Power Supply
The power supply is a set of systems capable of providing electricity to units with this energy. Supplies have features in
current, voltage and in frequency.
current, voltage and in frequency.
Opening Angle
The scattering angle of a light source indicates the angle it can illuminate. An acute angle (eg 30 °) illuminates a limited
area and is well suited for lighting small areas. A wide angle diffusion is necessary to illuminate a larger area.
area and is well suited for lighting small areas. A wide angle diffusion is necessary to illuminate a larger area.
Base
The base of a light bulb is the metal tip that allows the attachment into a socket. There are several types of bases,
available in various sizes. Different types of bases : screw base, bayonet, pin base and base with two connectors.

WEEE
The waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE abbreviation) is the waste of equipment which is dependent on
electric currents or electromagnetic fields, that is to say, all equipment operating with an electrical outlet, a battery or
an accumulator. Lights are included in this type of equipment.

RoHS Directive 2006/95/CE
EU RoHS directive (Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment) restricts the
use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment such as: lead, mercury, cadmium,
hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB)

Lifespan
The lifespan of a LED indicates the time at which it emits less than 70% of its initial luminous flux flow. Each lifespan
expressed on datasheets corresponds to performance at 25

°C
.
Lumen (lm)
Amount of light produced by a source : luminous flux. Each luminous flux expressed on datasheets represents the flow
of lumen output of the luminaire.
of lumen output of the luminaire.
Luminous efficiency (Lumen per Watt lm/w)
It defines the ability of a light to produce a significant flow from a Watt (W) Power absorbed. The more luminous
efficiency is high, the less the lamp consumes electricity.
efficiency is high, the less the lamp consumes electricity.
IP, th Index of Protection
The IP index expresses the degree of protection against ingress of solid bodies (1st digit - increasing protection 0-6) and
against the ingress of water (2nd digit - increasing protection 0-8).
against the ingress of water (2nd digit - increasing protection 0-8).
CRI
Color Rendering Index: This index defines the ability of a light not to distort the color appearance of the objects it
illuminates. For example, sunlight has a CRI of 100. The index ranges from 0 to 100, with:
RC <60: bad; 60 <IRC <80: ok, CRI> 80: good; 100: excellent.

RC <60: bad; 60 <IRC <80: ok, CRI> 80: good; 100: excellent.
Luminance (candela per square meter: cd / m²)
Light intensity reflected or produced by a given surface. It allows to assess glare.
Lux (lx)
Quantity of light reaching a surface, illumination of that surface
CE Marking
Indicates compliance of a product with the requirements of the European directives.
Recycling of LED
The symbol " dustbin " in mandatory since 2005 on lighting packaging, it means that they should not be disposed of
with household waste.
LED lights out of use are classified as waste WEEE ( Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) . A LED bulb is almost
entirely recyclable. Its main advantage compared to a compact fluorescent bulb is that it embeds no mercury or
fluorescent powder. Therefore, the used bulbs can be disposed of at reported retailers , in supermarkets , in DIY stores,
wholesalers in furniture collection in " open access ", such as for batteries. LED lighting inoperative may also be
deposited in waste . Many local authorities have set up collection of bulbs in their recycling centers . Some recycling
centers also accept used bulbs issued from professional usage.

Color Temperature (Kelvin (K))
Characterizes the apparent color of the light emitted by a light source. It is expressed in Kelvin. The color temperature is
low for warm/hot lights and high for cool lights. <3300K: warm tint, between 3300 and 5300K: neutral tint;> 5300K: cool
tint.
