Multiple control unit - Would you like to be able to conveniently regulate and control sensors and actuators in your smart home from a central location? Very easily. With multiple operating devices from the eibabo® online shop, you are opting for the best quality and high-quality workmanship. Typically, an individual assignment of different functions is possible. The eibabo® shop stands for excellent value for money.What is a multiple operator panel?Multiple operating devices are items, mostly KNX push-button sensors, which are equipped with special functions. These are, for example, infrared interfaces or room temperature controllers to implement extensive detailed circuits. TIP:The installation on the wall takes place at approx. 1.60 m upper edge of the finished floor. This simplifies operation and integrated sensors (e.g. for the room temperature) deliver optimal measurement results. Multiple operating devices often have rocker switches to which you can assign different function inputs at the same time, for example switching the light and adjusting the room temperature. You will also find specific special devices in this eibabo® catalogue. These can be special KNX displays or KNX touch operating devices with special additional functions.Which functions can I map with a multiple operator panel?Depending on the manufacturer, multiple operating devices differ in terms of design, quality, user guidance and scope of the application (software). While simple devices only have the classic basic functions, complex models resemble real 'control centers' for the visualization and operation of various building automation systems. A little overview:When used as a KNX room operating device, the focus is on switching, pressing, dimming as well as controlling blinds and roller shutters. In addition, there is the temperature measurement and temperature control, optionally with different operating modes, switching times or protective circuits against frost and heat. In addition, the control of air conditioning and ventilation systems may be possible. Background lighting, status displays and displays for the date, time and temperature make operation easy. But such a multiple operating device can do even more. TIP:We recommend good advance planning so that you can later accommodate all the functions you need in your multiple control panel. As a security station, for example, you can open and close doors or use the intercom function. Cameras can also be switched if a screen is integrated or connected. You can also implement the operation of the alarm system or in-house communication (internal call, storey call). If required, you can also use such a device as a client for external SIP systems (VoIP communication). With the integration of Internet services, you are able to call up weather data and weather forecasts, web radio and streaming services.Are the multiple operator panels with touch displays better than the simple models with buttons?All models have their advantages and disadvantages. There is basically no better or worse. Much more important is whether a device is suitable for the intended use or not. The range of functions and the operation of the functions play a decisive role. If you would like to operate two to three basic functions, a device designed for this purpose with two to six buttons is sufficient. You assign the respective function to them via Engineering Tool Software (ETS) or proprietary software. If you want to keep the option open for additional functions, a device with a display would be recommended. Depending on the model, you often have the option of providing each button with additional functions. You can trigger this, for example, with a long press, double-click or triple-click. In this way, you can later assign additional keys or expand the range of functions of the device. A display provides an overview. As a communication center for an entire building, we recommend a solution with a touch display. This allows you to organize dozens of parameters clearly using a menu structure.The advantages and disadvantages of multiple operating devicesThe biggest advantage is the central regulation and control of a large number of actions. In addition, you can react comfortably and flexibly to changes and expansions. The architecture of the electrical installation must be well thought out beforehand, especially in the case of a new building or a building renovation. In this way you can later use all desired functions optimally. The disadvantage lies in the higher acquisition costs of such a system compared to individual, conventional devices. With units without a display, with many keys and multiple key assignments, it is easy to lose track.Do all multiple operating devices have an integrated bus connection?Multiple operating devices are designed as part of an automated building structure and usually have an integrated bus connection. This can be recognized by the red and black or red and gray Bus Terminal. Some devices are not equipped with a bus coupler and are plugged onto a separate flush-mounted bus coupler, for example.How are multiple operator panels attached?If you look at the back of the various multiple operator panels, you will notice that they can look different. Many models are designed for installation in one or more switch boxes, whereby the actual attachment can be individual. Please pay attention to a suitable system for you. Devices with a plastic ring and clamps (on the left in the picture) only offer a secure hold if the ring lies firmly and flush against the wall. Small bumps in the plaster or a switch box that protrudes a little too far are not compensated for. This can cause the device to wobble. Screw other devices directly into the switch box. This connection is more stable (middle picture). For some flush-mounted devices, you should use a deep switch box to have more space for connecting the cables (picture on the right).Image: Multiple operating devices mounting typesVariants without their own KNX connection are usually connected to a bus coupler permanently installed in the switch box. These are also securely fastened. If you are planning to install it in a place that is accessible to strangers, we recommend a model with dismantling protection.How do I change the button assignment on multiple operator panels?Normally, the assignment of the key functions can be freely parameterized in the case of multiple operator panels. This is typically done with ETS, the Engineering Tool Software. This is a tool that you need to commission the KNX devices. You can obtain the software from www.knx.org. The ETS is used to parameterize your system and is generally suitable for laypersons who are interested in the logic of the KNX. No programming knowledge is required to make changes to the key assignment. An understanding of simple logical connections is sufficient. We recommend having an experienced system integrator perform the initial setup and have them explain how the setup works. This way you will later be able to change small things yourself.Which multiple operator panel should I buy?That decision is up to you, but maybe we can help. There are numerous versions of KNX multiple operating devices. Manufacturers offer solutions that suit every taste or style of living. But don't let the looks alone guide you. We generally recommend studying the applications (parameters and functions) provided by the manufacturer for the commissioning software (ETS). This ensures that you are able to control the necessary actions via touch sensors or the display. Plan exactly which requirements you place on the multiple control device and decide on a suitable model at top conditions from our shop. TIP:Depending on the model, it is possible to set status LEDs depending on the ambient brightness. In a darkening room, the status LEDs automatically dim and do not disturb at night. In addition to the technical performance, the optics also play a role. Rely on shapes, colors and materials that have a positive effect in the long term. Think about whether you'll enjoy brightly colored displays or LEDs over the long term, or whether it should be more subtle. If possible, opt for dimmable displays or LEDs that can be switched off.High gloss or matteGlass or painted surfaces are beautiful to look at. Note that dirt and fingerprints are quickly visible. Shiny surfaces need to be cleaned more often than matt or rough surfaces.Timeless surface designs made of metal or glass are simple, elegant and look classy. But even with plastic housings, you don't have to make any compromises in terms of design. Many manufacturers offer buttons in acrylic or in a brushed or satined metal look.Which manufacturer of multiple operator panels is recommended?At the eibabo® technology store, we stock high-quality multiple control devices from numerous well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Busch Jaeger, Gira, Hager, Jung, MDT, Merten, Metz, Peha, Thermokon, Warema and Zumtobel.

Cable ties - Do you want to hold lines, cables or other everyday things together, lash them down, fix them, connect them to each other - temporarily or for life? Cable ties are often a quick and very inexpensive solution. The selection of inexpensive and stable cable ties at eibabo® is huge. Here you can find out something about the history, areas of application and the properties of individual materials.Cable ties can be used universally and have become indispensable in our daily lives. These are handy, inexpensive and above all very versatile. Cable ties are used in the office, at home, on the go, when camping, as well as in trade and industry. But where does this useful everyday helper actually come from?The history of the cable tieCable ties originated in the United States of America. A cable tie was first patented there in the 1950s and was originally intended for fastening telephone cables.Already knew?The cable tie was born on October 1, 1954. On this day, the American George M. Rapata filed the corresponding patent in his name. This makes him the inventor of the cable tie.The first models were still made of metal. The further development and the commercial establishment of this idea is attributed to a Mr. Maurus S. Logan from the company Thomas & Betts. With the beginning of the industrial processing of plastics, this electrical company was able to produce the 'Ty-Rap'. The idea for the 'Ty-Rap' came to Logan in 1956 while visiting a Boeing airplane factory. At that time, the electrical wiring of the aircraft was still very complicated. Miles of wires were laid on long sheets of plywood and tied in place with waxed braided nylon cord. In view of this enormously lengthy manual work, Logan was convinced that there had to be a simple, durable and above all faster alternative. Over the next few years, Logan experimented with different tools and materials. On June 24, 1958, the 'Ty-Rap' cable tie was patented and marketed. In the decades that followed, the cable tie established itself more and more as a general means of attachment and thus found its way into almost all areas of everyday life.Flexible usageThe principle of the cable tie as a self-locking loop is even used in surgery. In this way, doctors fix broken bones or tie off vessels.Today there is hardly a household without cable ties. Whether for bundling power cables, fixing plants or as creative handicraft material - the possible uses are almost unlimited.Are there reusable cable ties?Cable ties are very inexpensive. The excess end is usually cut off after installation. This is why cable ties are usually disposable. However, there are some models that are reused.What types of cable ties are there?Cable ties differ in appearance and material. This results in different characteristics in terms of possible uses and durability. Among others, the following cable ties are widely used:Disposable cable ties:This is the classic cable tie. One end is pushed through the ratchet on the other end. This connection cannot be loosened again. To release the binding, the cable tie must be cut. Instead of a ratchet, there are also other self-locking systems, for example a clamping ball on metal cable ties.Bead Cable Ties:The design resembles a pearl necklace. The beads are threaded through a hole/two holes at the other end of the cable tie and hook into a taper of the respective hole. This holding connection is not as secure as with other models. A bead cable tie can be used again and again for this. This type of cable tie also comes in other designs, such as a herringbone or ladder shape.Multiple Cable Ties:Reusable cable ties have either a locking release feature (push button, rocker release, clip style) or a removable ratchet.Cable ties with marking:These models have flags or solid areas for written or printed identificationDouble loop cable ties:Here the ratchet sits in the middle and both ends can be pulled through the middle to form a loop.What special shapes are there for cable ties?In addition to the different types, there are also some special forms that are optimized for specific areas of application. Some cable ties have an eyelet or a fastening hole on the ratchet and can be attached to the ground with a screw. Other variants are supplied with a dowel including an impact pin. This means that electrical cables can only be laid on wood, brick and concrete surfaces using cable ties. Screws are no longer used. Cable ties with clamp anchors work in a similar way. This anchor is pushed through a hole in a metal surface and latches at the back. To fix a cable tie on a smooth surface, special pads with a self-adhesive layer are available. These can (additionally) also be fastened with a screw.What are cable ties made of?Cable ties are made of different materials. Which material you should use depends on the place of use and the desired durability. Cable ties are most commonly made from flexible nylon. At least 2% carbon black is added to nylon to increase resistance to UV light in outdoor applications. This protects the polymer chains and extends the life of the cable tie. In the food industry, cable ties contain a metal additive so that they can be detected by industrial metal detectors. ETFE (ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer) cable ties are used in radiation hazardous environments. Stainless steel cable ties are available for explosion proof applications. Coated stainless steel cable ties prevent corrosion between dissimilar metals.Image: Cable ties from various manufacturersWhat affects the durability of a cable tie?Nothing is forever. Cable ties are also subject to a certain amount of wear or age over time. Then the moment has come to replace a cable tie. The following circumstances affect the durability of the cable ties:Temperature: At temperatures above 85 degrees, nylon loses its elasticity and strength. When cold, it becomes brittle and breaks.Humidity: If the air humidity is permanently high, the cable ties absorb moisture and the strength decreases.Material thickness: A larger material cross-section increases the service life.Vibration: Microcracks form due to constant vibrations, which lead to the destruction of the product.Radiation: Sunbeams and other radiations also affect the strength of the plastic structure.Mechanical stress: Twisting, pulling or abrasion lead to premature closure of the materialChemicals: Decomposing substances of all kinds and their vapors reduce durability. What do I need a cable tie tensioner for?A cable tie tensioner can be used to apply a cable tie with some tension. The tool trims the excess end flush. This will avoid a sharp edge that could otherwise cause injury. If you want to process a large number of cable ties, the tensioner offers the following advantages:convenient and fast workprovides the necessary tensionthe force regulator guarantees a uniform attachmentgrab and pull with one handSave time by automatically cutting the end piece Do the material colors have a specific meaning?In addition to a large variety of materials, we offer you natural-colored and black cable ties as well as various other material colors. The bright colors in particular are used for easy visual recognition in dark environments. The use of a specific color for a corresponding application is not prescribed. TIP:Tie together matching cables with cable ties of the same color. This makes sorting, separation or recognition within cable harnesses or in other rooms easier. At eibabo® you will find cable ties according to your wishes. Choose from classic models or designs that have been specially developed for a specific application. Well-known manufacturers are 3M, ABB, Fischer, OBO, Lapp, Rittal, Hama, Phoenix, Schneider Electric and around a dozen others.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Fasteners > Cable tie you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Ball lock cable tieBinderBolt headBundeswehr cable tiesCable fixerCable retention strapsCable strapsCable tie spoolChristmas treeDouble head tieFastening clampFastening systemFlat profile beltIdentification binderLamella footLamella foot binderMetal clampMounting tieOpening cable tiePlasticPlastic cable tiesPlug-in cable tiesStainless steel binderStainless steel cable strapSteel nose cable tiesTape materialTriple tapeVelcro strapfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Cable ties:3MABBCellpackCimcoDeviFischer DEHamaHellermann TytonLappLegrand BticinoLegrand CablofilOBOPanduitPhoenixRittalSchneider ElectricTehalitWeidmüller
Switch cabinet empty - You still don't know which control cabinet to buy? You are not sure about the choice of size, materials and equipment? You will find the right control cabinet for your needs in this eibabo® catalogue. The control cabinet is the heart of an electrical installation. This is where all wires 'literally' come together.What is a switch cabinet?The control cabinet is a protected storage place for electrical devices and switchgear. This serves to ensure the safety of the devices and the people who work with them. A control cabinet contains, among other things, circuit breakers, fuses, relays, measuring devices and control devices. In addition, electricity meters, multimedia connections or power supplies can be installed in them. Control cabinets are usually differentiated according to design, size and function. The area of application of a control cabinet is often determined by its IP protection class (ingress protection). This indicates how well a control cabinet is protected against foreign objects and moisture. Most control cabinets are made of metal or plastic. Metal control cabinets are the best choice when it comes to security. Plastic cabinets are less robust and more likely to be damaged in the event of a fire. These are preferably used as terminal housings / terminal boxes for sub-distributions.What are the differences between the individual control cabinets?Control cabinets differ primarily in their design and location. Floor-standing control cabinets are designed for installation on the floor. They have a high load capacity and are ideal for heavy installations. Most floor-standing control cabinets have a double floor to ensure optimal ventilation. Wall switch cabinets are mounted on the wall or recessed from the floor to the middle between 1.10 m and 1.85 m. You will often find add-on control cabinets in server rooms. These are designed to be mounted side by side. Cabinets within a row do not have side panels. This saves space and simplifies installation across multiple cabinets. Their structure ensures optimal cooling of the installed devices. TIP:You can have special control cabinets for complex requirements made individually with additional cut-outs, bores, ventilation or viewing windows. Terminal boxes are usually smaller than control cabinets. Depending on the place of use, they are used to accommodate cables or lines and are particularly space-saving. Outdoor control cabinets are specially designed for outdoor use and are particularly resistant to the effects of the weather. These are often used in industrial plants or on construction sites. Corrosive environmental conditions can prevail in the pharmaceutical and food industries. You should therefore choose particularly robust materials such as stainless steel for such locations. These are especially suitable for use under difficult conditions.What is the function of a control cabinet?A control cabinet protects the electrical and electronic equipment inside. Dust and water should be kept away. In addition, sufficient cooling of the installation should be ensured to prevent overheating. The control cabinet itself must also be designed in such a way that it protects against external influences such as vandalism. A control cabinet usually has a modular structure. An individual subdivision into power ranges and control ranges is ensured by mounting rails and mounting plates. In addition to a flexible structure, these also enable simple maintenance and repairs. The components must be arranged within the control cabinet in such a way that no electromagnetic or mechanical influences occur.Image: Schneider Electric NSYS3D6425 control cabinetA control cabinet shields the installation from electromagnetic emissions from its environment. Control cabinets are usually closed so that nobody can accidentally come into contact with the installations. In addition, a control cabinet is used for fire protection inside and outside. Controlling the current flow is also an important task of a control cabinet. It may be necessary to regulate or switch off the flow of electricity in certain areas of the network, for example when a device needs to be repaired or replaced. This ensures that just the right amount of current is flowing and that there is no danger to equipment or people.Is the temperature in my control cabinet correct?The temperature in the control cabinet is an important factor for the function of the components installed in it. However, it is not only the temperature itself that is important, but its constancy. Extreme fluctuations damage the electronic components. In general, one speaks of an optimal average temperature of 25°C. If there are larger fluctuations, condensate can form. This may impair the function of the installed devices. Thus, the average temperature is not a reliable guide. You should make sure that the temperature remains as constant as possible. If this is slightly higher than the room temperature, this usually does not damage the installation. On the contrary: the evaporation of moisture is promoted. Most of the components in the control cabinet are designed for an operating temperature of up to 50°C. In order not to impair the service life, a temperature of more than 35°C should not be exceeded permanently.What should you consider when choosing a control cabinet?Choosing the right control cabinet depends on numerous factors. Control cabinets are available in a variety of sizes, designs and price ranges and can be used for different purposes. Ask yourself the following questions:In which environment will the control cabinet be installed? This affects the material and the IP protection class.Is it a private system or a complex installation? The size of the closet depends on that.What meters and devices will be installed and how many?Will the cabinet be installed in a public or semi-public area? Then it should be lockable.Who should be granted access to the control cabinet?Is an alarm system necessary?Should the operating conditions be monitored (temperature, humidity)?Is air conditioning necessary?Is a smoke detector or extinguishing system necessary?and much more NoticeControl cabinets are not indestructible and can be damaged by vandalism, improper handling or extremely high temperatures. Therefore, when buying, you should pay attention to its suitability for the intended purpose.The control cabinets from the eibabo® shop are robust and durable. In this catalog you will find numerous variants of the best quality.

In addition to the switch cabinet itself, there may be other switch boxes or sub-distributors, depending on the complexity of the system. Empty and unequipped, the housings are made of metal or plastic. Depending on their size and equipment, these have bases for accommodating terminal strips or devices for mounting rail systems. In any case, you buy cheaply from eibabo® and receive your delivery in the shortest possible time.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Cabinet enclosures > Enclosure/switchgear cabinet (empty) you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Add-on cabinetAdd-on distributorBusbar systemCloset systemClosetsControl boxCorner cabinetCounter fieldElectrical enclosureElectronics housingEmpty plastic caseFood safeHousing solutionsHousing systemsHygienic housingIndoor housingIndustrial housingLarge closetLow-voltage distributorMetal frameworkOutdoor cabinetOutdoor heatingPlasticPlastic cabinetPlastic casePolycarbonateSingle cabinetSmall casefrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Switch cabinet empty:ABNAssmannBoplaDeviEatonEldonEnocHagerHeitecnVent ThermalPhoenixRittalSchneider ElectricSiemensSpelsbergTelevesTriaxVertivWeidmüller
Surge protector - measur./control - Modern sensors, measuring devices and probes monitor and control complex and interdependent processes. Protect these operations from power surge failures. We will introduce you to different MSR surge arresters and support you in your purchase decision.   Automated processes intervene deeply in a building management system or in production processes. As a result, a very high degree of availability of the determined and transmitted measurement data and control signals is required. Surge protection devices make a significant contribution to safeguarding the function of this technology in the event of voltage peaks of all kinds. Depending on the risk potential and the level of protection required, select the surge protection devices that are right for you and combine them with other protective circuits if necessary. Image: Dehn DPA-M-CLE-RJ45B-48 surge arrester What are MSR surge arresters? MSR stands for measurement technology, control technology and regulation technology. MSR technology is used in particular within modern bus systems and telecommunications systems. Private and industrial areas of application are: air conditioning and refrigeration systems heating systems and ventilation systems the field of water technology and waste water technology the electronics sector and smart home   The MSR overvoltage protection devices are used in electrical engineering to limit and divert overvoltages in electrical lines. Particularly sensitive measuring devices and control devices can be damaged by overvoltages, incorrect measurement data can be determined and incorrect control signals can be sent. But how does the overvoltage come about? Lightning strikes, short circuits, electrostatic discharges or switching operations by the network operator generate mains voltages which are well above the normal value of 230V in Germany. The consequences of such an event depend on the level and duration of the overvoltage and the speed of the voltage pulse.   The MSR surge arresters (Surge Protective Devices SPD) are usually installed directly in front of the signal inputs of the measuring devices and control devices to be protected. In the context of a three-stage overvoltage protection, these represent the so-called fine protection (type 3). What is measurement technology, control technology and regulation technology? MSR technology records a wide variety of situations and states within automated processes. Depending on the type and area of application, individual parameters are determined using different measurement methods. Typical measured variables are temperature, pressure, speed, humidity or chemical composition. These measured variables are converted into electrical signals such as current, voltage or resistance and serve as the basis for triggering logical actions. How is an MSR surge protection constructed? A general overvoltage protection is usually structured in three stages and is part of the internal lightning protection of a building. There are different requirement classes for overvoltage protection devices. We distinguish between type 1 (rough protection), type 2 (medium protection) or type 3 (fine protection). When selecting suitable protective devices, the type of possible fault and the type of device to be protected are considered. This results in a combination of different surge arresters adapted to the respective needs, which together ensure coarse, medium and fine protection.   Type 1 coarse protection devices are used to divert high lightning currents. These reduce the residual voltage of an overvoltage to a level between 6000 volts and 1300 volts. Type 1 devices are usually switched before the house installation. This means that the high lightning current cannot even reach the house distribution system.   Type 2 devices provide medium protection. They reduce the residual lightning voltage to values between 2000 volts and 600 volts. They are installed, for example, in the sub-distributors of individual apartments or parts of buildings. Medium protection devices also limit dangerous transient overvoltages. These are caused by the switching of transformers, circuit breakers, motors or inductive loads. Already knew? Surge arresters are not disposable fuses. The devices can ensure reliable protection over a long period of time and do not need to be replaced after they have been triggered.   The Type 3 overvoltage protection further reduces the remaining overvoltage. These devices provide fine protection and protect against voltages up to a level of 1000 volts AC or 1500 volts DC. The MSR surge arresters available in this eibabo® catalog belong to this category. Are MSR Surge Arresters Really Necessary? Whether special protective measures against overvoltage are required for your MSR devices must be considered individually for each installation. Estimate the risk objectively, taking into account the probability of overvoltages and overcurrents. Base this assessment on all existing parts of your protective measures against overvoltages. Include the risk of electromagnetic phenomena such as lightning discharges or earth potential rises in your considerations. Ultimately, you should achieve reliable protection for your entire system. Please consider the organizational and financial consequences that the failure of important measurement and control devices would have for your operational processes. When should I choose an MSR surge arrester? Power connections and data lines are an integral part of our everyday lives. Stable signal transmissions are essential for smooth business operations, and not just in industrial or commercial environments. Our high-tech lifestyle also demands reliable connectivity. If you recognize yourself in any of the following questions and answers, then MSR surge arresters are for you.   Do you value security? Security devices such as alarm systems, door intercom systems, access controls and emergency call devices only offer complete protection if the power supply, the monitoring sensors and the data lines work permanently. MSR surge arresters protect those systems that ensure your protection.   You don't want to do without the amenities of modern living comfort? A lot of planning, work and money goes into modern smart home installations. The automatic control of temperatures, shutters or multimedia applications enable a comfortable living environment. With MSR surge arresters, this convenience is maintained even in the event of an overvoltage.   TIP:Investing in reliable surge protection is usually less expensive than replacing, repairing, and installing new equipment.   Would you like to secure your independence? The production of your own electricity is becoming more important every year. Modern and environmentally friendly mobility solutions and heating systems rely on electricity from your own photovoltaic system. The efficient use and storage of electricity requires complex control devices. With an MSR surge arrester, you can protect this expensive technology from surge damage. You retain your independence from energy suppliers.   Do you want to protect investments and preserve property? Real estate is an investment and provision in one. The technical equipment of a building has a significant influence on its value. By using MSR surge arresters, you not only get the building services, but also your old-age provision.   In our catalog you will always find the right surge arrester tailored to your requirements for your individual device variants. You get the best quality at low prices.

Logic module - What is a KNX logic module and what options does the device offer when linking simple and highly complex functions? Why do we recommend logic modules as a useful addition to any KNX system? Find out here.KNX is the standard protocol for smart home and building automation. A system equipped with KNX technology enables you to control all connected devices in your household via a touch panel or remotely. The KNX technology is used not only in private homes or shops, but also in industrial buildings, hospitals, schools, high-rise buildings, universities, yachts and ferries and other facilities. The KNX automation system in residential or industrial buildings connects a large number of devices within the same facility. This allows information to be exchanged very quickly and maximizes efficiency in the workplace. There are hardly any limits to the size of a system and its complexity. KNX can be connected to different systems like BACnet, LON, LCN, RS485, LoRa, NB-IOT, Zigbee and others. This creates almost unlimited possibilities. Changes and extensions are possible at any time, quickly and inexpensively. The KNX automation makes our life more comfortable because it is:flexible - Almost all functions in the house can be controlled via KNX. Numerous brand manufacturers offer a wide variety of compatible devices.User-friendly - All electrical devices are easy to control. All control modules can be operated manually.safe and secure - the KNX system is not based on 230V, but on harmless 24-30 V. With the KNX Secure function, the system is particularly secure. With the KNX technology, the house, property and outbuildings can be controlled and monitored automatically. The use of additional control centers is not necessary. The KNX system fulfills a large number of functions, for example lighting, air conditioning and security systems. Work steps and daily routines are accelerated and the energy in our living space is used more efficiently. Easy installation:As series installation devices, logic modules are quickly clamped onto the DIN rail. The KNX connection is made using a special terminal. In order to create a perfect setup, numerous primary and secondary components can and must work together in a system. This includes KNX logic modules. These are always used when the installed KNX devices lack the necessary logic functions for specific tasks or higher-level central control and regulation tasks are required. As a modular installation device with a width of 1 to 2 modular widths, logic modules and scene modules/event modules also fit into small installations. An additional power supply is not necessary. The device draws its energy from the KNX system.What are KNX logic modules used for?KNX logic modules are a very useful and important addition to any KNX system. This means that additional functions can be reliably mapped. With the help of KNX logic modules, you can define a wide variety of dependencies and logically link group addresses. It is possible to implement simple and highly complex functions, from the alarm system to meter monitoring. You always remain decentralized and independent of central server components.Image: MDT SCN-LOG1.02 logic moduleKNX logic modules offer linking functions with:all common logic gates, filter functions, time functionsTime modules with comparison function and run-on timeconverters and multiplex modulesdelay blockslight scene modulesMonitoring functions of bus participantscomplex specific blind controlshour counterstemperature switches or temperature modulesConverters for converting telegramsSequencer modules for generating multiple telegramsand many more TIPEven if a KNX server/visualization is used, we recommend a KNX logic module for failure monitoring or for relevant functions that must be ensured in the event of a KNX server failure.You are still not sure what practical use logic modules have? We will show you with a very simple example:Suppose you have a small pond with a fountain on the patio of your house. Now you want the fountain to be running when you are home in the evening. The easiest would be to turn it on and off manually. No automation is used here. Using a timer is a bit more convenient. This means that the fountain runs in the evening after work, for example from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. However, this is not yet intelligently automated. If the fountain's power supply is connected to the KNX bus, you could set the switch-on time in the evening and let the fountain run until sunset. But what if you sit longer on your terrace at the weekend and don't want the fountain to switch off when the sun goes down. This is where the logic module comes into play. In addition to timing and sun control, you can now command the fountain to keep running as long as the patio lights are on.How are KNX logic modules programmed?The KNX logic module is usually parameterized via the ETS (Engineering Tool Software). Complex KNX logic modules are processed using a simple graphic editor, which also enables laypersons to easily program and commission them. These logic modules often require free additional software/plug-in provided by the manufacturer.Are there different KNX logic modules?eibabo® has a large portfolio of KNX modules that are designed for a wide variety of tasks. These include KNX logic modules, KNX logic building blocks, KNX security modules, KNX application building blocks, KNX time building blocks, KNX logic controls, KNX link building blocks, KNX monitoring building blocks, KNX function modules, KNX scenes/event building blocks, KNX visualization servers and KNX logic controllers.

Installation small distributor - Do you need one or more small installation distributors at top conditions for the production of your electrical installation? The eibabo technology store offers the right machine housing for every requirement. Choose from numerous models in different sizes and for every type of installation. TIP:Calculate reserves, at least 25% additional space required. Size the distributor slightly larger. You never know if and when you might want to make more installs. If there is later a need for expansion, additional slots and mounting locations for fuses, sockets or measuring devices are required.What are installation small distributors?A small installation distribution board is also referred to as a machine housing, power box or fuse box. There are power distributors in almost every electrified house these days. Depending on how complex a system is, there can be various sub-distributors or group distributors in addition to a main control cabinet. The safety devices, switching devices or measuring devices for a specific section of the installation are then located in these distribution boxes.What is the function of a small installation distribution board?A complex electrical installation must be divided into individual sections. These are individually insured. This avoids faults and short circuits affecting the entire system. Such a section can be, for example, an apartment. The small installation distribution board contains switches, automatic circuit breakers and other devices with which the electrical current is distributed and secured in the respective section. From here, the lines lead to other sub-distributors (e.g. circuit junction boxes) or directly to consumers such as sockets or lamps. Devices with high power consumption, such as electric stoves, have a separate fuse in the sub-distribution board for safety reasons. The importance of an individual distributor depends on the size of the overall system. In larger houses with multiple entrances and residential units, sub-distributors may be required for each entrance, then for each floor and then for each individual apartment.Already knew?A main distribution is the first distribution after the transformer station. From here, the energy is distributed to commercial buildings, residential buildings and other consumers.Thus everything after the main distribution is a sub-distribution, field distribution or group distribution. Please refer to the product descriptions for the specifications for using the small distributors (for example: maximum rated current, number of modular units).Why do I need a small installation distributor?Electrical systems within a building are based on a primary sub-distribution. How useful a further sub-distribution is depends on the complexity of the system. Each installation small distributor thus serves as a node for a specific section. This results in the following advantages:Overview and control of the subsequent installationFrom this point it is easy to determine individual rooms. Possible errors and defects can be localized quickly. In addition, individual devices such as electric stoves or heating controls can be precisely assigned. Ensuring short cable routes to the end user or to the next fuseShort distances mean less voltage losses and line losses. Installation costs are lower. Maintenance work and repairs do not take that much time. Possibility of individually securing or switching off an areaThe installation after the distributor is secured separately. In the event of a problem or damage, only this area is affected without affecting the entire system. Picture: Hensel Mi 1444 machine housing 48TEIs the structure of a small installation distribution board standardized?A small installation distributor is a component of the electrical installation and is subject to certain regulations and standards. In Germany, these are regulated in the DIN standard 43880. The size of a junction box can be freely selected to a certain extent and is determined by your needs. The internal structure is determined by the DIN rails on which circuit breakers, circuit breakers, sockets and other devices are mounted. The top-hat rails must be at least 150 mm apart in height. This distance may be increased in increments of 25mm if required by the installation. The DIN rail, also known as the mounting rail, is divided into 12 modules. A pitch unit is indicated in the descriptions with 'TE' and is 18 mm wide as standard. This allows the capacity of an installation small distribution board to be clearly described. TIP:The external dimensions of a distributor vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. These say nothing about how many devices you can install. The capacity of a distributor is specified in division units. An example: If the description says 48TE 4x12x18mm IP54, you know that this distributor has 4 DIN rails. Each rail comprises 12 pitch units of 18 mm. The sum of the devices that you can install is 48 TE. The manufacturers follow this grid dimension and offer their modular installation devices in 1 HP, 2 HP, 3 HP and so on. The specification IP54 refers to the degree of protection. This describes how well the distributor is protected against the ingress of water or other foreign bodies from the outside. The first digit stands for foreign bodies and touch, the second digit for water. In the example given, the '5' means protection against dust and larger particles, the '4' means protection against splash water.Which devices may be installed in a small installation distribution board?The lines of the individual circuits come together in the small distributor. Here you can find the following built-in devices:Miniature circuit breakers and RCDs/residual current circuit breakers and other switchesAutomatic circuit breakers and fusesrelays and contactorstransformersStaircase light machinestimersindicator lightsSchuko socketsterminal blockstransducerOvervoltage protectionprogrammable logic controllersautomation componentsIn addition, a combined installation with the electricity meter is possible. Where and how can small distribution boards be installed?A suitable installation location must be selected depending on the function performed by the distributor. The installation can be flush-mounted or surface-mounted. Flush-mounted distributors, for example, are the first choice for masonry. Surface mounting makes sense on concrete walls. A place in the house connection room should be provided for a main sub-distribution. There are usually other media such as gas and water. For additional sub-distributions on the floors or in the apartments, observe the following installation criteria:Choose a suitable place with average room temperature.Avoid high humidity and strong temperature fluctuations.Install the small distribution board at a comfortable height. The distance from the floor to the center of the distributor should be at least 1.10 m and maximum 1.85 m.Ensure there is sufficient light and freedom of movement in and around the small distribution board.Make sure that the distributor is always easily accessible. This facilitates access to the installation if necessary.   Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Distribution boards > Small distribution board you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Arrester housingAutomatic installation unitBusbar systemCable holderClick technologyCombination distributorConfiguratorConnection housingDistribution cabinetEmpty CaseEmpty closetInstallation small distribution boardInsulating distributorMedia distributorMicroperforatedMistral spreaderMultimedia distributorPolycarbonatePower distributionProject delivery formRenovationSealableSingle housingSmall surface-mounted distributorSpace unitsSub-distributionTelecom fieldWall boxfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Installation small distributor:ABNAcomeDehnEatonGSABHagerHenselHomewayLegrand BticinoNiedaxOBORittalSchneider ElectricSiemensSpelsbergStriebel & JohnTehalitTelevesWaltherWeidmüller
Room temperature controller - When building a new house or renovating, you have numerous interesting options for organizing the control of the room temperature. We will tell you how you can use various bus systems such as KNX, radio or LCN in addition to the conventional temperature setting. Automation not only increases living comfort, but also contributes to the value of your building. This enables you to make necessary adjustments or changes even when you are not at home. This eibabo® catalog provides room temperature controllers for all common applications.What are KNX room temperature controllers?KNX room temperature controllers are part of a building's heating system. These are used for individual room temperature control of interior rooms and have various measuring ranges. The respective devices can differ significantly in terms of application and the functions provided for operation and comfort. For example, the differences are whether static heating surfaces or underfloor heating are to be controlled or whether air conditioning and ventilation functions are to be provided.Do not confuseThermostats are also known as room temperature controllers. Installed on radiators, however, they measure the temperature at the heating and usually only differentiate between on and off.KNX room temperature controllers, on the other hand, continuously control between 0 and 100 percent and use a heating actuator to communicate with the heating actuators.How is the room temperature controlled using KNX?A KNX room temperature controller determines the control difference between the target temperature and the actual temperature. The calculated control difference is sent as a 1-byte command value telegram (a value between 0 and 100 percent) via the KNX bus to the corresponding channel of a heating actuator. This processes the signal and then controls the actuator.The following small example illustrates the rough functionality. The actual manufacturer specific control algorithm may be different:The room temperature controller determines a current temperature of 18 degrees Celsius (controlled variable). However, the desired room temperature should be 22 degrees Celsius. The 22 degrees Celsius then represents the setpoint for the controlled variable. The resulting difference between the actual value and the setpoint is the control deviation. The control difference is 4 degrees Celsius and is used to determine the control variable that is to be used to influence the room temperature. Assuming the manipulated variable is 25%. This value is transmitted as a 1-byte telegram (0-255 = 0-100%) from the room temperature controller to the heating actuator. In this case 63.75. For example, the actuator takes 2 minutes to fully open. The time required for the respective actuator to open or close can be found in the data sheet for the thermoelectric actuator. This information must have been previously stored in the parameters of the actuator using Engineering Tool Software (ETS). With a command value specification of 25%, the actuator would switch on the actuator for 30 seconds (this corresponds to 25% of 2 minutes) and switch it off for 90 seconds. The actuator then switches on again for 30 seconds and so on. If the room temperature controller calculates and transmits a different command value specification, the switching cycle for the actuator also changes.Image: Gira 210003 KNX continuous controllerWhat is the difference between KNX continuous controllers, KNX object controllers and KNX room temperature controllers?The selection of KNX temperature controllers is very large. eibabo® offers products from all leading manufacturers of control technology for HVAC (heating, air conditioning, ventilation) in smart home automation. These include ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, Elsner Elektronik, Eltako, EIBMARKT, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens, Theben and Thermokon. Many of these manufacturers use different designations, such as KNX continuous controller, KNX object controller or KNX room temperature controller.KNX room temperature controllers continuously record temperature values and forward them to other system components as KNX signals that can be evaluated. This process takes place continuously. A KNX continuous controller is therefore the same as a KNX room temperature controller. The situation is different with a KNX object controller. Object controllers are room temperature controllers without direct adjustment options on the device for the setpoint temperature. Object controllers were developed for object use. In public objects, as a rule, direct adjustment by strangers should be prevented. The values are parameterised directly via the ETS (software). You can change these directly via KNX (KNX buttons, KNX operating panels, KNX visualisations) in the setpoints. KNX object controllers are often cheaper and suitable in private areas for corridors, basements or storage rooms.What do you have to consider when positioning a KNX room temperature controller?As a rule, the installation is carried out using a branch switch box with 4 screw bosses, one switch box deep. Alternatively, use an electronics box if a separate bus coupler is required. With our convenient search function, you can quickly find the right items here in the eibabo® technology store. TIP:There are multi-channel KNX room temperature controllers for installation in your electrical distribution. Here, the temperature is measured via separate KNX sensors, for example from KNX buttons or KNX motion detectors with an integrated temperature sensor. For optimal use of all functions and the best possible recording of the measurement data, please ensure that the installation height is 1.60 m from the top edge of the finished floor. In this way you ensure optimal control and user-friendly handling.How is a room temperature controller connected to the KNX bus?KNX room temperature controllers are equipped differently by the manufacturers. You can either buy the KNX room temperature controller including a bus coupler or you have to order the bus coupler separately. The required interface between the KNX bus and the KNX room temperature controller is called the bus coupler. You can tell whether your controller has a bus connection by the red and black bus terminal. The KNX controllers often offer included KNX binary inputs. These are used, for example, to integrate conventional buttons in the room to switch lights via KNX. These binary inputs usually correspond to the technical data of KNX push button interfaces and can therefore only be extended up to a maximum of 50cm.How important is the appearance of a KNX room temperature controller?There are controllers with or without a dial to adjust the temperature. Other models are operated via the display and menu controls. Everything is possible here. The controls should match your other switch range and reflect your modern, classic, simple or extravagant style of living. TIP:Don't just look at the exterior of a KNX room temperature controller, but also at its inner values. There are often considerable differences in the application developments (software) of the manufacturers. The possibilities that the respective software can offer you may be relevant to your project requirements. Think of:control behaviorInfluencing control processesOperating modes and external switching options or setpoint adjustment optionsstatus feedbacknumber of group addressesBehavior in the event of a bus voltage failureand much more What other properties should I consider before buying a KNX room temperature controller?In addition to the technical, optical and software properties mentioned, other factors can speak for or against a specific model.Do I need anti-theft or dismantling protection?What color or what material do I want for the control panel?Do the local conditions require wireless data transmission?Should it be regulated via a room controller?and some more What are room controllers with integrated KNX room temperature controller?An alternative to the KNX room temperature controllers presented here are the KNX room controllers, provided they have an integrated temperature controller. These are devices that you can use to centrally control lighting, temperature and blinds, for example. Such controllers can be used via individually assignable control panels for switching, dimming, regulating or controlling all required actuators and sensors. You can also get numerous high-quality KNX room controllers here in the shop at top conditions. Use our intelligent search for your research.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Room temperature controller for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Building system technologyBus technologyButton interfaceClock thermostatContinuous controllerControllersEnd stripsEnergy efficientHeating controlHeating technologyHome controlHumidityMoellerfunkMoisture meterMultifunction displayNetworkingObject controllerRadio systemRadio transmitterRemote room sensorRoom controllerRoom sensorRoom temperature controllerRoom thermostatTemperatureTemperature controllerThermostatWireless temperature sensorfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Room temperature controller:ABBAlre-itBerkerBusch JaegerEatonEberleElsnerElsoEltakoGiraHagerJungMDTMertenSiemensTheben
Electricity meters - Have you always wanted to know how much energy individual devices in your household consume? This catalog from the eibabo® shop offers you the right measuring instruments for this. Here you can get high-quality electricity meters and many other meters at top conditions. In our modern home we use numerous electrical devices. In addition to lamps, washing machines and refrigerators, media technology is a major energy consumer. Televisions, computers, chargers for smartphones and building automation are powered by electrical energy. Although some of these devices also help save electricity, it is interesting to know how much energy they actually use.What are electricity meters?Electricity meters are devices for displaying electricity consumption or energy consumption in electrical systems. AC induction meters are predominantly used in households, which directly display the consumed kilowatt hours. To find out how high your energy consumption is in a certain period of time, you need to take two measurements. Subtract the value of the second measurement from the value of the first measurement.Image: ABB B23 113-100 three-phase meter M-BusWhat types of electricity meters are there?There are two main types of electricity meters. These are used by the utility companies. On the one hand there are the electromechanical meters and on the other hand the so-called intelligent meters or smart meters. If you operate a solar system and feed electricity into the grid, you need a third type of meter, the bidirectional meter. These measure the current drawn and the current fed in. As a rule, you have little influence on the electricity meters that come from your energy supplier. These are installed where the power lines enter your building. This catalog is about electricity meters, which you can also install. This allows the consumption of a specific section of your installation or the consumption of an individual end device to be measured.How is an electromechanical meter constructed?Electromechanical induction meters are widely used and can be found in many homes. These contain an electrically conductive, non-magnetic, rotatable 'Ferraris disc'. The disk is driven by the interaction of magnetic fields generated by two electromagnets.Magnet 1 is powered by the current from the incoming power linesMagnet 2 is powered by the current demanded by the building's electrical circuits The rotation of the disk is slowed down by two permanent magnets, which exert a proportional opposing force. The aluminum disc drives a scrolling mechanism that displays kilowatt hours or fractions thereof.How does a smart meter work?Electronic electricity meters have been on the market for several years. The current standard for electronic electricity meters are digital electricity meters and so-called smart meters. These work in a similar way to electromechanical electricity meters. Instead of mechanical moving parts, they contain a battery and a communication chip. The chip sends meter readings wirelessly to a collection point. This happens several times a day depending on the time of day. The data is usually transmitted to the electricity supplier every quarter of an hour via power lines, mobile communications or high-frequency networks. Already knew?The chip is also known as an encoder or ERT device. This uses the same frequency as many cordless phones. However, the device is designed to avoid interference. The battery in the communication chip in digital electricity meters is designed for a service life of 15 to 20 years.What are the advantages of measuring with an electronic electricity meter?With an electronic electricity meter, you can not only determine how much energy you use, but also when. At first glance, this may be less important additional information. But knowing exactly when and how much electricity you are using can save you a lot of money. Electricity prices vary throughout the day. When demand is high, electricity costs more than when demand is low. Constantly rising energy costs are leading to deregulation of the electricity markets. In the future, utilities could offer electricity tariffs that bill for the electricity provided based on the time of use. This would be a significantly fairer billing method than the current variant, which is based on average costs.smart gridSmart grids are intelligent power networks that take generation, storage and consumption into account. This allows fluctuations in power in the network to be compensated. Networking and coordination is carried out using modern technologies and decentralized energy management systems.Smart meters can also be read remotely. Utility companies thus save operating costs and working time. Electronic electricity meters are therefore an essential part of the so-called smart grid. The devices help you to question your habits and save money if you use your electricity off-peak. Think of buying an electronic electricity meter as an investment in your future.How do I find the right electricity meter?Modern electricity meters can be used to display electricity consumption in real time. Especially in the KNX area, intelligent electricity meters offer many advantages. These support you with load management within your installation and with the monitoring of services and end devices. This saves you money and time because you can make adjustments according to your consumption profile. The use of data loggers or programmable logic controllers makes it easier to display, control, analyze and monitor the data. You can integrate models with a KNX interface directly into your building automation system using Engineering Tool Software (ETS). But which things are still important when buying?number of phasesWhen choosing an electricity meter, please consider how many phases are required. The most common models are single-phase or three-phase. If your current system that you are getting your data from is single phase, you will need a single phase electricity meter. If the electrical system is three-phase, use a three-phase electricity meter. As a rule, the devices can be mounted on a DIN rail. The measurement is carried out flexibly for various performance parameters such as:True RMS Voltage (Vrms)True RMS Current (Irms)Active power (kW)Active energy (kWh)Apparent Power (kVA)Apparent energy (kVAh)Reactive Power (kVAR)Reactive energy (kVARh)Power Factor (PF)frequency The devices can be used both on the primary side of the low voltage and on the secondary side of the medium voltage and high voltage.The ampPay attention to how many amps you need for the system. Commonly, smart electricity meters support 60 amps, 100 amps, and 200 amps. The right choice depends on your power system. Using a 100A electricity meter for a system that requires 200A would be impractical.Bus systems and networksIntelligent electricity meters communicate via various media and protocols. Please determine in advance which communication protocols will be used. Well-known fieldbus systems are AS-Interface, CAN, CANopen, M-Bus, EtherCAT and others.  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Meters > Kilowatt-hour meter you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Active consumption meterActive power meterAdditional roomBidirectional counterCable conversion converterCombination counterCombination meterConverter meterCurrent measuring adapterDIN railDIN rail counterDirect meterElectricity meterEnergy cost meterEnergy managementEnergy meterHeat pump systemsMeasuring accessoriesMeasuring technologyPower factorPower meter plugSingle phase meterSpare PartsTariff meterThree-phase meterTransducerTwo-tariff meterTwo-wire meterfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Electricity meters:ABBABNBachmannBergEatonEltakoEMU-ELEKTRONIKFinderFroniusGMC-I MesstechnikHagerHamaJanitzaLingg & JankeNZRSchneider ElectricSiemensStiebel Eltron
Ceiling-/wall luminaire - Looking for the perfect lamp? In this catalog you can expect a huge selection of different ceiling lights and wall lights at top conditions. You're sure to find what you're looking for here - whether you prefer modern LED technology or love the charming retro look.Wall lights and ceiling lights - atmospheric or functional lighting for living rooms and work areasIn almost all living areas, commercial spaces or offices, ceiling lights and wall lights provide the basic lighting. The position on the ceiling is ideal for distributing the light evenly throughout the room. This makes life more comfortable on dark days or allows you to work at night. But which lamp should you choose, since there is an almost endless choice? We would like to make your decision easier with a small guide.Which wall light or ceiling light is the right one?Before you decide for or against a specific model, you are sure to ask yourself many questions that narrow down the selection. Mostly it is about the appearance of the lamp. Since this selection criterion is very subjective, we do not want to go into more detail at this point. As a specialist for Smart Home and building automation, eibabo® is an online mail order business that focuses on technology. That is why we 'light' the topic here from this angle.In addition to the look, which criteria are still decisive in order to find the right wall light or ceiling light?The place of use: Where do you attach the light? Is the lamp exposed to special conditions (wet rooms, dusty workshop, living room)? Do you have to clean the lamp often?Usage: Do you use the light for many hours every day or only occasionally?The fixture: is the room high enough for a pendant light? What substrate is to be expected (concrete, steel beams, wood)?The light intensity: Are you planning the luminaire as the main lighting? Would you like to create a special mood?Color temperature and color rendering: the color of the light is often crucial. A work area with people requires a different light spectrum than lighting fruit or meat. Warm light is preferred for living rooms.The shape of the light cone: do you need the light to be concentrated (e.g. via spotlights) or should a large area be illuminated?The opportunity to change: Would you like a color change? Would you like to be able to change the direction of the beam angle? Is there a need for expansion later?The lighting technology: Do you prefer conventional light sources? Do these have to be interchangeable? What are the advantages and disadvantages of LEDs? How important is power consumption?Smart home integration: will the light become part of the building automation? What conditions are in place or need to be created? Wall lights and ceiling lights for offices and workplacesEfficient and fatigue-free work is also a question of the right light. Working on a computer or studying files over the course of a long workday can cause eyestrain. It is therefore important that the light can be adapted to changing conditions. Large-area light strips or grid lights are usually used for professional applications. Such lighting can be found, for example, in hotels and restaurants or conference rooms, in shops and other commercially used rooms.Already knew?The lighting of office workplaces is regulated in the European standard DIN EN 12464-1. It should serve the health and safety of people at their workplace and ensure optimal visual performance and the best possible visual comfort.In Germany, the Workplaces Ordinance and an occupational health and safety rule for lighting also apply. Other countries have their own regulations. It doesn't matter whether your workplace is in an open-plan office or whether you work from home most of the time. Good lighting increases the feel-good factor during working hours. In other words: The lighting must be suitable for all the tasks that arise in the office and must be selected accordingly. This includes working on the screen as well as writing and reading texts at the desk. TIP:Additional lighting is also required for screen work. The stark contrast between a bright screen and a dark room strains the eyes. When choosing the right lights for the workplace, pay attention to the following things:The illuminance at the workplace is given in lux (lumens per m²). Depending on the type of activity, 500 to 1,500 lux are recommended. The power of a lamp is usually stated on its packaging.The color temperature of light is given in Kelvin. A color temperature of 3,300 to 5,300 Kelvin is recommended for office workplaces. In the industrial sector, workshops and the like, it may be over 5,300 Kelvin. This light is similar to daylight, has a higher proportion of blue and activates the biorhythm.The color rendering can influence the purchase decision. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) says something about how natural the colors of an illuminated object appear. This is therefore a quality feature for a light source and is important, for example, in the food industry or the fashion industry.A lamp should not dazzle, neither directly nor indirectly. On the one hand one speaks of physiological glare, which causes an actual disturbance of the visual function, and on the other hand of psychological glare. This is a purely subjective and individual disturbance.Avoid flickering lights. Surely you know this from a defective fluorescent tube. Other light sources also flicker, mostly unnoticed and at high frequency. Our body perceives this constant alternation of light and dark. This affects, among other things, the ability to concentrate.Furthermore, the luminance and the direction of the light can be interesting parameters for determining an optimal lamp for the workplace.   Wall lights and ceiling lights for the living areaThe rules are not as strict for the living area, but many of the criteria mentioned can also be applied to private use. Here, the place of use is one of the determining factors for or against a particular model. And the influence of optics plays a much more important role than in the professional environment.Image: Zumtobel LED recessed ceiling light EP 1200-840For living rooms and sleeping areas, lights are usually chosen to match the furnishings. With classic models, standard lamps are to be used, and you can decide individually about their brightness and light color. In functional rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms, rows of spotlights are often used instead of individual lights. Recessed spotlights or LED recessed light points give the room a pleasant flair. The big advantage is that you can emphasize or stage individual areas of the respective room. For example, if you like to cook, there should be enough spotlights above the worktop to provide sufficient light. Beautiful pictures on the wall look even more interesting if they are directly illuminated. In the bathroom, recessed spotlights at head height illuminate your face without casting large shadows. This makes skin care and shaving easier. It is important to ensure that these not only produce a pleasant light, but are also suitable for the humid room climate.Are wall lights and ceiling lights with LED technology recommended?Basically, LED technology is a modern way of generating light. Over the years, this has almost completely replaced conventional light bulbs. The Light Emitting Diode (Light Emitting Diode) is cheap, durable and consumes little energy in comparison. Almost all manufacturers of lamps and lights offer LED wall lights and LED ceiling lights. For example, it is possible to use large floodlights or floodlights as ceiling lights. Hundreds of LEDs illuminate the room very evenly. In terms of color temperature, LEDs were limited in the first few years and emitted an unnaturally cold light. In the meantime, however, the light of modern LEDs is comparable to the 'old' light bulbs. RGB LEDs generate light across the entire color spectrum. Thanks to the LED light threads (filaments), warm colors can be generated that correspond to those of fire or candles. In the form of a wall light, these variants are suitable, for example, for atmospheric accentuation of masonry or living areas.Advantages of LED technologycheap and energy efficientlong lifetimeenvironmentally friendly recyclableflexible in structure and arrangementspace savingColor change possible Disadvantages of LED technologyhigher initial investmentonly electronically dimmablethe color rendering often seems artificialPermanently installed LEDs cannot be replaced if they are defective  TIP:If you have a choice, opt for LEDs over incandescent, CFL, or fluorescent tubes. Please refer to the product description to find out whether an LED wall light or LED ceiling light has the advantages or disadvantages mentioned. If you opt for a light with a conventional design, you don't have to do without LED technology either. In the eibabo® shop you can get LED light sources in the form of classic light bulbs, which you can use in their place in the socket of your light.Which material is recommended for my wall or ceiling light?In addition to individual taste, the choice of material for a wall light or ceiling light can be based on pragmatic criteria. In the typical living area, there are hardly any restrictions. Anything that pleases is allowed. Plastics in smooth shapes are usually easy to clean. Lights with a washable housing are best suited for use in the basement or hobby room. Some of these models are unbreakable or additionally protected against mechanical influences by brackets. It is better not to choose materials such as wood, copper or brass if the lamp will be exposed to the weather or higher humidity. Metals can discolor or rust.What do I have to pay attention to with ceiling and wall lights for outdoor use?Even outdoors, wall lights and ceiling lights are not only decorative, but also practical. When the entrance to a home is well lit at night, there is less chance of tripping and searching for the keyhole. A pleasantly lit terrace invites you to linger. But regardless of whether you decide on a subtle or eye-catching design, please pay attention to the suitability for outdoor use. A look at the product description or the information on the IP protection class can help here. All lights that you install on the house wall or on the ceiling of the entrance area must at least correspond to protection class IP44. These are protected against splashing water from all directions. The first digit describes the protection against foreign bodies, the second digit the protection against water. The higher both digits, the more protection is offered. An IP 67 luminaire, for example, withstands jets of water and brief immersion.What are the advantages of ceiling or wall lights with motion detectors?Motion detectors are useful. They detect people in the dark and then switch on the wall light or ceiling light. This ensures security in the house entrance, in the stairwell, in the driveway or in the garage after dark. Motion detectors are also useful when you don't have your hands free to operate a light switch. At eibabo® you can get ceiling lights and wall lights with and without motion detectors from all well-known manufacturers such as Hera, Philips light PLS, Regiolux, Ridi lights, RZB Zimmermann, Trilux, Zumtobel light, Schmitz lights, Schuch light, IDV, Böhmer, Eglo , ESYLUX, Briloner, BEGA Gantenbrink, Pracht, Performance in Light, Brumberg lights, Hufnagel, Trio lights, Hufnagel, Peill+Putzler, Neuhaus lights, EVN lighting technology, Legrand (BT).  Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Luminaires > Ceiling-/wall luminaire you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Bedside lampCabinet lightingDisinfection lightFabric lightFlat PolymeroFunctional lightHall lightingHandleless profileHeadlightHigh bay lightHigh temperature lampLightingLine of lightMicroprism lampMultilumenOpal lightOutdoor display lightOval lampPicture lightQuick assembly systemRecessed frame lightRecessed wallwasherSports hall lightSquare lightSurface-mounted downlightTable lightUnderpassWallwasherfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Ceiling-/wall luminaire:AbalightAlbert LeuchtenArcliteAura LightBEGA GantenbrinkBrilonerBrumbergBöhmerDianaEgloEthermaEVNFabas LuceFischer & HonselFKBGiraHelestra LeuchtenHeraHufnagelIlluminaKonstsmideLEDVANCELegrand BticinoLegrand SEKOLichtlineLTSLudwigNeuhaus LeuchtenNobileNorkaOligoOpple LightingPerformance in LightPhilips LichtRegioluxRidi-LeuchtenRopagRZBScharnberger+Has.Schmitz-LeuchtenSchuchSensopartSitecoStahlSteinelSun CracksTriluxTrio-LeuchtenWaldmannWibre
