Diode lamp: how to choose it correctly

Modern LED fluorescent lights are a new technology that actively conquers the market. Such luminaires are used in enterprises, in office buildings, they are suitable for everyday use. But it's sometimes difficult to choose a diode lamp. To do this, you need to understand their design and differences with conventional fluorescent lamps. The general in them, at first glance, is: a power source, a diffuser, a metal case and a ruler with LEDs. But in cheap models the case can be made like a raster light, the light will blind your eyes, since the LEDs are open. It is on their type that the price of the device depends.

Buying a diode lamp, you need to pay attention to the parameters on which depends the duration of the "life" of the device, for example, the power source and its manufacturer. The most reliable, high-quality and affordable LEDs are produced in Japan, for example by the firm "Nichia". You can also trust the famous brands "Cree", "Samsung", "Seoul Semiconductor" and "SemiLEDs". The products of these companies comply with the declared characteristics and have a long service life. Among domestic manufacturers it is possible to mention "ECOLIGHT".

With a quality lamp, the diffuser must be made of a 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, one must consider its power, pulsation, light flux level, color temperature, dimensions, efficiency. The manufacturer does not always in the catalogs provide the correct information about the product, describing the LEDs, and not the lamp itself. We must carefully study the technical documentation for the goods. The manufacturer is fully responsible for the information contained therein.

For suspended ceilings "Armstrong" in a residential apartment suitable built-in diode lamps that have a number of advantages. They are very reliable, they tolerate impact loads, vibration, they 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 low.

Using point diode lamps, it is possible to significantly reduce power consumption, they are designed for long-term operation (up to fifty thousand hours). In this regard, there is no need to change the burned elements frequently. Unlike incandescent and halogen lamps, LEDs allow you to reduce the cost of air conditioning. In the room where they are applied, a low temperature is maintained, since the lamps do not heat up and do not heat the air. Has a diode lamp and with a luminescence that is larger than a fluorescent lamp. Install it must only a specialist. At the same time, the connection scheme needs further elaboration. If the LED panels are installed in an office or production room, then they are able to increase the work capacity of workers. Since the diodes do not flicker, they do not cause people to feel tired, the concentration of attention increases.
