What are IP and IK ratings?
The 'IP' Code is a standard referred to as International Protection Marking (also commonly interpreted as Ingress Protection Marking) - it rates the inherent degree of 'sealing protection' provided by the mechanical casing/electrical enclosure of a device against intrusion from foreign bodies (e.g. - fingers, tools, wires, insects, dust etc.) and forms of water exposure … Continue reading What are IP and IK ratings?

What is halogen lamps?
The basic principle of generating light of halogen lamps is same as incandescent lamps; Thermal radiators. One problem with incandescent lamps is that as time passes, the glass bulb turns black due to the evaporation of the filament. The technology of preventing the blackening of the glass is the adding of halogens to the gas … Continue reading What is halogen lamps?

What is incandescent?
“Incandescent light and sunlight are two golden standards of lighting.” The main components of an incandescent lamp are only a tungsten filament and a glass bulb. The filament glows when heated sufficiently by an electric current due to electrical resistance. Like other heating elements or the sun, it radiates a continuous spectrum with the result … Continue reading What is incandescent?

What is different depending on the type of lamp?
The development of electric lighting was made through the consideration of how electricity was used to create a safe and bright light. The method that has been invented so far can be roughly divided into three. The first is a thermal radiator method that converts heat into light, and the second is a discharge method … Continue reading What is different depending on the type of lamp?
