This describes the connection power (P) in watts (W), which the luminaire absorbs after thermal stabilisation including all its integrated components.
The term colour temperature is used for the light colour of white light. It is expressed in Kelvin (K). Values up to 3250K are referred to as warm white, values up to 5250K as neutral white and values up to 8000K as daylight white.
Since LEDs usually do not fail, but lose their luminous flux over time, the life span is described by the percentage (B) of the luminaire which has not decreased beneath the percentage of the threshold value of the luminous flux (L) after a certain life span (h).
For example 50.000h L80 describes that after 50,000h operation, a luminous flux preservation (L80) of above 80% is to be expected.
The term optic refers to the relevant light direction, e.g. a certain emission angle, of a luminaire.
Luminaire control designates the preparation of a luminaire for the respective type of control.
ON-OFF – The luminaires are set to be switchable. Dimming is not possible in this version.
1-10V DIMMABLE – The luminaires can be dimmed by means of an analogue control signal from 1-10 Volt.
DALI dim – DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface) is a cross-manufacturer interface standard. This enables digital control and dimming of luminaires.
Protection classes serve for categorisation and marking of luminaires with regard to existing safety measures to prevent an electrical shock.
Protection class I: Protection by protective conductor
Protection class II: Protection by double or reinforced insulation
Colour consistency describes the maximum deviation of individual LED modules against the target light colour. The measuring unit of colour consistency is SDCM (Standard Deviation of Colour Matching). Careful selection of certain binning groups ensures the most uniform colour tone of the luminaires possible. SDCM3, i.e. 3 MacAdams ellipses are regarded to very high-quality in practice.
At sports facilities and gym halls, luminaires have to endure ball bangs. A ball-safe luminaire must endure repeated handball bangs of 60km/h.
This is the voltage that must be connected to the luminaire for operation.
The colour rendering index is a quality feature of light and designates the colour rendering of objects under different light sources. The maximum value is 100Ra and designates the colour rendering under daylight.
The ambient temperature defines the maximum temperature (°C) at which a luminaire may be operated.
Meaningful is the specification of the luminaire luminous flux (not LED luminous flux) which describes the actual usable light of the luminaire. The luminous flux is given in lumens (Lm) and describes all the light emitted by a light source.
Protection type (IP) is indicated by a two-digit code. It describes the protection against penetration of solids, dust and moisture and thus the suitability of luminaires for different environmental conditions.
Describes the risk group with regard to photo-biological safety. UEBEX luminaires fulfil the safety requirements of the user under correct application.
The IK degree of impact strength (1-10) is a measure for the resistance of housings of electrical equipment against mechanical stress, in particular impact stress.
IK-Code 08 = Beat 5 Joule (1,7kg from 29,5cm)
IK-Code 10 = Beat 20 Joule (5kg from 40cm)
