Top 8 benefits of LED lighting

Top 8 benefits of LED lighting 1. Long service life LED lighting distinguishes itself from other types of lighting by its long lifespan. LEDs and diodes have an excellent operational life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours. This translates into continuous use of at 50%. If you let the LED fixture burn for 8 hours a day, it would take approximately 20 years before you have to replace the LED lamps. LEDs are also different from standard lighting. They do not really have burnout and stop working, as with light bulbs for example. 2. Energy efficient The LED lighting is currently the most energy-efficient solution on the market, with an average efficiency between 80% and 90%. This means that about 80% of all electrical energy is converted to light, while about 20% is lost energy and is therefore converted to other forms of energy such as heat.  With traditional light bulbs, which only have an energy efficiency of 20%, 80% of the electricity is lost as heat energy. Imagine the follow

Is LED lighting dimmable?

Is LED lighting dimmable? Yes, LED lighting is easy to dim, especially with the right LED dimmer. With dimmable LED lighting there are a few points of attention: Only LED lighting that is specifically designated as 'dimmable LED lighting ' is suitable for this, look in the title or under 'specifications' at the product level. LED lighting has very low wattage. It is important that the total connected power in watts approaches the start of the dimming range. The dimming range is often specified on the packaging or on the front plate of the dimmer LED and Halogen lamps dim curve If you reduce the power of a halogen lamp by 50%, then the halogen lamp is almost off, the LED lamp still gives 50% of its light quantity. This means that many dimmers that are now used for halogen lamps are difficult to fully dim LED lamps. LED lamp: electrical properties and dimmers The electronics in an LED lamp base have different electrical properties than an incandescent lamp or

OLED as a light source

OLED as a light source An organic light-emitting diode, commonly used in the form of the acronym OLED, is a light source in the family of semiconductor light sources. This family consists of inorganic LEDs (LED), organic LEDs (OLED) and lasers. While an LED is a bright point source , an OLED is a large surface spotlight . OLED technology is mainly known as the new technology for television and screens for smartphones and tablets. But the OLED technique is also used in other ways. The bright light of OLED technology can perfectly function as the lighting in the home or possibly for companies. The OLED lighting is many times more energy-efficient than, for example, the energy that a light bulb consumes. OLED lifetime What is quite normal with light sources, they degrade over time. This reduces the light intensity and this also happens with the OLED lighting. A lifetime of more than 1000 hours is reported for white polymer OLEDs and more than 10,000 hours for white small molecul

Save with LED lighting

Save with LED lighting LED lighting is increasingly being used to replace other types of lamps. LED lights are increasingly being used not only in the house and in the garden, but street lighting and agriculture are also increasingly using them. Nowadays, LED lamps are also made that can be used for cars. If you are not yet using LED lighting , you may still be wondering why would I use LED lighting? Below a number of advantages are mentioned that make people choose to use LED lighting. Cost-saving with LED lighting Switching to LED lighting saves costs. A light bulb consumes a lot more watts than an LED bulb . Where an incandescent lamp consumes 25 watts per hour, an LED lamp consumes only 2 watts and yet the same performance is achieved. At the moment the price of one kWh is. Suppose we let a light bulb burn for 1000 hours, this will cost. If we let a LED lamp burn for 1000 hours, this will only cost. This is a big difference and especially if you have a big house where many

The future of LED lighting

The future of LED lighting When you want to redesign your living room, the internet is a good source for original living room ideas. You will soon discover that lighting is a very important part of your interior. That is probably also precisely the reason why you came across this website. But how far has LED lighting actually been developed? Is it really always as difficult as many people claim? And what is the future of LED lighting now? This article provides answers to these questions. The LED lighting is developing fast Although according to many, the development of LED lighting has not gone very smoothly, it is still quite fast. The lighting is becoming more energy-friendly, and at the same time even more stable. In this way LED lamps to contribute well to a lower energy bill. In addition, they provide a beautiful way of lighting. A development that now seems to be popular is the non-replaceable LED bulbs . This means that it is no longer possible to replace the lamp. On
