The demand for LEDs for lighting applications has risen dramatically in a very short space of time, forcing manufacturers of LED chips to improve and increase efficiency and output on a regular basis. Orbik pride themselves in keeping up to date with the latest technology, converting knowledge and expertise into the design and development of high quality products manufactured at their ISO9001 approved facilities in the UK.
Orbik only use high quality components from approved suppliers of LED technology, allowing them to manufacture a range of LED luminaires that are not only stylish, cost effective, energy efficient, and visually comfortable, but also offer the benefits of extended life and low maintenance when compared to its fluorescent equivalent.
Orbik LED Features & Benefits
Orbik offer a wide range of LED luminaires incorporating high specification, high performance, latest technology LEDs. The featured illustration is from an actual Orbik photometry report.
MacAdam ratings are shown using various size ellipses. Orbik strive to provide high quality LEDs that fall within the 3 step MacAdam rating, ensuring that the correlated colour temperature difference within each individual LED is so small, that no noticeable difference between LEDs will be seen by the naked eye.
What is an LED?
An LED is a semiconductor that’s primary function is to emit light. They are typically split into 3 categories:
The Science Behind It...
An LED is a device that allows electricity to pass through it in a single direction. All LEDs are direct current (DC) devices, requiring just a few Volts to operate. One of the most important characteristics of LEDs is that they are solid-state devices, meaning that rather than generating light through burning gas or discharge, LEDs use semiconductors.
LEDs emit light that can range from infra-red (non-visible) through the entire colour spectrum depending on the semiconductor material used. “White” LEDs are most commonly used, and these are produced by combining a blue chip with a yellow phosphor layer on top to produce white.
The colour appearance, or colour temperature (shown below), is abbreviated to CCT (correlated colour temperature). This scale is extremely important when selecting the correct LED specification and must be taken into consideration depending on individual application.
