How to choose track lighting?


What is track light?


According to some relatively complex and rigid lighting environments or engineering projects for commercial lighting (such as clothing store, showroom, Stage 4 3500k led track light 30w white color project 300x150 - How to choose track lighting decoration shop, jeweler supermarket, etc.), more and more users require better track light to replace the traditional track lighting in order to obtain a better lighting effect.

When a ceiling cannot accommodate recessed lighting, due to the beams, for example, track lighting allows the luminaires to be positioned near the ceiling, maintaining visual transparency.

Consider your lighting needs

Before selecting a track system and the accompanying elements, it is important to consider the specific lighting tasks to be addressed. General ambient lighting, accent or wall wash lighting and work lighting all have different purposes and each requires different positioning and positioning.

Ambient and general lighting: Track lighting serves this purpose well in entrances or in pavilions, but is generally not suitable as a single light source for a room. Instead, it is ideal as complementary lighting along with other devices in a room. The larger rooms can accommodate larger track layouts and can be selected pendants or spotlights that complement the existing furniture.300x150 location light - How to choose the track lighting

Accent lighting and wall wash: These types of lighting configurations are recommended for viewing images, crates of books and decorative pieces placed on a wall.

·        Wall washing is ideal for a non-focused and all-encompassing light diffusion and can reduce the number of track heads required. The wall wash heads often have high energy efficient fluorescent bulbs as an added benefit. Make sure a wall-mounted washing device is positioned sufficiently away from the wall to avoid unwanted shadows on the wall.
·        For more concentrated accent lighting, use adjustable spotlight heads. These devices can provide a higher level of light over a specific area. Angle the track heads to approximately 30 ° to minimize glare and reflections.

Activity lighting: This is a specific lighting configuration that illuminates small areas where light is needed for various activities. It is ideal for reading, food preparation, and work areas. Low voltage spotlighting is an excellent option for work lighting, as it is highly energy efficient and well suited to lighting countercurrent spaces and kitchen islands.


Choose your type of track


Tip 1: heat sink device

The heat dissipation determines the life of the LED track lights. If the heat sink device is NOT effective, the LED chip will depreciate and will fail very quickly in high-temperature working conditions. Pure aluminum is a better material than die-casting for the heat sink, but with a limitation in the formation of the desired shape of the lamp.

Tip 2: Driver

90% of the track lights failure is due to the quality of the driver. The solution with appropriate electronic components determines the efficiency, effectiveness, stability, temperature balance and 30w Cree led track light for barber 01 300x226 - How to choose track lighting safe lamp life. Reliable brands are recommended to ensure stable current and voltage, thus ensuring the life of the device.

Tip 3: quality and adaptability of the LEDs

The LED chips directly determine the effect of the light, while the technology and the packaging technique of the LEDs greatly influence the quality of the LED chips, the differentiation of colors, and the dissipation of heat ... etc.

What is the UGR?

Image
Unified Glare Rating The acronym UGR is commonly used to refer to Unified Glare Rating, that is the degree of luminous harassing glare. This index is subject to European and national regulations that establish the limits allowed in working environments. Specifically, in Italy the UNI 11165: 2005 standard applies, which indicates the criteria for calculating the unified glare index deriving from artificial light sources. Why is the UGR important? Lighting is often underestimated not only by individual consumers but also by companies. However, it is important to ensure that it is adequate for the work environment so that work activities can be carried out in complete safety. In fact, lighting not only guarantees a higher level of safety but also affects the well-being of workers and stimulates productivity. For this reason, it is advisable to plan carefully the lighting. How is the UGR measured? The UGR takes into consideration several factors such as the quality of the lig...

How to choose the right beam angle for LED downlights?

Image
What is the opening angle? The beam angle is something you need to pay attention to when choosing the right LED lighting for space. This is as important as the color temperature. The angle of the beam indicates the diffusion of light from the light source. A narrow beam gives a concentrated light that is better for accent lighting. A wide beam gives a more general and softer light. Most LED lights are available in a choice of beam angles. From a very narrow 15 spots to a wider 60-degree spot. A narrow beam angle makes the light more concentrated and intense. A wider beam angle will distribute the light better to more areas of the room. Knowing how to correctly use beam angles can greatly improve the lighting effect in a room. How to choose the beam angle for LED downlights? The light must be directed towards a specific object or person, not an area, it is necessary to choose a narrow beam angle; When lighting a large room etc., it is necessary to choose th...

Do LED bulbs heat up?

Image
Incandescent lamps undoubtedly heat up Incandescent bulbs are known for their high heat output when used. This disadvantage makes it difficult to replace faulty bulbs, as you have to wait a few hours for them to cool down and handle them safely. Specifically, the dispersion of heat is due to the internal tungsten filament which, when crossed by electric current, generates not only light but also heat. Precisely for this reason, these light sources are considered energetically inefficient. Only 10% of electricity is converted into light. The remaining energy is dissipated through heat, leading to: ·         A reduction in the life cycle (average duration fluctuates between 800 and 1200 hours) ·         Loss of electrical resistance of the internal filament ·         High energy consumption and frequent replacement of the light source The LEDs heat up but not in the same ...
