Q – What are Kelvins? What does 3000/4000/5000K mean?
Kelvins refers to the colour temperature (or the colour of light) that is emitted by a light source. It can have a dramatic effect on the functionality or mood of a room. Typically, the lower the kelvin temperature of a light source, the warmer the colour emitted. The higher the kelvin temperature of a light source, the cooler the colour emitted. Lower kelvin temperature light sources are ideal for use in bedrooms, living rooms and dining rooms, whereas higher kelvin temperature light sources are typically used in functional areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, etc.
Q – What are lumens?
Lumens (lm) are a measurement of the total quantity of light emitted by a light source. In simple terms, the higher the lumen, the brighter the light will appear. The efficiency of a light source is usually calculated by dividing the total lumens by the wattage of the product 1800 lm / 22 watts = 81.8 lumens/watt (the higher the lumens/watt = the more efficient the light source).
Q – What is the difference between a 40W incandescent globe and a 42W halogen globe, why does 2 watts matter

Q – Will my product be suitable for use in the bathroom?
For your Mercator product to be deemed suitable for use in the bathroom it needs to be rated against the Ingress Protection (IP) Table (sometimes referred to as the International Protection Rating). This rating indicates the products level of protection against the intrusion of solid particles, dust and water. If your product is suitable for use in the bathroom it will have an IP rating on the packaging. This rating will assist your electrician in identifying where within your bathroom the product can be, or should not be installed.
