What is the difference in brightness between Lumens versus Lux?

• When choosing backlighting, understanding lumens and lux is key. Lumens measure total light output, but lux (which measures light intensity on a surface) is what really matters. High lux ensures your backlit area is evenly and effectively illuminated, creating the desired visual impact. For backlighting, prioritize lux to achieve consistent, uniform brightness across your project.

What is Color Temperature (CCT)?

• The color temperature of your backlighting significantly influences the mood and aesthetic of the illuminated surface. Warmer temperatures (2700K-3000K) cast a soft, inviting glow, ideal for hospitality or residential spaces where comfort and warmth are prioritized. On the other hand, cooler temperatures (5000K-6500K) produce a sharper, more clinical light, perfect for modern, high-tech environments or commercial spaces where a crisp, professional look is desired. Understanding the impact of color temperature allows you to craft the perfect ambiance for your project.

What is Color Rendering Index (CRI)?

• The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is a critical measure of how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. A high CRI (90+) ensures that colors are vibrant and true to life, making it especially important in settings like retail displays, art galleries or anywhere color fidelity is crucial. For backlighting, a high CRI enhances the visual appeal of the illuminated content, ensuring that what you see is what you get, without color distortions that could mislead customers or detract from the intended design.

How energy efficient are LEDs?

• Energy efficiency is a key consideration in any lighting project, and LEDs are the gold standard in this regard. They offer high efficacy (lumens per watt), meaning they produce more light while consuming less power, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller environmental footprint. In addition to their efficiency, LEDs boast a long lifespan, reducing maintenance costs and the frequency of replacements. When choosing backlighting, prioritize energy efficient solutions to balance performance with sustainability.

Do Omnify light sheets have dimming capabilities?

• Dimming capabilities add a layer of versatility to your backlighting solution, allowing you to adjust the brightness to suit different times of day, moods or specific tasks. This feature is particularly valuable in multi-functional spaces or where lighting needs can change frequently, such as in restaurants, conference rooms or retail environments. Dimming also extends the lifespan of your lights and can contribute to energy savings, making it both a practical and economical choice.

Are Omnify light sheets customizable?

• Customizability is often the difference between a good backlighting solution and a perfect one. Being able to tailor the size, shape, thickness and even the lighting effects to your specific needs ensures that the backlighting not only fits but enhances your design vision. Whether you need ultra-thin panels for a tight space or a bespoke shape to match a unique architectural feature, we can offer the flexibility to meet your precise specifications. Custom backlighting solutions enable you to achieve a seamless integration that elevates the overall aesthetic and functionality of your project.
