The raw total amount of light emitted by the fixture in all directions (Total Engine Power Output).
Determines how light is directed. Narrow beams (30°) spotlight specific areas; Wide beams (120°) flood spaces evenly.
Actual brightness hitting floor or desk (1 Lux = 1 Lumen/m²). Calculated by Lumens, Height & Beam Angle.
Standardized digital file encoding precise 360° light intensity. Imported into DIALux software to render 3D Lux maps.
- Current Overclocking: Cheap drivers overdrive low-grade chips to fake temporary high brightness.
- Severe Heat Traps (Tj > 105°C): Destroys internal phosphor layers rapidly.
- Rapid Light Decay: Loses 40%–50% brightness in 18 months, turning into a sickly yellow glow.
- Rated Gold-Wire Chips: Runs tier-1 chips at optimal rated current for maximum Lumens per Watt.
- Heavy-Duty Heat Dissipation (Tj < 65°C): Thick aluminum substrate cools chips in milliseconds.
- <5% Decay in 50,000 Hours: Certified LM-80 performance. Maintains 95%+ brightness for decades.
Recommended official target Lux levels for visual productivity across international codes:
| Application Scenario | USA Code (IESNA) | Europe Code (EN 12464-1) | China Code (GB 50034) | Japan Code (JIS Z 9110) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Garage, Workshop & Utility | 150 – 300 Lux | 150 – 300 Lux | 150 – 300 Lux | 200 – 300 Lux |
| Office, Basement & Storage | 300 – 500 Lux | 500 Lux | 300 – 500 Lux | 500 – 750 Lux |
| Kitchen, Dining & Living Room | 150 – 300 Lux (Task: 500) | 300 – 500 Lux | 150 – 300 Lux | 200 – 500 Lux |
| Bedroom, Closet & Accent | 100 – 200 Lux | 100 – 200 Lux | 75 – 150 Lux | 100 – 200 Lux |
| Industrial High-Bay & Warehouse | 150 – 300 Lux | 200 – 300 Lux | 150 – 300 Lux | 150 – 300 Lux |
LPD (Lighting Power Density = Total Installed Watts / Floor Area) is legally mandated by building energy codes. HMINLED’s High-Efficacy LEDs (130+ lm/W) deliver full target Lux while keeping total wattage well under statutory caps:
| Application Area | US Max LPD (ASHRAE 90.1 / Title 24) | EU Max LPD (EN 15193 / EPBD) | China Max LPD (GB 50034) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garage, Workshop & Utility | < 0.40 W/ft² | < 4.5 W/m² | < 4.0 W/m² |
| Office, Basement & Storage | < 0.60 W/ft² | < 6.5 W/m² | < 7.0 W/m² |
| Kitchen, Dining & Living Room | < 0.55 W/ft² | < 6.0 W/m² | < 6.0 W/m² |
| Bedroom, Closet & Accent | < 0.35 W/ft² | < 4.0 W/m² | < 4.5 W/m² |
| Industrial High-Bay & Warehouse | < 0.45 W/ft² | < 5.0 W/m² | < 5.0 W/m² |
