LED concept
The reflector characterisitics of the HID luminaires create uniform, brilliant lighting of the retail areas. Characteristic are the soft transitions of cones of light. Due to a certain percentage of scattered light, harmonious luminance is obtained which creates a homogeneous room atmosphere. As compared with the LED concept, the HID concept shows a minimally higher efficiency.
