How do Choose Office Circular Recessed Lights?
We sometimes encounter these problems in life: The traditional fluorescent tubes at offices are easy to broken and we have to buy new lamps to replace them. So how to choose a high quality and durable office lighting? We need to learn some relevant knowledge about the office lighting.
Here are some buying tips for office lighting
1. Color temperature:
Color temperature is a unit of measurement that represents the color components contained in light.It is measured in degrees of Kelvin,using the symbol K, on a scale from 1000 to 10000. Warmer with lower color temperature.Kelvin temperatures for office lighting and commerial lighting applications on a scale from 3000K to 5000K. The color temperature of the light source is different, the color of the light is also different, and the feelings it brings are also different.
Color temperature classification
Warm white: 2700-3000 K (Yellowish)
Natural white:4000K (refreshing)
Cool white: Over 5000K (Bluish)
Color temperature classification in different areas
Office and Living room: 4000 K
Dining room: 3500 K
Bedroom: 3000 K
Study room: 4000 K
2. Light Intensity
Light intensity refers to the luminous flux of visible light received per unit area. Abbreviated as illuminance, unit lux (Lux or lx). Light intensity is measured in lumens per square meter or Lux.
Office Interiors Lighting : 500 Lx
Conference and meeting rooms: 300 Lx
Medical rooms: 500Lx
Rooms for keep-fit exercises: 300 Lx
Light intensity is an important parameter of the light source. Light intensity above 500LX, it can reach the national AA level lighting.
3.Color Rendering Index
Color rendering index (Ra) is usually used to express the color rendering of the light source. The higher the color rendering index of the light source, the better the color rendering performance. Our circular lights color rendering index can make Ra higher than 80,90 or 95 depend on your requirements.
Color rendering index of different light sources
Light Source | Color Rendering Index (Ra) |
Sodium lamp/ Mercury lamp | <60 |
Low color temperature fluorescent lamp | 60-69 |
Fluorescent lamp/ Metal halide lamp | 70-79 |
80 Fluorescent lamp/Energy saving lamp | 80-89 |
90 Fluorescent lamp/Incandescent lamp | 90-100 |
LED Lamp | 80-99 |
4. Luminous Efficiency
The ratio of the luminous flux emitted by a light source to the power consumed is called luminous efficiency, and its unit is lumens per watt.
Luminous efficiency of different light sources
Light Source | Lm/W) | Efficacy |
Incandescent lamp | 10-15 | 10% |
Fluorescent lamp | 60-90 | 25%-30% |
Metal Halide lamp | 30-140 | 30%-35% |
LED Lamp | 100-200 | 85%-95% |
