General information
➜ Tubular fluorescent lamps HThere are range models that differ according to
design and size. Unwanted UV
emissions, which speed the colour fading process,
for example, can avoided using appropriate fil-
ters.
In the future, WOFI LEUCHTEN will use LEDs produce
lamps that are completely new terms design, lighting
effect, control and other properties. The colour rendering LED light
can combined through several areas the spectrum to
meet class values. LED (Light Emitting Diodes) Z
LEDs (Light diodes) are semi-conductor diodes that work
on the principle electroluminescence. They are costly produce but can reach output
of 500 depending the type and lifespan to

Fluorescent lamps employ ballast devices with lamps

can only operated using and electronic ballast device. They
produce very little heat.Halogen bulbs MThe addition halogens prevents the filament from
evaporating and blackening the bulb wall. The humming and flickering, unna-
tural colours and uncomfortable sensation associated with
earlier fluorescent lamps have now been eliminated thanks
to modern technology and the right choice fluorescent ma-
terial. They are electrodes each end

This has number advantages. The maximum output 100W, and the average

also varies depending the bulb type and needs be
considered when changing the bulb.
LEDs are based semi-conductor connections that con-
vert electricity directly into light.
Fluorescent lamps are characterised minimal power con-
sumption alongside high light output and log lifespan.
Fluorescent lamps can also found circular form
