The increasing level of energy consumption with a simultaneous rise in the cost of energy resources leads to the spread of new energy-saving technologies. Currently, there is an increase in sales of LED-based lighting products for household and industrial use, which are becoming increasingly affordable.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent lamps.Energy Savingwhen replacing such light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED ones, it reaches 2-8 times. In addition, switching to energy-efficient devices reduces operating and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of facilities and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy-saving characteristics of LED lamps
The design of the LED lamp, including a housing, an optical system and a crystal with semiconductor properties, allows you to convert electricity into light flux without unnecessary losses, thereby reducing energy consumption and ensuring significantenergy saving.
The service life of LED devices, while ensuring effective heat dissipation, reaches 60-100 thousand hours or more than 10 years. The operating time of incandescent lamps is on average 1 thousand hours. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumptionenergy savingwhen installing new lighting fixtures, it is noticeable even on the scale of a small manufacturing plant or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technologies fully recoup investments within a period of 1-2. 5 years.
Selecting LED devices with optimal characteristics
The modern lighting market offers LED devices with various characteristics and energy-saving indicators, which determineenergy savingwhen using devices.
When choosing a lamp, it is important to pay attention to the value of the luminous efficiency indicator, that is, the amount of luminous flux that the light source emits when consuming one watt of electrical energy. In order to maintain the level of illumination and maintain comfortable conditions at the facility, the luminous flux of the installed lamp must be selected not lower than this indicator for the device being replaced. When installing lamps, it is necessary to take into account that for incandescent lamps the luminous efficiency is 10-15 lm/W, for fluorescent devices - 65 lm/W, and modern LED devices - 110-150 lm/W.
