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.
