Goodbye halogens!


Why halogen bulbs will disappear?

LED Light Bulbs 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 years for LEDs against 2 years for a halogen bulb. By switching to LED, you will save energy and reduce your maintenance and consumption costs.

How to choose the right LED bulb for my needs?

We have made it easy for you to find the right LED light for your needs. On our LED bulbs page you can use various filters to find the LED bulb you need. This will allow you to make a simple and lasting choice! LED is more efficient, cheaper in the long run and more environmentally friendly.

Non-Environmentally friendly

With halogen bulbs we learned that the watt was equal to the light. The more watts there are, the more light there is. This is no longer true. LED bulbs emit the same intensity but use less energy, choose LED bulbs according to their light output, measured in lumen.

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...

What lights for an apartment complex?

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...
