What is an E27 bulb? The E27 lamp is one of the most common bulbs found in our homes. She is also known as Thomas Edison's light bulb. E27 refers to the cap or socket. The attachment to screw to your lighting fixture. This base is thus found in all the bulbs, only the shape of the luminaire or the bulb varies. What does an E27 bulb look like? If you imagine the shape of an incandescent bulb, you are on the right track. We can also find the shapes: pear, ball, globe, stick, candle, tubular, PAR, etc. They can be used in all rooms of the house, in hotels and restaurants. Thanks to LED technology, today we have a wide selection of retro LED bulbs or others with an E27 base.  Environmentally friendly – The E27 bulb is available in incandescent, halogen, or LED. Incandescent lamps are no longer produced, since with them only 5% of the energy used is converted into light. The average life is around 1000 hours (<1 year) and they contain toxic chemicals like mercury. L...

Why halogen bulbs will disappear? The suppression of halogen bulbs is a European decision, within the framework of the regulations in term of eco-design whose goal is to regulate the number of inefficient sources of lighting on the market. The purpose of the ban is to encourage consumers and businesses to buy LED bulbs to reduce the environmental impact and carbon footprint in Europe. It is estimated that this new measure will reduce carbon emissions by 15 million tons per year. Going to the LED allows me to reduce energy costs? Yes, LED bulbs are more expensive than halogen bulbs when purchased, but their efficiency is much higher. LED bulbs consume up to 90% less electricity compared to halogen bulbs. On the other hand, halogen bulbs emit heat. These emissions have a negative effect in schools and offices, they warm indoor spaces. LEDs emit no heat and are therefore preferable to halogens as lighting in indoor spaces. The interest of LED is also its longer life, 15 to 20 y...

Which lights are suitable for an apartment complex? The apartment complexes are composed of different spaces: staircases, entrances, gardens, garages etc. For this reason, it is crucial to carefully choose the type of luminaire to install and their positioning. For stairwells and entrances, we recommend installing bulkhead LEDs on walls or ceilings. These luminaires have high protection against dust and moisture (IP). Indeed, in these spaces, it is very common to find a lot of dust affecting the quality of the light. With regard to recessed lights, we suggest LED spotlights . These sources of light create a welcoming and modern atmosphere. These spots also diffuse a reliable light, united, consuming little energy. It is important to ensure that the amount of light emitted is sufficient. For example, in entries, a minimum of 50 lux is required. However, if there is activity in the building, make sure you have a minimum of 500 lux. For light in general, it is important to ensure...

Save Money with Smart Lighting Lighting accounts for about 20% of your energy costs. For businesses, it's even more, between 30% and 60%. If you still use halogen bulbs, incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes, you can consider LED technology as a replacement. The LED light comes on automatically and emits no heat. This means that all energy is converted to light and the risk of fire is reduced. Thanks to their low energy consumption and their long life, LED lamps will save you a lot of money on your bills, in addition to reducing your impact on the environment. Sensors are also part of smart lighting: Motion detector These sensors identify if there is movement or presence in the room. Twilight switches They detect the absence of daylight in a room. Smart lighting, how to do? Do not light up unused places, dim the light in unoccupied offices or stairs for example. Each lighting mode is possible thanks to a light management system. It sounds complicated, but it ce...
