With the simultaneous increase in the cost of energy resources, the increasing level of energy consumption leads to the spread of new energy-saving technologies. Currently, there is an increase in the sale of LED-based lighting products for household and industrial use, and it is becoming more and more affordable.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent bulbs.Energy savingit reaches 2-8 times when replacing such light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED. In addition, switching to energy-efficient appliances reduces operating 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 case, the optical system and the crystal with semiconductor properties, allows to convert the electrical energy into light flow without unnecessary losses, thereby reducing energy consumption and significantly providing.energy saving.
The service life of LED devices, providing effective heat dissipation, reaches 60-100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The average working life of incandescent lamps is 1 thousand hours. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumptionenergy savingnoticeable when installing new lighting fixtures, even on the scale of a small manufacturing plant or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technologies fully return investments within 1-2, 5 years.
Selection of LED devices with optimal characteristics
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with various characteristics and energy saving indicatorsenergy savingwhen using the devices.
When choosing a lamp, you need to pay attention to the value of the light efficiency indicator, that is, the amount of light flux emitted by the light source while consuming one watt of electricity. In order to maintain the level of illumination in the facility and maintain comfortable conditions, the luminous flux of the installed lamp should be selected not lower than this indicator for the device being changed. When installing lamps, it should be taken into account that the light efficiency for incandescent lamps is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent devices 65 lm/W, and for modern LED devices 110-150 lm/W.
