The angle of lighting is it important?

Image
The angle of LED lighting is often overlooked when buying light. However, power and price are not everything! If you want to provide your interior with proper lighting, you should pay attention to the angle of incidence of light, which sometimes has a huge impact on adequate lighting. In today's post, we'll explain what a usable lighting angle is and why you should pay attention to it when purchasing. There are various LED bulbs on the market that differ in their design.  It is not only about shape, appearance or power, but above all, it differs from the angle of illumination, the area on which the light source will provide lighting.  It is worth knowing that one bulb with a large angle of light scattering will appear to be weaker than, for example, three with a small angle of diffusion in the same area. The too closely focused light is considered an angle of incidence of around  30 °,  which is dedicated to places that are supposed to expose one particular pro...

How is colored LED lighting created?

Image
The RGB model (Red, Green, Blue) is responsible for the perception of colors by our eye. RGB is based on the imperfections of the human eye, thanks to which the combination of three beams of light in a proper way evokes the illusion of perceiving a specific color. Do you remember art in primary school? "If we mix red and yellow, we will have orange." In a simplified translation, this is how RGB works. In the developed translation, we must take into account that the number of shades and colors does not close in those with whom we commune on a daily basis. There are infinitely many of them. In the case of LED lighting , the color is also dependent on the voltage dosage. Most of the visible colors by us are just a matter of convention. Only three basic colors. The festival of colors offers more, as many as five.  However, just like colored LED lighting, colored powders are the result of mixing.  RGB technology is mainly used in the lighting industry, more precisely during the...

LED profiles - how to choose the right one?

Image
Using popular lighting, which is a LED strip , we often forget about the appropriate frame, which can prevent an undesirable failure. The most popular form of binding is the so-called LED profiles made of aluminum or plastic. LED profiles are used mainly in the furniture industry. However, using them in other light arrangements you can get a stunning effect. What is the use of LED profiles? The main reason for using LED profiles is the desire to maintain aesthetics in the use of light.  Of course, we can use LED strips without binding, but remember to be more susceptible to damage.  In addition, the luminous strip devoid of the profile reflects the light spot and gives the effect of the so-called  effect of "light bead".  Instead of nicely scattered light, we are dealing with points on the wall.  Applying the profile beautifully removes the undesirable effect. An additional discomfort when using the tape on the furniture will be its disassembly.  Remova...

LED tapes have been popular for many years on the market. We mentioned them here. The high sales results of LED strips have many advantages, which today we will thoroughly analyze and combine with the disadvantages (yes, LED strips also have disadvantages). Simple assembly How to say the slogan of a popular Scandinavian store "Be a hero in your home".  When mounting LED strips, you can even become a superhero because it does not require special electrical skills.  LED strips are equipped with a PCB backing, which is glued with adhesive tape.  The manufacturer expects us only to clean the surface on which the tape is to be found.  After thoroughly degreasing the space, stick the tape and it's ready! Energy efficiency LED strips, unlike traditional light sources, are free from elements harmful to us and the environment.  They are energy-efficient and their use does not stretch our budget.  We wrote about the ecology and energy efficiency...

Street LED lights

The right color of light Yellow light, once the most popular on the streets, today less and less frequently encountered.  Why does this fall in popularity?  Initially, the yellow color was considered the best possible because it increases the concentration of the driver while driving.  An additional advantage was the sharpening of visibility in difficult weather conditions, eg fog. Today it's hard to find a street lit yellow.  The most popular color used in street lighting , pavements and parks are white.  The lack of that affects a better perception of the surroundings after dark, it is more similar to the natural one.  According to the research carried out, according to passers-by, white light increases comfort and gives a greater sense of security. In the years of using the yellow color of street lamps, city monitoring was not used.  Today, by mounting cameras on the streets, we want to ensure the right quality of recordings, and the whit...
