The growing level of energy consumption with a simultaneous increase in the price of energy resources leads to the spread of new energy-saving technologies. There is currently a growth in sales of LED-based lighting products for domestic and industrial use, which are becoming more and more affordable.
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 LEDs, reaches 2-8 times. In addition, switching to energy-efficient devices reduces operation and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of facilities and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy-saving characteristics of LED lamps
The design of the LED lamp, including a housing, an optical system and a crystal with semiconductor properties, allows you to convert electricity into a luminous flux without unnecessary losses, thereby reducing energy consumption and providing significantsaving energy.
The service life of LED devices, while providing effective 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 consumptionsaving energywhen installing new lighting fixtures, it is noticeable even on the scale of a small manufacturing or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technology fully recover 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 that determinesaving energywhen using 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 electrical energy. In order to maintain the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions in the facility, the luminous flux of the installed lamp must be selected not lower than this indicator for the device being replaced. When installing lamps, it is necessary to keep in mind that for incandescent lamps the light efficiency is 10-15 lm / W, for fluorescent devices - 65 lm / W, and modern LED devices - 110-150 lm / W.
