Lighting FAQ

Lighting temperature, lumen? What does it all mean, and how to interperet the Fermob lighting features

Fermob lamps are LED lamps. Lighting Colour Also known as lighting temperature. Each lamp will have its colour temperature noted in K (Kelvin). e.g. 6000k. This measures the colour temperature of the light. It indicates whether white light is warm (yellow hue - lower K) or cool (blue hue - higher K). It varies depending on the source. The higher the figure, the more bluish-white the colour temperature, while light with a lower colour temperature tends towards the red end of the scale Alter the colour temperature to create the right lighting mood This feature lets you adjust the colour temperature to the task at hand. Warm white (2,700 to 3,300°K) creates a comfortable mood that’s perfect for relaxing. Neutral white (4,200 to 4,500°K) is more soothing and energising. Cool white (5,500 to 6,500°K) is closest to natural daylight, with a slightly blue hue that boosts focus and concentration Lumen Luminous flux is a measure of the power of a light source as perceived by the human eye. It’s the most commonly used indicator of the total amount of light emitted by a light source in all directions.   Battery Life The battery’s capacity gradually decreases with the use of the light. This is a natural phenomenon. A use cycle includes a complete discharge and recharge of the battery (if the battery is discharged to 50% and then recharged to 100%, this is equivalent to 1/2 cycles). On average, Fermob lights vary between 300 and 500 cycles of use per battery. Fermob lights have a bypass circuit that custs the battery out of the loop when it is fully charged, so the lamp can be used wired in. The battery unit is replaceable. Charging Bluetooth compatability Resistance to dust and liquids Defines the degree of protection provided by the equipment against the penetration of solid matter (first figure) and liquid matter (second figure). The rating ranges from 00 to 68 (according to standard NF EN 60529).
