What are the advantages of dimmable lights?

How do you dim lamps correctly?

Dimmable lights are a practical and popular solution for use in all kinds of rooms.

They make it possible to regulate the brightness as required. This is made possible by a special technology that allows the flow of electricity to be changed.

Being able to adjust the light intensity is an advantage both at work and during relaxing evenings. There are various types of dimmable lamps - they differ in terms of their technology and energy consumption.

The advantages of dimmable lights

- Energy saving:

Dimmable LED lights consume less electricity than conventional light bulbs or halogen lamps and are therefore more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

- Longer service life:

LED lamps have a longer service life than other light sources because they consume less electricity and are therefore used less. Compared to non-dimmable lamps, which often have a lifespan of just 1000 hours, dimmable lamps can last up to 25,000 hours or more.

Improved color rendering:

LED lamps offer high color rendering, which can be important in certain applications, such as interior design.

The effect of a room depends very much on its lighting.

Avoiding eye strain:

light can be particularly beneficial when working at a computer to avoid straining the eyes with bright light.

Indirectly, you are also making an investment in your health when you buy a dimmable light.

- Wide range of design options:

Dimmable lights are available in all colors, shapes, sizes and styles, including at skapetze®.

You caneven get professional advice from the lighting experts there, so you don't have to leave anything to chance.

This means that you are sure to find a luminaire that makes a beautiful addition to your room.

Flexible atmosphere:

Thanks to the dimmability, the light in the room can be adjusted to your current activity at any time, so you can always create the right atmosphere in the room. This makes a decisive difference.

It can therefore be said that dimmable luminaires offer a wide range of options for lighting interiors. In the skapetze® online store you will find a large selection - there is a suitable dimmable light source for every lamp, and vice versa.

How are lights dimmed?

- Via a dimmer, which is usually installed behind the switch or in the control cabinet

- With built-in dimming control (dimming technology is built into the light source here, dimming works via normal light switch in steps or continuously (retrofitting is very easy)

- Via switchable light sources (e.g. dimmable via iLight remote control - no additional installation in the house electrics necessary, but limited range)

- Via special power supply units (e.g. PushDim in conjunction with a push-button)

How do I know that a luminaire is dimmable?

Also bear in mind that it is best to use multiple light sources to ensure sufficient lighting.

This way you can also avoid shadows and illuminate the hallway more evenly.

What to do if a dimmable light flickers?

Older dimmer switches are often designed for a higher electrical load. So if you dim a low-voltage light source with such a switch, flickering may occur. In this case, you do not have to dispose of the entire lamp, a new dimmer switch is sufficient - you are sure to find what you are looking for at skapetze®.

How binding are dimmer recommendations?

The dimming behavior depends on the combination of light source and dimmer. An incorrect combination can cause the dimmer or the lamp to malfunction.

Manufacturers generally provide dimmer recommendations - this means that the dimmer has been tested together with the light source and does not exhibit any faults.

Of course, you do not necessarily have to adhere to this recommendation - after all, there are countless options on the market. However, the technical parameters must be right for a flawless application - so it's best not to experiment.

Just find out what technology your light needs when you buy it and then you can get started right away! At skapetze®, our lighting professionals will also advise you directly on the right (dimmable) light source when you buy a luminaire, so that none of your questions will remain unanswered.

In which rooms do dimmable luminaires make sense?

Basically, you can say that it makes sense to install dimmable luminaires in all common rooms in order to create different moods.

Common rooms are for example the kitchen, the living room, the bedroom and the bathroom.

In rooms such as the hallway, we recommend luminaires with motion detectors to reduce your electricity consumption.
