As soon as the production of LEDs reached industrially significant proportions, their widespread introduction began. The use of LEDs is so extensive these days that if you look around you will almost certainly catch something that has LEDs. What explains their popularity?

It's simple: the LED is a very efficient, safe, and inexpensive light source that meets many lighting needs, not inferior to either incandescent or neon lamps, and in fact, significantly surpassing them all. Where are the LEDs used, what are their areas of application? We will try to give an answer to this question here. First of all, pay attention to the fact that many LCD screens, for example, TV screens, monitors, displays of mobile phones, and various mobile gadgetshave LED backlight. This applies to both old models and the latest ...

Often in everyday life, a situation arises when the voltage in the network is unstable, or, as they say in common parlance, the light blinks. This phenomenon not only causes discomfort, but can also lead to failure of household electrical appliances, especially those that are sensitive to voltage surges. Therefore, it is very important in a short time to find the cause of this negative phenomenon and eliminate it. In this article, we will try to understand why the light blinks, and we will present the appropriate solutions to this problem.

One of the most common reasons that a light may blink is poor power supply. In this case, we are talking about an unstable voltage, the value of which changes stepwise. But also do not forget that the reason why the light may blink can also be a malfunction of a lamp or other household appliance that worked in an uncharacteristic ...

In bathrooms and other rooms with high humidity, lighting plays an important role in the interior, because it is thanks to it that the design is unique, since it is the light that emphasizes all its details. But when designing lighting systems in wet rooms, in addition to beauty, safety is also taken into account, because water procedures should not be accompanied by anxiety. For this reason, the fixtures here must be special, waterproof.

Today, in every store that sells lighting products, you can easily choose a moisture-resistant lamp. Such a lamp will come out somewhat more expensive than usual, however, you need to pay for safety anyway. But in return you will get confidence in the safety in your bathroom , and even if the family has small children, then you don’t have to worry...

With the advent of LEDs, back in the seventies, LED ceiling lighting began to gain more and more popularity. And if earlier radio amateurs experimented with a sharp spectrum of ordinary LEDs, where the choice of color was small, now, with the advent of more advanced LEDs, softer spectra, the scope for creativity has expanded significantly.

Now LED strips and special controllers are widely available, as well as power supplies for every taste, for any required power. Today, you can smoothly adjust the brightness and color, create light scenarios. In principle, any person who is knowledgeable in technology will be able to design and install LED illumination of a suspended or suspended ceiling.Most often, they implement one of four popular options: contoured diffused illumination, directional illumination, figured backlight ...

When designing a lighting system, after repair or construction of an office or residential premises, it is necessary to make calculations so that there is enough light. It does not matter whether ordinary incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps or LED lamps are used, it is required to obtain such a luminous flux as a result so that it provides comfortable conditions for a person.

If we are talking about replacing incandescent lamps with LED ones, then in principle there is no problem in choosing LED lamps for the corresponding luminous flux, there are tables for this, since the average luminous flux for typical incandescent lamps for each specific rating is known, and the luminous flux of LED lamps can also be easily recognized simply by reading the inscription on the package.But what to do if you want to get a modern lighting system based on LEDs ...

Despite the fact that track lights are an innovation, they have already gained popularity thanks to a number of indisputable advantages compared to conventional ceiling lights. So, track LED lamps are already widely used for decoration of offices, houses, industrial workplaces, shopping centers, etc. Their aesthetic appearance makes it easy to fit such lamps into any interior with the ability to adjust the contrast and gradation of light.

Leading manufacturers today have an extensive range of LED, halogen, metal halide, sodium and fluorescent track lights. Track lights differ in design, construction, color performance, type of reflectors and a number of other individual features. The track system of luminaires is formed by an aluminum busbar or a U-shaped conductor ...

Any light source is a source of light flux, and the larger the light flux falls on the surface of the illuminated object, the better this object is visible. And the physical quantity, numerically equal to the luminous flux incident on a unit area of ​​the illuminated surface, is called illumination.

Illumination is denoted by the symbol E, and its value is found by the formula E = Ф / S, where Ф is the light flux, and S is the area of ​​the illuminated surface. In the SI system, illumination is measured in Luxes (Lx), and one Lux is such illumination at which the luminous flux incident on one square meter of the illuminated body is equal to one Lumen. That is, 1 Lux = 1 Lumen / 1 Sq.m. As an example, here are some typical illumination values: a sunny day in the middle latitudes - 100,000 Lx, a cloudy day in the middle latitudes - 1000 Lx, a bright room illuminated by the sun ...

Lighting in any bath should not only be cozy and comfortable, but also completely safe. What is this security? First of all, it should be remembered that the fixtures for the bath should not only be heat-resistant, but also waterproof.

The degree of protection of the enclosure class IP54 and higher is quite suitable for the second parameter, but heat resistance up to 125 degrees must be indicated in the passport of the selected product. If both conditions are met, then lighting the bathhouse or sauna will be not only safe, but also reliable, regardless of whether you choose a very simple model of the lamp or expensive. If the lamp has a lampshade, then it must be made of heat-resistant and moisture-resistant material, as well as a diffuser. A ceramic case is one of the best solutions.Ceramic lamp with frosted glass will give an even soft light...
