Built-in soft starter

LED soft start integrated in lighting

Solution to current spike when activating LED lights with soft start

When we activate an LED system, a current spike is triggered in the first few milliseconds.

In this short time, the power supply is faced with the task of building up the load and supplying the necessary power.

This initial phenomenon can create stresses in the system, affecting its stability and sometimes causing unwanted outages.

Gradual start-up

To address this challenge, a key solution has emerged: LED soft-start systems.

Unlike conventional ignition that requires immediate power delivery, this approach adopts a more gradual strategy.

During the first few milliseconds, the power supply delivers power to the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) progressively, thus avoiding sudden current peaks.

Stability and elimination of interruptions

The benefits of this approach are significant. Firstly, system stability is guaranteed.

The gradual delivery of power contributes to a smooth and controlled ignition, even in situations where multiple sources are connected to the mains.

In addition, the implementation of LED lights with soft-start plays a very important role in eliminating interruptions.

By avoiding initial overload, the chances of failure are reduced and overall system durability is improved.

Preventing glare in LED lighting

An additional, but no less important aspect is the elimination of glare when switching on the system.

The smooth transition provided by soft start creates a more comfortable environment with uniform and safe illumination for users, especially in situations with sensitive lighting conditions.

Integrating soft-start into LED systems not only effectively addresses the challenges associated with initial peak current, but also improves stability, reduces interruptions, controls luminous intensity and creates a smoother and more efficient lighting environment.

The benefits of integrated soft start

Integrated soft start in Actilum lighting systems represents a key innovation with significant benefits. This gradual approach to activating LED lights brings advantages that go beyond simply eliminating the initial current spike. Here we explore the key benefits of this technology:

Improved stability

Soft start ensures a smooth transition by delivering power gradually. This approach avoids sudden current spikes, contributing to improved stability in the lighting system. Users enjoy a controlled start-up without unpleasant surprises.

Reduced interruptions

By avoiding instantaneous power load, soft start minimises interruptions in system operation. This reduction in failures provides a more reliable and sustainable lighting experience, especially in environments with multiple sources connected to the mains.

High durability

Smooth start-up not only benefits stability, but also contributes to overall system durability. The elimination of harsh impacts on the lighting system reduces wear and tear on components, thus prolonging service life and optimising long-term performance.

More comfortable lighting environment

The gradual transition provided by soft start creates a more comfortable lighting environment for users. The absence of glare on activation improves visual comfort and light intensity, especially in situations where sensitive lighting is crucial.

Energy efficiency

By delivering power progressively, unnecessary power peaks are avoided, contributing to a more efficient management of energy consumption. This sustainable approach not only improves system efficiency, but also supports responsible energy practices.

Our objective, to find solutions.

At Actilum, we seek innovative lighting solutions that optimise system performance.

We persist in the continuous search for solutions that strengthen stability, minimise disruption and provide smoother illumination.

This commitment is the foundation of our dedication to excellence and efficiency in the lighting industry.

Power factor

LED technology has transformed lighting, providing efficiency and durability.

However, an often overlooked aspect is the Power Factor (PF), which plays a key role in the energy efficiency of LED systems.

Current drivers and their influence on the FP

A driver, or power supply, is an essential electronic component that is responsible for regulating and supplying the electrical current needed to power the light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Its main function is to convert the alternating current (AC) coming from the mains into direct current (DC), thus ensuring an adequate and stable power supply for proper operation.

During this conversion process, a phase shift occurs between voltage (V) and current (A).

This mismatch, determined by the quality of the driver, can significantly affect the overall performance of the power system.

What is Power Factor?

The PF, represented on a scale from 0 to 1, acts as an indicator of this phase shift or energy loss. A PF of 1 indicates a system with no phase shift, which is ideal for maximum efficiency.

On the other hand, the lower this value, the higher the phase shift and consequently the higher the power consumption of the LED system as a whole.

How to calculate the power factor?

For the power factor formula: PF = cos(θ), where θ is the phase angle between current and voltage.

It can also be calculated by dividing the active power (kW) by the apparent power (kVA). (See Kilovoltampere).

Relationship between FP and energy consumption

The relationship between FP and energy consumption is direct:

The lower the FP, the higher the consumption.

This means that the efficiency of LED lighting depends not only on the quality of the light emitting diodes, but also on the driver’s ability to minimise the phase shift.

What is the impact of a low level of FP?

Economy

It is not only the energy consumption that is affected by low FP, but also the associated costs. An inefficient LED system not only increases the utility bill, but also requires more installation capacity, which means additional expenses.

Environment

From an environmental perspective, increased energy consumption contributes to higher resource demand and greenhouse gas emissions.

Thus, improving FP not only benefits finances, but also addresses environmental concerns.

How to improve and correct the PF factor in LED systems

For power factor (PF) correction and to optimise energy efficiency in LED lighting, it is essential to consider the quality of the current drivers. Choosing drivers with a high PF ensures optimum performance, minimising phase shift and thus reducing energy consumption in electrical circuits.

In addition, it is essential to involve LED design and installation professionals to ensure that specifications are met and efficiency is maximised in each project.

More efficient LED lighting

Power Factor emerges as a key element to evaluate and improve the useful energy in an electrical equipment or LED lighting system.

By understanding the relationship between FP, lag and energy consumption, we can make informed decisions that benefit both finances and the environment.

Investing in high quality drivers with a PF close to 1 is essential to ensure optimal and sustainable performance.

Our focus is on selecting and recommending high quality electronic components that contribute to maximising the lifetime, efficiency and overall performance of the LED lighting solutions we offer.

At Actilum we understand that the proper implementation of inputs and components not only impacts energy efficiency, but also economic and environmental aspects, which supports our commitment to sustainable and innovative solutions.

Kilovoltampere

A detailed analysis of energy consumption

In the field of LED lighting, understanding the technical terms is essential to make informed and energy-efficient decisions.

One of these key terms is kVA, which plays a major role in assessing the actual power consumption in the current circuits of our LED systems.

The kVA, or kilo volt ampere, is a measurement that provides information about the actual power consumption (W) of our LED system.

It is essential to be clear that 1000VA is equivalent to 1000W when the power factor (PF) is equal to 1.

Power factor

Power factor is a ratio that indicates the efficiency with which electrical energy is converted into useful energy (see Power Factor).

In the context of LED lighting, it is relevant to distinguish between kVA and kW.

Kilovoltampere and Kilowatts (kVA and kW)

The kW represents the active power of an electrical system, i.e. the real power or useful power, which it realises.

On the other hand, the kVA indicates the apparent power, which is the combination of active power and reactive power.

This measure not only considers the energy actually used to do useful work, but also takes into account the energy that is dissipated as reactive power, providing a more complete picture of the energy efficiency of the LED system.

Understanding this combination of factors is essential to optimise performance and minimise energy waste in our lighting installations.

Calculations

Now, let’s look at a practical example to understand how this affects our energy bills.

Suppose our LED system consumes 1000W with a power factor (PF) of 0.6. In this case, the total amount of real power we will pay for is not just 1000W, but 1400W.

This discrepancy between active kW power and apparent kVa power has economic implications.

Energy suppliers usually bill for the apparent power consumed, which means that we pay for an amount of energy that is not efficiently used in the system.

Understanding this difference is essential to optimise consumption and reduce associated costs.

The kVA in LED lighting is not just a technical concept; it has a direct impact on our energy bills.

By understanding and considering power factor when designing and implementing LED lighting systems, we can maximise energy efficiency and minimise the operating costs of an electrical circuit or electrical equipment.

In the context of LED lighting, understanding kVA means recognising its importance in assessing the actual energy consumption of systems.

At Actilum, we are committed to efficiency and sustainability in each of our projects. We constantly seek to integrate innovative technologies and practices that not only optimise energy consumption, but also reduce environmental impact.

Our mission is to go beyond lighting, working in partnership with our customers to develop solutions that reflect not only a commitment to efficiency, but also to long-term environmental responsibility.

LED color

In LED lighting, the colour temperature emitted by a light source plays a fundamental role in defining the essence of the light that surrounds us.

This parameter, measured in degrees Kelvin (K), shows us a range of tones from warm, pleasant light to cold, stimulating light.

In this article, we explain the significance of LED colour temperature and its impact on our everyday visual experiences.

The fundamental principles of colour temperature in LED technology.

The basis of LED colour temperature goes back to a fascinating physical principle: the behaviour of a black body when heated.

When this body is subjected to an increase in temperature, it emits light, and the shade of this light varies according to the temperature in degrees Kelvin.

It is this luminous diversity that gives rise to the tones that we perceive as warm, neutral and cool light colour in LED luminaires.

It is essential to understand that colour temperature not only affects the aesthetic appearance of light, but also influences psychological and emotional aspects.

Light emitted in warm tones can induce a cosy and relaxing feeling, as opposed to cold light, which tends to intensify concentration and alertness.

Manufacture of LED colour temperature luminaires

The production of LED lamps involves the precise application of chemical combinations in a process that demands specific skills in the manipulation and mixing of compounds.

The efficacy of LED light bulbs is based on the meticulous combination of chemical compounds during their manufacturing process. Each compound plays a specific role in light emission, and the selection of these components is decisive for the final colour temperature of the device.

At Actilum, LED lighting engineers and designers work to create combinations that suit various environments and needs.

From the warmth that brightens a living room to the clarity that boosts productivity in a workspace, colour temperature becomes a versatile tool for customising the lighting experience.

Practical applications in everyday life

The distinction between cool, neutral and warm light in lighting plays an essential role in creating specific moods.

The cool white light (5000-6500K) with a higher colour temperature emits a bright and stimulating light, ideal for environments where greater visibility and concentration is sought, such as work areas.

On the other hand, neutral light (3500-5000K) offers a balanced light, suitable for versatile environments such as offices and shops.

Meanwhile, warm white (2700-3500K) with a lower colour temperature provides a soft and cosy light, perfect for relaxing and convivial spaces such as living rooms.

The choice between these shades allows the lighting to be adapted to the specific needs of each space, thus contributing to the creation of personalised and comfortable visual experiences.

Colour temperature in LED lighting as an essential tool in lighting design.

LED colour temperature is not just a technical detail, but a powerful tool that influences our perception of our surroundings.

From the science behind it to the practical applications in our daily lives, colour temperature is positioned as an essential element in modern lighting design.

By understanding and appreciating the complexity of LED colour temperature, we can take full advantage of its benefits, creating illuminated spaces that not only meet functional needs, but also elevate our visual experiences to new heights.

Luz directa

Backlight

Efficiency lm/W

Luminous efficiency or luminous efficacy (lm/W) is the measure for evaluating the performance of light sources, especially in the context of technologies such as LED luminaires.

This indicator is defined, for example, as the quotient or ratio between the luminous flux of a lamp, measured in lumens, and the electrical power consumed.

Lighting sustainability

Less energy, more light

When a light source, such as LED lamps, operates with high luminous efficiency and adequate power, it means that it is generating more light with less electrical energy.

This efficiency is essential because energy that is not converted into light is dissipated as heat. Consequently, higher luminous efficiency means less energy wasted in the form of heat and higher efficiency in terms of luminous flux emitted.

Luminous efficiency formula

Luminous efficiency (lm/W) is calculated by dividing the luminous flux, expressed in lumens, by the power consumed, measured in watts. This simple but powerful formula gives us a direct quantitative indicator of how much light is produced for each unit of electrical energy used.

In other words, the formula is expressed as:

Luminous Efficiency (lm/W) = Luminous Flux (lm) / Power Consumption (W)

Understanding each component of this equation is essential.

Luminous flux represents the total amount of visible light emitted by the light source, measured in lumens.

On the other hand, the power consumed is the amount of electrical energy used by the light source, measured in watts.

Luminous efficiency therefore gives a clear picture of how much light is being produced for each watt of electricity consumed.

Practical applications

Luminous efficiency examples

Understanding the luminous efficiency of LEDs is fundamental to the design of efficient and sustainable lighting systems.

Traditional incandescent bulb:

Luminous flux: 800 lumens
Power Consumption: 60 watts
Luminous Efficiency: 800/ 60 = 13.33 (lumens per watt lm/W)

High efficiency LED:

Luminous flux: 1200 lumens
Power Consumption: 10 watts
Luminous Efficiency: 1200/10 = 120 lm/W

High pressure halogen floodlight

Luminous flux: 500 lumens
Power Consumption: 50 watts
Luminous Efficiency: 500/50 = 10 lm/W

More advanced technologies, such as LEDs, tend to offer much higher luminous efficacies compared to older technologies, such as incandescent lamps or halogen bulbs.

Higher luminous efficacy indicates that more light is being generated with less energy consumption, which is essential for efficient and sustainable lighting.

Ejemplo de eficiencia luminosa (lm/W)

Lumen

Lumen meaning: unit of the International System of Measurement, which is used to quantify luminous flux. A precise measure of the luminous intensity emitted by a light source..

Lux and lumen

Technical lighting concepts

Lumen as a seemingly simple concept is often intertwined with another term: Lux (lx).

It is important to understand the difference between lumen vs. lux for an accurate technical understanding in the field of lighting.

Mathematical relationship

Lux is equal to lumen per square metre

The relationship between lumen and lux is remarkable for its mathematical simplicity.

One lux is equivalent to one lumen per square metre. This direct connection between the two units enables an effective assessment of lighting in quantitative and technical terms.

The mathematical relationship between lux and lumen per square metre is essential to understand how the light emitted directly affects a specific surface.

Lux (lx), being the unit of illuminance measurement, provides valuable information about the amount of light incident on a given area. This concept becomes even more significant when it is recognised that one lux is equivalent to one lumen per square metre.

Practical example

To illustrate this, consider a practical example: if a lamp emits 500 lumens and that light is evenly distributed over an area of 1 square metre, the illuminance at that point would be 500 lux.

This direct relationship allows lighting professionals to precisely calculate the amount of luminous flux emitted by a light source to meet the specific requirements of a space, thus ensuring optimal levels of visible light.

The lumen-to-lux ratio per square metre is also critical in the design of efficient and customised lighting systems.

By understanding this connection, engineers can adjust the power of the light sources and their distribution to achieve uniform and appropriate illumination according to the particular needs of each environment.

This mathematical approach provides a quantitative basis for informed decision making in the design and implementation of lighting projects, ensuring not only a well-lit environment, but also efficient energy utilisation.

Ultimately, the lux-to-lumen ratio per square metre is not only a technical component, but a key tool for optimisation and efficiency in the field of lighting.

Lumen and Lux as fundamentals for optimal performance in technical lighting

Lumen and lux are two intrinsically connected but distinct concepts in the world of technical lighting.

Understanding the connection between the two units establishes a robust basis for the planning and realisation of lighting projects, ensuring efficient results and optimal luminous efficacy.

Consumption

Relationship between consumption and price kw/h

In the contemporary world, electricity consumption has become a fundamental aspect of our daily lives, shaping the way we use and understand energy.

In this context, the term Electricity Consumption is an essential element in understanding the magnitude of our energy footprint.

We will examine the definition and importance of this concept, as well as recent changes to energy labelling in the European Union that have transformed the way we assess the efficiency of our electrical devices.

In addition, we will dive into the specificity of energy efficiency in lighting products, deciphering how our everyday choices can influence not only our bills, but also environmental sustainability.

What is the definition of this concept?

Kilowatt hours (kw/h)

Electricity consumption is defined as the amount of energy or power demanded during a specific period. The unit of measurement used to quantify this consumption is the kilowatt-hour (kW/h). This term refers to the energy consumed or power used during one hour.

It is essential to understand and efficiently manage our resources by knowing how much energy we use and how long we use it for.

In the dynamic landscape of electricity consumption, the price per kilowatt hour (kWh) is positioned as a determining factor.

Electricity prices fluctuate on the regulated market, directly influencing the electricity tariffs applied to our electricity consumption.

The unit of measurement, kilowatts (kW), plays a central role in the electricity bill, reflecting both consumption and the associated fixed price.

In this context, time discriminating tariffs introduce a strategic dimension, adjusting electricity prices according to the time zone.

Exploring PVPC tariff options and understanding variations in electricity prices throughout the day becomes essential to optimise consumption and efficiently manage costs.

Ultimately, making informed decisions about electricity tariffs and energy consumption translates directly into a more balanced electricity bill.

PVPC

PVPC is the acronym for Voluntary Price for the Small Consumer. This electricity tariff system, common in Spain, sets electricity prices in a regulated manner and applies to domestic consumers and small businesses.

Under the PVPC, prices vary throughout the day, reflecting supply and demand in the wholesale electricity market. This variability allows users to benefit from lower tariffs at times of lower demand, thus encouraging efficient management of electricity consumption and adaptation to market conditions.

The implementation of the PVPC aims to provide transparency and fairness in pricing for residential consumers and small businesses.

Changes to the energy label

From 1 March 2021, the European Union has implemented significant changes to the energy label, with the aim of optimising understanding and efficiency.

The “A+++, A++ and A+” categories for products were eliminated, establishing a common scale ranging from A to G. This measure aims to provide a clearer and more consistent classification for all rescaled products.

See EU article

These changes not only simplify decision-making for consumers, but also drive manufacturers to improve the efficiency of their products.

Energy rating

In the specific case of lighting products, efficiency plays a crucial role in determining their energy rating.

The rule applied is based on luminous efficacy, measured in lumens per watt (lm/W). How much light a device produces in relation to the amount of energy consumed is the key factor for its classification.

This means that, when choosing a luminaire or any other lighting device, we are not only considering how bright it is, but also how much energy it consumes to provide that light.

Choosing the right product

Opting for more energy-efficient products not only benefits our wallet in the long run, but also contributes to sustainability and reduced environmental impact.

Understanding electricity consumption and energy efficiency is essential in today’s age.

The revision of the energy label in the European Union is a significant step towards simplification and the promotion of more efficient products.

By considering efficiency in lighting and other devices, we not only make informed choices, but also contribute to a more sustainable future.

Our commitment

Actilum is distinguished by its strong commitment to sustainability in all aspects of its operations and products.

Voltage

Mesure et potentiel dans les circuits électriques

La tension, également connue sous le nom de différence de potentiel, apparaît comme une grandeur physique essentielle qui mesure la disparité du potentiel électrique entre deux points.

Tension électrique

La tension électrique est configurée comme une force qui fait circuler le courant dans le contexte des systèmes électriques. Nous abordons cette grandeur d’un point de vue technique et analytique, en reconnaissant le caractère unique de chaque différence de potentiel.

Une évaluation approfondie de ces différences est effectuée pour garantir l’efficacité de la mise en œuvre des projets dans le domaine de l’électricité.

Types de tension

Il existe deux principaux types de tension : la tension continue, présente dans les batteries et les circuits électroniques, et la tension alternative, caractérisée par une onde sinusoïdale et courante dans les systèmes de distribution d’électricité.

La capacité à comprendre et à manipuler les tensions continues et alternatives est essentielle dans les domaines de l’électrotechnique et de l’électronique.

Une mesure précise

Voltmètres

Pour quantifier la tension avec précision, on utilise des outils spécialisés tels que le voltmètre. Ces instruments de mesure permettent d’évaluer l’ampleur de la différence de potentiel et fournissent des informations précieuses pour la conception et la maintenance des systèmes électriques. La précision des mesures est essentielle pour garantir des performances fiables et sûres.

Unité de mesure

Volt

Le volt est l’unité de mesure SI qui quantifie la différence de potentiel électrique entre deux points d’un circuit électrique. Un volt est défini comme l’énergie consommée par un courant électrique d’un ampère traversant une résistance d’un ohm.

En termes plus simples, le volt mesure la force ou la pression avec laquelle le courant électrique circule dans un système. Il est essentiel pour comprendre et gérer le comportement électrique dans divers appareils et applications.

Analyse des variations de tension

Dans chaque projet, Actilum ne se contente pas de reconnaître ce qu’est la tension électrique en tant que grandeur physique, mais l’aborde avec une compréhension profonde et une attention méticuleuse.

Les variations de tension désignent les oscillations de l’amplitude de la différence de potentiel électrique dans un circuit. Ces variations, mesurées en volts, peuvent être positives ou négatives et sont essentielles pour comprendre la stabilité et les performances des systèmes électriques.

Loi d’Ohm

La loi d’Ohm établit la relation fondamentale entre le courant électrique (I), la résistance électrique (R) et la tension (V) dans un circuit électrique.

Selon cette loi, le courant (I) qui traverse un conducteur est directement proportionnel à la tension appliquée (V) et inversement proportionnel à la résistance (R) du conducteur.

La formule mathématique qui représente la loi d’Ohm est I = V/R.

En d’autres termes, le courant augmente avec une augmentation de la tension ou diminue avec une augmentation de la résistance. La loi d’Ohm est essentielle pour comprendre et calculer les relations électriques dans les circuits et constitue un outil fondamental dans l’ingénierie électrique et électronique.

Sources d’énergie

Dans les systèmes d’éclairage, les sources électriques jouent un rôle essentiel en fournissant l’énergie nécessaire aux luminaires. Quelques sources électriques courantes utilisées dans les systèmes d’éclairage sont décrites ici :

Alimentations conventionnelles

Ces sources alimentent en électricité les luminaires classiques, tels que les ampoules à incandescence ou les lampes fluorescentes. Elles fonctionnent à des tensions et des courants spécifiques en fonction des besoins de chaque type de luminaire.

Pilotes de LED

Spécifiquement pour l’éclairage par LED, les pilotes régulent le courant et la tension fournis aux diodes électroluminescentes (LED), assurant ainsi leur fonctionnement efficace et durable.

Alimentations régulées

Ils fournissent un courant constant et stable, essentiel pour les luminaires sensibles aux variations de l’alimentation électrique. Ils contribuent à maintenir des performances constantes et efficaces.

Actilum propose des solutions spécialisées et une approche minutieuse de la mise en œuvre des technologies électriques.

CCT

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) in LED Lighting

Introduction to CCT in Lighting

Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) is a key metric in the dimmable LED lighting industry, especially in spaces where LED lighting control through color temperature adjustment is essential for task performance, visual comfort and aesthetics of the environment.

CCT is measured in degrees Kelvin (K) and describes the hue emitted by a light source, categorizing it within a spectrum ranging from warm to cool tones.

CCT regulation in advanced lighting technology

In the context of advanced lighting systems, such as those offered by Actilum, the ability to adjust CCT is critical.

These systems allow users to dim the illumination spectrum between 2,700K, which emits a warm light similar to that of an incandescent lamp, to 6,500K, which produces a cooler daylight more akin to natural midday light.

This dimming is achieved through the use of adjustable LED light technologies that combine different LEDs to adjust the light output to the desired color temperature.

Practical applications of Adjustable CCT

The importance of this capability in dimmable LED luminaires lies in its practical applications. For example, in office environments, a higher CCT (cooler light) adjusts colors to improve concentration and reduce eyestrain. On the other hand, in residential or restaurant environments, a lower CCT (warmer light) can create a cozy, relaxing atmosphere.

Impact of CCT on color rendering

In addition, the CCT setting has significant implications on color rendering, which affects how we see colors in the illuminated environment. Properly selected CCT can improve the appearance of objects, especially in environments where color accuracy is critical, such as in museums and art galleries.

Technology and energy efficiency

The technology behind CCT dimming in lighting systems such as Actilum’s involves precise electronic control of the intensity of the different LEDs within the system. This not only allows for customization of the lighting experience but also contributes to energy efficiency, as users can adjust the lighting to their specific needs, avoiding excessive use of artificial light.

The Future of Adjustable CCT Lighting

The ability to adjust CCT in lighting systems represents a significant evolution in how we interact with spaces through light.

It not only improves the functionality and aesthetics of environments but also promotes well-being and sustainability.

The understanding and application of CCT in modern lighting is undoubtedly a step forward in the future of indoor and outdoor lighting.

Our commitment

Actilum focuses on innovation and delivering advanced lighting solutions, prioritizing efficiency and quality of light, tailored to the dynamic needs of users.

What are the types of lighting?

Product lighting technique is essential in marketing and item presentation, especially in e-commerce and advertising. This technique is mainly divided into four categories, each aimed at enhancing product features and capturing the consumer’s attention by avoiding the use of harsh or simply soft light and dark backgrounds.

Front lighting

This type of light provides uniform illumination over the front face of the product, minimizing shadows and highlighting frontal details. It is ideal for showing the front design of products such as cell phones and tablets but can result in flat images without much depth.

Sidelight and semi-sidelight

Used to highlight the texture, edges and depth of the product. By placing the light source on one side, soft shadows are created on the opposite side, adding contrast and depth to the image. It is particularly useful for products with surface details or textured finishes, such as textiles or watches.

Backlight

By placing the light source behind the product, a luminous outline or halo effect is achieved, which can be very effective for creating ambiance or highlighting the lines of transparent or translucent products, such as glass bottles or lighting elements.

Diffused light

Achieved by softening the light, usually with diffusers or through light bounce techniques, to wrap the product in soft, even illumination. This method reduces harsh shadows and glare, ideal for products with reflective surfaces such as jewelry or electronics. Diffused lighting is excellent for showing the product clearly and in detail, making it easier to appreciate colors and finishes.

Each technique has its specific application depending on the type of product, its material characteristics and the message to be conveyed. The right choice of lighting technique is essential to highlight the qualities of the product and make it attractive to potential buyers.

How to light a product photo?

Lighting for product photography

Lighting a product photo with LED light requires a detailed understanding of both the properties of light and the type of photography and characteristics of the product to be photographed.

LED light offers significant advantages due to its energy efficiency, durability and flexibility in terms of color temperature control and light direction.

The following are essential steps to achieve effective lighting for product photography using LED lights:

Selecting suitable LED lights

Choose LED lights that allow you to adjust intensity and color temperature. This is essential to tailor the lighting to the specific needs of the product, as different products benefit from different color temperatures (measured in Kelvin). Metallic products, for example, may require cooler light to highlight their shine and texture.

Setting up the workspace

Use a neutral background, preferably white or gray, to avoid unwanted colors reflected on the product. A controlled environment allows for better light manipulation and avoids interference from external light sources.

Positioning of lights

Lighting should be configured to minimize harsh shadows and unwanted reflections, especially on products with reflective surfaces. A common configuration includes a main light (key light) that provides the main illumination and one or more fill lights to soften shadows.

The main light should be positioned at an angle that enhances product features without creating distracting reflections.

Use of diffusers and reflectors

Diffusers can soften the direct light from the LEDs, reducing harsh shadows and harsh reflections. Reflectors, on the other hand, can be used to bounce light into shaded areas of the product, balancing the illumination and highlighting details.

Experimenting with light direction

Experimenting with different angles and directions of light can reveal unique product textures and details. Side lighting, for example, can enhance texture, while lighting from above can emphasize shape.

Adjusting light intensity and white balance

Adjust the intensity of the LED lights to obtain the desired effect, taking care not to overexpose the product. In addition, adjusting the white balance on the camera according to the color temperature of the LED lights ensures that the colors of the product are accurately reproduced.
