How to choose the right bulb?


We will first explain what a bulb is. This is the most common spot. Is the name of a type of socket or base? Two short, square pins protrude from the base of the bulb. It is a push-and-twist connection.

I want to change my halogen for the LED, what should I look for?

When you switch to the LED, it is important that you know the power of the current bulb. You can find it easily by visiting the   LED a product page on the left. Click on the current power you have and you will see all possible substitutes. Then you have to define the type of light color that suits you. We are interested in Kelvin when we talk about the temperature of light:

  • ·         Very warm white light - especially used for a comfortable atmosphere e.g. for dining rooms or bedrooms.

  • ·         Warm white light - similar to the temperature above, but is more used in productive places like restaurants, hotels, or kitchens.

  • ·         Cold white light - this is the type of lighting installed in offices, workplaces where optimum concentration is required.

  • ·         Daylight - is installed in places where high brightness is needed such as garages, hospitals or laboratories.


What kind of spots should I choose?

Once the power and light temperature is set, you have to worry about where you place your spot. This is important because each spot has a certain beam angle. This is the angle of light emission. The smaller the angle of diffusion, the narrower the ray of light. For example, a smaller angle is used to accentuate the lighting of a work of art in a museum. A wider radius will be suitable for more general lighting. In commercial use spots between 24 ° and 40 °.

Is a LED dimmable?

Yes! When you select the filters on the LED Street Light products page you can opt for dimmable yes or not. When the bulb is graduated, the brightness decreases. There are also spots that can change color. These offer the possibility to vary the light color between 2700K - 2200K, so a light more and hotter. You can give your room a more intimate atmosphere.

How to choose the right beam angle?

How to choose the right beam angle? A beam angle: what is it? The beam angle of a lamp is the angle at which light is scattered. The light beam creates a surface of light where the light actually shines. The latter is created thanks to a reflector. The smaller the scattering angles, the narrower the beam. This is illustrated in the image below. The beam the angle in general... The beam angle is expressed in degrees "°" or "D”. The most commonly found angles are 24 °, 36 °, and 40 °. The right angle choice depends on the intended use of the light. The angles of 10 ° The small angle: ideal when applying accent lighting. This serves for example when you want to illuminate a work of art. From 25-40 ° These are larger angles that give a wide angle. Beam angles of 25 ° to 40 ° are the most common. They are usually found in shops, restaurants, and homes. Beam angles> 60 ° The wide angle of light diffusion. They are commonly found in wareho...

Are LEDs waterproof?

Are LEDs waterproof? There are a number of waterproof LEDs. Our LED products, whether high-bay LED or waterproof strips can ideally equip parking, warehouses, etc. Which LED products are waterproof? When it comes to equipping specific areas such as warehouses and car parks with light and lighting, it is important to have luminaires that are protected against external aggressions: dust, splashing water or rain, and moisture can be harmful to the devices. Thus, lighting fixtures (and others) are certified to attest to their water tightness whether against dust or splashing water. To learn more, we invite you to watch the blog on the protection indices. In addition, the long life that LED allows is a great asset. This avoids making repeated changes because a fixture has burned out. With nearly 50000 hours of life on average, you are guaranteed to reduce your energy costs and expenses. LED lighting for the home With a light suitable for indoor and outdoor light...

Which color temperature should I choose for an LED lamp?

Which color temperature should I choose for an LED lamp? The first commercialized LED lamps were generally bluish in color. Over time, LED lamps have evolved significantly, both in terms of color and power. So we find color temperatures ranging from a very warm white to a color approaching the light of day. Today, LED Strip Lights are able to have a warm and pleasant color rendering, similar to the bulbs of the older generation: incandescent bulbs. Also, note that it is important not to mix different color temperatures in the same room, to keep a light and a homogeneous atmosphere. The importance of the color of light lies in the atmosphere given to a room: 1500 - 2400K Romantic atmosphere Rooms and living rooms 2400 - 3000K Warm atmosphere Houses, restaurants, hotels 3000 - 3500K For a warm and productive space Kitchens and hallways 3500 - 4500K Productive environment Offices and industries 4500 - 6500K ...
