LED lamps with E40 socket are innovative lighting fixtures. They are distinguished by efficiency, profitability and durability. Such devices are characterized by a narrow field of use, since they are large and high power. Analog DRL 400 LED lamps with E40 base are the most environmentally friendly and less energy-intensive. Today the most famous and well-established manufacturers are Feron and Camelion.
general characteristics
LED lamps with a base E40 are a bulb, the inner surface of which is covered with a substance. It contributes to the creation of radiation, transforming into a stream of light. For a long time, such a base was installed in Soviet incandescent lamps, and today they produce energy-saving luminescent devices with it. The E40 lamp is inserted into a similar cartridge with a thread diameter of 40 mm. This option is the largest among devices with the same base. For this reason, lamps with a base E40 are called goliaths.
Varieties
Base E (Edison) is a screw element screwed into a cartridge. The presence of thread allows you to quickly install the lamp, while there are no restrictions on the installation of lamps of various types. The threaded holder can be screwed into a compact lighting fixture or a large-sized chandelier. Such a basement is highly recognized in street lighting. In the marking there are special numbers that indicate the diameter of the screw part of the holder. E40 is a large product and its diameter is 40 mm.
Accordingly, the lamp power will be quite high - up to 120 W. For LED lighting, this is very important, because in comparison with analogues with a power of 8 W, they can illuminate a fairly large area. The intensity of the light flux is provided by certain factors, among which:
- flask features - transparency level and shape;
- number and type of diodes used;
- power.
In powerful light sources with an E40 base, chips with various characteristics are used. The most popular type is considered SMD with different dimensions. The dimensions of the diode make it possible to determine the radiation intensity.
Device Forms
The most common forms of construction of LED lamps with E40 socket are:
- G. This is a round lamp, which is made in the form of small balls and large spherical devices.
- Candle in the wind, or CA. It has an attractive shape and is often used in interior decoration of apartments and offices.
- PAR and MR. These are reflectors that are equipped with flat surfaces.
- BR and R. These are reflectors of various sizes used in spotlighting objects.
- T. They are characterized by a tubular structure that is visually similar to an ear of corn.
Color temperature
LED lamps with E40 base have an important parameter - the temperature of the shade of the lighting elements. Manufacturers usually offer devices with cold and neutral light, as they are typically used in street lighting and industrial areas. The temperature indicator varies from 4000 K to 6000 K. Also, companies carry out individual orders. As practice has shown, E40 lamps are able to regulate the light temperature of 2700-8000 K. It is worth noting that the normal temperature in the room is 2600-3200 K - it is white warm, and 3700-4200 K - it is white natural.
Profitability and power
This type of lighting can have different shapes - spiral or U-shaped. The price of a LED lamp with a base E40 depends on this. The manufacturer increases the arcs or turns of the spiral, which increases the power of the device. The most compact lamps are ultimately capable of reaching a power of 250 watts, and this is similar to the power of an incandescent lamp of 1250 watts. Moreover, 15 watts is the average power of typical lamps with a base E40, which are available among a variety of other lighting devices. An important and most important quality of the lighting device, which positively distinguishes it from other devices, is profitability. LED lamps of 100 watts with E40 socket are characterized by a modified trigger system mechanism and high efficiency.
Benefits
Regardless of voltage, such lighting devices do not flicker and do not pulsate. These are the most powerful devices that are used in lighting roads, streets and highways. It is for this reason that external protection is important. The aluminum radiator that protects against overheating works best with this. Its absence leads to a significant drop in the light output of the LEDs.
The LED lamp is not afraid of the negative effects of the environment:
- temperature differences;
- atmospheric disasters;
- mechanical damage.
LED street lamps with E40 base operate at temperatures from +40 ° C to +50 ° C. Even with sharp changes in climatic conditions, they show excellent light output and last at least 10 years. They do not need constant maintenance and special disposal. Another indisputable advantage is that the lamps are characterized by a high-quality housing, which is made of thick polycarbonate with anti-vandal protection. This protects the lens from mechanical damage.
Structural features
The standard dimensions of the E40 LED lamp are 275 x 100 mm. For this reason, this device is advisable to install in large lamps and searchlights. A lamp is a unit that is composed of many LEDs. Each diode is mounted individually in a personal magnifier. Thanks to this structure, the device can function in different conditions, even when one LED stops working.
Such a design makes it possible to make the visual light as bright as possible, in comparison with gas discharge lamps. The only not very pleasant feature in such a situation is the diffused, that is, dim, light. The devices have a function to adjust the glow. It is ensured by the fact that in the manufacture of lamps, LEDs of various shades are used. Therefore, you can change the level of light radiation. E40 LED devices do not have any harmful components in their composition. This suggests that they are ideal for maintaining public health and good environmental conditions, since the lamps do not need special disposal. This is its undeniable advantage over many modern energy-saving devices.
Fields of application
LED lamps with a large E40 base are actively replacing other types in street lighting. They are used to illuminate the territory at kindergartens, educational institutions and residential buildings. The property of these products is their efficiency, which is especially important when lighting workshops, factory premises and industrial zones. E40 lamps are constantly used in car services, shopping centers, warehouses and other facilities. One of the important functions is the illumination of architectural structures, squares, city parks and cultural monuments. In addition, they are an excellent solution to the issue of lighting highways, highways and pedestrian zones, as well as places where there is a large crowd of people - transport interchanges and rings, highways and squares.
Due to the fact that E40 LED lamps help minimize energy consumption and function for at least 10 years, they are increasingly chosen by users.
