SPECIFICATION |
DEFINITION |
TYPE |
Defines what kind of light it is, i.e. halogen, LED, fluorescent, etc. |
WATTAGE |
Defines the energy consumption of the fixture |
CRI |
Important character in areas where color should be truly represented. For applications involving people, a CRI lower than 70 is not recommended. In shopping areas a CRI of 90 and higher is applicable. |
LUMENS |
Responsible for the brightness in a room-the more lumens, the brighter the fixture is illuminating the space |
LUMEN PER WATT |
Determines the efficiency of the lighting system-the higher the lm/W the better the ecological footprint of the product |
LUMEN MAINTENANCE |
How fast LEDs lose their brightness compared to new products (most manufacturers refer to the time when most of the LEDs reach 70% and less of their initial lumen output) |
COLOR TEMPERATURE |
Defines the mood or ambience in a room. Low-quality lighting fixtures have a very cool temperature as these LEDs are more efficient than warm white LED products. A color temperature higher than 6000K is not recommended for many areas. |
BEAM ANGLE |
The light is radiated into the indicated beam angle-LEDs are direct light sources with typical beam angles of 120° to 180° |
LIFE HOURS |
Defines the lifetime of a LED product. LEDs last from 50,000h up to 100,000h |
WORKING VOLTAGE |
High quality LED products have an integrated driver, retrofit solutions are delivered with the suitable ballast already |
FREQUENCY |
Detail about the admitted voltage frequency |
POWER FACTOR |
Efficiency of the ballast |
TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION |
Describes the distortion caused by ballasts and other inductive loads of the input current on alternating current power systems |
OPERATING TEMPERATURE |
The light source is operating under the mentioned conditions according to the manufacturer datasheet-other temperatures will cause the light source to fail or not work properly |
IP RATING |
The protection of the light source, ballast and wiring against liquids and solid objects |
DIMMABLE |
Dimming is the change in light source brightness, mostly undertaken by smart controls |
DIMENSIONS |
The fixture’s size, important for the definition of the mounting position and space |
NET WEIGHT |
The fixture’s weight, important for the mounting construction |
HOUSING |
The housing surrounds the light source and ballast-the higher the IP rating, the better protection against liquids and solid objects |
MOUNTING |
Possible mounting ways-mobile, table, ceiling, wall |
WARRANTY |
How long after purchasing the products are ensured to function properly |
