The popularity of LED lamps in the Netherlands and Belgium continues to rise

The popularity of LED lamps in the Netherlands and Belgium continues to rise These winter months in the Netherlands are not only dominated by the holidays, cold and dark, but it is also the period in which lamps, and in particular LED lighting, are purchased en masse. Since the LED lamp came on the rise in the Netherlands in 2007, this trend has continued unabated. GERMANY SET THE TREND The Germans started the online search for LED lamps in 2005, the Netherlands started two years later and Belgium only joined in 2009. Belgian consumers are still looking for LED lamps considerably more online: every year there is a greater peak in search volume during the winter months. Also in the Netherlands, fluorescent tubes and luminaires, halogen lighting is still being replaced at a surprisingly fast pace by energy-efficient LED lamps: online search behavior has been showing for eight years that the demand for LED lamps in the Netherlands continues to rise. For the time being, it appears tha...

DimFlame lamp

DimFlame lamp The light color of an LED lamp is no longer the "blue" light that used to be seen in the past. Yet we sometimes hear that the light color may be a little warmer when the lamp is dimmed. We hear this especially when a dimmable halogen lamp is replaced. When you dim a halogen lamp, it turns to a warmer color. An LED lamp does not normally do this, only the light output decreases when dimming. For this reason, LedLampenDirect has added a nice new product from YPHIX to the assortment. This is the GU10 Naos DimFlame lamp. Characteristic of this lamp is that it changes color when dimmed. At full strength, it gives light in a nice extra warm white color (2700K). This is comparable to a 50-watt halogen lamp. If you dim the lamp, it will gradually change to a warmer shade. To end up in the lowest position with an extra atmospheric color of 2200 Kelvin. The Naos DimFlame lamp is, therefore, an ideal replacement for those who want good light, but it is also nice to be...

LED, what exactly is that

LED, what exactly is that LED lights come in many shapes and sizes nowadays. The development of LED is not standing still, which means that there are already good LED replacements for the most common fittings. The twist fittings (E27 and E14), bayonet fittings (GU10) and plug fittings (GU5.3, G4, and GU4) are widely used. LED lamps are also available for TL (T8), G9, R7s, and GX53. Enough applications, but what exactly is LED? WHAT IS LED LED stands for Light-Emitting Diode. A diode is an electronic component that conducts current. A LED is, therefore, a light-emitting diode. An LED always has a negative and positive side. The positive side has extra positively charged particles, the negative side has extra negative electrons. When current starts flowing through the diode, the electrons come into contact with each other. When a negative electron comes into contact with a positive electron, energy is released in the form of photons. Light consists of photons so the LED will give li...

What is CRI

What is CRI With LED lamps you often also see the color rendering or CRI / RA mentioned. For many an unknown value, but certainly not unimportant. We are happy to explain what CRI is. In a store, it often happens that people with clothing or accessories walk outside to see the color well. This is a good example of what CRI means. The light outside has a CRI of 100, this is the highest attainable. In this case, lamps with a low CRI value are hanging in the store, as a result of which the colors do not appear as they actually are. COLOR RENDERING INDEX CRI stands for Color Rendering Index. This index shows the extent to which you see the actual colors of objects in the light of a lamp. The CRI is expressed in a number between 0 and 100 Ra. Daylight (outside light) gives the colors the best weather, this is also light with a CRI of 100 Ra. The higher the CRI of a lamp, the better and more faithfully you see the colors. With older energy-saving lamps you will also come across a CRI ...

LED panels, a good choice

LED panels, a good choice In office spaces and schools you quickly think of fluorescent lighting. Yet there are more options than this traditional lamp. Because TL is practical, but also very visible in the interior. LED panels are a nice alternative. These are not only functional, but they also have a beautiful finish and are ultra flat so that they can be concealed in the ceiling. LED PANELS LED panels are very suitable for a working and living environment. They have a high light output and improve the mood and energy level in the room. How is this possible? An outdated lamp in an office or classroom flickers, sometimes this is not even visible to the human eye. This can lead to fatigue and even a headache! This is not the case with  LED panels . This way you benefit from good light and your concentration get a boost. LED Lamp offers a choice of different types of panels. Square (60x60 cm) and rectangular (120x30 cm).
