Top 8 benefits of LED lighting

Top 8 benefits of LED lighting 1. Long service life LED lighting distinguishes itself from other types of lighting by its long lifespan. LEDs and diodes have an excellent operational life expectancy of up to 100,000 hours. This translates into continuous use of 11 years or use of 22 years at 50%. If you let the LED fixture burn for 8 hours a day, it would take approximately 20 years before you have to replace the LED lamps. LEDs are also different from standard lighting. They do not really have burnout and stop working, as with light bulbs for example. 2. Energy efficient The LED lighting is currently the most energy-efficient solution on the market, with an average efficiency between 80% and 90%. This means that about 80% of all electrical energy is converted to light, while about 20% is lost energy and is therefore converted to other forms of energy such as heat. With traditional light bulbs, which only have an energy efficiency of 20%, 80% of the electricity is lost as hea...

How do I install an RGB LED Strip?

How do I install an RGB LED Strip? Installing an RGB LED Strip sounds more difficult than it is. Because many people think that this is too technical, we have made a step-by-step plan and videos to make it as simple as possible. With the help of this step-by-step plan and videos, even a child can install an RGB LED Strip. What do I need to install a Greenovation RGB LED strip? 1. An RGB LED strip 2. A standard RGB LED strip controller with remote control 3. A matching power supply of 72 Watt How do I install a Greenovation RGB LED strip with a controller? Follow the steps below to install your RGB LED strip. 1. First, thoroughly clean the chosen substrate. Remove dust and grease so that the LED strip can stick well. 2. Carefully remove the protective layer from the 3M double-sided adhesive strip. 3. Place the LED strip with the sticky side down on your chosen surface and press firmly on the strip. Press between the lights and not the lights. 4. Connect the LED strip to ...

Is LED lighting dimmable?

Is LED lighting dimmable? Yes, LED lighting is easy to dim, especially with the right LED dimmer. With dimmable LED lighting there are a few points of attention: Only LED lighting that is specifically designated as 'dimmable LED lighting' is suitable for this, look in the title or under 'specifications' at the product level. LED lighting has very low wattage. It is important that the total connected power in watts approaches the start of the dimming range. The dimming range is often specified on the packaging or on the front plate of the dimmer (see example below) Example:   This dimmer has a dimming range of 20-360W. In order for the dimmer to work properly, a minimum of 5 LED lamps of 4W must be connected to each other on a dimmer. Too few LED lamps (too low connected total wattage) will make the lamps flicker, especially in the low dimming position. Due to the low wattage of the LED lamps, the dimming range is sufficient but more limited than with halogen or ...

OLED as a light source

OLED as a light source An organic light-emitting diode, commonly used in the form of the acronym OLED, is a light source in the family of semiconductor light sources. This family consists of inorganic LEDs (LED), organic LEDs (OLED) and lasers. While an LED is a bright point source, an OLED is a large surface spotlight. OLED technology is mainly known as the new technology for television and screens for smartphones and tablets. But the OLED technique is also used in other ways. The bright light of OLED technology can perfectly function as the lighting in the home or possibly for companies. The OLED lighting is many times more energy efficient than, for example, the energy that a light bulb consumes. OLED lifetime What is quite normal with light sources, they degrade over time. This reduces the light intensity and this also happens with the OLED lighting. A lifetime of more than 1000 hours is reported for white polymer OLEDs and more than 10,000 hours for white small molecule OLE...

Save with LED lighting

Save with LED lighting LED lighting is increasingly being used to replace other types of lamps. LED lights are increasingly being used not only in the house and in the garden, but street lighting and agriculture are also increasingly using them. Nowadays, LED lamps are also made that can be used for cars. If you are not yet using LED lighting, you may still be wondering why would I use LED lighting? Below a number of advantages are mentioned that make people choose to use LED lighting. Cost saving with LED lighting Switching to LED lighting saves costs. A light bulb consumes a lot more watts than an LED bulb. Where an incandescent lamp consumes 25 watts per hour, an LED lamp consumes only 2 watts and yet the same performance is achieved. At the moment the price of one kWh is € 0.23. Suppose we let a light bulb burn for 1000 hours, this will cost € 5.75. If we let a LED lamp burn for 1000 hours, this will only cost € 0.46. This is a big difference and especially if you have a big h...
