LED is a brand new lighting technology. A complete LED product is made up by LED Lights chips, control devices and other auxiliary lighting sections, such as projectors. In this article we will do some discussion about the identification and improvement of LED lighting appliances.
Terms of user related to people’s lives and property:
As a type of electrical appliance, operation & safety instructions and warnings contained in owner’s manual should meet the requirement of certain international standards. In this area, Chinese products are using IEC standard. Some made-in-China standards are still referred to the relevant terms in IEC standard and ANSI standards, only some tiny differences.
Performance manuals for LED street lights chips, control devices and other auxiliary lighting tools:
Customers bought a product. It is the product function that they actually purchased rather than the product itself. Meanwhile, product function was normally identified by means of performance manuals. “Performance Requirements for General LED Lighting Module”, “Performance Requirements for General LED Ballasts” and “Performance Requirements for DC/AC Supplied LED Control Devices” were three most recently published performance manuals for LED lighting appliances, in which lighting efficiency, light attenuation, service life, energy efficiency and other indicators has been cleared given out. It is rather important for export products. Foreign buyers will be more concerned about product performance as well as product quality.
Matching requirements among LEDs, control devices and auxiliary lighting tools:
- Different control devices for different LED lighting sources.
Control devices served for LED lighting sources, the design of which should depend on the specific module of LED chips. In theory, safety is the most important indicator of control devices. Since the testing requirements are basically similar to other electrical appliances, it is a bit of easier for comprehend. However, the situation is much complex in matching up with LED high bay lights chips. Optical and electronic related knowledge are necessary. The working conditions of LED lighting sources are generally controlled by control devices. The matching between them is directly affect the lighting efficiency, stability of lighting sources, service life and other performance indicators which are essential for the entire system. However, it is impossible to reach 100% matching. The best matching modes currently can only make LED lighting sources perform as much as 75%-85% of original conditions.
