Your Guide to Christmas Lights
Luminaire efficiency is a measure of the amount of light emitted by a luminaire compared to the electrical power it draws. The greater the efficiency, the more light that is emitted from a given wattage. Luminaire efficiency is usually expressed…
A luminaire is an electrical lighting device that typically includes a lamp, plus other components such as the reflector, diffuser, and mounting components. Luminaires are used to distribute and direct light from the lamp in order to create a desired…
Lumen depreciation refers to the decrease in light output, or brightness, over time. All light sources experience a gradual decrease in output as they age; this process is referred to as lumen depreciation. Lumen depreciation can be caused by factors…
Lumens measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a light source, be it electric, natural or artificial. Lumens measure the brightness of a light source and are used to compare different levels of illumination. The higher the number…
A lumen is a unit of measurement used to measure the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. It is most commonly used when referring to the brightness of an electric light, however it can also be used…
The annual Christmas Nights in Lights will be held at a new location, the Mobile International Speedway, starting from November 17, 2023 to January 1, 2024, and will feature over one million synchronized lights to holiday classics. The event will…
LPW stands for Lumens per Watt, which is a measure of the efficiency of a light source. It is used to compare the amount of light generated by a light source with the amount of power it consumes. A higher…
Low voltage lighting is a type of electrical lighting that runs on a low voltage direct current (DC) power source, usually between 10 and 35 volts. Low voltage lighting is popular in residential and commercial applications due to its high…
A Louver is a type of light fixture with slatted or curved surfaces that allow light to pass through in an adjustable, directional pattern. It can be used for task lighting, accent lighting, wall washing and other applications. Louvers are…
The light loss factor (LLF) is a measure of how much light is lost when passing through different materials. It is calculated by the amount of light entering an area and the amount leaving it. The LLF can be affected…
Light Emitting Plasma (LEP) is a type of solid-state lighting technology that uses an electric charge to generate light. It combines the efficiency of light-emitting diodes with the high brightness of fluorescent lighting, and produces bright, energy-efficient illumination that can…
Light is electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye. It has a range of different wavelengths, from ultraviolet light to infrared light. Light plays an important role in the natural world, providing us with illumination, giving us our…
