Incandescent energy saving lamps

Incandescent energy saving lamps

It's time to talk about the biggest disadvantages of energy-saving light bulbs. Unfortunately, there were slightly more than the advantages, which I think in the main degree, resulting in a faster and faster departure from this type of light sources. The biggest of the disadvantages can be low light quality, which was much worse than the sunlight itself (low level of CRI). Another of them, which was extremely important for our health, was the inclusion of small amounts of toxic substances. Energy-saving light bulbs contained, among others, mercury, so that we could not throw them into the ordinary basket, and each of them should be recycled.

As we already know, energy-saving bulbs acted as a glow discharge that they needed to take off. It was then that they took the most energy, often much higher than with traditional incandescent bulbs. They could also cause a reduction in the quality of electricity in the network, causing its deformation. The quality of an energy-saving light bulb largely depended on the ambient temperature or the degree of its consumption. After a long time of illumination, we could see that the light emitted by it is definitely of lower quality.
An energy-saving bulb by the starter system could not be in most cases of control. So we could not freely darken it or change the colors of its lighting. It was a huge drawback for customers who wanted energy-efficient lighting that they could intelligently control.

Bulb energy-saving advantages

An energy-saving bulb and its power consumption, which is several times lower than in the case of traditional light sources, is the biggest advantage of compact fluorescent lamps. It was thanks to the lower energy consumption that we could quickly reduce the energy bills, exchanging only a few light bulbs in our home. I am writing here, of course, about the case when energy-saving bulbs will work for a long time, and will not be switched on and off at any time. Then also these types of bulbs achieve much longer durability than ordinary incandescent bulbs. An energy-saving bulb through its starter system has less dependence on the set-up voltage. We do not experience the dimming effect on them when the voltage of electricity decreases slightly below the accepted standard. Another huge advantage of energy-saving light bulbs is the possibility of emitting light in a different color than that used in a standard bulb (2500K). An energy-saving bulb can emit 4000K or 6500K cold light.

LED bulbs vs energy-saving

The LED bulb, and energy-saving and its comparison currently somewhat misses the goal. LED bulbs-they have definitely defeated their biggest competitors, above all accessibility, more and more attractive price and longer life and durability. LED bulbs are also much safer for us and the environment, because they do not contain harmful mercury, or do not produce harmful UV radiation. Products made in LED technology also emit a much more pleasant to the eye light, whose color rendering level is at least CRI> 80Ra. When choosing LED bulbs for home or office, we also do not have to decide on the most ordinary ones, which will only emit light in one color. LED bulbs can be part of intelligent lighting and together with LED strips or external lighting, create modern systems controlled by remote control, phone or tablet.

LED profiles as a new trend in lighting

LED profiles as a new trend in lighting Today, dynamically developing LED technology and its different manufacturers are outdoing in many new products. A few years ago such new products were just LED strip profiles. Not at first glance, inconspicuous products began to slowly conquer the market, not only Polish but also European. In the beginning, we had only LED profiles available furniture, today there are as many as 50 different types. The company Lumines is the leader in the production and sale of aluminum profiles. Their very ingenious constructions have convinced contemporary customers, who more and more often decide on lamps made of aluminum profiles. In an increasing number of stationary and internet stores, we can find just such types of LED profiles. Our company also deals in the sale and distribution of aluminum strips. Due to our long-term cooperation with their producer, we are able to offer very attractive prices as well as wholesale discounts. Profiles for LED strips ...

Lighting of the production hall

The lighting of the production hall Table of Contents Hall lighting - what to look for The lighting of industrial halls The LED lighting on the production hall the lighting of the production hall Hall lighting - what to look for? We should start the lighting project of the hall by choosing energy-efficient and efficient industrial lamps, and arrange them appropriately throughout our facility. The LED lighting of the production hall should meet all the requirements regarding the level of illumination, its uniformity and limiting the effects of glare. We must also remember the proper luminance distribution as well as the appropriate color rendering index. Below I will present you with the most important guidelines according to which the lighting of industrial halls is designed. Illumination intensity - given in lux (lx) depending on the place and type of work done there, will have to meet slightly different standards. We will be able to afford less light on the corridor, but ...

LED bulbs

LED bulbs Are LED bulbs economical ? I think each of us can answer this question with ease. LED lighting at home or in the company will consume significantly less energy than its traditional replacements. The durability of LED bulbs also stands at a very high level, which definitely exceeds its competitors. LED bulbs have been equipped with an energy-saving source of light, such as LED diodes. They are powered by an internal power supply system, which, when properly selected, significantly affects their long and trouble-free operation. The heat sink is also very important here. LEDs do not like too high temperatures, therefore a suitable aluminum or ceramic heat sink can significantly extend the life of LED bulbs. The power of LED bulbs , especially the luminous one, is determined by the number of lumens, not the power consumption in watts. The efficiency of a 10W LED bulb can be much higher than a 15W one, then it will turn out that the one weaker at first glance will shine br...
