The increasing energy consumption and the simultaneous increase in the cost of energy sources lead to the spread of new energy-saving technologies. Currently, sales of LED-based lighting products for household and industrial use, which are becoming more and more affordable, are increasing.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent light bulbs.Power savingwhen replacing such light sources and halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED lamps, it reaches 2-8 times. In addition, switching to energy-saving devices reduces operation and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of facilities and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy-saving features of LED lamps
The design of the LED lamp, including the housing, the optical system and the crystal with semiconductor properties, allows the conversion of electric current into light current without unnecessary losses, thereby reducing energy consumption and significantly ensuring.power saving.
In addition to ensuring efficient heat dissipation, the lifetime of LED devices reaches 60-100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The operating time of incandescent lamps is 1000 hours on average. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumptionpower savingeven in the size of a small manufacturing plant or commercial facility, it can be noticed when installing new lighting fixtures. Devices based on LED technology fully pay for themselves in 1-2. 5 years.
Selection of LED devices with optimal characteristics
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with various characteristics and energy saving indicators that determinepower savingwhen using tools.
When choosing a lamp, it is important to pay attention to the value of the light efficiency index, that is, how much luminous flux the light source emits when one watt of electrical energy is consumed. In order to preserve the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions, the luminous flux of the installed lamp must be chosen no lower than this indicator for the device to be replaced. When installing the lamps, it should be taken into account that the luminous efficacy of incandescent lamps is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent lamps - 65 lm/W, and for modern LED lamps - 110-150 lm/W.
