog, we recommend further reading for more specific advice and lighting tips. Indoor lighting is a natural part of the interior, but the lighting you choose and where it is placed plays a major role in how the room is experienced. Outdoor lighting is equally important. Entrances, porches, and gardens are the usual starting point for where outdoor lighting is best placed. By placing lighting in these places, the comfort and lighting environment around the house is enhanced. Planned lighting both indoors and outdoors consisting of natural and artificia...

LED vs CFL Bulbs: Which is More Energy Efficient?

The wholesale switch from incandescent light bulbs, which were discontinued for wattage above 40 watts in 2014, to the more energy-efficient compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) bulbs and light emitting diode (LED) bulbs have been evolving for years. A lot of confusion still exists, however, about these bulbs, starting with which is which. Is the long light bulb the CFL bulb and the LED the curly light bulb? Or is it the other way around — CFL is the curly light bulb and LED is the long light bulb? And that’s before we even analyze which one is more energy efficient! In short form, here are the answers: CFL is the curly light bulb and LED is the long light bulb. And, in the CFL vs LED battle for energy efficiency, the LED light benefits make it a winner, hands down. Here’s what you need to know. CFL vs LED Bulbs To understand LED light benefits, it’s important to understand the difference between the two bulbs. LED light bulbs produce light when an electrical current passes through them...

What factors affect the life of LED lamps?

According to the latest international standards, the lifetime of LED lamps with two different values ​​is set: the life of the LED module and the life of the LED ballast.  When determining the service life of a lamp fixture, both of these figures must be taken into account. The life expectancy depends on several factors, including: use LED lamp (brand and type) LED lamp load (the current user) lamp fixture structure (LED lamp or LED module temperature) used ballast product installation environment other structural materials Lifetime for LED modules The life of the LED modules is expressed by the values ​​L  70,  L  80   or L  90.   The L value represents the amount of light flux as a percentage compared to the light flux of a new lamp within the specified time frame.  The L value is accompanied by the B or C value.  The B value represents the precision or variability of the L value.  The B value for most products ...

What is LED technology?

Relatively low energy means for emitting light, the LEDs (LED) technology is used in many electronic devices that are often used in the average home.  The LED differs from the normal bulb seen in most homes because it uses an electrified semiconductor material to produce light instead of an electrified filament.  An almost omnipresent of lighting, LED technology is used in computers, televisions, remote controls and flashlights, as well as in signs, traffic lights and architectural and stage lighting. In an LED lamp, electrified energy causes the semiconductor inside the LED to emit light.  Used to produce blue or white light, nitride is one of the most common semiconductors that are applied in LED modules.  The LED technology is used in newer TVs, where it is a replacement for cathode ray lighting (CRT) that was previously common.  In LED televisions, clusters of LEDs are decorated in panels that are triggered to illuminate and the color image on the scree...

Lighting in lounge bar

Image
Imagine that everything is perfect: Cocktails on the table, people in the bar - but what about lighting?  They are either too bright or too dark.  What are you doing?  Test LEDs and create the perfect atmosphere with energy-saving LED lights ! When designing lighting on a lounge bar with LED, you have plenty of possibilities.  Nowadays, indoor areas are a popular architectural feature.  They can visually make space feel bigger, both on the outside looking in and the inside looking out.  There are especially two words that are important to remember when designing LED lamps in a lounge bar;  attention and care. Some things to remember: The small details often make a big impression. Seating in a lounge bar tends to be low. Take care of the basics: steps, ramps, corners at low tables, etc. should be easy to see. If you take care of all of the above, you have the basics.  Also, make sure the mood is changing;  dimming and stage se...
