![]() ![]() While a 2700K bulb will cast a cozy, orange glow and a 6000K bulb will emit a crisp, blue light, the brightness will nearly be the same. Good question! Lighting color, or light temperature, is measured in Kelvin (K). The average LED light temperatures range from 2700K (warmest) to 6000K (coolest). How does color temperature affect brightness? So as a rule of thumb, high output LEDs have an efficacy of 100lm/w or more while some commercial LED lights, such as LED Tubes, can feature efficacies of over 130lm/w. As an example, a LED Flood Light with 10,000lm and 100W has an efficacy of 100lm/w. This can easily be calculated by dividing the lumens/watt. Efficacy is essentially, how you could measure the “bang for your buck” when it comes to the brightness you are looking to achieve. For a mental image, a standard 16W A21 LED Bulb is an ideal replacement to an 100W incandescent bulb, and will be as bright, If not brighter!Īnother common measurement you might notice on specification sheets for LED lights is efficacy! And no, this is not the same as efficiency, which refers to the amount of energy used. ![]() Also, when you provide power to an LED light, more energy is converted to light rather than heat which is why you will often see wattage equivalency listed on the specifications for LED lights. Created by design, the LED light has a minimal heat output, which would place them as less hazardous and allow construction of the bulbs to include shatterproof materials. Without a good knowledge of lumens, it could be safe to assume that an LED having fewer watts would be less bright than a traditional bulb that has higher wattages however, that is most certainly not the case! As previously mentioned above, a LED light requires way less energy to operate and produce the same, if not more light than a traditional bulb. Why are LEDs brighter with less wattage you ask? To put this into perspective, a standard household LED Bulb has an average lumen 800lm, while a large commercial fixture, such LED Shoe Boxes or Stadium Lights, can reach 160,000lm per fixture! What are lumens? Glad you asked! Lumens (lm) are a measurement of light output! This would mean that the higher the lumens, the higher the brightness of LED lights is going to appear. Although we all know LED lights are a brighter replacement for fluorescent, incandescent, and halogen bulbs, and they require far fewer watts to produce that brighter light, we measure the brightness of LED lights in lumens. Dimensions : L 36.6 cm - H 48.5 cm - Diffuser: Ø 18.6 cm - Base: Ø 19.In traditional lighting knowledge, wattage is the standard measure of brightness for most, with higher wattage portraying a brighter bulb.Material : Aluminium - Diffuser: methacrylate.The pure and balanced line of Vine achieve maximal freedom of movement thanks to its joints, perfectly lighting a work surface and creating multiple lighting scenario possibilities.A touch-activated dimmer is featured on the head for easy and intuitive adjustment of the light, leaving you to create your own lighting with a simple movement. Vine's structure is interrupted by two joints (at the head and at the base) designed to enable users to move and adjust the light in a natural, manual movement. The symmetry of the two incomplete rings located at the two ends (one acting as diffuser and the other as a base) creates a perfectly balanced silhouette."What seems to be a continuity is actually a succession of functional components and different characteristics, which transform technological complexity into simplicity and freedom", explains Artemide. Measuring just 16 mm in diameter, the jointed black tube houses all of the optical-electronic and mechanical elements. In a single take, the uninterrupted line created by Vine successively plays the role of base, stem, then diffuser. The linear and minimalist design of the Vine lamp hides technological innovation and expertise. ![]()
