Xbt – our brand on the market

modern LED light sources which fulfil the latest requirements of energy efficiency. The wide range of LED light sources of the XBT brand allow one to select the light intensity, degree of brightness, light diffusion and colour temperature for every type of lighting and to suit the needs of each customer.

We warmly invite you to get to know the new range of LED light sources of the xbt brand, available only at Kaczmarek Electric.

As experienced distributors of light technology, we have prepared a range of products that are a direct answer to the needs of our customers. These include LED light sources with all of the most common base types: E27, E14, GU10, GU5,3, G13, which can replace traditional light bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs and halogen lighting used in households, as well as in schools, offices, workshops and public use buildings. The range is supplemented by LED spotlights (floodlights).

XBT – modern LED light sources which fulfil the newest energy efficiency requirements.

A wide range of LED sources of the XBT brand allow one to select the light intensity, degree of brightness, light diffusion and colour temperature for every type of lighting and to suit the needs of every customer.

A breakthrough on the market.

Since 1 September 2009 in all countries of the European Union, there is a process underway of removing ineffective light sources from the market, i.e. energy-intensive tungsten and halogen light bulbs of the old type. This is a result of the EU commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

These decisions accelerated the development of LED technology, already known and developed for 30 years. Today light sources using light-emitting diodes have become the most readily used type of lighting, above all because they are the most energy-efficient. Their effectiveness, i.e. the amount of provided energy transformed into visible light is from 80 to 95%. In a traditional 100W light bulb only 5-7% of the energy is transformed into light, while the rest generates heat.

Lumens, not Watts.

The technological “generational change” of course meant a sort of “arms race” on the market of LED light sources. Producers tried to compete by raising various parameters of their products.

At the beginning, light-emitting diodes (LED) were offered in light sources of very low power, 1-2 watts, but soon manufacturers began racing to increase their capabilities. When it turned out that increasing the wattage was a dead-end street, as more important was the amount of emitted light as expressed in Lumens, the next step was rivalry to obtain the highest amount of Lumens possible.

Many producers concentrated on increasing this parameter at the cost of others (e.g. proper cooling), which had an effect on the quality and durability of products. It also occurs that offered products do not actually meet the parameters declared by the producer, and their only advantage is low price.

A product made to fit needs.

The Kaczmarek Electric company initiated its project of bringing onto the market a new brand of LED light sources – xbt – with the rich experience of a distributor which had for years sold LED lighting to wholesale and retail clients and well knew their expectations.

Light sources of the xbt brand are the answer to these expectations. The goal of the xbt brand is not to revolutionise the market, but to meet the demands of customers.

The main principle of Kaczmarek Electric’s project was to offer customers reliable products, of good quality, with stable parameters and of course at a good price.

“We didn’t want to compete with other producers in the amount of watts, lumens, or in attaining the lowest prices on the market. We wanted to avoid mistakes that happen to other companies, and to simply propose a very good product to our customers. A mature product, free of defects.”

Most important factors in choosing a light source

DURABILITY OF LIGHT SOURCE
guaranteed number of on/off cycles

SERVICE LIFE OF LIGHT SOURCE
number of hours of problem-free source operation

COLOUR RENDERING INDEX
the higher the value, the more faithful the rendering. Light sources used in households must have a value of at least RA 80

TYPE OF SCREW / BASE

VOLTAGE PARAMETERS POWERING SOURCE
e.g. mains voltage 230V 50Hz

ANGLE OF LIGHT DISTRIBUTION
The greater the angle, the larger an area is lighted. A light source of lesser distribution angle is suitable for accented, decorative lighting

TEMPERATURE OF SURROUNDINGS
the range of temperature in which a given light source can be used

DEGREE OF LEAKPROOFNESS OF LIGHT FIXTURE
in this case it is a fixture which can operate outdoors, exposed to heavy rain and thick dust

TIME AFTER SWITCHING ON
required to reach over half the nominal power of the light source

NOT COMPATIBLE
with lighting dimmers
