In this lights table you can find all our lights with there specifications
To make a good and thoughtfull choice when purchasing lights its important to be able to compare the right data with each other. Because there is no official international guidline or standard, BBB measures several values which we mention by our products. This way you can always compare our products with those of other suppliers. And of course compare our products with each other. If there are concepts you don't get, check the blogs below for an explanation.
