Notes
1.

For comparison purposes, household incandescent globes have an output of approximately 12 lumens per watt.

2.

All lamp types are 230v, with the exception of the 2Kw MH, which is 380v

3.

The efficiencies quoted are those achieved with our range of lamps lamps. The outputs of other lamps may differ.

Lighting Terms and Facts

Luminous Flux unit: lumen(lm)
Luminous flux of luminous power is the measure of perceived power of light. It differs from radiant flux, the measure of the total
power of light emitted, in that luminous flux is adjusted to reflect the varying sensitivity of the human eye to different wavelengths
of light.
Illuminance unit: lux(lx)
Illuminance is the total luminous flux incident on a surface, per unit area. It is a measure of the intensity of the incident light,
wavelength weighted by the luminosity function to correlate with human brightness perception. Similarly, luminous emittance is the
luminous flux per unit area emitted from a surface. Luminous emittance is also known as luminous exitance.
Luminous efficacy unit: Im/W
Luminous efficacy is a property of light sources, which indicates what portion of the emitted electromagnetic radiation is usable for
human vision. It is the ratio of emited luminous flux to radiant flux. Luminous efficacy is related to the overall efficiency of a light
source for illumination, but the overall lighting efficiency also depends on how much of the input energy is converted into
electromagnetic waves (whether visible or not).
Luminous intensity unit: cd
Luminous intensity is a measure of the wavelength-weighted power emitted by a light source in a particular direction per unit solid
angle, based on the luminosity function, a standardized model of the sensitivity of the human eye.

Colour temperature unit: K

Color temperature is a characteristic of visible light that has important applications in lighting, photography, videography, publishing
and other fields. The colour temperature of the light source is a determined by comparing its chromaticity with that of an ideal
black-body radiator. The temperature (usually measured in Kelvin (K)) at which the heated black-body radiator matches the color of
the light source is that source's colour temperature, for a lback body source, it is directly related to Planck's law and Wien's
displacement law. Counter intuitively, higher Kelvin temperatures (5000K or more) are "cool" (green-blue) colours and lower
temperatures (2700-3000K) "warm" (yellow-red) colours. Cool-coloured light is considered better for visual tasks. Warm-coloured
light is preferred for living spaces because it is considered more flattering to skin tones and clothing. Colour temperature in the
2700-3600K range are recommended for most general indoor and task lighting.

Brightness vs Height

IP Ratings
IP (International Projection) followed by two numbers, e.g. IP65.
The first digit in the rating is the projection against contact and foreign bodies.
The second digit in the rating is the water protection factor.
