LED lampor or light emitting diodes are well known to everyone as miniature lights (usually red or green), used in audio and video equipment and home appliances. To understand why this little "fire" are predicting a great future, a closer look at their structure, characteristics, principles and history of the creation and development.
Advantages of LED lampor
In addition to high luminous efficiency, low power consumption and the possibility of any color light, LED lampor have a number of other remarkable properties.The absence of the filament due to the nonthermal nature of the LED lampa radiation leads to a fantastic life. Manufacturers declare LED lampa life of up to 100 thousand hours, or 11 years of continuous operation - period, comparable with the life cycle of many lighting installations. The absence of a glass bulb determines the very high mechanical strength and reliability.Low heat and low voltage ensures a high level of safety, and inertialess makes LED lampor indispensable when you need a high speed (for example, brake lights). Subminiaturization integrated light distribution and determine other equally important advantages. Lights based on LED lampor are surprisingly compact, flat and easy to install.
LongTech: LED lampa in architecture
Perhaps the most interesting - is the process of invasion of LED lampa technology into "traditional" lighting. It started with plants that do not require high levels of illumination: Duty and emergency lighting, interior lighting at night, signs and plaques, "marking" coverage. Saturated color LED "light bullets" allows the use of LED lampor for color space zoning, creating color accents. The combination of translucent structures (windows, wall panels, glass furniture) with a flexible linear LED lampa modules allows you to create glowing and changing colors of the form. The use of subminiature light sources to create a "alternative" bright light images of familiar objects for the interior. With increasing light output and LED lampa devices cheaper "expansion" applies not only to local but also on general lighting, which occupy a leading position while traditional halogen bulbs (living quarters) and fluorescent (office space).
The fact that during the implementation of the idea of ??�?rtistic lighting fountain clear preference was given to this light-emitting diodes, lighting designers, developers, due to various reasons. First of all, the intensity of the colored light beams emitted by specially designed for this project LED lampa lights, greatly exceeds the brightness of halogen lamps with colored filters.
In addition, the colors of these filters is very limited, while the various combinations of primary colors in the LED lampa matrix can receive up to 16 million of various shades. In addition, color filters do not withstand the powerful radiation of halogen lamps and quickly fade. The advantage is also clearly on the side of light emitting diodes and in terms of purity of the emitted light. Another argument in favor of LED lampor was their absolute resistance to multiple on and off, by which, in fact, creates lighting effects.A similar mode of halogen lamps dramatically reduces their lifespan. Yes, andat a constant load, the lamps fail at least 10 times faster than LED lampor. In contrast to the powerful low-voltage halogen lamps, low-power LED lampor (power consumption - 6W) practically does not endanger the operation of the water.In general, LED lampa illumination system - an expensive option compared to the same "halogen" alternative. However, this only applies to non-recurring costs of production and assembly. According to experts, the LED option will inevitably pay for itself during the operation and will almost fifteen times the savings.
