How to choose the right diffusion angle? The scattering angle quantifies the visual intensity of luminous flux. The measurement of the angle of aperture of a light beam - expressed in degrees (in the form "°" or "D") - is made from the point where the light source produces its maximum luminous intensity. That is the center, up to a loss of 50%. Thus, the smaller the scattering angle obtained via a reflector, the more intense and directional the scattered light will be. While a wide diffusion angle will produce a softer and diffused light. Broadcast angles and applications ·          Less than 30 ° - accent lighting used mainly in professional applications in shops, art exhibitions, museums, etc. ·          Between 30 ° and 45 ° - Directional lighting, the most common, for the enhancement of a particular object or area. This is the standard accent lighting. ·     ...

LED waterproof lighting: industrial environment Which LED lighting products are waterproof? How can I choose my LED light? LED products are used in a large number of applications because of their low energy consumption and high energy efficiency. Ideal for indoor and outdoor lighting, some fixtures available on the market are waterproof or at least water resistant. To choose the right waterproof LED light, it is important to check the level of protection of the LED. The protection rating is indicated by the letters “IP “(ingress protection in English) followed by two digits. The first indicates the level of protection against solids and the second represents the degree of protection against liquids. Anyone looking for lighting wants it to be durable and safe. Waterproof luminaires have an IP44 to the IP68 rating and can be used indoors and outdoors. However, waterproof luminaires designed for outdoor use have an IP65 rating (see IP66, IP67) and are impervious to dust...

What is the difference between an incandescent bulb and an LED bulb? Incandescent bulb How does a classic incandescent bulb work? An incandescent light bulb consists of a glass bulb containing a filling gas. The filament, made of tungsten, connected to the electrical connections is then raised to a high temperature by the passage of an electric current which then emits light. Advantages and disadvantages of an incandescent light bulb With a cheap purchase price, incandescent bulbs allow a color rendering equal to 100. This means a high perception of colors equivalent to that obtained with natural light that restores all shades of color. However, incandescent light bulbs - compared to all lighting technologies - record the worst energy efficiency since almost 90% of the energy is lost to heat the filament and not produce light. In addition, with an average life of 1000 hours, it is necessary to replace your defective bulbs regularly, which has a significant cost in t...

How can I choose the right Bulb base? The "base" is the part of the lamp that connects into the fixture and provides the electrical contact. Different variants exist as regards the caps of ampoules. With the following guide, we will explain the differences between each so that you can choose the appropriate base for your installation. Certain specific features will undoubtedly help you to find a suitable LED alternative. There are two common types of plugs, Edison (E) and Bayonet (B), and Pin (G). When replacing, always respect the base of your old bulb so that it can work! All replacements are possible without any modification (mechanical or electrical) being necessary. If you are using a dimmer, which is quite common for decorative light fixtures, be sure to opt for a compatible LED solution. Edison Screw Cap / Bayonet Cap The most common screw caps are E14 and E27, the number associated with the letter "E" for Edison is that of the diameter ...
