General questions

A: VoxAura systems are ideal for a variety of applications, including residential areas, offices, retail stores and special projects. They support customized solutions that harmoniously combine functionality and design.

A: 24V systems work with half the current of 12V systems, reducing heat and current losses, leading to increased lifespan.

Lower current and higher voltage allow longer ribbons with minimal voltage drop.

Lower energy consumption means lower operating costs.

Focusing on a single system significantly reduces stock size for products and accessories and enables faster product availablity.

VoxAura 24V LED-ribbons feature more LED chips than standard 12V LED-ribbons and can be cut to any size without loss of brightness, even the corners are brightly lit.

A: Due to the advantages that 24V systems offer, we have decided to offer our customers a perfectly matched, harmonized system for a wide variety of applications and combinations. We can also offer you similar products in the 12V range. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us.

General questions to light

A: Note the requirements that the luminaires in this room must meet. A different type of lighting may be required in the bedroom than in the kitchen or living room. Depending on what you do in the room, different light is required. “Layered light” is a tried and tested way of perfectly illuminating a room. Layered light offers perfect illumination of the room and an atmospheric ambience thanks to a harmonious mix of basic, accent and ambient lighting:
● Basic lighting: uniform, very diffuse light that illuminates the entire room
● Accent lighting / zone lighting: brings light to where it is needed; sets accents; creates zones within a room
● Ambient lighting: discreet, warm light; creates atmosphere; sets the scene in the room.

A: Human Centric Lighting (HCL) is a lighting concept that aims to improve people’s well-being, health and performance by adapting lighting conditions to their natural biological needs and daily rhythms. Important aspects of Human Centric Lighting:
● Adaptation to the natural day-night rhythm: HCL systems mimic the changes in natural daylight by adjusting the light colour and intensity throughout the day. Cool, energizing light is often used in the morning, while warmer, relaxing light is used in the evening to support the natural sleep-wake rhythm.
● Consideration of biological needs: The light is designed to support people’s biological rhythms, leading to better sleep patterns, increased alertness and improved well-being. This is achieved by adjusting the colour temperature and light intensity.
● Improving productivity and mood: By using HCL, environments can be created that increase productivity and concentration by adapting the lighting conditions to the natural course of the day. It can also help to improve mood and reduce stress.
● Health promotion: HCL systems can help to prevent health problems such as sleep disorders and eye strain by optimally adapting the lighting conditions to people’s circadian rhythms. Flexibility and control: Modern HCL systems often offer the option of adjusting and controlling the light using intelligent systems and sensors that respond to individual needs and preferences.

A: The colour temperature describes the colour of the white light from a light source, measured in Kelvin (K), and indicates whether the white light appears warm (yellowish) or cold (bluish). Colour temperature affects human mood, productivity, sleep quality and perception by shaping the atmosphere in a room and influencing people’s biological and psychological well-being.
● Warm white light (< 3300 K): relaxing
Creates a cozy, relaxing atmosphere that is often used in living rooms and restaurants. It can help to reduce stress and promote a relaxed mood. Ideal for relaxing activities in the evening or during leisure time.
● Neutral white light (3400 K – 5000 K): activating, energizing
Promotes a productive and focused environment often used in offices and workspaces. It can improve concentration and alertness by simulating a natural daylight atmosphere.
● Cool white (daylight white) light (> 5000 K): enhances concentration
Has a stimulating effect that can increase alertness and energy. It is often used in areas that require high precision and attention, such as workspaces and laboratories. Can reduce fatigue and increase performance, especially in the morning hours or when working at night.

A: LEDs can be divided into the following systems: 
● Monochrome white: LEDs that produce a specific colour of white light; the colour temperature cannot be varied.
● Multiwhite: LEDs that combine several white LEDs with different colour temperatures (e.g. warm white, neutral white, cool white) to enable a variable light colour and temperature and thus offer a more flexible lighting solution.
● RGB (red, green, blue): LED illuminants that produce a wide range of colours by combining red, green and blue light in variable intensities using additive colour mixing. RGB LEDs can also mix white light.
● RGB monochrome: LED light sources that combine both RGB colour-changing LEDs and white LEDs with a specific colour temperature to enable a comprehensive range of colours and flexible light temperature control. White light is not produced by mixing red, green and blue colours, but by separately controlled white LEDs. The result is a “more perfect” white than is possible by mixing red, green and blue.
● RGB multiwhite: LED light sources that combine both RGB colour-changing LEDs and several white LEDs with different colour temperatures to enable a comprehensive range of colours and flexible light temperature control. White light is not produced by mixing red, green and blue colours, but by separately controlled white LEDs. The result is a more “perfect” shade of white than is possible by mixing red, green and blue.

A: Illuminance depends on the relationship between the distance from a light source, its beam angle and colour temperature. 
● Increasing distance leads to decreasing illuminance.
● A small beam angle produces a focused beam of light with high illuminance, while a wide beam angle produces a wider light cone with less illuminance.
● Although warm white and cool white light can technically have the same illuminance, cool white light mostly seems brighter than warm white light.

A: Luminaires with a small beam angle have a focused light cone and are therefore suitable for accent and object lighting (accentuation of individual areas / objects).

A: Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a measure of how naturally and accurately a light source reproduces the colours of objects compared to daylight.

The CRI evaluates the ability of a light source to display the colours of objects authentically and naturally. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 representing the best color reproduction, comparable to natural sunlight. So CRI 97+ is near to the colour rendering of daylight and so provides you with true colours.

General questions to installation

A: The applicable national regulations must be observed. Installation and commissioning may only be carried out by a qualified electrician in some cases. The products may only be used for their intended purpose. The instructions in the installation and operating instructions must be observed. Modifications for which the products are not intended are not permitted. Non-compliance may result in damage to property and personal injury. Furthermore, the manufacturer accepts no liability in the event of non-compliance and the warranty becomes void.

A: The installation of our systems requires standard tools that are typically available in professional workshops. You will find all the necessary installation instructions in our detailed installation manuals.

A: Our products use a user-friendly plug-in system that enables a quick and secure connection without extensive technical knowledge. This makes installation and maintenance easier.

A: Technical support and further information is available from our customer service department. We also offer extensive information on our homepage and in our catalogue, including installation guides, product specifications and application notes.

LED-ribbons

A: An additional driver must be connected in between to ensure a constant voltage supply and thus prevent the brightness from dropping.

A: The LS4005 product family features constant current technology. This technology enables a (visual) strip length of up to 15m without a significant drop in luminous flux.<br>
Also suitable for short-term voltage peaks up to 16 V thanks to the integrated IC.
This is why LED strips with constant current technology are ideal for ceiling lighting and lighting in caravans.

A: COB LED-ribbons are characterized by a wide beam angle of 180° and homogeneous illumination without visible LED dots (without diffusor).

A: The LED-ribbon and the driver must be suitable for use in wet rooms; information on this is provided by the IP protection rating. Depending on the distance to possible water sources, an IP rating of at least IP44 is required for wet rooms. VoxAura silicone ribbons have an IP44 protection rating.

A: Yes, silicone LED strips are characterized by lateral light emission.
In addition, silicone LED strips can also be installed in waves and circles due to the material properties of silicone, whereby a radius of at least 30 mm must be observed.

A: VoxAura systems are also harmonized for connectors. As a rule, the width of the PCB of the LED-ribbon needs to be taken into account. The straight and 90° connectors are generally suitable for 12 and 24V systems, but it must be noted whether they are suitable for SMD and / or COB LED-ribbons. For the connecting cables with connectors, it must be noted additionally to the width whether they are 12 or 24V.

A: If the LED dots should not be visible, yes.
The diffusors ensures uniform lighting.
It must be noted from how many LEDs /m the LED dots are no longer visible.

A: This depends on the light transmission of the diffusor.
VoxAura diffusors have a high light transmission of 80 %.

A: The operating temperature has a decisive influence on the service life. The warmer, the shorter the service life.

Linear light

A: Vox Aura linear lights are pre-assembled LED-ribbons in aluminum profiles and already include the diffusor. 
They can be cut to any size on site. 
Just clip the end cap and power cable onto the cutted profile. 
VoxAura recessed linear lights are installed without glue and any resulting damage of furniture by clip-in system: Screw the clips into furniture and clip-in the profile. This system allows simple and damage-free adjustment in future.

A: You need to consider the type of use and where the linear light is to be installed in order to select the right model.
Our linear lights indicate the type of lighting or mounting for which they are suitable, e.g. special linear lights for mounting on glass, for side mounting, in drawers, as an illuminated wardrobe rail.

A: Yes. VoxAura offers linear lights with turnable light after installation.

Mini track light

A: Yes. A non-illuminated track with a black cover is supplied as standard. However, you can order an additional LED-ribbon and a diffusor to illuminate the track if required.

A: Yes. The spots can be clipped in at any position on the track. You only need to pay attention to the cut of the diffusor.

Power supply

A: No. The components of VoxAura systems are optimally matched to each other. To ensure safety and functionality, only VoxAura components may be connected to each other.

A: No. This requires smart-driver + control unit to enable control of the light colour and temperature. Only monochrome lights can be controlled with integrated drivers.

A: First you need to decide whether an integrated or smart-driver is required to control the light you want. In addition the power of the driver must be matched to the loads that are connected.

A: No. The control unit defines the application (incl. colour system) and functions of smart-drivers.

A: It is important to consider which lighting system is to be controlled, which switches are to be connected and whether the light is to be controlled synchronously or asynchronously.

A: HFD means High Frequency Driver. This is a completely new technology in the field of LED drivers and enables smallest design as well as significant reduces of operating temperature what leads to increased lifetime.

A: The voltage drops if the cable length is too long and the LEDs no longer shine brightly. Therefore, please observe the maximum cable length from the driver to the light of 6 m.

Switches

A: First and foremost, how you want to control the light and if the functions of the switch match with your system.
You also need to consider whether you prefer wireless or wired switches.

A: Yes. For VoxAura devices with Bluetooth, the signal is passed from device to device, allowing the network and signal range to be extended.

A: Yes. With the help of VoxAura’s multiple switch unit.

Accessories

A: VoxAura also offers accessories such as extension cables and distributors.
