The lamp sector has also developed in recent years. Today we have lighting systems that are bolder, and at the same time more efficient. When we go to buy a lamp, there is a lot of information that it provides. Do you know what lumens and lux are?
Today we have all the necessary information on the lamp label. But the problem is knowing what they mean. Today we will talk about luminous flux. Naturally, consumers are accustomed to "looking". Watt of lamps (i.e. their power).
However, what is really important at this level is knowledge The amount of lumens emitted.
Lux (lx) It is the flux of light projected from a specific source onto a surface located at a certain distance from it. Lux is a unit of measurement for illumination in the International System. Lumen(m) It is the unit that allows us to measure the amount of light (brightness or luminous flux) emitted by a source, without taking into account factors such as the area to be illuminated or the opening angle of the light beam. This makes it possible, for example, to compare LED lamps with halogen lamps to see which ones will shine brighter.
The following table allows you to get a "correspondence" between lumens and whats.
As mentioned hereThere are spaces with minimum lighting requirements (between 50 and 200 lux) such as corridors, halls and corridors in general. Other more demanding areas (from 300 to 1000 lacs) include business areas, schools, stores, etc. Finally, there are rooms with special requirements (more than 1000 lacs), such as operating rooms, watch shops, etc.
Adequate and appropriate lighting improves comfort and reduces visual fatigue
