The ever-increasing level of energy consumption with the simultaneous rise in the price of energy resources leads to the spread of new energy-saving technologies. Currently, the sale of LED-based lighting products for home and industrial use, which are becoming more and more affordable, is on the rise.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent light bulbs.Energy savingwhen replacing such light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED, it reaches 2-8 times. In addition, switching to energy-efficient devices reduces operation and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of buildings and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy saving characteristics of LED lamps
The design of the LED lamp, including the housing, optical system and crystal with semiconductor properties, allows you to convert electrical energy into light flow without unnecessary losses, which reduces energy consumption and ensures a significantenergy saving.
The lifetime of LED devices, while ensuring efficient heat dissipation, reaches 60-100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The working time of incandescent lamps is an average of 1 thousand hours. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumptionenergy savingwhen installing new lighting fixtures, this is noticeable even in the scope of a smaller production or business facility. Devices based on LED technologies fully compensate for investments in a period of 1-2. 5 years.
Selection of LED devices with optimal characteristics
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with different characteristics and energy saving indicators, which determineenergy savingwhen using the devices.
When choosing a lamp, it is important to pay attention to the value of the light efficiency indicator, that is, the amount of luminous flux that the light source emits when consuming one watt of electricity. In order to maintain the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions in the facility, the luminous flux of the built-in lamp must be selected not lower than this indicator for the device being replaced. When installing bulbs, it is necessary to take into account that for incandescent lamps the light efficiency is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent devices - 65 lm/W, and for modern LED devices - 110-150 lm/W.
