How to choose LED bulbs

Image
There is nothing but good news these days about LED bulbs since prices have dropped (they still cost more to buy than incandescent bulbs, but it will save you watts of money in the long term.) You can choose warmer colors of light instead of a more powerful light or a too-white light from older LEDs. The benefits of LED lights are clear. MIT Technology Review summarizes them: For the consumer, the main benefits of LED devices are clear: they are energy efficient, can last more than 20 years and, in many cases, emit good light. Prices have dropped steadily, as LED components have fallen in price and lighting companies introduce better designs. Consumers have suffered from confusion when selecting light bulbs, however. It is not surprising. LEDs come in different shapes and colors of light, and it's hard to know at a glance how they compare in brightness to our favorite incandescent bulbs. To simplify the experience of buying and using LED bulbs, this is what you need to know,...

BENEFITS OF INDUSTRIAL LED Lights

Image
Light is increasingly important in the industrial sector, because thanks to energy-efficient and more advanced lighting technology, modern and planned lighting for the industry can lower service costs, improve both visual conditions and promote concentration, increase Productivity and operational safety through integration into intelligent control networks and at the same time protect the environment.  In addition, legal provisions are increasingly stringent. Industrial LED lighting is a system that is implemented in warehouses, factories, plants, warehouses, and industrial buildings in order to improve visibility in this type of spaces where the area is quite extensive and the activities carried out in it require very conditions specific so that they can be carried out properly. Although it appears to be an electrical system in order to illuminate like any other, it actually requires very precise specifications to avoid any damage to the electrical installation and me...

LED streetlight

The public spaces in the cities are full of old lighting systems, incandescent lights that have not been renovated and that generate high energy expenditure, high luminescent pollution and, above all, excessive CO2 emission are common. With the emergence of LED technology for lighting in the 60s, of the last century and its subsequent incorporation with the LED lamppost to public spaces, during the 90s, these issues, of global concern, have diminished; Nowadays, lighting is not the form of energy that generates the most pollution. The use of an LED lamppost comprises many edges, which are beneficial for society in general. While it is true they promote environmental conservation, they are also a form of direct savings. Incandescent systems, that is high-pressure steam (VSAP), or metal halide (HM), are not very durable compared to LEDs. A VSAP, for example, can offer durability of a thousand hours, while the LED system guarantees up to 50 thousand hours, being able to prolong its...

The PoE connection in lighting

Image
The PoE connection can become a viable alternative to  conventional  power lines  to connect lighting applications to the Internet and distribute electricity.  The biggest advantage of lighting over Ethernet is that it is very easy and cheap to perform simultaneous data transmission and serves as a power source. The local and autonomous power supply of a device is often problematic when said element is intended to be installed in places that are not easily accessible or without power;  Such is the case of IP surveillance cameras.  Installing power near these elements can sometimes be very difficult and expensive. With the  PoE  (Power over Ethernet) connections,  the household lighting  system  would change radically since it would only be necessary to pull UTP cable from the port of a PoE connection to the group of  LED lights  to be powered and controlled by an IP. Thus,  LED lights with PoE  do...

LED street lighting: save on the electricity bill of your Community

Image
Installing LED public lighting bulbs in the lampposts of the Neighborhood Communities means a large-scale saving and a blow on the table on such important issues as ecology because they do not pollute anything and have a very low consumption.  With the change to LED lighting, municipalities, urbanizations, companies can  save up to 70% on the electricity bill. The bulbs and luminaires of LED street lighting are increasingly present on highways, avenues, streets, tunnels, roads, bridges, streets of private areas such as urbanizations and are very advantageous: They offer excellent heat dissipation,  resistance  to corrosion and high strength. Beehive effect for excellent  heat  dissipation.   No light emission to the upper hemisphere, avoiding light pollution. No glare or flickering.  They are on immediately and have  low  CO2 emissions and are free of mercury. LED street lighting offered by CREST LED Adapter Modules Our...
