Lighting using LEDs - the most promising area in the field of lighting. The variety of models of LED fully adapted to domestic conditions.
How are LEDs?
LED (light emitting diode) means "light emitting diode". A diode made of semiconductor materials. When current flows, semiconductors produce ultraviolet radiation. This radiation is converted to white light through a fluorescent coating diode.
There is no heating filament in incandescent lamps. New process for the preparation of light also differs from the energy-saving light sources where the electrical current is passed through the mercury vapor.
LED light bulb are power efficient design, moreover, all models compatible with the usual accessories (for screwing cartridges lamps, chandeliers, lamps, etc.).
LED variety in shape
- standard form - the appearance and structure of classic incandescent bulbs, such designs are perfect for the home fixtures.
- decorative - candles and balloons from the mirrors to the lamps can replace decorative lighting with better characteristics.
- capsule - replacement capsule halogen bulbs.
- reflectors - concentrate light in a small area to produce a bright spot of light for local lighting.
- point - Replacement galogenok in spotlights.
- linear - replacement of fluorescent tubes.
advantages of LEDs
What makes LEDy an excellent choice with the purchase of new light sources in the house?
- energy efficiency - up to 90% more economical than incandescent lamps;
- durability - an average of 25,000 hours;
- instant access to the preset mode while turning (not required on the gradual heating time);
- good color rendering - Ra> 80;
- little heat;
- frequent on-off does not affect the durability;
- ecological cleanliness - LEDy not contain lead and mercury;
- possibility of use at low temperatures;
- strength - these lamps have fragile components.
LED lamp is initially more expensive than those in power fluorescent lamps, but they are more durable, consume less power (90%) than incandescent lamps with an equivalent light output. A typical light bulb in 4W corresponds to the classical 40 watt incandescent lamp!
Despite the low power consumption, LEDs do not lag behind in brightness, they emit the same amount of light as traditional bulbs.
In the transition to LED lighting is a significant amount of savings through low power consumption. The main advantage of LEDov - durability. You do not have to change them often. As soon as you move on LED lighting, you immediately begin to save on electricity bills.
additional Features
LEDy available in three shades: warm, neutral and cold.
Warm light (2700K), it is typically used in home and completely replace incandescent lamps. Neutral (4100K) suitable for general illumination of residential premises. Cool (6400K) associated with fluorescent lights in offices or shops.
