Sustainability 3

Sustainability  In a series of 3 blog, we want to create a picture of why saving energy is important. Today part  Our first 2 blogs were about energy saving measures, their importance and the influence of LED lighting. Investing in energy-saving measures costs money, but a good investment pays for itself quickly. However, due to the complexity of the matter, help is desirable. Short payback time Investing in LED lighting is a good investment. You save 70% energy, which means that this investment is earned back in around 2 years. A shorter payback period of 1 or 1.5 years is no exception. There are also no maintenance costs for the LED lighting installation because with 50,000 or even 80,000 burning hours, replacing lamps is a thing of the past. By making the lighting installation smart, extra energy savings can be achieved. Depending on what you use, there are smart sensors that achieve extra savings of 20% to 30%. In addition to saving benefits, smart light contro...

Functionality of light

Functionality of light candlelight In a dark room, you see nothing, if you let 1 candle burn in this same room, this room changes from black to a scantily lit room. If we take the same dark room and leave 1 light bulb lit here, then you will come across a situation in which we can already do something in this room. However, this atmospheric light is still not optimal for working, but always better than the burning candle or nothing. mood light If we go one step further and let an LED light come on, then we suddenly have a lot of light where we can work almost optimally. Now you will wonder why almost optimal. Of course, you can also put too much light in a room, have no good distribution or choose the wrong light color altogether. So an important choice can be made here. light color Candlelight gives the warmest light in degrees Kelvin but is not really functional. The light bulb serves as a calibration reference. A light bulb provides atmospheric light but still no...

The color shades are very wide and the most common is between 2400K and 6500K and determines the comfort or atmosphere which lighting can cause. With a wrong color choice, the lighting can be the cause of many errors, poor productivity, varying quality of work or even high absenteeism. To arrive at the right light color choice, it is very important that the activities are properly inventoried and categorized. Co...

Functional office LED lighting

LED lighting for store & showroom

But if there is a power outage somewhere, the stores close because customers cannot be helped and the safety of staff and customers cannot be guaranteed.

It is known that light has a big influence there, a product that is put in the spotlight gets extra attention and is, therefore, better sold and therefore more sales. But the lighting installations can do more nowadays, with the help of smart systems it is easy to dim, to deploy flexible and even to follow customers. The future of lighting is not only to control light but also information flows. But back to basics, lighting serves to make life pleasant and to function better. Enlightenment is actually a basic necessity for the e...
