Keyword Definition
Lumen Lumen is a unit of luminous flux in the International System of Units that is equal to the amount of light given out through a solid angle by a source of one-candela intensity radiating equally in all directions.
Footcandle A foot-candle (or foot-candle, fc, lm/ft2, or ft-c) is a measurement of light intensity. One foot-candle is defined as enough light to saturate a one-foot square with one lumen of light.
Colour Rendering Index (CRI) Color Rendering Index (CRI) is a measurement of how natural colors render under an artificial white light source when compared with sunlight. The index is measured from 0-100, with a perfect 100 indicating that colors of objects under the light source appear the same as they would under natural sunlight.
Luminous flux Luminous flux is a measure of the power of visible light produced by a light source or light fitting. It is measured in lumens (lm).
Annual Energy Cost Annual Energy Cost means the average daily energy consumption multiplied by 365 (days per year), expressed in kilowatt hour per year (kWh/a).
Constant voltage drivers Constant voltage drivers are designed for a single direct current (DC) output voltage. Most common constant voltage drivers (or Power Supplies) are 12VDC or 24VDC. An LED light that is rated for constant voltage usually specifies the amount of input voltage it needs to operate correctly.
Constant Current Driver Constant current LED drivers are designed for a designated range of output voltages and a fixed output current (mA). LEDs that are rated to operate on a constant current driver require a designated supply of current usually specified in milliamps (mA) or amps (A). These drivers vary the voltage along an electronic circuit which allows current to remain constant throughout the LED system.
Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) Minimum Energy Performance Standards specify the minimum level of energy performance that appliances and equipment must meet or exceed before they can supply or used for commercial purposes.
Luminous Efficacy Luminous efficacy is a measurement commonly used in the lighting industry that indicates the ability of a light source to emit visible light using a given amount of power.
Solid State Lighting Solid-state lighting (SSL) is a type of lighting that uses semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs), organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), or polymer light-emitting diodes (PLED) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments, plasma (used in arc lamps such as fluorescent lamps), or gas.
Rated Lamp Life Lamp life, also referred to as rated life, is the time in hours a lamp will last before a percentage of lamps will burn out.
Color Temperature Colour temperature is a scale that measures how ‘warm’ (yellow) or ‘cool’ (blue) the light from a particular source is. It is measured in degrees of the Kelvin scale (abbreviated to K), and the higher the number, the ‘cooler’ the light. The lower the ‘K’ number, the ‘warmer’ the light.
Ingress Protection rating (IP rating) The IP (Ingress Protection) rating of a bulb or light fixture declares the level of protection it has against dirt and water.
Fidelity Index The general colour fidelity index, Rf, represents how closely the colour appearances of the entire sample set are reproduced (rendered) on average by a test light as compared to those under a reference illuminant.
Gamut Index The gamut area is defined as “the area enclosed by a set of test color samples illuminated by a light source, in a two-dimensional chromaticity diagram or a plane of color space.”1 Within a defined color space, a “gamut” describes the subset of colors that can be perceived under specific lighting conditions.
Binning In the lighting industry, the act of "binning" of LEDs is the process of sorting LEDs by certain characteristics, such as color, voltage, and brightness.
Accent lighting Accent lighting, also called highlighting, emphasizes objects by focusing light directly on them. Accent lighting is used inside and outside the home to feature locations such as an entrance or to create dramatic effects.
Dimmable driver A dimming driver has two functions: As a driver, it converts the 230V AC mains input to a low voltage DC output. As a dimmer, it reduces the amount of electrical energy flowing to the LEDs, thereby causing them to dim.
Flicker Flicker is the repeated and frequent variation in the output of a light source over time.
Fluorescent A property of materials defined as the ability to emit light after absorbing electromagnetic radiation such as visible or UV light.
Candela The candela is the unit of luminous intensity in the International System of Units. It measures the light output per unit solid angle emitted from a light source in a specific direction.
LUX Lux is used to measure the amount of light output in a given area - one lux is equal to one lumen per square meter. It enables us to measure the total "amount" of visible light present and the intensity of the illumination on a surface.
Uniformity (U0) The uniformity of lighting has significant effects on visual performance in both indoor and outdoor areas. Uniformity (represented as U0) value can be found by dividing the minimum brightness (Emin) resulting from calculations according to the current lighting order, to the average brightness value (Eavg).
Visible Light Spectrum The visible light spectrum is the segment of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can view. More simply, this range of wavelengths is called visible light. Typically, the human eye can detect wavelengths from 380 to 700 nanometers.
Ambient Temperature Ambient Temperature is the temperature of the air surrounding an electrical enclosure.
Current-controlled dimming control Current-controlled dimming controls LED brightness by varying the applied current using a 0-10V dimmer. Current-controlled dimming is smooth and HD-video friendly. It can only dim to a minimum of 5% of light output.
Design Light Consortium It is a partnership of energy efficiency stakeholders in the United States and Canada to “promote quality, performance and energy efficient lighting solutions for the commercial sector”.
Pulse Width Modulation Pulse-width modulation, or pulse-duration modulation, is a method of controlling the average power delivered by an electrical signal.
Surface Mounted Device A surface mount device (SMD) is an electronic device whose components are mounted or placed directly on the surface of a printed circuit board.
Alternating Current Alternating current is an electric current which periodically reverses direction and changes its magnitude continuously with time, in contrast to direct current, which flows only in one direction.
Direct Current Direct current (DC) is an electric current that is uni-directional, so the flow of charge is always in the same direction.
Beam Angle Beam angle (also called beam spread) is a measure of how light is distributed. On any plane perpendicular to the centerline of the light, the beam angle is the angle between two rays where the light intensity is 50% of the maximum light intensity.
LED Based Solar High Mast Lighting Systems A Solar LED High Mast Light is a raised source of High illumination lights (6~8 lights) and with high intensity on the middle of major junctions (Ring roads, Outer Ring roads), turned on or lit automatically in the absence of light (at specified timings or at periodic times, every night).
Surface Mounted Diode (SMD) LEDs A surface mount diode is a type that emits light and is flat mounted and soldered onto a circuit board.
Chip on Board (COB) LEDs A COB LED is basically multiple LED chips (usually 9 or more) glued directly onto a substrate by the manufacturer to form a single module.
Dual In-Line Package (DIP) LEDs A dual in-line package (DIP or DIL) is an electronic component package with a rectangular case and two parallel rows of electrical connector pins.
Graphene LED Lights A graphene LED light bulb is simply an LED light bulb where the filament has been coated in graphene. A graphene LED bulb is reported to be 10% more efficient than regular LED light bulbs and they are cheaper to manufacture and buy.
LED Corn Bulbs LED Corn lights are designed as an energy efficient alternative to high intensity discharge (HID) and SON lamps. It uses a large number of LEDs on a metal structure to provide sufficient light. This arrangement of LEDs looks a lot like a corn cob, hence the name "corn light".
Per Capita Income Per capita income or total income measures the average income earned per person in a given area in a specified year. It is calculated by dividing the area's total income by its total population. Per capita income is national income divided by population size.
Charging Stations A charging station, also known as a charging station or electric vehicle utility, is a power supply that provides electrical energy for charging plug-in electric vehicles.
