The scope of LEDs is gradually expanding, if earlier they were mainly used for indication, now powerful LEDs are used in traffic lights and billboards. They are widely used in the automotive industry, brake lights based on LEDs have worked well. A relatively new direction is their use in lighting. They are used in lamps and searchlights for road lighting, and there are also lamps for lighting both apartments and large areas, for example, salons, restaurants, bars or cinemas.
The excellent operational properties and excellent characteristics of such devices allow them to compete with previously used lighting devices. They consume less power and are reliable. Subject to the observance of certain parameters when powering such devices, they do not fail, and for a long time their luminosity remains at the initial level. Powerful LEDs are a great analogue of the luminaries that are a thing of the past. The latter work on completely different principles.
Due to their unique qualities, which favorably distinguish powerful LEDs from all other lighting devices, they are gaining increasing popularity and have long been in the sphere of interests of manufacturers.
- Energy saving makes it possible to save decent amounts and fits well with the policies of many states.
- The quality of light distinguishes these devices from the total mass, their Lumen / Watt ratio is the highest on the planet.
- Directional luminous flux allows to simplify the design of lamps and spotlights due to the lack of reflectors. It also affects the cost of lighting devices.
- A long service time implies a lack of maintenance, by installing lighting devices based on powerful LEDs, you can save on repairs.
- Powerful LEDs are produced in a conveyor way, and the technology for their creation is constantly being improved. This leads to a gradual reduction in the cost of these devices.
A wide range of radiation allows them to be used in various areas of our lives. Powerful infrared LEDs performed well in night vision devices. They provide the illumination necessary for the operation of these devices.
In addition, they are used in surveillance cameras and provide a good overview in the dark. Such cameras are perfectly visible in the infrared range. Using such devices, there is no need to spend many kilowatts of electricity and illuminate large protected areas.
The capabilities of these devices are not yet fully exhausted. Currently, developments are underway aimed at increasing the radiated power and at the same time reducing the power consumed. In addition, devices have been developed and are being improved where powerful LEDs have a curved surface. This allows you to diffuse a narrow light flux, making it more pleasing to the eye.
