Combining components wisely
Whereas the lighting for a new building can be designed and optimised along with the building itself, refurbishment often involves taking account of special features of the existing building.
Nevertheless, as a general rule, the individual components of a modern lighting system are readily combinable:
* Energy-saving light sources such as LEDs or modern fluorescent lamps are the basis of efficient lighting.
*Electronic ballasts (EBs) ensure that lamps and LEDs work efficiently.
* Optimised luminaires direct light where it is needed and avoid scattering losses.
*Electronic lighting management gears lighting to actual requirements.
