Light Sources
Light sources form the core of any lighting installation, determining the atmosphere, functionality, and energy efficiency of a space. In recent decades, the development of lighting technology has taken off rapidly, with the transition from traditional incandescent and halogen lamps to modern LED solutions. This evolution has not only led to substantial energy savings but also to a wide range of possibilities in lighting design and application.
Whether it's illuminating a home, office, retail space, or industrial hall, the right light source makes a world of difference. A thoughtful choice contributes to a comfortable environment, increases productivity, and ensures efficient energy use.

The Evolution of Lighting: From Traditional to LED
Light sources have changed significantly over the years. While incandescent and halogen lamps were once the standard, LED technology now dominates the market. This is no coincidence; LED offers a superior combination of energy efficiency, longevity, and flexibility.
The shift to LED is partly driven by legislation and an increasing awareness of sustainability. LED lamps consume significantly less energy for the same light output and have a much longer lifespan than their predecessors. This reduces the need for frequent replacement and lowers operational costs. Moreover, LED light sources contain no harmful substances such as mercury, contributing to a better environment.
Various Types of Light Sources and Their Suitable Applications
The range of light sources is extensive, with each type offering specific properties and application possibilities. A good understanding of this is helpful when selecting the right lighting for a project.
LED Lamps: Versatile and Widely Applicable
LED lamps are the most common replacements for traditional incandescent and halogen lamps. They are available with a wide range of fittings, including E27 (large screw fitting), E14 (small screw fitting), and GU10 (plug fitting). This makes them very versatile for general lighting in homes, stores, and offices. There are various shapes, from classic bulb and candle shapes to modern filament lamps that offer a decorative appearance.
Frequently asked questions about LED lamps concern their dimmability and light color. Many modern LED lamps are dimmable, but it is important to check whether the lamp is compatible with the existing dimmer. Light color ranges from very warm white (around 2200K) for a cozy atmosphere to cool white (above 4000K) for functional workspaces.
