The gas pressure regulator is a safety-critical component between the gas cylinder and the pizza oven. It reduces the high cylinder pressure to a constant working pressure and protects the appliance from overpressure. This article explains the different types, what 30 and 50 mbar mean, and what to look for when buying.
Gesture control in luminaires explained: light without touch
Gesture control enables contactlessoperation of luminaires directly at thesensor – with no wall dimmer,app, or remote control. Switching onand off, dimming, adjustingcolour temperature: a hand movement isall ittakes. This article explains how thetechnology works and what it can do.
Glare and Glare Protection in Luminaires Explained
Glare is caused by excessive luminance levels or strong brightness contrasts within the field of vision – either as direct glare from the light source itself or as reflected glare off glossy surfaces. Effective countermeasures include diffusers, reflectors, louvre grilles, correct luminaire positioning and indirect lighting. Due to their small yet extremely bright light-emitting surface, LEDs produce more glare than traditional incandescent bulbs and therefore require appropriate shielding.
Glare Control Explained: Why Glare-Free Light Matters
Glare control refers to all structural and optical measures in a luminaire that ensure light is emitted into the room free of glare or with minimal glare.
