Increasing energy consumption coincides with the increase in the cost of energy sources leading to the proliferation of new energy saving technologies. Currently, sales of LED-based lighting products for home and industrial use are increasing, and prices are becoming more and more affordable.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent lights.Energy savingwhen replacing such light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LEDs, it reaches 2-8 times. Additionally, switching to energy-efficient equipment reduces operating and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of facilities, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy saving properties of LED lights
The design of the LED lamp, including the housing, optical system and crystal with semiconductor properties, allows you to convert electricity into luminous flux without unnecessary losses, thereby reducing energy consumption andsubstantial guaranteeenergy saving.
The lifespan of the LED device while ensuring effective heat dissipation reaches 60-100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The average operating time of an incandescent lamp is 1 thousand hours. Thanks to its reliability, durability and low energy consumptionenergy savingWhen installing new lighting fixtures, this is noticeable even at the scale of a small manufacturing plant or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technology will fully recover the investment within a period of 1-2. 5 years.
Select LED devices with optimal characteristics
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with various energy saving characteristics and indicators, determiningenergy savingwhen using the device.
When choosing a lamp, it is important to pay attention to the value of the luminous efficiency indicator, that is, the amount of luminous flux that the light source emits when consuming one watt of electrical energy. To maintain the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions at the premises, the luminous flux of the installed lamps must be chosen not lower than this indicator for the device being replaced. When installing lamps, it should be borne in mind that for incandescent lamps, the luminous efficiency is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent devices - 65 lm/W, and for modern LED devices - 110-150lm/W.
