OFFICE AND COMMERCIAL LIGHTING WITH LEDS

Image
The choice for office and commercial lighting relative to an office can be really optimal, for many reasons: LED lighting, on the other hand, is the last frontier of this sector, so it is not surprising that it is so widely used in work contexts. Office lighting: the regulation The lighting of an office is governed by the European standard EN 12464-1, dedicated precisely to lighting concerning workplaces. In this standard, various aspects concerning office lighting are defined, such as luminance distribution, uniformity, light direction, control of natural light, color rendering index. In its most recent updates, moreover, EN 12464-1 has also introduced other aspects that must necessarily be considered when setting up lighting solutions for workplaces, for example, the brightness level of video terminals. Without going very specifically, it can be stated without any doubt that the LED lights are a genuine first choice to provide lighting for an office in full compliance...

Electrical equipment's exhibition fair.

Missing less and less from the new edition of Elettromondo, the event dedicated to electrical equipment and more generally to electricity. One of the innovations awaits the focus on conscious innovation and the evolution of technology in the sector. It's called Elettromondo and is one of the most awaited events dedicated specifically to the electricity sector in Italy, a highly qualified event for operators in the sector able to attract almost 10 thousand people over the weekend of meetings. And after a 2016 edition that set a new record for visitors, preparations are already underway for this year at the Rimini exhibition center. The electrical equipment fair.  More than 150 brands are involved in this event annually, selected among the most qualified producers in the sector, and in the two days of the event they give life to a wide range of innovative products and solutions, intercepting and anticipating industry trends: from  air conditioning  and heating to ele...

HOW TO CHOOSE BEST LED STRIPS

Image
The LED strips are an exceptional product characterized by low cost and long life. Compared to traditional light bulbs, they have higher brightness, and this allows solutions to be created lighting and design details. There are various models: first of all, we must distinguish the uses and applications we want to achieve. Here is a guide to help us choose the best-LED strips, based on the main differences, characteristics and lighting needs. LED strips: differences and characteristics On the market we find many types of LED strips, the differences consist in the degree of IP protection, in the power, in the color, in the number of LEDs. All features to be carefully evaluated before each purchase. LED strips and IP protection degree To find out if they are suitable for an internal or external application we are going to see the protection level of our LED strips. The ' IP (International Protection) indicates to us if our LED strips are fairly protected from water, du...

GUIDE TO THE ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTION OF THE LED STRIPS

Image
Easy to install and connect and versatile in applications, the LED strips are a practical lighting solution with a truly original aesthetic effect. The LED strips are used not only as a decorative element to create particular plays of light, but also as the main lighting system, and this thanks to their simplicity of connection, even in areas of the home where installing a normal lamp would be impossible, such as the corners of the ceiling. Here is a practical guide on how to cut, install and connect the LED strips correctly. These are fairly simple operations, which with a minimum of familiarity in DIY, can be performed at home. How the LED strips work? Before moving on to the assembly instructions, let's clarify what the LED strips are and how they work. Also known as strip LEDs, they consist of a series of chips that are mounted on a strip of copper or aluminum. In addition to the chips, or the LED lamps that generally are present in a number that varies from 30...

REPLACE THE HALOGEN BULBS WITH LEDS

Image
Replacing halogen or incandescent lamps with LED LIGHTS   represents a very useful solution that allows for obtaining different advantages in terms of energy saving. First and foremost, light bulbs are electrical devices that produce light and are classified according to voltage (V) and power absorbed by the network, expressed in Watts (W). The lumens instead express the degree of brightness emitted by the lamp. The ratio between the visible light energy emitted and the absorbed electrical energy is defined as luminous efficiency. Part of the energy produced is lost, dissipated as heat or emitted light not visible to the human eye (e.g. infrared or ultraviolet light). Based on the type of technology used, we mainly distinguish 4 types of bulbs: incandescent, fluorescent, halogen and LED. We see the main characteristics of the various types of lamps and why it is good to replace halogen lamps with LEDs. Incandescent bulbs They produce light by bringing to incandesc...
