Häfele Lighting Frequently Asked Questions

Häfele is committed to producing, marketing and selling products that meet or exceed all relevant safety standards for the industry.

Häfele Lighting products are designed and manufactured to achieve the most relevant standard in the United States, as defined by Underwriters Laboratory (UL), UL2108 (Standard for Safety Low Voltage Lighting Systems).

• UL2108 applies to low voltage lighting systems and components intended for permanent installation and use in locations following the National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA 70, Article 411 (Lighting Systems Operating at 30 Volts or Less and Lighting Equipment Connected to Class 2 Power Sources
   
• The UL2108 listing of low voltage lighting products is also relevant when our customers want to comply with other standards such as UL962 for residential and commercial furnishings, UL970 for commercial display cases and UL1286 for office furnishings. These standards are only referenced as examples and are not meant to be an exhaustive list of potential requirements to consider in applying low voltage lighting systems.
   
• Compliance with relevant standards and codes is the responsibility of our customers when using the Häfele low voltage lighting systems, and it is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the lighting is applied correctly, safely and in compliance with all applicable codes.
   
• Many local electrical code interpretations exist in the United States, and it is advisable to proactively understand these nuances before installing low voltage lighting in construction or furniture products.
   
• In jurisdictions where the NEC Article 410 (Luminaires, Lampholders and Lamps) applies, care must be taken in selecting the correct placement and/or luminaire. Consider the following points in particular when using luminaires in a clothes closet:

• All Häfele Lighting luminaires are suitable for use in clothes closet spaces, provided installation satisfies the required location constraints of NEC Article 410.16C (Luminaires in Clothes Closets-Location).
   
• LED strip lights must always be installed within a linear profile with a lens and endcaps to ensure that the LED light source is enclosed and cannot be contacted.
   
• If luminaires are to be installed in a location that may place them in direct contact with items stored in the closet or storage space, they are required to pass an additional test under the standard UL1598 (Standard for Safety- Luminaires). This is an additional requirement contained in the UL2108 listing, which as previously outlined, is the general certification making the luminaires suitable for installation in the storage area of a clothes closet.
   
• The Häfele Lighting low voltage lighting system has the following families of product that meet the additional UL1598 test standard for more flexible use within closet or storage space:

Refraction Angle		The refraction angle (beam angle) describes the angle between two imagined straight lines in a plane through the visual beam axis, whereby these straight lines go through the center of the front of the lamp and through the points at which the illuminance is 50% of the illuminance on the visual beam axis.
Illuminance		The illuminance is the luminous flux (lm) in relation to a surface (m²) and it is indicated in Lux (lx). It is used to measure the brightness with which a surface is illuminated.
Binning		During industrial manufacture, LEDs differ from each other with regard to color, luminous flux (brightness) and forward voltage. In order to achieve consistent light quality with the same brightness level and a uniform light color, they are therefore sorted according to color, luminous flux and forward voltage and separated into bins (“containers”) during manufacturing. This sorting process is known as Binning. Häfele exclusively uses bins with a high degree of brightness in order to achieve high efficiency.
Bluetooth® Mesh		Network technology which was introduced in 2017, based on Bluetooth® Low Energy, in which all components (controls, devices) form a joint network, which is ideal for controlling lights. Häfele Connect Mesh uses this technology.
Energy Efficiency Class		The energy efficiency class provides information about the relevant energy consumption. Lamps and lights are categorized in classes E to A++. LED lights achieve the highest classes A to A++.
Color Temperature and Light Color		The color temperature is a specification of the color appearance of a white light source and is measured in Kelvin (K). The lower the color temperature, the warmer the light color; the higher the color temperature, the cooler the light color. White light sources with a color temperature below 3400 K are considered “warm white” by Häfele, white light sources with a color temperature between 3400 K and 5700 K are considered “cool white”. White light sources above 5700 K are referred to as “daylight white”.
Color Consistency / Color Differences		Color differences are specified in stages, so called “MacAdams Ellipses” or “SDCM” (Standard Deviation of Color Matching). Häfele uses 3 SDCM binnings for its LED products. This is a good value, because it is statistically unlikely that LEDs with a maximum color difference will be next to each other on the strip light or in the light and that the color difference is visible. In its ErP directive, the EU Commission stipulates that 6 SDCMs may not be exceeded for LED products.   SDCM Visibility 1 Only people with extremely good vision can see the most minimal color differences. 2 Most minimal color differences are visible. 3 Very small color differences are visible. 4 Color differences are visible. 5 Significant color differences are visible. >5 Very clear color differences are visible.
Color Rendering Index CRI		The color rendering index is a parameter that can be used to compare the color rendering quality of light sources at the same color temperature. The higher the value, the better the color rendering. A value of 100 corresponds to the color rendering of sunlight.
Constant Current Technology		The same current flows through each LED. That means that the brightness of all LEDs is the same, and a drop in luminous flux is prevented. This increases the maximum visual length of the strip lights
Life Time		Specified in operating hours. The life time mainly depends on the warming of the products. The hotter the environment, the shorter the life time. The replacement rate in years is calculated from the total life time and the average operating time per annum. The following table can be used as a planning aid. The specified life time relates to L80/B10.   Indoor use Annual Operating Time (EN 15193) Hours Replacement Rate Years Life Time Installation Hours Office 2,500 20 50,000 Education 2,000 25 50,000 Hospital 5,000 10 50,000 Hotel 5,000 10 50,000 Restaurant 2,500 10 25,000 Shop 5,000 10 50,000
Life Time L80 / B10		L80 is the time after which the LED is still emitting 80% of its original light. B10 means that 10% of the LEDs may have less than 80% of the original light output. Häfele tests all LEDs it uses in accordance with the LM-80 standard. LM-80 is a standardized testing method, which allows products to bear the EPA's (Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star. The test is a manufacturer-independent comparison of LEDs. During the test the luminous flux (Lumen maintenance) of an LED is tested at three different temperatures for a minimum of 6,000 hours. Then the life time L80 is calculated by means of extrapolation. The extrapolation procedure is described in regulation IES TM-21.
LED		A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semi-conductor element that emits light when electricity passes through it. This semi-conductor element consists of a crystal that is attached to a metal base, and both are encapsulated in protective plastic. LEDs are mostly based on inorganic, i.e. non-carbon based materials.
Luminous Efficacy		The luminous efficacy is the ratio of the luminous flux and the wattage absorbed. It is used to measure the operating efficiency of the light source. It is indicated in Lumens per Watt (lm/W).
Luminous Flux		It is indicated in Lumen (lm). The luminous flux indicates the light output, i.e. the quantity of light a source emits. The value may be subject to measurement and production-related fluctuations of ±10%.
Drop in Luminous Flux		The brightness of the LEDs on LED strip lights decreases with the length of the strip light due to the increasing resistance of the copper line. A drop in luminous flux from the first to the last LED of up to 30% is imperceptible to the human eye. That's why Häfele specifies a maximum strip light length for this visual value. Generally, it is possible to operate strip lights with longer lengths, but a difference in brightness will be visible. Exception: The LEDs of the strip lights with constant current technology (LED 3050/3051/3052) always have the same brightness.
Max. Strip Light Length		Visual value - Strip light length with an imperceptible drop in luminous flux of max. 30%. Wattage-dependent value - Strip light length = output power of driver / wattage of the strip light per meter. If the wattage-dependent value is greater than the visual value, a difference in brightness will be perceivable. Exception: The LEDs of the strip lights with constant current technology (LED 3050/3051/3052) always have the same brightness.
Tunable White		The light color of shades of white can be changed as required with Häfele Connect Mesh, e.g. from warm white to cool white.
RGB		RGB is the abbreviation for red, green and blue. In combination with Häfele Connect Mesh, almost any color combination can be created from these three primary colors.
RoHS - Lead in Häfele Lighting Products		Lighting products by Häfele are lead-free and adhere to the RoHS guidelines. RoHS is part of CE conformity. All Loox products are CE compliant. Häfele does not advertise the CE conformity in its catalogs, since only CE compliant products are allowed to be offered.
Transmittance		Ratio of transmitted light to incidental light. An ideal transparent body would have a transmittance of 100%.

 

LED strip lights without a silicone sleeve do not require cleaning. Silicone strip lights can be wiped down with a damp, anti-static cloth. Scouring agents and aggressive cleaners can destroy the surface and attack the LEDs.

To ensure the safety and functionality of the installation, only Loox drivers, or drivers that have been explicitly approved by Häfele should be used. If an electronics technician installs the system, Häfele Lighting can also be connected and coupled with on-site electrical equipment. However, we explicitly point out that these tasks must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Loox5 drivers are rated for 50,000 hrs. with a max. ambient temperature of 104° F. The lifetime is doubled with an ambient temperature of < 86° F. When installing the driver, keep a minimum distance of 50 mm (2") on all sides to ensure sufficient air supply and circulation.

Ensure proper switch cable connections and dip switch settings for multi-function switches.
Sensor switches should be installed with the TOP lettering on the switch pointing upwards.

Häfele makes high demands on the selection of the materials. All Häfele LED strips contain high-quality and long-lasting LEDs from industry leading suppliers. Häfele sets very tight quality specifications to ensure consistent color temperature throughout the product line.

12 V systems: 12 V x 5.0 A = 60 W with a 60 W driver
24 V systems: 24 V x 3.75 A = 90 W with a 90 W driver

The maximum lead length from the Häfele driver to the device is 10 m (32' 9 11/16").
Long cable lengths in combination with large loads (strip light lengths) can result in voltage losses in the cable. These lead to visible loss of brightness in the lights. The illuminance listed with the lights has been determined with the rated output voltage of the driver. (12 V or 24 V).

AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. 
It is the coding for wire diameters in electrical leads that are mainly used in North America. This identifies the cross-section of wires in electrical leads that consist of stranded or solid core wire.

Häfele allows the following current carrying capacity and wattage:

Type of Cable	24 AWG		22 AWG		20 AWG		18 AWG
Current carrying capacity	1.5 A		2.5 A		3.5 A		5.0 A
Voltage	12 V	24 V	12 V	24 V	12 V	24 V	12 V	24 V
Wattage	18 W	36 W	30 W	60 W	42 W	84 W	60 W	90 W

 

The type of cable is imprinted on the coating of the cable.

Yes, however the acrylic glass increases the color variations (binning) up to four times and minimal color deviations are therefore more visible.

Yes, up to three wired switches can be connected to the 6-way multi-switch distributor (see page 258). With Häfele’s Connect Mesh wireless controls, multiple wireless switches or remotes can be paired with several Connect Mesh distributors using the Connect Mesh mobile app or directly with EasyPairing.

Yes. Our LED strip lights can be used; however, it is important to note that the voltage peaks may reduce the lifetime. We also offer Constant Current LED strips with a special IC chip that compensates for voltage fluctuations of the vehicle power sources without problems.

Yes. Our COB Complete silicone strip lights provide IP67 protection when installed, which is sufficient for most applications. The LED strips can be operated in temperatures up to 60° C (140° F). However, it must be ensured that the driver and power cord remain dry, and are installed in locations with a max. ambient temperature of 45° C (113° F).

Flashing is typically a sign of an overloaded driver. Use a higher wattage driver, or reduce the number of lights.

Plug your Mesh Box into the Driver, it should automatically start blinking (meaning it’s in Pairing Mode). If it’s not blinking when you plug the Mesh Box into the Driver, hold the reset button down on the Mesh Box for at least 10 seconds, counting a full second (i.e. one-one-thousand, two-one-thousand, etc.), until you reach 10 seconds. The Mesh Box will start blinking after 4 seconds. Please continue holding the Reset Button for the full 10 seconds.

If you want to add a Kinetic Switch to a 6-Port Mesh Box, you cannot have all the Lighting Ports activated because the Kinetic Switch uses storage. In a 6-Port Mesh (12V 850.00.042 or 24V 850.00.043) all the Lights and Switches use storage. Monochrome Light Ports use storage on the Mesh Box, once you have 5 Light Ports filled you will get a “Configuration Limit Reached” alert. That’s ok, you can still have all 6 Lights Ports and the Sensor Switch Port active, but you will not be able to use a Kinetic Switch with all 6 Ports filled.

Plug the Mesh Box Distributor into the Driver. It should start blinking as soon as you plug the Mesh Box Distributor into the Driver. Be sure to have only 1 Device (Mesh Box) in Pairing Mode at a time.

After creating your Network, the App will take you to the Dashboard. The Dashboard will let you add your 1st Mesh Box, then you will need to go under the Device tab to add additional Devices (Mesh Boxes & Remotes/Switches). Ensure your Devices (Mesh Boxes) are in Pairing Mode.

For Pairing Mode: Hold the reset button down on the Mesh Box for 10 seconds minimum. Counting a full second like 1- 1000, 2- 1000, until you reach 10 seconds. The Mesh Box will start blinking on its own & showing it is in Pairing Mode.

2. Select Add Devices or select the plus mark (+) on the screen, to add the Device (Mesh Boxes)

Now the Mesh Box is in the Network! Follow the instruction on the Screen. Instructions may vary based on what type of Mesh Box you have: 6-Port, 4-Port or 2-Port Mesh Box.

You cannot separate the Ports on a 2 Port Mesh Box. Both output ports are controlled together (1 channel). The 2 Port Mesh Box Distributor always controls both output ports together. They function as one single channel, meaning you cannot assign or operate each port independently. This is different from the 4 Port or 6 Port Mesh Boxes, where you can activate, assign, and configure ports separately.

You have 2 ways to operate the Network: Set Up Mode and Control Mode. Go to the gear icon on the top right of the App screen. This will take you to settings. When you select one mode, it will ask you if you want to switch to the other mode.
