Beleuchtung: LED & Kerzen

Was sind LED Kerzen?

Bei LED-Kerzen handelt es sich um eine moderne Alternative zu Echtwachskerzen. Sie imitieren auf sichere und energieeffiziente Weise Kerzenschein. 

Was spare ich mit LED Kerzen?

LED Kerzen sind eine kostengünstige Alternative zu Teelichtern, die sich schnell amortisieren. Berechnen Sie doch mal Ihr persönliches Einsparpotenzial, wenn Sie die LED Sets anstelle von Teelichtern verwenden (inkl. Anschaffungskosten). Dazu stellen wir Ihnen auf dieser Seite einen LED-Rechner zur Verfügung.

Warum sollte ich LED Kerzen kaufen?

Die Vorteile von LED-Kerzen liegen auf der Hand: Sie sind energieeffizient, bieten einen sicheren Betrieb und sind durch das kerzentypische Flackern kaum von echten Wachskerzen zu unterscheiden. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist das praktische und zeitsparende Handling, denn sie können einfach per Knopfdruck oder Timer eingeschaltet werden.

Welche LED Halter gibt es?

Unsere Halter wurden speziell für unser Sortiment an LED-Lampen entwickelt. Wir haben eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher LED-Halter im Portfolio - sowohl für den Indoor-, als auch Outdoor-Gebrauch. Sie können selbst entscheiden, ob Sie eher ein indirektes Licht oder ein direktes Licht bevorzugen. Schauen Sie sich hier um.

Welche Farbvarianten kann ich einstellen?

Die Duni Mini Lamps verfügen über ein breites Farbspektrum. Fast alle Farben des Regenbogens sorgen für tolle Lichtstimmung. Von Rot über Grün, Gelb, Blau, Orange, Pink bis hin zum klassischen Weiß. Wählen Sie eine von 12 Farben und lassen Sie nicht nur die Augen Ihrer Gäste strahlen.

Unser Set LED-Plug bereiten Ihnen in der Farbe Warm White oder in Multicolor ein leuchtendes Vergnügen.

Unser LED-Set Bewegende Flamme verfügt über eine kerzenartig flackernde Flamme und eine schöne warmweiße Farbe.

Wie lange hält eine LED Lampe?

Die Lebensdauer einer Duni LED-Lampe kann je nach Modell und Verwendung variieren. Im Allgemeinen sind Duni LED-Lampen jedoch für eine lange Lebensdauer bekannt und geschätzt. Diese lange Lebensdauer ist auf die energieeffiziente Natur der LED-Technologie zurückzuführen, die weniger Wärme erzeugt und weniger Energie verbraucht als herkömmliche Glühbirnen. Darüber hinaus werden die Duni LED-Lampen aus hochwertigen Materialien hergestellt und sind so konzipiert, dass sie regelmäßigem Gebrauch und Verschleiß in der Gastronomie standhalten und somit eine zuverlässige und langlebige Leistung bieten.

Wie entsorge ich eine LED-Kerze?

LED Leuchtmittel sind glücklicherweise sehr langlebig. Trotz der langen Lebensdauer kann es sein, dass LEDs irgendwann nicht mehr funktionstüchtig sind oder durch Schaden ihre Funktionalität verlieren. Unbrauchbare LEDs sollten sie nicht über den üblichen Hausmüll entsorgen, sondern an geeigneten Annahmestellen für Elektroschrott abgeben.

Sind Duni Kerzen selbstlöschend?

Ja, Duni-Kerzen sind selbstlöschend. Das bedeutet, dass die Flamme von selbst erlischt, sobald sie einen bestimmten Punkt erreicht hat, ohne dass ein Eingriff von außen erforderlich ist. Dies ist ein Sicherheitsmerkmal, das verhindert, dass die Kerze zu lange brennt und möglicherweise einen Brand verursacht. Duni-Kerzen werden aus hochwertigen Materialien hergestellt und sind so konzipiert, dass sie gleichmäßig und sauber abbrennen, ohne Rauch oder Ruß zu erzeugen. Sie eignen sich somit für jeden Anlass und jede Umgebung. Ganz gleich, ob Sie zu Hause ein romantisches Ambiente schaffen oder eine besondere gastronomische Veranstaltung dekorieren möchten.

Sind Duni LEDs batteriebetrieben?

Nein, sie enthalten einen Akku, sodass bei unseren LEDs keine Batterien umständlich gewechselt werden müssen. Stattdessen laden Sie die Lichter einfach mithilfe der Ladestation.

What actually are "napkin pockets" and what are they suitable for?

Cutlery and napkin bags are the epitome of practical and hygienic table decoration and true quick-change artists. In a way, they have a 2-in-1 function. On the one hand, they offer space for fork, knife, spoon and on the other hand, when unfolded, they function as a mouth wiper.

Does Duni have products in the range that make setting the table easier?

We do everything we can to help caterers shorten their handling times and make them more time-efficient. This is helped, for example, by cutlery and napkin pockets or LED lamps that can be switched on at the touch of a button. Placemats also protect against soiling and are quickly set and changed.

Packaging & To Go

What is disposable tableware and why should I use it at all?

Disposable tableware is - as the name suggests - tableware that is designed for single use. After use, forks, knives, plates and the like are disposed of and not washed. Disposable tableware has become indispensable, especially in the takeaway and to-go sectors.

How can I recognize sustainable disposable tableware & cutlery?

To identify sustainable disposable tableware, you should look at a few important things. First, pay attention to the material. Sustainable products are often made from renewable resources like bamboo, sugar cane or plant-based plastics. Look for certifications like those from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) to ensure the product is truly sustainable. Also, look for additional eco-friendly features like compostability or recyclability. Finally, pay attention to the production process: Sustainable products often have a lower carbon footprint and use less water and energy. By considering these factors, you can choose disposable tableware that is both practical and environmentally friendly.

Which disposable tableware has been banned since 2021? What alternatives are there?

On July 3, 2021, the single-use plastic regulation came into force and many take-away items have been banned since then. However, this does not mean the end of disposable tableware. After all, there are definitely sustainable and resource-saving alternatives: Bagasse made from sugar cane, wood and bamboo, or even paper.

What material is BioPak cutlery series made of?

You are spoiled for choice: you can choose between disposable cutlery made of wood (birch wood) or paper fiber.

Why should you seal food?

Sealing offers multiple benefits in the foodservice industry. It keeps food fresh longer, preserves flavor and prevents food waste.

For whom is a sealing machine suitable?

Sealing is designed to prepare and package food hygienically. Sealing equipment is of interest to businesses that sell food directly or deliver it and want to ensure leak-proofness during transport.

Food service operations that offer take-out or delivery of food benefit from leak-proof packaging with sealed menu trays.

In the self-service sector, products covered with transparent sealing film allow the freshness and attractive presentation to catch the eye.

The system is perfect for use in commercial kitchens. Sealing makes your operations easier, whether you are delivering large quantities of delicatessen to the catering industry, organizing catering or delivering lunches to kindergartens, schools or companies.

What are the advantages of sealing food?

Sealing food has many benefits, including extending the shelf life of food and preventing rapid spoilage. Sealing food can also help preserve the taste, texture and nutritional value of the food. In addition, sealing food in vacuum-sealed bags or containers can also help save space during storage and make transportation easier. Overall, sealing food is an effective way to preserve it and ensure that it remains fresh and edible for a longer period of time.

Does BioPak Pluma disposable cutlery taste woody or rough on the tongue?

Good news for those with sensitive palates: BioPak Pluma disposable cutlery does not taste woody or feel rough on the tongue. The cutlery series is designed not to affect the taste and aroma of your food. That's why we named the product "Pluma," which derives from the Latin word for "feather" and pays homage to the feathery mouthfeel.

What is the advantage of paper fiber cutlery over plastic cutlery?

Although both types of cutlery are designed for single use, paper fiber cutlery (along with wooden cutlery) is an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic cutlery. Not only is it made from renewable resources, but it degrades much faster than plastic cutlery. In fact, paper fiber cutlery can be composted, which reduces waste and contributes to a circular economy (please note local disposal conditions).

The example of Germany shows how important sustainable disposable cutlery alternatives are. There, the legal situation is such that plastic cutlery has been completely withdrawn from circulation as part of the single-use plastic ban ordinance. For German restaurateurs and consumers, a switch to disposable cutlery made of wood or paper is therefore inevitable.

In general, paper cutlery is less prone to breakage and splintering than plastic cutlery and is therefore safer to use. The BioPak cutlery series "Pluma" was produced with the clear goal of protecting the environment while providing a great dining experience.

Is paper fiber cutlery unstable?

Of course, the disposable paper fiber cutlery is not as heavy, hard and durable as reusable metal cutlery, but in terms of stability you will be surprised. Our Pluma series is designed to skewer or cut even harder foods with ease. Generally speaking, paper fiber cutlery is not as prone to breaking or splintering as plastic or wooden cutlery, for example. Over time and with prolonged use of liquid foods, the paper will soften and become more elastic, but paper fiber cutlery will withstand a delicious snacking experience without issue.

Is there environmentally friendly disposable cutlery?

The clear answer is: Yes! Disposable cutlery is better than its reputation - especially when knives, forks and the like are made of renewable and biodegradable materials such as bamboo, paper or wood. These materials decompose naturally in the environment.
