In order to demonstrate the advantages of LED technology, you will find an overview of the special features of LEDs from August Müller Lichttechnik here:
- Luminous efficacy (efficiency): Up to 135 lm/W
- Lifespan: 50,000 hours
- Heat generation: Lower heat generation than all other illuminants
- Start time: Immediately bright and ready for use
- Dimmability: Our type D LED lights are dimmable.
- Switching cycles: Our LED lights Have no restrictions on the switching cycles
- Environment and health: LEDs are completely harmless
- Design: Robust plastic body
- Other advantages of LEDs: high IP classification for outdoor use, no flicker/flickering
