How do I know which colour temperature I require?

TL and PL tubes, discharge lamps are usually indicated by these numbers  827/830/840/865.  The 8 stands for the colour rendering of the lamp, or also 80Ra. This is standard. If the colour appears to be very good, then it is usually a Ra. This is mostly used in printing areas and hospitals.
The last two digits (827/830/840/865) represent the number of Kelvin:
 = 2700K = very warm white (living room) 
 = 3000K = Warm White (office area)
 = 4200K = Cool white (warehouses)
 = 6500K = Daylight (factories)

How can I replace halogen lamps with LED lamps?

Here below are the details how you can replace halogen lamps with LED lamps.
It is important to pay attention to the lamp base. A 12V halogen lamp can have a G4, G53, GU5.3 lamp base.
230V halogen lamps can have a GU10, E14 or E27 lamp base.
At the same time it is also important to keep the voltage on the same level.
If you have a halogen 12V, choose GU5.3 / MR16 LED lamps LV (12V), G4 / MR11 LED lamps (12V) and / or for AR111 G53 LED lamps (12V).
If you have a 230V halogen lamp, you should opt for the LED spot GU10 LED bulbs (230V) E27 LED bulbs (thick socket, 230V) and / or LED lamps for E14 (thin cap, 230V).

In all LED spots, it is indicated what wattage LED, can be replaced by halogen lamps. For example:
Philips ledspotLV 4-20W 2700K MR11 24D. De 4 stands for 4W LED. The 20 stands for 20W halogen.
Philips 20W 2700K MR11 ledspotLV 4-24D. The 4 stands for 4W LED. The 20 stands for 20W halogen.
Halogen lamps are generally warm white light (3000K). With LED spots you have a choice of choosing from various Colour Temperatures such as Very Warm White (2700K), Warm White (3000K) and Cool White (4000K) light.

How do I choose the right fluorescencent Lamp?

The wattage of all fluorescent lamps is connected to the length of the tube.
The higher the wattage of the tube, the longer its durability. If you have a 36W, you cannot replace it with a 18W bulb. This is in fact less than 36W.
Back to top

How do I choose the right PL lamp?

Just as with fluorescent lamps, the wattage of PL lamps is the same as what you are currently using.
The wattage of the PL-C and PL-T are connected to various lamp bases. It is therefore not possible for the PL-C and PL-T lamps to change from wattage.
The PL-S/L/H and R have the same lamp base, however, the ballast is specially adjusted to the wattage you have. Even with these types it is not possible to replace PL lamp 10W for a PL lamp 26W, unless your ballast is adjusted to a PL lamp, which is suitable for 26W.
Back to top

 How do I find the correct ballast?

Eventhough we are trying to provide as much as information possible about choosing the right ballast it remains a very complicated issue. Fortunately, we have a large database with lamp ballast combination tables. Please feel free to contact us for the most suitable gear.

Why are the Shipment charges so high?


Your products are packed safely to prevent any damage during shipment. This requires extra care in the packaging & dispatching using special material to keep your products intact and prevent damage in transit, which makes the shipment costs higher than normal shipment costs.
