LED lamp E14 is one of the most popular models among all products developed on the basis of LED lighting technology. It is a great alternative to conventional incandescent bulbs and competes well with LED bulbs. Due to their economical energy consumption, long service life and bright lighting, such lamps can increasingly be seen as the main source of light in various premises.
Fields of application
The human eye responds best to sunlight. Therefore, the more light emitted by an electric lamp is close to natural, the more comfortable our sensations are during a long working day. It is the LED lamp LED E14, thanks to its soft light, that can significantly reduce the strain on the eyes and thereby protect a person from fatigue.
The creation of general lighting in residential premises, the organization of integrated industrial, emergency, street lighting, the use as obstruction lights, the creation of various types of lighting - in all these areas it is possible to efficiently use energy-saving E14 LED lamps.
Today, E14 LED lamps, the price of which ranges from 100 to 150 rubles, are available to the majority of consumers. Such lamps are installed in almost all major retail chains, public and entertainment venues. Entrepreneurs understand that it is more profitable to install LED lighting at an affordable cost than once again burdening themselves with constant maintenance and the replacement of standard incandescent lamps.
E14 LED lamp: parameters
E14 LED energy-saving lamps are distinguished by the following characteristics:
- socle type: E14;
- working voltage: 220 V;
- glow: warm 3200 K;
- case temperature in working condition: no more than 40 ° C;
- service life: about 50,000 hours;
- the ability to adjust the brightness.
The advantages of LED lamps E14
The LED lamp E14 7W is designed as an innovative analogue of standard incandescent lamps with a type of cap E14, and is also able to compete with previously widespread luminescent light sources.
The main advantages of LED lamps, in comparison with the above lighting technologies, are:
- Consumption of less electricity.
- The presence of a more detailed angle of illumination, the absence of the shadow effect in the lighting zone.
- The product of the brightest light with the possibility of its regulation.
- Truly impressive lifetime with no need for replacement.
- The ability to maintain a stable operating temperature.
- Lack of substances harmful to health and potentially dangerous components.
The disadvantages of LED lamps E14
Despite its innovative status and the widest range of obvious advantages, like any other technology created by human hands, an LED lamp has its drawbacks. First of all, it is worth highlighting a decrease in the efficiency and duration of service when used in luminaires manufactured with non-compliance with the requirements for heat removal.
Moreover, a sharp reduction in the life of the LED light source can be observed with prolonged use in an environment with a temperature of about 60 ° C and above.
Ultimately, certain inconvenience to the user may be caused by the presence of too bright, blinding lighting in cases where there are no special means for diffusing, regulating the level of light and protecting eyesight.
Cartridge selection
Despite the fact that the E14 LED lamp has the ability to maintain a stable operating temperature, and also has protection against overheating, it is better to choose ceramic, porcelain cartridges when choosing this lighting option.
Porcelain cartridges have a longer life compared to plastic counterparts. The most common ceramic lampholders for E14 lamps consist of a ceramic body attached to the screw contacts of copper or brass petals, a spring and a skirt where the base is screwed.
Often the skirt is the most problematic element of the cartridge. Choosing a cartridge with a soft aluminum skirt can cause a lot of trouble. The compliance of such a metal leads to the appearance of small burrs when twisting and twisting the lamp. Often, this element of the cartridge simply remains on the base when unscrewing.
In order for the E14 LED lamp to serve for as long as possible, it is better to choose a ceramic cartridge with a skirt made of steel or stainless steel under it. At the same time, you should avoid buying cartridges with yellow metal elements, which is typical for parts made of the least durable and short-lived anodized aluminum.
Additional qualities of LED lamps E14
The LED lamp E14 (candle) is characterized by a whole set of additional user characteristics. Among them it is worth noting:
- the most efficient consumption of electric energy along with its low consumption;
- almost complete independence of proper operation from power surges and power surges;
- the highest resistance to periodicity of inclusion and switching off;
- protection against mechanical damage and vibration;
- lack of flicker effect.
