Image
The kitchen The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, where many activities take place. Thus, it is essential to have the ideal amount of light. First, you need a fixture above the table. Then you have to make sure there is enough light above the worktop. In this room, you have to find between 2000 and 4000 lumens. The stay The amount of lumen required for the stay is not the same between the living room and the dining room. For the living room, you do not need to have much brightness, what we recommend is to equip you with  dimmable LED lights . You will be able to choose the ideal atmosphere for each moment. In this space, you will need 1500 to 3000 lumens.

The bathroom: The bathroom is the room where you need a lot ...

What does the power factor mean?

Advantages of LED Lighting LED lighting has many advantages in comparison with conventional lighting. The LED consumes less energy, has a longer life and uses no toxic gas. However, there are LED bulbs with disadvantages. If the power factor of lighting is low, it can cause pollution in the electrical system. This can cause damage to the power grid and become a problem for us all. A power factor of a Light  The power factor of a light source indicates the amount of energy that is redirected in our power grid. The power factor is calculated by dividing the apparent power and the actual power. For an incandescent bulb, this factor is 1, the apparent power and the real power is similar. But the power factor of the led can, for example, be 0.3. The apparent power is then stronger than real power. As a result, some of the electricity is returned to the grid, generating a reactive current, one of the main causes of network polluti...

How to choose the right recessed LED spotlight?

Image
What is a recessed LED spotlight? Recessed LED spotlights 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 spotlights 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 spotlight 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 spotlights. 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 to install them inside...

How to replace your low energy bulbs with LEDs?

Image
Sometimes it is difficult to choose the correct equivalence between our old and new lamps, concretely when we try to change a low energy bulb for an LED bulb. 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 Bulb (CFL) vs. LED Bulb The equivalence between different lighting technologies is often complicated to understand because it is not indicated on the packaging. The low energy bulb has made its way into the market and has led to considerable energy savings. However,...
