The increasing level of energy consumption with a simultaneous increase 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 domestic and industrial use, which are becoming increasingly affordable.
Many European countries have laws to phase out incandescent light bulbs.Energy savingwhen replacing these light sources, as well as halogen and fluorescent lamps with LED, it reaches 2 to 8 times. Furthermore, switching to energy-efficient devices reduces operation and maintenance costs, improves the environmental safety of facilities, and reduces carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy-saving features 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 luminous 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 an average of 1 thousand hours. Thanks to reliability, durability and low energy consumptionenergy savingwhen installing new luminaires, this is noticeable even on the scale of a small factory or commercial facility. Devices based on LED technologies fully recoup their investments within 1 to 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. To maintain the level of lighting and comfortable conditions in the premises, 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 for modern LED devices - 110-150 lm/W.
