LED lights cooling solution

LED lights cooling solution Some LED solutions use fans to help cool. Some use a larger heat sink. What is better? Do you have to worry about the fans? Most of LED lighting companes has been selling LED solutions since 2008. Many of our solutions use fans and many of our solutions include large heat sinks. Is one better than the other? Understand active cooling A fan is nothing more than active cooling. It circulates air over the heat sink, vents hot air and, in the case of a closed luminaire, such as a shoebox, distributes heat in the luminaire shell. This technique allows the use of a smaller heat sink. In some cases, the LED solution would not fit into the existing projector if a passive, fanless solution was used. Think about laptops, computers, gaming systems and most current electronics. Most, if not all, use fans. This idea of ​​using fans to eliminate heat is not new. Since all the years that we sell LED solutions, we have only encountered a fan failure. The idea that fans

Calculation of cost savings for outdoor lighting

Calculation of cost savings for outdoor lighting Have you heard and probably even thought you can save money by choosing LED technology? But how much? This tip will guide you in the calculations What do you currently have for lighting? Understanding what your current lights are is the key? 400W? 1000W? Ballasts? Keep in mind that most HID lights have a ballast, and that a ballast consumes 15% more than the bulb consumes alone. So, if you have 400W HPS lamps, chances are you will consume at least 460 watts per device. What will be your new LED solution? As stated in many previous tips, it's easy to switch to LED technology if you return ghost candles in watts. Determine the appropriate lighting levels, then find the best solution to meet your needs. This is how you get to your new fixture and the watts it consumes. Put all together So, if you go through the first two steps (trick - we can make it easy), how do you calculate your savings? Suppose, for example, that you

Discounts for LED lights

Discounts for LED lights Discounts can reduce the cost of buying if you are in the LED market. Here are 5 tips to remember about LEDs and discounts. 1. Discounts are granted by utility companies Whether you qualify for a discount has everything to do with your utility company - the same company that you buy electricity. They set the rebate programs, the amount of the rebate and the amount they are prepared each year to distribute as a rebate. So it's best to do the research (read Tip 5 to find out how to find it easily) 2. Discounts apply to Design Lights Consortium products Most utilities will only see rebates on qualified products under the DLC program. Look for the DLC symbol on the most of manufacture company website to find out which products have been qualified. DLC products are all guaranteed. 3. DLC has 2 programs: Standard and Premium The Design Lights consortium defines the standard and the lamps are subject to the approval of one of these stand

What is CRI?

What is CRI? IRC, or color rendering index, is a standard for measuring the quality of light. More precisely, with what precision do the colors appear under a source of artificial light? So what do you need? Here are some tips to help you make the right decision to choose the right IRC for your application. First of all, rest assured, LED is a high quality light source. Compared to some of the lights we are used to in the past, metal halides, high pressure sodium, low pressure sodium, LEDs, produce high quality light. And we defend the saying: High quality lumens = less lumens. In other words, you need less light when it is more precise. However, lets talk about numbers. The IRC is a scale between 0 and 100. 100 is daylight, the norm of sunlight. Artificial light always tries to reproduce the quality of the sunlight. IRC affects how colors are represented in light. More specifically, it really affects the red color. Looking at a bowl of CRI 70 gum balls and the same bowl un

Optics for Highbays LED lights Read it before logging in and buying high floors for your store or plant. Choose the wrong optics and you may end up with a lighting nightmare. So, what is an optics? This is the way you can manipulate the light to distribute it in a different way from the native output. • You may want to reduce the beam due to high ceilings. • You may want a wider distribution because the design of your light is not optimal. • Parts of your installation may require narrower and wider beams. So, what should I choose? It all starts with a lighting design. If you have a scale drawing of your area, you can import it into the  lighting design software which is from many best LED manufacture company providing online. They define the scale, determine the optimal fc measure and they will trying to achieve, and begin the design process. Two things will tell them when they reach the goal. 1. They got the average number of synthetic candles you
