LED lighting for museums

LED lighting or halogen lamps How does LED lighting work The term LED refers to "light emitting diode". The diode is an electrical component with two electrodes that allows electricity to move freely in one direction. Thanks to the constant movement of electrons inside the semiconductor, light is generated. What are the advantages of LED lighting 1) Lower energy consumption: it is not necessary to wait for the filament to heat up. The biggest advantage of LED bulbs is their energy efficiency. Energy waste is not generated and you can save up to 80% 2) Longer life: the average life of the LED bulb is approximately 35 thousand to 50 thousand hours. Incandescent lamps, on the other hand, only reach a thousand hours! Due to the longer life of LED products, replacement and energy costs are significantly reduced. Thus, generally, the depreciation costs never exceed one year 3) Eco-sustainability: unlike traditional light bulbs, LED bulbs do not contain toxic chemicals. Fo...

What is the lumen Lighting is a matter of lumens. Today when we need to buy a lamp, the wattage is not indicated on the packaging, but the lumen. But what is lumen exactly? In this blog, you will find out what the lumen is, how it is translated into watts and how many lumens are recommended for each environment. What is the lumen and what is the difference with the watt The definition of the lumen is "a unit of measurement of the luminous flux visible in a specific beam of light or emitted by a source". Or in short: lumens equal brightness. The watt, on the other hand, measures energy consumption and not luminous intensity. How does the watt translate into lumens Lumens allow you to choose the amount of light you want. So, when buying a new light bulb, it is necessary to consider not only the energy consumption expressed in watts but also the luminous intensity (lumens). How many lumens do I need for my room There is no precise answer to the number of lumens you ne...

Difference between an expensive and economical LED panel 7 reasons why a low-priced LED panel is a waste of money 1) The least expensive LED panels and related components such as drivers and microchips are made       from materials of a lower quality range 2) The indicated life cycle is not really achieved 3) Light intensity decreases dramatically with time 4) Lighting equipment consumes more energy than expected 5) The color of the light may vary from panel to panel 6) The appliance may not comply with EU safety regulations. In the event of a fire, no insurance is           provided and a fine may be incurred 7) Flashes of light can be harmful to health When switching to LEDs it is necessary to make sure that you are sufficiently informed so as to opt for the solution that best suits our needs, both in the short and in the long term. Where can I buy top quality LED panels We at Lampadadiretta sell only high quality LED pa...

LED lighting for museums In recent years LED lighting has made great progress in terms of light quality and color rendering, finding application even in museums. In particular, for correct conservation and at the same time presentation of works of art it is necessary to opt for adequate lighting, in addition to precise control of humidity and temperature. Generally, the museum lighting needs are General lighting:  to adequately illuminate the exhibition rooms Accent lighting:  to focus light on concrete points and highlight works of art Which LED lighting to choose in museums? Lighting for shop windows Some works of art can only be displayed inside protective windows that can have integrated lighting, or without their own lighting. In the latter case, ceiling lighting is recommended, so as to avoid annoying reflections. Furthermore, for greater efficiency, it is advisable to use glass cabinets made of anti-reflective glass, in addition to installations with...
