COLOR TEMPERATURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

People should be able to enjoy the full benefits of natural light even from within their comfortable houses. This is why LEDs systems are used for internal lighting purposes; their light spans the total visible wavelengths, but without the unwanted ultraviolet rays effects. This type of light is also used to point out and enhance natural colours as well as the quality and beauty of products in expositions.<\/p>\n

CT or Colour Temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) and it refers to the type of light emitted by the light source. It can be either \u201chot light\u201d – lower CT values; the source has a tone shifting towards yellow – or \u201ccold light\u201d – higher CT values; the source tone shifts towards blue -.<\/p>\n

Elettrolab employs scrupulous methods and well-defined procedures for the selection of colour BINs. All LED systems are accurately chosen by considering every possible colour temperature and parameters combination. In each LED, all CT variations of are tightly controlled with the highest possible accuracy and every system is designed and developed to keep the overall colour temperature uniform and perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_single_image image=”2954″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” width=”1\/4″ el_position=”last”] [\/spb_row] [spb_row parallax_video_height=”video-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ row_overlay_opacity=”0″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_single_image image=”2962″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” el_class=”testimgwid” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”]\n

SUSTAINABILITY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Light Emitting Diodes or LEDs are made of non-toxic raw materials and, differently than fluorescent lamps, which contain Mercury (Hg) and are highly polluting. LEDs can be recycled. \u00a0LEDs do not emit neither infrared (IR) nor ultraviolet (UV) radiations; they do not emit heat and above all, they do not directly blind. Instead they fully comply with the definition of \u201ctotally green\u201d light.<\/p>\n

LEDs are also called \u201ccold light technology\u201d because their heat signature is insignificant if compared to traditional lighting systems (e.g. light bulbs, fluorescent and halogen lights etc.) that generate more heat and present much lower efficiencies. Overall, LEDs have very low energy consumption figures; so they are able to generate and dissipate much less heat if compared to their traditional system counterparts.<\/p>\n

Thanks to their intrinsic manufacturing characteristics, these tiny lighting systems are subjected to less wear than traditional fluorescent lights, so they can boast a much longer lifespan, virtually up to 10 times those of traditional lighting sources.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_row wrap_type=”content-width” row_bg_color=”#dbd7d7″ parallax_type=”color” bg_type=”pattern” parallax_video_height=”video-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ row_overlay_opacity=”0″ row_padding_vertical=”30″ row_margin_vertical=”30″ remove_element_spacing=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

EXTRAORDINARY COLOURS<\/h3>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”]\n

THE PRODUCTION OF THE LED LIGHT COLOURS<\/strong><\/h3>\n

LEDs (light emitting diodes) typically emit a specific wavelength hence a specific colour, which depends on its semiconductor material.\u00a0LEDs are made by combining elements such as phosphides or arsenide.\u00a0Various combinations of these elements release varying amounts of energy, according to the semiconductor material\u2019s band-gap.<\/p>\n

When charge carriers recombine, photons are emitted according to specific and discrete energy levels; this generates the particular light colour.\u00a0For example, blue light is produced when high level of energy is released, while red light is emitted when a lower level of energy is involved.\u00a0Thus monochromatic (single colour) light is produced.<\/p>\n

A peculiar LEDs feature is that, each LED\u2019s light colour is limited to a very narrow range of wavelengths (aka dominant wavelengths) therefore only represents a specific light colour.\u00a0The only spectrum that cannot be directly produced by the chips themselves is that associated with white light, since this one represents a mixture of all possible colours.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_single_image image=”2964″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” el_class=”testimgwid” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”] [spb_single_image image=”2967″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” el_class=”testimgwid” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”]\n

LED WHITE LIGHT CREATION.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Photoluminescence is the most common method used nowadays to produce LEDs white light; in this process a thin phosphorus layer is applied on top of a blue LED.<\/p>\n

LED\u2019s blue light (shorter wavelength and energy-rich) stimulates the phosphorus layer to light up and emit lower-energy, yellow light. The colour tone of the emitted white light varies as the amount of the phosphorus colorant; different white tones are thus produced: warm white, neutral white and cold white.<\/p>\n

Another method employed to produce white LED light is based on the principle of additive colour mixing. With this method, white light is produced by mixing red, green & blue lights (RGB) at different wavelengths. One of the advantages of this method is that the light colour can be produced and adjusted in a controlled way. This process is used for instance, in LED television where LEDs are used to produce both pictures and background lighting.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_row parallax_video_height=”video-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ row_overlay_opacity=”0″ width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_single_image image=”579″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” el_class=”testimgwid” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”]\n

EASE OF\u00a0CONTROL<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Compared to the dull glow of traditional lighting sources and their limited applications,\u00a0LED lighting systems are low voltage microelectronic innovative products, used to create and explore new possibilities.\u00a0These unprecedented lighting systems have unlimited potential and yet undiscovered applications.\u00a0LEDs characteristics of flexibility, portability, seamless integration with nowadays IT systems, communication networks, image processing methods and optoelectronic equipment, make these devices the most adaptable, successful and easily upgradable available today.<\/p>\n

LED lights dimming is used to save energy and change the overall visual effect of the enlightened environments. While it is possible to use a dimming LED lamp in a non-dimming circuit, it is strongly NOT recommended to use a non-dimming LED light in a dimming circuit because this could damage both the lamp and the circuit itself.\u00a0Integrated lamps are clearly labelled either \u201cdimming\u201d or \u201cnon-dimming\u201d both on their packaging and on the lamp itself.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_single_image image=”2969″ image_size=”full” frame=”noframe” intro_animation=”none” full_width=”no” lightbox=”no” link_target=”_self” el_class=”testimgwid” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”last”]\n

Diversi\u00a0 inconvenienti si possono verificare quando si utilizza un dimmer\u00a0 incompatibile con una lampada a LED:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Flickering: Lamps will flicker (can also occur if a non-dimming lamp is used)<\/li>\n
  2. Drop out: No light output at the end of the graduated scale<\/li>\n
  3. Dead travel:\u00a0Dimming does not produce any sensible or acceptable light output level\u2019s change<\/li>\n
  4. Not smooth:\u00a0Uneven light output results when dimming from bright to dull and vice versa.<\/li>\n
  5. Multiple lamps:\u00a0Problems may become visible when multiple lamps are used simultaneously<\/li>\n
  6. Damage or failure: LED driver, circuit or LEDs are damaged or fail to operate.<\/li>\n
  7. Load below minimum: LED lamp\u2019s power load is below the minimum load required by the dimmer.<\/li>\n
  8. Mixed Model: Different LED lamp models will likely have different drivers – which in turn, behave differently – and dimming issues could occur when mixing them together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row] [spb_row wrap_type=”content-width” row_bg_color=”#dbd7d7″ parallax_type=”color” bg_type=”pattern” parallax_video_height=”video-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”fixed” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ row_overlay_opacity=”0″ row_padding_vertical=”30″ row_margin_vertical=”30″ remove_element_spacing=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/2″ el_position=”first”]\n

        ENERGY SAVING TECHNOLOGY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

        LED lamps have very low environmental effects because of both, their limited energy consumption and their reduced produced waste. Studies carried out to assess LED lamps echo-balance, demonstrate that the latest generation of these lamps is already echo-friendly and \u201cgreen\u201d. These studies consider the overall product lifecycle (PLC) and specifically, the amount of raw materials used and lamps\u2019 energy waste produced, throughout all its phases of life. An average 25000 hours lifespan has been used to assess results and to carry out calculations and comparisons. The undisputed outcome of these studies has demonstrated not only how nowadays LED lamps are totally equivalent to their compact fluorescent lights counterparts – when considering the echo-balance -, but also how these new modern and advanced technology lamps have much better performance than traditional lighting bulb lamps.<\/p>\n

        The aforementioned studies conducted by Siemens Corporate Technology experts (Eco Innovation Centre) validate the 98% figure of energy conversion efficiency (i.e. the 98% of supplied energy is emitted as light). This contradicts the common fear and misconception that LEDs present major energy consumption figures and significant environmental effects.<\/p>\n

        While traditional lamps\u2019 figures of electric energy consumption – for both production and functioning – are roughly of 3300kWh, their equivalent for LED lamps are approximately less than 700kWh, highlighting the higher efficiency of the latter technology.<\/p>\n

        As the efficiency of LEDs products is constantly improving though, a future positively enhanced trend is expected for their environmental-friendly performance as well.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
