LEDarmaturer

LEDarmaturer are luminaires that use light-emitting diodes as the primary light source. They consist of a LED module or array, an electrical driver, optics or lenses, and a housing with thermal management. LEDarmaturer can be standalone fixtures or integrated into larger lighting systems and are designed to replace conventional luminaires across many applications.

Common types include downlights, panel luminaires (troffers), linear fixtures, track heads, ceiling-mounted battens, and outdoor floodlights. Indoor versions may be recessed or surface-mounted; outdoor models are rated for weather exposure with IP protection and corrosion resistance.

Key advantages are high energy efficiency, long service life, and low maintenance, in addition to instant full brightness and, often, dimmability. They offer a wide range of correlated color temperatures and color rendering indices. Performance depends on effective thermal management; overheating reduces light output and lifespan. Modern LEDs typically provide tens to hundreds of lumens per watt.

Design considerations include thermal design, driver quality, flicker, dimming compatibility, and power quality. Luminaires should comply with national and international safety standards (for example EN/IEC 60598) and carry appropriate certifications. Outdoor products require adequate IP ratings and weather sealing.

From an environmental perspective, LEDs contain no mercury and generally offer lower lifecycle energy use than traditional lighting. End-of-life planning should consider recycling of electronic components. When selecting LEDarmaturer, factors include luminous flux, correlated color temperature, CRI, dimming method, input voltage, and warranty.
