COLOR RENDERING INDEX
(CRI)
CRI measures how accurately a light source can render colors compared to a reference light
source, such as natural daylight. The index is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being
the highest and indicating that colors are rendered accurately.

CHANGING
Optical fibers are thin, flexible strands made of transparent materials, usually glass or plastic, that
can transmit light over long distances with minimal loss or distortion.
In optical fiber lighting, the light source is typically an LED or a halogen lamp that emits light into
one end of an optical fiber strand. The light travels through the fiber by internal reflection,
OPTICAL bouncing off the walls of the fiber due to the difference in refractive index between the core and
the cladding of the fiber.
FIBRE
These are lighting systems that can be controlled remotely and integrated with
other smart devices and home automation systems. These lights use wireless
communication protocols, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,, to connect to a network and
be controlled through a smartphone, voice command, or automation platforms.

LIGHTS
Battery-operated lights, as the name suggests, are lighting fixtures that are powered by batteries
instead of being connected to a traditional electrical power source. These lights are portable,
wireless, and can be used in a variety of settings where access to electricity may be limited or
unavailable.

RATIO
LUMEN TO WATT RATIO
LUMEN
Lumen output is a
measurement of the total
quantity of visible light
emitted by a light source. It’s
also commonly known as
brightness or light output.
WATTAGE
Wattage is a measure of how
much electricity (or energy) a
light bulb consumes to achieve
its lumen output.
LUMINOUS FLUX
Luminous flux is a measure of the total amount of visible light emitted by a
light source per unit of time. It quantifies the total amount of light energy
radiated in all directions by a light source. Luminous flux is typically measured
in lumens (lm).

IMPORTANT TIPS
PURPOSE & FUNCTION Determine the purpose and function of the light fixture. Are you looking for general ambient
lighting, task lighting, accent lighting, or decorative lighting? Understanding the intended function
will help guide your choice of fixture type, brightness, and design.
STYLE & AESTHETICS Consider the overall style and aesthetics of the space. Choose a light fixture that complements
the existing decor and design theme. Whether you prefer a modern, traditional, industrial, or
minimalist style, ensure the fixture's design aligns with the overall look and feel of the space.
Take into account the size and scale of the room or area where the fixture will be installed. A
SIZE & SCALE large, elaborate chandelier might overwhelm a small room, while a small fixture may get lost in a
large space. Consider the proportions and dimensions to select an appropriately sized fixture that
suits the space.
UV SAFE When purchasing light fixtures, opt for lights that are labeled as "UV-free" or "UV-blocking." These
bulbs are designed to minimize UV radiation emissions.
Consider the installation requirements and compatibilty of the fixture. Ensure you have the
INSTALLATION & necessary electrical connections and support for mounting the fixture.
COMPATIBILTY
Make sure CRI is >80
CRI
Set a budget for the light fixture and consider the cost of the fixture itself, as well as any additional
BUDGET installation or wiring costs. Keep in mind that higher-quality fixtures often provide better
performance and durability in the long run, but they may come with a higher upfront cost.
Consider energy efficiency when choosing a light fixture. Opt for fixtures that use energy-efficient
ENERGY EFFICIENCY light sources, such as LED bulbs, which consume less energy and have a longer lifespan
compared to traditional incandescent bulbs.
Check on site and off site warranty of the fixture that you are purchasing.
WARRANTY
Lastly, as per your requirement, check the watt and lument for the fixture.
