FAQ

Do the die JBL ReptilDay Halogen units have a short service life?

No, the fundamental problem is the increased stress the lighting units are subjected to. This is mainly due to the following factors:

1) High temperature: a too small ventilation system often leads to an accumulation of heat. This in turn results in increased material fatigue.

2) High humidity: This alone does not lead to a reduced service life of the lamp. But very often there is also the splashing water factor. If splashing water hits the warm lighting this also causes material fatigue.

3) Voltage fluctuations in the mains: Basically the service life of filament lamps is dependent of the mains voltage. According to the region and the energy supplier, frequent mains fluctuations can lead to a reduction of the life service.

4) Time switches: Many “value for money” timers switch off just one phase of the current, while the mains voltage continues to run on the other phase. It is hard to tell which phase the circuit is connected to. Better would be a timer on a dual-phase switch-off basis to increase the service life of the lighting.

5) Electrical installation: should be carried out properly. Unsafely connected wires (e.g. in the ceramic sockets) can lead to a reduced service life. It is important to consider what kind of ceramic socket to use for the spotlight and how to install the ceramic socket. A skewing of the statutorily prescribed strain relief can also lead to problems with the lighting.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
