How to choose the right number of lumens for each piece? With LED lighting, it is essential to know what light is needed in a room. In fact, it can be difficult to choose the brightness according to a room. To do this, you need to know the number of lumens required. What is the lumen? The lumen indicates the total amount of light emitted by a light source, regardless of its direction. This indicator is crucial for determining the effectiveness of a luminaire. More specifically, it indicates the efficiency of a light source when it converts power into light. This is called the lumen per watt (Lm / W). With LED lights, this value is higher because they need less power to generate the same amount of light as non-LED lighting. With the same characteristics, a halogen bulb will give 18 Lm / W whereas an LED will give 113 Lm / W. The higher the ratio, the more effective the product. Finally, the lumen corresponds to the brightness! How many lumens per room? In ord...

Why choose a Led high bay Light? The choice of a suitable high bay light depends on several factors. For example, it is important to consider the height of the ceiling: the higher your ceiling, the more light you will need and the greater the light output. You also need to think about the products you will be lighting: if you light a warehouse, you will need a dust-proof fixture. What are the advantages of high bays lights? IP65 or more: The IP rating indicates whether the fixture is protected against dust and water. An IP65 indicates that the luminaire is perfectly protected against water and dust. As a result, your fixture will require little maintenance and will save you money. Quick return on investment: Old high bays lights used 250W or 400W discharge lamps and ballast.   it's LED high bays consume 50%less energy. Thus, a return on investment is guaranteed quickly. You do not have to use ballast anymore. On the other hand, high bays lights have a lif...

How to choose the right recessed LED Strip Light? What is a recessed LED Strip Light? Recessed LED Strip Lights are luminaires for enjoying diffuse light. They are typically installed in ceilings and are made to replace incandescent or halogen fixtures. Unlike downlights, which are used for general ceiling lighting and have a wider diffusion angle, LED Strip Lights to have a smaller diffusion angle, giving them a precise contrast between shadow and light. They are perfect for accent lighting, for example for paintings or works of art. Where can we install them? A recessed LED Strip Light can be installed on the ceiling in any room for general lighting but most of the time they are used as accent lighting. The intensity of light depends on the room but can be easily adjusted if you choose dimmable LED Strip Lights. You can also install them in entrances, hallways or even in your bathroom (make sure you have a fixture with the right IP rating). Another possibility may be...

Why choose luminaires equipped with DALI? In recent years, the management of lighting systems has made enormous progress. The time we had to press a switch to light a lamp is over. Today, advanced systems such as DALI offer several advantages such as automatic lighting or switching off of light, or the localization of malfunctions. What does DALI mean? DALI is an acronym for Digital Addressable Lighting Interface, which could be translated as a digitally addressable lighting interface. It is an international standard for communication between controllers and lighting sources, allowing the management of the entire lighting system. It has been designed by the biggest manufacturers on the market: Philips, Crest led, but it is compatible with a good number of products from other manufacturers. What are the advantages? The DALI system allows total control of the lighting. Thus, it is possible to group or isolate a certain luminaire and memorize this certain parameter. ...

How to replace your low energy lights with LED's?

How to replace your low energy lights with LEDs? This article is meant to be a practical and easy guide to comparing lighting technologies and their respective powers. Sometimes it is difficult to choose the correct equivalence between our old and new lamps, concretely when we try to change a low energy light for an LED light. We hope this guide will help you. You will find below several tables that group the equivalences between the various technologies. We obviously compare LED technology, the latter being the most current. At the end of this article, you will find a table comparing all existing technologies. Do these tables mean that you cannot choose a Watt above or below? Not. These tables are examples that allow you to understand the equivalences between technologies, but you are free to choose the Watts you want. Low Consumption Light (CFL) vs. LED Light The equivalence between different lighting technologies is often complicated to understand because it is not indic...
