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.
  • ·         Between 45 ° and 60 ° - directional lighting that provides a light intensity that is not too directive or too broad.
  • ·         Greater than 60 ° - General lighting for diffusion of light on the floor and walls without ceiling lighting, therefore without loss of brightness.

Examples.
  • ·         Cooked. Accent lighting is required above the work surfaces by positioning spotlights with 35 ° to 40 ° diffusion angles.
  • ·         Stay. Wide diffusion spotlights, from 90 ° to 120 °, is a good compromise to create uniform general lighting throughout the room.


Food industry

In the food industry, safety is not only important, but it's also crucial. It is necessary to have luminaires that can withstand the temperature and corrosive fumes. Robust, waterproof luminaires protect bulbs from moisture and, since no glass is used in the manufacture of LED bulbs and fixtures, the risk of breakage and contamination with glass, debris is drastically reduced - creating an environment also safer for the staff. In addition, the reliability and long life of LED solutions reduce the complications, risks, and costs associated with stopping production to replace fixtures that are premature or failing.

Clean room / clean room

In the pharmaceutical industry, strict controls are necessary to respect the integrity, hygiene, safety, and security of products. Also, hygienic facilities require IP65 fixtures that are easy to clean and dust-free to meet all lighting requirements and standards to reduce the risks of maintenance activities.

High Power Lights

  High Power Lights Covered parking Quality lighting is essential to providing a positive user experience in a garage. Bright, uniform lighting reduces shadows and improves visibility, helping people feel safer and drivers more in control of their vehicle. However, this requires continuous lighting 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, which is very expensive. In this way, LED products - designed to control the distribution of light, illuminate large areas and provide a light and indirect light to guide people to the door - offer a safe, secure, cost-effective and sustainable solutions for lighting. Covered car parks. EXTERIOR LIGHTING Luminaires used outdoors are exposed in the long term to natural variations in the environment (rain, dust, icy snow, wind, high temperature, etc.). Resistance, water and dust resistance, as well as heat resistance and "anti-aging" properties, will be considered when choosing fixtures. Safety and security are essential factors...

What is the difference between an incandescent bulb and an LED bulb?

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...
