Advantages of LED Lighting

The efficiency of LED lighting systems is no longer in doubt, it is for this reason that it is increasingly LEDs that serve as light sources in many areas, both in industry and in everyday life. Thanks to the use of LEDs, the energy consumption for lighting is reduced up to 10 times compared to incandescent lamps. However, economy is not the only advantage of LED lighting.

The light output of the LEDs reaches 110 Lm / W and much more, while the luminous efficiency limit for a conventional incandescent lamp is only 15 Lm / W, for an energy-saving fluorescent lamp - 70 Lm / W, and for a metal halide lamp of average power - a maximum of 90 Lm / W .

In addition, the life of LEDs as light sources reaches 100,000 hours, that is, 100 times greater than the guaranteed lifetime of an average incandescent lamp, amounting to only 1000 hours.

Compared with the same discharge lamps, the brightness of the LEDs can be easily adjusted using the driver, while the efficiency will not decrease.

The driver is also used to control the stability of LED systems to power surges, because the LED driver is a stabilized pulse converter, and the voltage on the LEDs themselves is always maintained at the desired level, even when the supply voltage drops to 120 volts or when increasing to 280 volts.

LED spotlights and lamps can be operated without problems in a fairly wide temperature range - from -60 ° C to + 60 ° C, while instantly igniting in full force, which is impossible to achieve from fluorescent lamps.

For this reason, LED lights are indispensable as light sources for billboards, where they give high-quality bright light in any weather.

In addition, the absence of an incandescent filament and the presence of polycarbonate glass give the LEDs vibration resistance and impact resistance. Degrees of protection up to IP68 are generally available here.

The color temperature of the LEDs can be selected from a wide range from warm yellow to cold white, from 2600K to 10000K on a color temperature scale. Such a wide range of available color temperatures makes LED lighting acceptable for any room, both for residential and office, educational, industrial, and, of course, for street lighting.

Thanks special controllers You can achieve a smooth adjustment of not only the brightness, but also the color of the glow.

When illuminating buildings, courtyards, warehouses and other vast territories, the high contrast that LEDs give is important, illuminating objects very high quality, giving high definition for human perception. It’s important to note the high color rendering indexranging from 75 to 85 Ra.

LED lamps do not produce sounds at all, unlike the same fluorescent lamps, and therefore are simply irreplaceable in hospitals, educational institutions, in libraries, where silence is given great importance.

The high degree of safety of LEDs in many of its aspects is particularly noteworthy. LED equipment is low voltage, that is, the risk of electric shock is minimized. Low heat prevents the risk of fire.

There are no low-frequency pulsations of light inherent in fluorescent and gas-discharge lamps. There is no electromagnetic interference. There are no infrared and harmful ultraviolet components in the spectrum. In the end, it is important that the LEDs do not contain mercury at all, and therefore they can be disposed of without hassle and material costs.
