The increasing level of energy consumption, together with the simultaneous increase in the cost of energy resources, leads to the diffusion of new energy-saving technologies. There is currently an increase in sales of LED-based lighting products for home and industrial use, which are becoming more affordable.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent lamps.Saving energyby replacing such light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LEDs, it reaches 2 to 8 times. Additionally, switching to energy-efficient devices reduces operation 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, which includes a housing, an optical system and a crystal with semiconductor properties, allows electricity to be converted into luminous flux without unnecessary losses, thus reducing energy consumption and ensuring significantenergy saving.
The service life of LED devices, while ensuring effective heat dissipation, reaches 60 to 100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The operating time of incandescent lamps is on average one thousand hours. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumption. energy savingWhen installing new lighting fixtures, it is noticeable even on the scale of a small manufacturing plant or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technologies fully recover investments within a period of 1 to 2. 5 years.
Selection of LED devices with optimal characteristics.
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with various characteristics and energy saving indicators, which determineenergy savingwhen using devices.
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 it consumes one watt of electrical energy. To maintain the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions in the facility, the luminous flux of the installed lamp should be selected not lower than this indicator for the device being replaced. When installing lamps, it is necessary to take into account that for incandescent lamps the luminous efficiency is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent devices - 65 lm/W, and for modern LED devices - 110-150 lm/W.
