There are several terms that describe LED lighting, and it's important to understand these to make the right selections for your home or business. For example, the lumen is an important measurement in lighting. In this article, we'll take a look at some of the terms that are used to describe these lights and explain how they affect the way that your home or business looks. The following are a few more terms to be aware of:
Wattage. This refers to the wattage of the light bulb. Because LEDs are more efficient, a 50 Watt LED will produce significantly more light than a 50-Watt Incandescent bulb. See Figure 7 for an illustration of this. The higher the wattage, the brighter the LED. And don't forget that LEDs vary in their current ratings, so it's important to understand the difference and decide whether an LED is right for your needs.
Color rendering index (CRI). This is a measurement of the accuracy of LED color. If an incandescent bulb has a CRI of 100, an LED with an 80-90 percent CRI is generally good. If your lighting is only a small percentage below that, you may need to make some adjustments. Low CRI LEDs can still produce accurate white light, but they will not have as high a CRI as a high-quality incandescent.
Color temperature. The temperature of light emitted by LEDs is measured in Kelvins. Lower numbers are cooler than higher ones, which means that LEDs are a good option for lighting in places where you need a whiter light. In fact, Moooi was one of the first modern lighting brands to use LEDs. LED color temperature can be confusing, so it's important to read a guide on the subject before making any purchase.
Types of LEDs. Single-color LEDs produce light in a narrow range of wavelengths. Single-color LEDs produce light in the ultraviolet spectrum, while three-color LEDs emit light in the visible spectrum. These single-color LEDs require a higher voltage to operate because they are shorter wavelengths. Red/green LEDs, on the other hand, contain a mix of red and green LEDs with a cladding layer of thicker GaN. Depending on the ratio of In to GaN in the quantum wells, varying the color of light emission is possible.
The LED is also used in displays. In the commercial world, LEDs can be used as dynamic decorative signs and stadium displays. In addition, they can be used in trains and airports as destination displays. You'll be pleased to learn that LEDs have many uses beyond just light. There are also LED-controlled displays for cars and other devices that can help with navigation. However, this article will focus on LED lighting and its meaning. This article will discuss some of the most popular types of LEDs and how they work in homes and businesses.
