What is the difference between watts and lumens?
When purchasing LED bulbs, some buyers focus solely on the number of watts.
However, watts measure power consumption, while lumens represent the amount of light emitted.
Therefore, when comparing two LED bulbs, you should look at the light intensity in lumens and the product’s efficiency, rather than just the wattage.
How do you choose light color?
Color temperature is measured in Kelvin.
Relatively low temperatures, such as 2700–3000K, tend to produce warm light.
Higher temperatures provide a whiter or cooler appearance.
The choice depends on the nature of the space, visual comfort, and the activities performed within it.
Living room lighting
Living rooms require comfortable light distribution that reduces glare and provides suitable illumination for sitting and daily activities.
General lighting can be combined with task lighting depending on the design.
Kitchen and workspace lighting
In workspaces, general room lighting is not enough; one must ensure that light reaches the work surface itself.
Directional lighting can be useful for preparation areas, tables, and maintenance zones.
Workshop and warehouse lighting
The appropriate lighting for workshops depends on the space size, ceiling height, nature of the work, and the level of precision required.
One must also consider the distribution of light fixtures, glare, and shadows.
It is not recommended to choose the number of floodlights based on wattage alone, but rather based on lighting design and the requirements of the space.
What does the IP rating mean?
The IP rating indicates the degree of protection a product has against the ingress of solid objects and water, according to its associated test standard.
If a light fixture is to be used in a damp or outdoor environment, you must choose a product designed for those conditions.
