LED filament lamp gold lustered Kaventsmann

With sheer size proliferate these lamps of a caliber, the existence of which the average illuminant in the past at best on the occasion of a lighthouse climb may have become aware. In any case, we have named the series Kaventsmann in reference to this maritime context. Since the lamps are not only of imposing dimensions, but also gold lustered, it needs nothing more than a socket, so that they become serious lights, which fully stand on their own or hang.

What lights these luminants turns out to be a complex construction on closer inspection: You find a so-called substrate (a carrier made of glass) densely covered with a multitude of tiny chip-diode pairs and a fluorescent layer on these diodes consisting mainly of phosphor. In terms of luminous efficacy, light colour and colour rendering, the phosphorous layer provides light properties that come very close to those of the former incandescent light bulbs banned by EU regulation. Besides, LED filament bulbs exceedingly outdo their forerunners in energy efficiency and average service life; therefore, they are a fully-fledged replacement for the traditional incandescent light bulbs.

The striking resemblance of the LED filament bulbs shown here to classic types of incandescent bulbs has quite banal technical reasons. Firstly, this is why these bulbs fit into all luminaires with standard sockets (E27, E14). Secondly, in this way, they are able to provide light beams at the same angle as classic incandescent bulbs. And the latter’s light output was the basis for blueprinting the lighting design of most luminaires in use. LED filament bulbs, therefore, can fully replace or may even surpass their discarded “ancestors” in all respects.
