LampHQ was founded in 2018 to share professional lighting advice and inspiration for residential lighting. We help home and apartment owners/renters to understand all aspects of modern LED lighting technology. Additionally we provide lighting ideas to make your rooms have appropriate and stylish lighting.
The Future of Light
Old lighting technologies such as incandescent lamps, halogen lamps or compact fluorescent lights are becoming obsolete. LED technology has an incredible number of advantages and has established itself in many areas of life.
But at the same time the new technology has become much more complex. When purchasing LED luminaires and illuminants you have to consider many details in order to not be disappointed afterwards.
The Story of LampHQ
After growing tired of the old style, inefficient light fittings in my living room, I decided to swap them out with recessed LED downlights connected to dimmer switches. At this time I became aware of the complexity of the new LED technology when I started experiencing intermittent flickering issues. With the old light sources, only little thought was necessary for details like dimmability, color temperature, switching cycles, lumens per watts or color rendering index.
As a professional software developer and with degrees in Information Technology and Micro-electronic Engineering from Griffith University, I have a fairly detailed understanding of Light Emitting Diodes and decided to create this site as a resource for solving modern lighting issues.
I was also was able to create a range of lighting calculators. I’ve even made the scripts publicly available if you’re interested in how they work or want to use them for your own purposes. Lighting Calculator Scripts on Github
This all started as a side project and evolved into a major endeavour, with this site now receiving thousands of visitors every month. I will continue to explore issues and solutions with LED and modern lighting and I hope I can answer some of your problems with in-depth, knowledge articles.
Thanks for reading and please enjoy the site.
