What are the advantages of LED lamps?
LED lamps have an advantage over fluorescent lamps in the first place in terms of environmental friendliness. Another reason for using LED lamps is directly related to the process of use. Such lamps do not flicker like fluorescent lamps. Flickering of a conventional fluorescent lamp can occur at a frequency that the human eye can perceive. LED lamps do not have this disadvantage, since they are powered by constant current.
pluses of LED lampsDue to the absence of perceived flicker, LED lamps can be used in environments where eye fatigue is a critical factor. For example, in modern offices, overhead LED lamps are installed., which has a positive effect on the health of employees (we are, of course, talking about vision). They also serve as an alternative to fluorescent lamps where the use of the latter is unsafe. For example, to illuminate rotary mechanisms.
High-quality color rendition helps to achieve the most natural perception of artificial lighting. The luminescent source gives off "dead" light. The human eye in such lighting perceives colors and shades distorted. The unnaturalness of the lighting is obvious. LED light sources are ahead of fluorescent ones in this aspect. Their radiation spectrum is as close to natural as possible.
Let's summarize the list of advantages of LED lamps. They provide higher luminous efficacy and reduce energy consumption by 5-10 times. Such a lamp can last 30-100 thousand hours. They are resistant to shock, vibration, voltage drops. The instability of the voltage in the mains does not affect the service life and luminous efficiency.
LED light sources are not fire hazardous. During operation, they do not heat up above 60 ° C. The lamp immediately turns on at full brightness. We also note among the advantages of high-quality color rendering, simplicity of design, insensitivity to low temperatures.
Modern LED lamps compare favorably with fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps. Their only drawback is their high cost. However, the price is quite reasonable in light of the above advantages. Today, such lamps are used in everyday life, for industrial lighting and street lighting.
