As is normal for any Energy transformation
when the conversion work is increased the
efficiency decreases, and this explains
why warm white LEDs are less efficient
than cold ones. This is also true for LEDs
with a high color rendering index (CRI).
The CRI, as its name suggests, is an
index and it expresses how a light source,
when compared to a reference sample,
can reproduce colors. By definition the

water ingress in the fitting.
FINISHING COLOURS: double layer coating for high resistance to corrosion.
Double layer coating for high resistance to corrosion: The aluminium components are painted with a double coat using powders which
are complaint with QUALICOAT standards: a first layer of epoxy powder (with excellent chemical and mechanical resistance) and a
second finishing layer of polyester powder (resistant to UV rays and atmospheric agents).The entire painting process of the aluminium
fitting starts from components which have been sand-blasted in advance to make the surface more porous and increase the adherence
of the paint. Ares effects alkaline and acid washing to clean the surfaces completely, then rinses with demineralised water to remove
any residue particles, subsequently a chemical conversion treatment is done to protect against rusting.
