Smart Lighting for your Smart Home

By switching out light bulbs with connected, low-power LED smart bulbs you will be able to turn your lights on or off remotely, put them on a set schedule or pair them with other home automation products to turn your lighting into an organic part of your home. For example, paired with motion sensors or the fencing location capabilities of your smartphone, your lights can come on as you walk in the house, or be set to mimic the rise and set of the sun inside your home. These integrations are the perfect way to create a comfortable home environment, while also saving energy you would have wasted by leaving the lights on. Just be sure to store the old light bulbs somewhere safe so you can put them back when you leave.

Crompton led bulbs work well in smaller apartments because you generally don’t need too many, and if you live alone, you won’t have the issue of people constantly turning the analog switch off . For lamps and other plug-in appliances you’d like to control remotely, consider a smart plug from WeMo or iHome. These go into your existing outlets and allow you to activate anything you plug into them—from lamps and TVs to coffee makers and toaster ovens.

Why Retailers prefer LED Downlights over Uplights

LED downlights and uplights have their own particular benefits, and savvy retailers select the most appropriate type for various aspects of the overall lighting design such as drawing attention to featured products or creating special effects. Crompton LED Downlights can be used in all lighting functions—general, task and accent—whereas uplights have fewer applications.


Light emitting diode (LED) lighting offers its own particular benefits and should be an integral part of any updating, refurbishing or redesigning of your retail outlet and selected for both up and down lights.






Downlights and Uplights Can be Incorporated into Lighting Designs


Retail lighting needs to be layered:

1. Ambient lighting is the general, vertical downlighting used throughout the store, and should supply uniform light. 
2. Task lighting can use downlights to illuminate small work areas such as cashier locations and fitting rooms, and should be strong enough to be effective without spilling into other areas or causing unnecessary glare. 
3. Accent lighting can be produced by downlights and uplights and add drama, draw attention to, and highlight, featured products, and used in perimeter, display, showcase and window display lighting. 

Downlights and uplights and the use of spotlights and colored lights can be effective for highlighting displays, creating a mood, enabling the examination of products and enhancing the shopping experience for customers with crompton led bulbs.
How to Make the Best Use of Downlights


The advantages of downlights are: 

• They can be used in all areas of your lighting design including ambient lighting which benefits by having shadows minimized. 
• Focused downlights are particularly favored for accent lighting to draw attention to specific items or displays. 
• The path of the light as well as the spill can be controlled in downlights and glare reduced. 
• Downlights as accent lights make dramatic use of the contrast between the merchandise and its surroundings. 
• They can be recessed, drop, clear glass, frosted glass, wall lamps or ceiling lamps. 

The disadvantages are:

• They are not a good choice for makeup counters and fitting rooms unless side lights are added. 
• They may be appropriate for all types of store lighting but must be carefully chosen and suitable for ambient, task, or accent lighting, all of which have different requirements. 

How to Make the Best Use of Uplights


The advantages of uplights are:

• They are a good choice for accent and perimeter lighting. 
• They are favored for creating dramatic, special effects. 
• Eerie shadows are created when lighting originates from below. 
• They are effective for mood lighting with colored uplights adding drama. 
• They eliminate glare. 

The disadvantages are:

• They don’t have the wide application that downlights have. 
• They are not as effective if the ceiling is dark. 
• They are not a good choice if they expose blemishes on walls or ceilings. 
• They are not as suitable for use if ceilings are low.

LED Downlights - Things to be considered while purchasing

How to choose the right LED downlight

With a range of led light fixtures in kochi , it can be confusing to determine which light is right. See our easy guide below for help!



Wattage

Energy saving lighting is about reducing the wattage used in a light fitting while maintaining similar light output. For example, a standard halogen downlight uses 55 watts, but you can purchase LED alternatives ranging from 4.5 watts to 14 watts.



Lumens

Lumen is the standard unit for measuring the amount of light produced by a light source.  It is equal to the amount of light hitting one square foot of surface one foot away from the light. Essentially, the higher the lumens, the brighter the light.



Lumens per watt

This truly shows the efficiency of the LED product. For example a 200lm product consuming 3 watts of electricity = 66 lumens per watt. Lumens per watt vary from product to product depending on the LED chip used, how hard the product is being run, and the construction of the fitting and how effective the heat sink is at removing the heat.  



Beam angle

The beam angle is something you need to pay attention to when choosing the right LED lighting for the space. This is as important as the Lumens. Beam angle indicates the spread of light from the light source. A narrow beam gives a concentrated light which is better for accent lighting. A wide beam gives a more general, softer light.      



Warm white and cool white

The colour temperature of a product is a linear scale of measuring the colour of light. Measured in degrees, Kelvin, warm light is measured in lower numbers and cool white in higher numbers. It is down to personal preference whether you choose warm white or cool white.

Cool white is ideal for task-orientated areas like kitchens and laundries and areas that have a warmer climate as the lighting will help to make the rooms feel cooler. Warm white helps to create a more intimate atmosphere suited to bedrooms and living rooms and these colour temperatures create a more relaxing and comfortable environment. A tip is to stick to just one colour throughout an open plan living area, otherwise the mixing of colours will be distracting to the eye.


Square Deal Lighting is one among the authorized crompton distributors in kochi which offers a wide range of products in its led showroom in Kochi. This crompton showroom in kochi has a wide range of crompton led bulbs and crompton led panels. 

Be Safe with Outdoor Lighting

As with any electrical device or apparatus, safety precautions should be consistently practiced. While you can easily bring an indoor look to an outdoor space, you definitely want to make sure that the fixture is rated specifically for outdoor use. Use extra caution when children are around and when using light fixtures near water, e.g., fountains, garden waterfalls or pools. Also, while the materials used in manufacturing these state-of-the-art, prized pieces are made to withstand weather of varying conditions–as well as designed for many years of aesthetic adoration and delightful illumination–you should still take necessary precautions when dealing with steadily wet weather or other inclement circumstances.

In other words, as long as they’re used smartly and safely, there are many fashion-forward outdoor lighting designs that can make your outdoor spaces just as stylish and bright as any indoor room. In fact, they can make your yard the best room in the house.

COST

In the past, lighting a large workspace meant having a budget to match. Today, that is no longer the case thanks to low-energy, long lasting Crompton LED lights. Despite costing more initially for the actual units, LEDs are far more cost effective in the long term.

It all stems from how efficiently they use their energy.If you were to use a traditional halogen bulb, it would lose up to 80% of its energy to heat alone. This leaves just 20% to provide light.Compared to this, LEDs only lose around 10% of its energy to heat wastage. This means that they ultimately use around 90% less energy than a halogen equivalent – saving massively on electricity bills.A knock on effect of this is that LEDs also operate at much cooler temperatures, so they’re safer to use too.

With less heat passing through the internals of the light itself, there is much less wear and tear. This means that your LED lights last much longer than the competition – with most LEDs typically lasting up to 50,000 hours.This is 2 times longer than your average fluorescent light, and an astounding 20 times longer than halogen bulbs.Maintenance costs are significantly reduced because of this.An LED field trial that was carried out by the Energy Saving Trust (EST) at the turn of the decade highlights the amount of money that can be saved when LEDs are used on a large scale.

QUALITY

It isn’t just the cheaper cost of LED lighting that makes it an attractive option in the workplace – LED lights in Kerala also offer a better quality of light too. Studies have shown that better quality lighting in the workplace can actually increase the productivity of your employees.

Again, let’s make a comparison. Conventional fluorescent tubes flicker and hum when they are on. As well as being a distraction, this can cause health problems such as eye strain and migraines.
LEDs however run on direct current, they don’t flicker and are completely silent. This makes them far more pleasant to be around and will create a more comfortable working environment.

More modern LEDs also have much higher colour rendering indexes (CRI) compared to when the technology first arrived on the market, with most LEDs typically having a CRI of at least 70.

As a result, colours are more accurately illuminated under LEDs. The same objects would appear washed out and dull under fluorescent tubes.
