The main doubt in relation to LED lighting comes from not understanding the difference between Lumens and Watts. Many people are confused and end up mixing things up at the moment of purchase because they don’t know the concepts of Lumens and Watts. That way, the outcome can be an undesired result.
It is essential to know the difference between Lumens and Watts when you choose your pool lighting, because it’s through that you will define lighting intensity and the area that will be lit, for example.
Let’s check out the differences, then:
Watt (W) is responsible for measuring the power capacity that a light bulb generates to provide light, that is, the energy that will be spent when the light bulb is on.
For that reason, there are many light bulbs that generate the same light intensity, but consume different energy values. However, it is important to know that whether the power capacity is high or low doesn’t influence the light bulb’s efficiency.
It is also important to consider the luminosity – how much light it emits.
Lumen (lm) refers to the light intensity generated by a light bulb.
The greater the light bulb’s lumen rate is, the greater its light intensity will also be when it is on.
Because of that, by choosing LED lighting for your pool, it is advised to evaluate the area you wish to be lit, and also to analyze how much light you wish for it, so you are able to make the right choice.
It is valuable to consult a specialist.
Regardless of the type you choose, by using Tholz’s automation system you can control the lighting system through remote control, or, if you prefer, through your phone!
You can also set a time to turn off the lights, and by doing that, you can spare energy.
