The lighting of a garden and a terrace

The lighting of a garden and a terrace The technological evolution of LED lighting has led to the creation of a new range of outdoor lighting: mini spot, Lights, stud, and terminal, stake ... All these devices can be implemented to give an original and modern character to your outdoors. Here are our tips for lighting a garden. Make a light mark: The luminous markings correspond to the delimitation of a path, the body of water or terrace with the help of very discreet and weak light point (less than 1W LED). In order to be successful, several points are to be determined: What is the maximum diameter of the desired light point? The smallest Lights have outside diameters of less than 30mm, they make it possible to obtain a point of light as discreet as possible and have limited luminous power for a markup/decoration only. Example of a small recessed spot Larger exterior Lights up to 80mm offer higher light output (up to 2.5W LEDs). What spacing between the light

Are LED bulbs a hazard to the eyes?

Are LED bulbs a hazard to the eyes? Several articles have speculated that LED light sources may pose a hazard to the eyes. To verify this, the European Union commissioned a study by the European Scientific Committee SCHEER whose pre-report was published on July 6, 2017, is available here:   https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/ health / files / scientific committees / schemer / docs / scheer_o_011.pdf LEDs do not present dangers in normal use: The main conclusions of this report are very reassuring about the potential danger of LEDs: "The committee concludes that there is no direct evidence that the normal use of LED lighting is causing a negative effect on health". The LED lighting can, therefore, be used safely in a home, office or work environment. (The Committee concluded that there is no evidence of direct adverse health effects in the general population). Children under 3 must not be directly exposed to strong blue lights: Attention, the report war

LED: a trendy and ecological lighting

LED: a trendy and ecological lighting LED technology: both ecological and decorative: LED technology is gaining more and more prominence in our lighting systems. How it is advantageous and what use can it be made to brighten our interior? Brief overview. LED lamps: an undeniable ecological choice: To illuminate our interior, sunlight is a sure way to achieve substantial energy savings and reduce our electricity bills. But despite the fact that this type of natural lighting is a very interesting option to ensure our everyday comfort, it is not enough and must necessarily be associated with a source of artificial light. LED lamps and compact fluorescent bulbs are an excellent job. LED lamps can save up to 90% energy compared to ordinary lamps. This will necessarily result in significant savings when you know the price of electricity. Its lifespan - rated between 20,000 and 100,000 hours of lighting - is equally exceptional and its brightness - thanks to its light-e

Connect a LED Lights to the ceiling. Whether fixed or adjustable, dimmable (dimmable) or not, The LED spot quickly replaces old Lights such as halogen . It is now the essential accessory to create a design and elegant lighting. The set blends easily into the decor and arises in a few simple steps. Find your LED spot: If you have not found the right model yet, here is a selection of LED Lights. You can also find out more about the calculation to determine how many spot LEDs per m2 you need. Once your spot is found, you must choose the locations. If generally the Lights are installed in line with fixed or staggered spacing’s, it is interesting to break these lines to avoid a too linear design. For example, you can create a set of 4 Lights in squares above a table or add a spot ready for a table or an item to highlight. You can also play on the spacing between Lights to create more or less screened / illuminated lighting environments. Here's how to connect a LED Lig

How many LED Lights or bulbs for a room?

Image
How many LED Lights or bulbs for a room? When you want to size or change the lighting, one of the first questions that arise is to determine the number of light points needed. The idea is to find how many Lights to install on the ceiling or per m². Determine the number of Lights using lux In order to reliably calculate the number of LED Lights per room, we advise you to use the luminance that is expressed in lux. Lux is the unit of measure for luminance (symbol: lx). It characterizes the luminous flux received per unit area (1 lux = 1 lumen / m²) A lux is the illumination of a surface that receives, in a uniformly distributed way, a luminous flux of one lumen per square meter. We also have an equivalence between the bulbs. You can quickly determine the number of lux you need according to the type of room, using the following table given by the standard NF EN 12464-1 How to calculate the total brightness to bring? When you have determined the luminance in lux ac
