Service Life and Price of LED Downlight

I might forget to show you the service life and price of LED downlight in older posts, so I'd like to make it up with the following short article.



Service Life of LED Downlight

LED downlight is applied with solid light source. Its service life mainly depends on the solid-state LED light source and drive cooling part. At present, the LED downlight's service life reaches more than 100,000 hours. With a evolvement of LED technology and the application of technology in the drive and cooling, high-quality LED downlight's service life basically reaches 10,000~50,000 hours, almost 10-50 times of the ordinary halogen downlights. LED downlight saves up 80% energy, it is almost maintenance-free.

LED Downligh Price

As the LED bulb halogen downlight is more complex in structure than the common lights', the LED downlight price, even in the case of mass production, is higher than common halogen lamps. At present, led downlight is mainly used for commercial applications. The price is so high that not everyone can afford it. But more and more people understand and accept it. If you take the electricity cost into consideration, you would find that even a higher selling price is worthy.
Generally, the price of 2.5" LED downlight, which doesn't include the cost of light source, is about 15~25 RMB, and that of 4" and 5" is around 28~32 RMB and 36~48 RMB.

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 and spotlights
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. However, quartz bulb is not the only choice for the spotlights.

2. Application
downlights
Generally, downlights are always used for ceiling lighting. People use it for lighting when the ceiling is 150mm or above from the floor. Not all the downlights are embedded ones. Downlights are is a good choice if there is no chandelier or ceiling light. The light is relatively soft than spotlights'.

Spotlights can be installed with orbital, point hanging or embedding. Embedded spotlights are installed inside the ceiling. They're used for highlighting objects, like the television wall, paintings. jewelry. etc..

3. Price

Spotlights are more expensive than downlights.There are generally 3 sizes of downlights, large(5 inches), medium(4 inches), small(2.5 inches). The price of small size downlight in 2012 is about 20 to 15 RMB. 28 to 30 RMB for medium size, and 36 to 48 RMB for large one.



It should be noted that spotlights are generally not for short-distance lighting purpose of wool fabric. It also can be used for close lighting of flammable obstacles because it would easily lead to fires. Although the spotlight consumes more energy, but it shows a special decorative effect for residential or commercial use.

Features & Advantages of LED Down Light

If you ask home designers what kinds of light should be used for home decoration, they probably would recommend LED down light. Because it is a popular choice for residential and commercial decoration. But Why? Let me show you the reasons: features & advantages of LED down light.




LED Down Light Features
As we mentioned in "What's LED Downlight", the design of LED down light is more beautiful and lighter. which promises a perfect installation with the architecture. It's hidden inside architectural without exposing the lighting source. The light is soft without glaring. Besides. LED down lights also have the following features.

1. Energy-saving: The power consumption of LED down light is 25% of that of ordinary energy-saving lamps.
2. Environmental-friendly: There is no mercury and other harmful substances that may cause environmental pollution.
3. Economic: LED downlight saves more energy and the cost on electricity is reduced. Money saved from energy cost a year and a half is about equal to the cost of downlight itself. People can save 10 RMB or more a month if they use LED down lights.
4. Low Carbon: Energy-saving equals to a reduction in carbon emissions.
5. Long Life: The light's service life is about 50.000 hours. If people use the light six hours a day. then it can work for about 20 years.

LED Down Light Advantages
1. Energy-efficient: While LED light consumes 10% energy that of incandescent lamp, and 40% that of energy-saving lamps.
2. If you switch on and off the energy-saving lamps, they would burn out soon; while LED downlight is fine with it.
3. LED down light is designed with a cold light source. It is very easy to transport and install. It can be installed in any micro- or enclosed equipment. It's vibration-resistance.
4. The luminous efficiency enjoys a big breakthrough with the rapid progress of LED lighting technology. Also the prices have also been reduced.
5. Eco-friendly: No mercury (Hg) and other substances that are harmful to the environment. The parts of LED down light can be very easily disassembled and recycled. LED light does not contain infrared light or ultraviolet.
6. Fast response: LED down light can be power up very fast, while the traditional high-pressure sodium lamp can not.

It is clear that as long as a continuous improvement of LED lighting technology, the cost of LED lighting would reduce. Energy-saving lamps and incandescent lamps will inevitably be replaced by LED lamps.
