Five Factors to Consider When Choosing LED Reflectors | APT India

The light-emitting diode, or LED, has been around for a while — your digital clock and flashlight use it — but LEDs have only recently been considered the primary source of household lighting. Incandescent light bulbs, which have been the standard for years, are on their way out and being quickly replaced by energy-saving alternatives such as LED lights. Here are five factors to consider when selecting LED reflectors to help you understand the lighting switch. 

Lighting Directional

When compared to incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, LEDs provide a bit of a spotlight (CFL). LED lighting is more focused, emitting light only in one direction. This directional lighting, also known as "beam types" or "beam angles," is measured in degrees. Simply put, this indicates how much area the light will cover (for example, a 360-degree beam is a full beam type). Some lights have narrow beams (for example, 15-30 degree beams or even less).

PAR and BR: Angles and Size

LED light bulbs are classified into two types: Parabolic Aluminized Reflectors (PAR) and Bulged Reflectors (BR).

1. Beam Angles

BR light bulbs have "wide flood" beam angles, which means that they illuminate an area at an angle greater than 45 degrees.

The angles of PAR light bulbs range from 5 to more than 45 degrees, specifically:

5-15 degree sliver

16-22 degrees, spot

Flood depth, 23-32 degrees

33-45 degree flood

Wide flood, more than 45 degrees

2. Size

The numbers following BR and PAR (for example, 30) represent 1/8th of an inch, the diameter of the bulb. Simply divide the number by 8 to get the diameter. A PAR 30 bulb, for example, has a diameter of 30/8, or 3.75 inches.

3. Temperature of Color

Sometimes you want a specific type of white light to illuminate a room. Fortunately, LED bulbs provide the same color temperature as incandescent light bulbs while using less energy. They arrive as follows:

2700K – 3000K (warm white) (warm white)

4100K – 5000K (cool white) (cool white)

6500K+ (daylight) (daylight)

4. Brightness

The brightness of LED reflectors is measured in lumens rather than watts. Watts measure how much energy the bulb consumes, whereas lumens measure how bright the bulb is. LED lighting is appealing because it uses much less power to produce the same amount of light as incandescent lighting. For everyday bulbs, the conversion from incandescent wattage to LED lumen rating includes:

40 watts equals 380 - 460 lumens

750 - 850 lumens at 60 watts

1100 - 1300 lumens at 75 watts

100 watts equals 1700 - 1800 lumens.

5. Base

The bases of LED lights and incandescent lights are not always the same. The following is a list of some of the products that are available for purchase.

It may appear that there is a lot of information here, but it is important to understand what you are getting with LED lighting before making a purchase. Overall, LEDs outlast incandescent lights, save significantly more energy, and are a wise long-term conservation investment.

WHAT IS A LED KIT, AND WHAT ARE ITS USES

Image
An LED or a light emitting diode is a semiconductor light source. The longer lead is called the anode, and the shorter is called the cathode (alternatively spelled cation). Lead substitutes are used as active components in LEDs.  Due to their low cost, efficiency, and durability, electroluminescent lamps and televisions (VGA) (RGB) are made with LEDs. An LED usually has several thin ribbon-like layers of semiconductor material filled with a tiny current of electrons. Suppose enough voltage is applied to the device (anode). In that case, the electrons will be knocked from their energy storage levels by collisions with other atoms in the p-n junction. These lights come in bulbs, tube lights, strings, etc. These LED lights are also stuck to metal strips to give a uniform amount of light. These metal strips have glue on the back end. They can be attached to the walls, ceilings, etc., uniformly providing beautiful lighting to the entire room.   Uses of LED kits:   A l...

5 Benefits of Flood light led | APT India

Image
Broad-beamed lighting fixtures called floodlights produce highly concentrated artificial light. They are typically used in large, inadequately lit commercial spaces because they uniformly flood the area with light. The top retail lighting suppliers claim that flood lights are essential for places like shipyards, factories, construction sites, parking lots, freeways, open fields, etc. because these places need to be adequately lit during business hours. Earlier, High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps or Halogen floodlights were used to light the corresponding areas. According to users and concerned authorities, outdoor LED flood lights are gradually taking the place of traditional lighting fixtures, thanks to the advent of LEDs. White light from LED floodlights is emitted at a very wide angle. These lights offer users several advantages and benefits and produce more lumens per watt than other conventional lighting options. The following 5 advantages are available to users who install ...

The objective of AC to DC conversion:

Image
We must convert AC to DC since neither AC signals nor DC electricity can be stored. We need to store the electrical energy before converting it to DC. Due to its frequencies, AC may travel across large distances. Converters from AC to DC: Converters from AC to DC are among the most important parts of power electronics. This is because many practical applications rely on these transformations. Alternating current (AC) input is transformed into direct current (DC) output via electrical circuits known as AC-DC converters. They are utilized in power electronic applications when a sine-wave AC voltage at 50 or 60 Hz needs to be converted into a DC output. Rectification is the process of changing an AC to a DC. The rectifier transforms the AC supply into a DC supply when it is connected to the load. Similarly, transformers are frequently used to modify AC sources to lower the voltage level for improved DC supply functioning range. Applications: Almost all electronic and electrical gadgets ne...
