What does the term LED mean?

LED is the acronym for Lighting Emitting Diodes, in French the term LED for Electro-Luminescent Diode is sometimes used.

LED operation

An LED is a semiconductor that produces light (electroluminescence) when a low-voltage direct current passes through it.

LEDs are single-color (monochromatic)

Each LED emits a highly monochromatic light spectrum with a high purity of color. The red, green and blue LEDs are the most popular since they then make it possible to obtain all the other colors. To obtain white light, we add all of these three primary colors.

Light the intensity or luminous flux

The amount of light produced by an LED is globally proportional to the intensity and the voltage at which it is powered. Generally LEDs are designed to operate around 20mA.

Lifetime

LEDs are semiconductors that are particularly reliable and time-resistant components. Thus, the service life is at least 20,000 hours. After 20 000h of operation, the LED continues to illuminate but begins to lose light power. Unlike conventional light bulbs, an LED does not burn but illuminates less after being used a lot. These properties have made LED a vital light component in aviation, electronics and automotive.

Why LED lighting is considered the future of lighting?

Thanks to their technical qualities, LED bulbs considerably reduce energy consumption and the number of maintenance interventions. Indeed, the LEDs do not heat up, the energy is therefore devoted to lighting. In addition, they do not contain toxic products such as mercury unlike compact fluorescent bulbs (vortices). Thus, they help protect the environment and participate in sustainable development.

What is the energy efficiency of LED bulbs?

LED lighting saves up to 90% electricity compared to an incandescent or halogen bulb and 50% compared to a low energy bulb (compact fluorescent/vortex). The average efficiency of an LED is in 80 and 150 lm / W.

What kind of light do you expect?

The LED lighting is equivalent to your current lights in terms of color and lighting power. For interior lighting, we recommend choosing warm white type LEDs that are closest to traditional light sources.

What are the uses of LED lamps?

LED bulbs replace all other bulbs so they can be used in places such as houses, shops, hotels, factories, and offices. In addition, LED technology provides solutions other than conventional bulbs; for example, decorative products such as ribbons or LED strips create personal and creative atmospheres.

What is a fool or a Dimmable LED bulb?

What is a fool or a Dimmable LED bulb? The term dimmable (variable or dimmable) means a bulb that supports the variation of light intensity. This means that these dimmable bulbs can be installed on dimmers (LED compatible). They are also sometimes delivered with remotes to change the light intensity. Why install Dimmable lighting? Installing one or more dimmable bulbs allows varying the luminous intensity of your installation. This function is very important in living rooms such as living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. For example, it is common to lower the intensity of light at the end of the day to create a soft and soothing light. For example, we have dimmable recessed spotlights that are widely used in living rooms and lounges. With a good quality dimmer, lowering the intensity of its lighting can also reduce power consumption and thus reduce its energy bill. Attention, the standard drives allow a variation of 50W to 500W approximately ... For an LED it tak...

What does the term warm white mean? What is warm white? The warm white refers to a color, a hue of light, it is a light color included in 2600 and 3500K (Kelvin). This hue of warm white light corresponds to orange to yellow light. Incandescent or halogen bulbs illuminate in warm white. It is therefore historically this hue of color that is most familiar to us. LEDs in warm white is grouped into two broad categories: ·          The warm white 2700K - which corresponds to a range between 2600 and 2900K is a yellow-orange hue close to incandescence ·          The 3000K warm white - fork in 2900 and 3200K is a hue of yellow light whiter than incandescent When to use warm white lighting? The warm white creates a more peaceful, cozy atmospheres ideal for rooms such as: ·          The lounge and the relaxation areas of the evening · ...

Realize the lighting of a kitchen

Realize the lighting of a kitchen The kitchen is one of the most important rooms in the house, not only used for cooking and eating it is also a place of conviviality and exchange. To choose the lighting of a kitchen, it is necessary to take into account all the activities that will take place and find the right balance between these two simple rules: ·          avoid the complexity linked to a number of bright spots too important ·          do not settle for a single point of light for the whole piece that would penalize the overall rendering The idea is to install a bright spot for 1 to 3m². It is important to mix the different style of lighting (general lighting, functional lighting and decorative lighting) to obtain a final result is both elegant and practical. Think about the basic lighting of the room: The basic or functional lighting is intended to provide the necessary brightne...
