4. liniLED® - Is liniLED® controlable using a 0-10 volt signal?
   

   Yes, this is possible using a RGB/Dim controller, article number 011149.

5. liniLED® - Is liniLED® controlable using DMX?
   

   Yes, Triolight has various controllers in their product assortment, check out the PDF catalogue on the website for more information.

6. liniLED® - What IP-rating does liniLED® have?
   

   Standard IP40 and using a cast joint, article number 011533, liniLED^® is IP68.

7. liniLED® - What is the bendingradius of liniLED®?
   

   The maximum bendingradius of liniLED® is 3 centimetres.

8. liniLED® - What is the maximum connectionlength per connectorset?
   

   A maximum of 20 metres for liniLED^® monochrome and a maximum of 10 metres for liniLED^® RGB.

9. liniLED® - What is the maximum connectionlength per power supply?
   

   The power supply is determined by the total number of metres liniLED^® to be connected. More metres means a higher wattage and a more powerful power supply that is required.

10. liniLED® - What is the voltage of liniLED®?
    

    24 Volt DC.

11. liniLED® - What is the wattage of liniLED®?
    

    3,5 watt per metre for monochrome and 6 watt per metre for liniLED^® RGB.

12. Technical Terms - What is Candela?
    

    Candela (symbol cd) is the unit of light intensity.

    One candela has approximately the light intensity of an ordinary candle.

13. Technical Terms - What is CCT?
    

    CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature and is measured in Kelvin (K).

14. Technical Terms - What is CRI?
    

    CRI stands for Color Rendering Index. This is an index for the quality of the color of exposed objects by a lightsource. Scale from 0-100.

15. Technical Terms - What is Lumen maintenance?
    

    Lumen maintenance is the percentage of the lightoutput after een certain period of time.

16. Technical Terms - What is Lumen?
    

    Lumen (symbol: lm or cd sr) is the unit for flux, and describes the flux from one lightsource of 1 candela through a radius of 1 steradian. A 100 watt lightbulb gives a flux of ca. 1200 lumen.

17. Technical Terms - What is Luminous efficiency?
    

    Luminous efficiency means how efficient a lightsource is - a lot of light and a small wattage results in a better Luminous efficiency. The total lightoutput of a lightsource divided by the total power. It is measured in lumen per watt (lm/W).

     

18. Technical Terms - What is Lux?
    

    Lux (symbol lx) is the unit of illuminance: 1 lux is the illuminance produced by 1 candela on a surface perpendicular to the light at a distance of 1 metre from the source.

    1 lux = 1 lumen/m²

     

    Some typical examples:

    Sunlight: 100.000 – 130.000 lux

    Daylight, indirect sunlight: 10.000 – 20.000 lux

    Cloudy day: 1.000 lux

    Office: 200 - 400 lux

    Very dark day: 100 lux

    Dusk: 10 lux

    Dark dusk: 1 lux

    Full moon: 0,1 lux

    Quarter moon: 0,01 lux

    New moon without clouds: 0,001 lux

    Cloudy night without moon: 0,0001 lux

19. Technical Terms - What is RGB?
    

    RGB is the abbreviation for Red, Green and Blue. Bij combining these 3 colors every colorvariation can be produced. The secundaire colors of RGB are: Yellow, Magenta and Cyan.
