General knowledge and commonly used terms by LED lighting

Below you will find useful general tips and facts about the different products before you decide to buy LED lighting. If you are not sure which product is best suited for your situation, please contact us. Please feel free to contact our customer service at our specialists will be happy to help you make the right choice.

How do I choose the right light colour?

• For traditional lamps such as fluorescent tubes, incandescent lamps, energy saving lamps and gas discharge lamps, the light color is usually indicated by the numbers 827, 830, 840, 860. The 8 stands for 80 Ra, which indicates that objects under this lighting retain their natural colours. The last two digits; 8(27), 8(30), 8(40), 8(60) represent the number of Kelvin, which is the unit used for the light colour. The lower the K number, the warmer (yellower) the light color.
  
  
• 2700K = extra warm white (for extra atmospheric light)
• 3000K = warm white (atmospheric warm white light)
• 4000K = neutral white (the right light colour for the office)
• 6000K = daylight white (the perfect light colour for workshops, production and warehouses)

What are lumen?

• The amount of light emitted by a lamp is expressed in lumens, which is usually abbreviated after a number with "lm". It is an easy principle. The more lumens, the more light a lamp emits. A classic fallacy is that one thinks that when a LED lamp has a higher number of Watts, more light will come out of it. This doesn't have to be true at all.
• There are LED lamps with a low lumen/watt ratio and also LED lamps with a high lumen/watt ratio. We call this "High Lumen" because these lamps give the same or even more light with less energy consumption. So if you want to save as much energy as possible, look for LED lamps that have a high watt/lumen ratio.

What does an IP value mean?

You often see an IP value for lighting, what does it mean?

• An IP value is the abbreviation of (Ingress Proctection) which indicates how dust and or waterproof a product is. The lower the IP value the less well the product is protected against the penetration of dust and moisture. For most indoor applications an IP20 value is sufficient when the products are used in a dry indoor environment.
• However, if you would like to purchase lighting for your bathroom, for example, we advise you to purchase lighting that has a minimum IP44 value. If you want to use the lighting in your bathroom in the shower, you need an IP value of 65. The higher the IP number, the better the product is protected against dust and moisture. This is also important for all lighting you buy for outdoor use such as your garden lighting, the minimum IP value for this should be IP44, many of our outdoor LED lamps are even equipped with an IP54 or even IP65 certification so you can be sure that you will enjoy your lighting for many years to come.
• If you want to know more about IP values click here and read our blog about IP rates.

Useful information about our Products

LED Floodlight

How do I safely connect an LED floodlight to the 230V mains voltage?

• An LED floodlight is often used outdoors, the LED floodlight are supplied with 230V mains voltage. It is therefore very important to safely connect the cable that is connected to the LED floodlight to your 230V mains power supply. For this, it is best to use an IP68 cable connector, with which you can make a perfect watertight and safe connection. We also have this available in an IP68 T-cable connector, which is very useful if you want to mount several LED floodlights in series.

T8 LED Tubes

How do I choose the right LED T8 tube?

• With traditional fluorescent tubes, the number of watts is connected to the length of the fluorescent tube. The higher the wattage, the longer the tube. If you now have a traditional 36 Watt fluorescent tube you can replace it with a 120 cm - 18 Watt LED tube. If you have a traditional 58 Watt fluorescent tube you can replace it with a 150 cm - 22 Watt LED tube.
• Be careful when choosing a good replacement for your old fluorescent tubes, not the Wattage but the number of lumens determines how much light a LED tube emits, the higher the lumen, the more light a LED tube emits. A handy tip for this is to google first to the type of tube you currently have and see how much lumen it emits, then find the right LED tube which emits about the same number of lumens.

Do I need to pay attention to anything else when installing a LED tube?

• Most existing fixtures are equipped with a ballast, also known as a VSA (ballast). When it concerns a magnetic ballast you have the possibility to replace the LED tubes 1:1 you have to remove the old starter from the fixture and place the LED dummy starter in its place. However, it is much better and we advise you to disconnect the ballast, because the ballast is no longer needed for the use of LED tube and will only use 30% extra current. Also, the lifespan of your new LED tubes will be reduced by half! 
• Our LED tubes are not suitable for fixtures that have an electronic ballast or VSA. 
• Do I have to remove the ballast from my existing fixtures? This is certainly not necessary if you disconnect the ballast and it can remain in place. Connect your fixture directly to your 230V mains voltage, make sure that your fixture is only connected to the mains voltage on one side. 
  When you have adjusted the fixture, it is very important that you take a good look at the LED tube before you install the new LED tubes, because the LED tubes may only be placed with the INPUT side to the side of the fixture where the 230V mains voltage is connected to the fixture. If you do this accidentally wrongly, the new LED tube can be irreparably damaged, this is not covered by the usual warranty!
