XQ-lite

XQ Lite portfolio for residential and commercial lighting

XQ Lite covers everyday lamp replacements and project rollouts for retail, hospitality, office, and residential upgrades. The range focuses on predictable lumen output, stable colour rendering, and broad availability in the most common cap types and wattage classes.

Category map and when to use each

• General selection across caps, wattages, and form factors starts with XQ Lite lamps. Use this when you are building a mixed bill of materials and need quick filtering by base type, shape, and luminous flux.
• For legacy fittings and decorative fixtures that need warm tone and full dimmer compatibility, source incandescent bulbs. These provide instant full brightness and excellent colour quality, useful in heritage venues and specialty luminaires.
• For energy saving upgrades with fast ROI and lower maintenance, standardize on light bulbs in LED technology. Match lumen output rather than nominal wattage and validate driver behaviour on existing dimmers.
• In general purpose pendants, table lamps, and bulkheads, specify XQ Lite E27 light bulbs. This covers the most common domestic and light commercial socket, with options from soft warm to cool white and clear or opal diffusers.
• Where a classical filament look is required in a standard screw base, choose E27 incandescent bulbs. These suit dim-to-warm ambience in restaurants, boutiques, and residential accent points.

Engineering selection criteria for procurement

1. Lumen match not watt match
   Replace on lumens to preserve brightness across technologies. Typical E27 replacements: 40 W incandescent ≈ 470 lm, 60 W ≈ 800 lm, 75 W ≈ 1050 lm, 100 W ≈ 1520 lm.
2. Colour rendering and ambience
   For retail colour accuracy target CRI 90 where available; for offices and corridors CRI 80 is generally sufficient. Select 2700 K for hospitality ambience, 3000 K for mixed use, 4000 K for task areas.
3. Optics and glare
   Opal globes soften hotspots in open luminaires; clear glass decorative forms maximise sparkle in chandeliers. In downlight retrofits check beam spread and cutoff to limit glare.
4. Dimming and driver behaviour
   Confirm dimmer type leading edge or trailing edge and minimum load. For multiple lamps per dimmer, verify flicker at low set points and ensure drivers meet flicker metrics for comfort.
5. Electrical and thermal limits
   Validate nominal voltage range and surge immunity for sites with unstable mains. In enclosed shades, check maximum case temperature ratings and allow thermal headroom.
6. Lifetime and maintenance
   Compare L70 claims and switching cycle ratings to estimate replacement intervals. In high access-cost areas, prioritise longer lifetime SKUs to reduce lift usage and downtime.

Application guidance

• Hospitality and retail
  Use warm CCT with high CRI on merchandise and dining zones; decorative clear bulbs for feature pendants; dimmable lines for scene control.
• Offices and education
  Neutral white with low glare; ensure compatibility with occupancy sensors and daylight controls; verify stroboscopic effect limits for visual comfort.
• Residential and public housing
  Mix of warm and neutral tones by room; standardise on E27 where possible to simplify spares; use shatter resistant designs in public corridors.

Quality and compliance checkpoints

• CE marking and declarations of conformity held on file
• Safety testing to relevant EN standards and correct lamp marking
• EMC compliance to avoid radio interference with building systems
• Packaging with barcodes and batch data for inventory control

Why source XQ Lite from Bank of Lamps

Bank of Lamps is a wholesale distributor with EU wide delivery from a Latvia warehouse, real time stock, bulk pricing, and consolidated multi brand shipments. We help engineering and procurement teams align lumen targets, CCT policy, dimmer compatibility, and replenishment cycles across sites.

If helpful, I can convert this into a tender ready bill of materials with lumen equivalence tables, CCT policy by zone, dimming compatibility notes, and reorder pack sizes.
