Modern LED daylight lamps are a new technology that is actively conquering the market. Such lamps are used in enterprises, in office premises, they are also suitable for domestic use. But choosing a diode lamp is sometimes difficult. To do this, you need to understand their design and differences with conventional fluorescent lamps. At first glance, they have in common: a power source, a diffuser, a metal case, and rulers with LEDs. But in cheap models, the case can be made like a raster lamp, the light will blind your eyes, since the LEDs are open. The price of the device depends on their type.
When buying a diode lamp, you need to pay attention to the parameters on which the duration of the "life" of the device depends, for example, the power source and its manufacturer. The most reliable, high-quality and affordable LEDs are produced in Japan, for example by the company "Nichia". You can also trust the well-known brands of "Cree", "Samsung", "Seoul Semiconductor" and "SemiLEDs". The products of these companies meet the declared characteristics and have a long service life. Among domestic manufacturers, ECOLITE can be mentioned.
For a quality luminaire, the diffuser should be made of lighting polycarbonate. If other material was used, then after three or four years of operation, it may become cloudy.
Considering the characteristics that a diode lamp has, it is necessary to consider its power, ripple, light flux level, color temperature, size, efficiency. The manufacturer does not always provide the correct product information in the catalogs, describing the LEDs, and not the lamp itself. It is necessary to carefully study the technical documentation for the product. The manufacturer is fully responsible for the information contained in it.
For Armstrong suspended ceilings in a residential apartment, recessed diode lights are suitable, which have several advantages. They are very reliable, tolerate shock loads, vibration, and have compact dimensions. The brightness of the glow can be controlled using a special remote control. An important characteristic is their absolute safety, since the voltage is very small.
Using point diode lights, you can significantly reduce energy consumption, they are designed for long-term operation (up to fifty thousand hours). In this regard, there is no need to often replace burned-out elements. Unlike incandescent and halogen lamps, LEDs can reduce the cost of air conditioning. In the room where they are used, a low temperature is maintained, since the lamps do not glow and do not heat the air. It has a diode lamp and with a greater brightness than a fluorescent lamp. Only a specialist must install it. At the same time, the connection diagram needs additional refinement. If LED panels are installed in an office or industrial building, then they can increase the working ability of workers. Since the diodes do not flicker, they do not cause people to feel tired, their concentration is increased.
