Over the past 10 years, significant changes have occurred in the energy sector, one of these changes are LEDs. They are increasingly replaced by incandescent lamps, they create serious competition for economical lamps, LEDs are everywhere now. They are decorated with shop windows, vehicles, buildings and even trees in parks. It is difficult to imagine lighting without semiconductor LEDs. They replaced incandescent bulbs in headlights of cars, and in hand lanterns, and also when lighting our houses.
Already no one is surprised by such a lighting device as a diode spotlight. Such floodlights received their popularity as a result of high efficiency, reliability, and long service life. A diode spotlight is convenient for equipping entrance halls, courtyards, building facades, fountains, billboards, while creating a variety of lighting effects and decorative lighting. The main element of such a searchlight is a semiconductor device - LED (Light Emitting Diode) - which converts the energy of electric current into the energy of light radiation. At its core, LED is a semiconductor crystal on a substrate, a housing with contact pins and an optical system.
Diode floodlight - the main advantages
The main advantage is the low power consumption of LEDs. Such floodlights are resistant to mechanical damage: shock, vibration. Almost do not heat up, heat transfer occurs through the body of the product. The operating life declared by the manufacturer reaches 100,000 hours. Devices are quite simple in adjusting the intensity of the glow. Among other advantages - high contrast, a wide variety of colors, directivity of radiation and operating modes.
Street and indoor diode spotlights are manufactured in a special monolithic aluminum case, this increases the usability of such products, and is also an anti-vandal protection of the device.
Spotlight Specifications
Dimensions, weight, supply voltage, degree of protection, power - all this characterizes the diode floodlights. The price of these lighting devices depends primarily on their power. In addition, the number of colors emitted affects the cost of the spotlights. Before choosing a diode floodlight, you need to understand that there are many types of them, they differ not only in the main characteristics listed above, but also in secondary, but no less important. For example, by the degree of protection against external influences (waterproof, dustproof), by the class of protection against electric shock, by the width of the illuminated zone, by the nature of the current, by the range of operating temperature and others.
The buyer needs to decide where such a spotlight will be mounted, which zone will need to be illuminated, what color of lighting is needed and much more. The price of the product will depend on this. For example, if you plan to place a diode floodlight inside the warehouse, then for a characteristic such as protection against external influences, it is enough to choose a dustproof floodlight. If it will be placed on the street, then it is necessary to purchase a waterproof one, but if you planned to arrange the illumination of pools or fountains, then you can not do without waterproof floodlights.
Prices for LED spotlights in stores, depending on the characteristics, range from 450 rubles to 60 thousand rubles.
