LEDs offer a wide range of lighting options that are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than conventional lighting. they have a long lifespan and are resistant to heat, vibration and shock, and are also dimmable.
They are also more affordable than conventional lighting sources and consume much less energy.
There are countless ways to describe an LED light, but for this purpose we will need something simple. A square meter is a unit of measurement used for describing the area of a surface.
To calculate how many LED lights (leds) you can install in a particular space, you simply divide the surface area by the number of LED lights per square meter.
If you are installing lights in a large warehouse, you would want to take into account the ceiling height, the floor area and the spacing between the LED lights. For many businesses, the numbers are a lot more important than you would think.
LED lights are a pretty hot topic right now, and we are seeing more and more manufacturers come out with new technology that allow for even more led lights per square meter.
At the moment, the most common technology is CREE XM-L LEDs, which allows for up to 10 led lights per square meter, yet still produce the same amount of light as the older technology XM-L, which led to the LEDs being a much hotter topic.
Recommended wattage assuming 1.0 sq/m
The difference between a 1.0 square meter LED light (1m2= 1.0 sq/m) and a 10 sq/m LED light (10m2= 10sq/m) is significant. A 1.0m2 LED light is a much larger light bulb than a 10m2 LED light.
If you want the light to be equivalent to a 10m2 light, you need to supply the same amount of energy, but you’ll have to double the number of LED lights. Fortunately, it is possible to do this without significantly increasing the cost.
Factors affecting the amount of light
LEDs are now increasingly becoming the leading source of illumination. Their minimal power requirements, high efficacy and low maintenance costs, along with their long life make them an attractive choice for outdoor lighting applications.
The main factors affecting the amount of light emitted by an LED lamp are the (LED) color, the forward voltage and the current rating.
Three basic types of lighting
- Ambient lighting
Some of you may already be familiar with RGBW LEDs, but the name or not, the technology has been around for many years. The RGBW LEDs in the Ambient Lighting Ring use the white LED at the bottom (red, blue, green) to create white light, with the other LEDs changing the color temperature based on their current state of operation.
By changing the white LED’s color, the system can create any color of ambient light from a cold blue glow to vibrant warm white light. If you don’t want to use a color filter, you can use the RGBW LEDs in their standard RGB state to create a color temperature of any desired temperature from 4000K-6500K.
- Task lighting
Light is one of those things that doesn’t get enough attention. Despite the fact that we use it every day, it’s often too difficult to see, and why wouldn’t we? the concept of light is too abstract, and has too many variables for us to understand.
When it comes to lighting the workplace, task lighting solutions are a popular choice for manufacturers, office workers, and consumers alike. This is because task lighting is often the first thing people notice when they walk into a room.
Seeing a well-lit work space can be an effective method for making workers more productive; on the other hand, it can also help to improve the overall aesthetic of the workspace.
- Accent lighting
Lighting is one of those things that can make a room look and feel more like home or a destination, or it can make a room look like a total disaster.
Accent lighting for the home is a relatively new trend, which has seen many companies trying to get a slice of the pie in this increasingly popular area. Those that have been successful will have been those that have strived to offer the most options and flexibility in terms of choice.
What is a LED down lighting?
LED down lighting is a small, inconspicuous device that allows you to dim the lights in your home without having to use a switch or expensive dimmer. They’re available in a variety of shapes and colors, and they can be installed anywhere around the house.
How many LED downlights do you need?
LED supply is a growing market, but not every seller has the same vision, resulting in overpriced products and significant wastage in the LED industry.
Many LED lighting suppliers are only interested in selling their LED downlights to LED manufacturers and distributors, so they don’t have to care about the quality of the LEDs or the overall life of your LED downlights.
The good news is there are many reliable LED suppliers out there, and it’s important to speak with them to ensure you get the right LED downlights at the right price.
Downlights are the most common type of lighting in European and American homes. They are also one of the hottest selling lighting products, with sales increasing by as much as 12% a year.
In order to keep up with this demand, manufacturers have been experimenting with downlight technology for many years, and some of the newest models are available with up to 3,000 lumens of light output!
Bedroom downlighting
The bedroom should be a relaxing place in your home, but when you’re in bed, you can’t see a thing. This is where downlighting comes into play.
Downlights make the most of the available light, giving you a clear view of the bedside table, books on the bedside shelf, or the wall, where you can see the time and your alarm in the morning.
The brightness of any room is also affected by the room’s layout – if you have a floor lamp in the bedroom, it will be brighter than a bedside one.
Living room lighting
The living room is a central part of our homes. It’s the place where we spend the most time, and it usually contains the biggest amount of furniture and other items.
Brightness and comfort are important qualities to ensure a good atmosphere in the room, but sometimes it’s also important to make the lighting as neutral as possible.
Kitchen Downlighting
A down light is a handy accessory for any kitchen. They can be used to accent the cooking area, create a mood for a party, or to save on your energy bill.
