Technical information
Are you curious to discover all the technical features of a lamp? Or don’t you know the meaning of something? Do not hesitate! The Lumx team explains all must-knows about lighting. In 1-2-3 you’ll find the perfect lamp!
Color temperature
The color temperature is expressed in Kelvin. How higher the amount of Kelvin, how cooler the light and vice-versa.

Appliance classes
Lamps can be subdivided in three classes. Each lamp has a symbol. The higher the class, the better the lamp is protected against electric shocks.
![Klasse 1](https://lumx.be/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/CLASS1.png)
Lamps suffice to the electric demands of class 1, which means functional isolation in all parts plus ground.
![Klasse 2](https://lumx.be/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/CLASS2.png)
Lamps suffice to the electric demands of class 2, which means complete isolation in all parts, no ground. In case of a electric fault there won’t be dangerous voltage on the touchable metal parts.
![Klasse 3](https://lumx.be/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/CLASS3.png)
Lamps suffice to the electric demands of class 3, which means the protection against electric shocks is based upon a supply with extra low security voltage (SELV) and on the fact that no voltages higher than SELV can be aroused.
