Lamp Measurements

To get more clarity and transparency in the lighting market OliNo has been conducting since 2007
independent measurements of all kinds of light bulbs. More and more companies are aware of these
services . As a result we see the number lamps offered for measurement rise sharply annually. We now have more than 1300 published measurements in our database.

Measurement Reports, complete and in Depth

For each measurement, a very detailed and comprehensive measurement report is created . The target group for the measurement reports are suppliers, manufacturers, lighting engineers and architects (Eulumdat files).
We often hear from our customers that the OliNo measurement reports are “best in class” in the light market .


Summary of a Measurement Report

Here is an example of a full measurements report.

However, the measurement reports are too technical for the average consumer . The consumer is
looking for an energy saving light source to replace its existing lamp(s) and wants to be guided
without having to read various technical reports. That is why we have built the OliNo Retrofit advice wizard.

Honest and independent advice to consumers

With the OliNo Retrofit Advice wizard, consumers (individuals and companies) can easily find an energy saving replacement lamp.

Unique

There are many comparison websites on the Internet for lamps. However, the OliNo Retrofit Advice wizard is unique because we compare only lamps that are actually measured by ourselfs. This gives you as a consumer a fair and independent advice. You as a consumer can finally compare apples to apples.

Advice

The advice we give about lamps is purely based on our own professional lamp measurements. As a consumer, you can indicate what the desired properties must be of the lamp, and we find in the database which measured lamps match. In the search results, we show the lamps found sorted by efficiency. The most efficient lamps, expressed in lumens / watt, are at the top. We do this because efficient bulbs are more economical and produce less heat. This is good for the lamp life.

For the professionals we also have the complete overview of all published measurements.
