For the most part we work with three different types of light sources: FlexFluor (Flexible Florescent), Cold Cathode, and LEDs. All components are manufactured in house. The choice of lighting solution depends on the project at hand. We provide a description, technical data, and costs of the available lighting components below in order for you to make an educated decision on what lighting solution is best suited for your needs.
Flexfluor
FlexFluor is the name of a modern and innovative lighting technology that combines the photometric advantages of florescent light sources with the superior flexibility of cold cathode based lighting solutions to permit the installation in a high variety of lighting applications. There are almost no restrictions to the shapes and sizes a Flexflour light source can take; Flexfluor solutions can use the whole bandwidth of florescent colors (over 150) currently available to the market, even custom designed colors are available on demand. FlexFluor installations offer step-less dimming and a superior CRI index.
Cold Cathode
Cold Cathode tubes marked the beginning of florescent lighting. They are more commonly known as neon tubes and are very popular in light advertising applications.
Overview Light Sources
| Lighting technology | Life expectancy | Luminance | CRI | Relative costs | Total costs | HG-emissions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (h) | (lm/W) | (Ra) | (€/900 lm) | (€/10.000h) | (mg) | |
| LED | 40.000 | 70 | 68 | 48,86 | 32,62 | 2 |
| Cold cathode | 15.000 | 30 | 60 | 25,41 | 59,44 | 54 |
| Warm cathode | 20.000 | 95 | 85 | 23,68 | 27,14 | 6 |
