UAE Women Invent Intelligent lighting System for Haze Days

United Arab Emirates Today reported on April 11 that 3 UAE women engineers recently invented a new type of road intelligent lighting system to prevent haze-day traffic accidents.

These 3 women engineers all come from Fujairah, UAE. According to their vision, this intelligent lighting system will be installed on both sides of highway. The biggest advantage is that the system could automatically rate the haze, and the lights would power up for illumination accordingly.

Intelligent Road Lighting System Demonstration

Meanwhile, the system comes with a set of communication devices which will provide real-time traffic information to drivers, and also remind them to slow down. In addition, communication devices are connected with police department, keep the police well-informed of road visibility conditions, and reminding them to make contingency plans.

According to three inventor's estimation that the minimum cost of this lighting system is about 70,000 dirhams per 100 kilometers(about 118,000 RMB). However, they believe that if this system is put into use, it would 100% prevent traffic accidents in haze days.

Although the usefulness of this system needs a further study, Fujairah Transportation Department still commended their efforts and achievements. The 3 inventors are now applying for national patent for their invention; and they will continue to make improvements to the system.

Today we'll answer the frequently asked question. " why LED strip light won't light up ". If you find your flexible LED strip light won't light up or power up, you may check the following troubleshooting information for help. 1. The lamp beads of led strip light must be broken or damaged during transportation if the light is not covered with full protection. 2. There must be a faulty at the light's soldering points. The soldering may come off if there is any shock during transportation. 3. Soldering with poor quality may cause embrittlement or shedding when the strip light is bent for use. 4. Cheat on tin soldering materials can also cause the same problem as the 2 point we just mentioned. 5. LED lights with flexible installation bending angle is too large, resulting in LED lights with flexible joints and lead to bright copper separation 6. A excessive bending may result in the disconnection between the joints and copper foil. 7. Thick sol

Difference Between Downlights and Spotlights

Many people are confused with downlights and spotlights. They could not tell the difference between the two types of lights, let alone the lights' application and lighting effect. Downlight VS Spotlight Simply speaking, downlights, used for general or auxiliary lighting, have more concentrated lighting source than ordinary ones. Spotlights can emit a highly-converged spot light. It is used for special illumination, such as highlight a place or object with bright spot light. We'll distinguish the two types of lights from the following aspects. 1. Lighting. Downlights can be installed with incandescent bulbs or energy-saving lamps. If you use incandescent bulb, the light would be yellow; while if you use energy-saving light bulb, the light would be white or yellow. The lighting direction f ceiling downlights could not be adjusted. But the direction of the spotlights can be adjusted freely. A quartz bulb or lamp beads are usually used for household spotlights.

How to DIY LED Home Light?

Although LED lights have many advantages in many applications, it's still a little expensive for home use. Today, I'll going to tell you how to DIY LED home light .

Price Trend Forecast 2014~2040 for LED Light, Fluorescent Light, N' Incandescent Light

Efficacy & Price Trend Forecast 2014~2040 for LED Light, Fluorescent Light, N' Incandescent Light Lighting Efficacy Cost U.S.Energy Information Administration predicts that the price of LED light is almost close to that of fluorescent light or incandescent light by 2020. At that time, incandescent lights are probably eliminated as they could not meet the energy-saving standards in next few years. On January 1, 2014, the United States banned the production and sales of 40 watt and 60 watt incandescent bulbs; but many American families store a number of these traditional bulbs before the ban. Probably, 75 watt and 100 watt traditional light bulbs would also become one part of the ban. Due to the the federal standards and development on lighting technology, the bulbs' quality sees a great improvement; the service life and lighting efficiency also increase a lot acc

China LED Lights: A Threat to South Korea LED Companies?

Difference Between Flexible LED Strip and LED Light Bar

As we mentioned in " What's LED strip ", LED strip can be generally classified into two main types, flexible LED strips and LED light bar. Today, we're going to tell the difference between flexible LED strip and LED light bar . Flexible LED strip is made of FPC circuit board assembled with SMD LED. The thickness of the strip light is only that of a coin, which make it save more space. The most common specifications include, 30cm with 18 LEDs or 24 pcs of LEDs, and 50cm with 15 LEDs, or 24 LEDs, or 30 LEDs and so on. Of course there are also strips in 60cm, or 80cm. Stip lights of different specifications are used for many different applications. People can cut or prolong flex LED strip for its own use; however, the luminescence would not be affected. The LED strips with FPC(soft material), can be bent, folded , winded, or stretched in three-dimensional space without breaking. Flexible led strip is suitable for irregular use or cramped places.

Prices of LED flood lights are different due to the brightness. The LED used for LED lamps should comply with the standard of Laser Class Class I. 2. Antistatic. Flood lights with good antistatic have longer service life; therefore they enjoy a higher price. Usually, the antistatic factor of LED should be over 700V. 3. LEDs with the same wavelength and color cost more money. It is difficult for manufacturers to produce LED floodlights with pure colors if they have no spectral separation devices. 4. LED flood light is one-way conductive light. If there is a reverse current, the situation would be called leakage. Leakage current leads to short service life and low price. 5. The LED cost defers from one another due to different illumination angles. LED flood lights wi
