Do you know how many and what tests should LED wall washer undergo for quality certification before delivery? This article would help you to know it. Temperature Test Temperature test is a must in quality inspections of LED wall washer. There's a temperature limit for different components. During product designing, manufacturers should pay great attention to heat dissipation, especially that of certain components, such as insulation sheet. Components could be easily damaged if working under a high temperature condition for a long time. This might cause a fire or electric shock. The internal power module of wall washer is enclosed in a small space, which might lead to a heat problem. Therefore, manufacturers should select components in proper size, which would avoid the over-heating problem when the components work under full-load condition. Aging Test  LED wall washer should undergo a 24-hour aging test before delivery; and waterproof test should be carried out im...

Here I'm going to show you 7 basic specifications of LED wall washer that you'd like to know before buying. 1. Power Power is a key factor determining LED wall washer's projection distance. Generally, the power could be 18W, 24W, 36W, 48W, etc. However, the power is flexible. It could be changed upon different requests. Usually, high-power LED wall washer is always in a single row. Concerning on heat dissipation, the power of 1-meter-long wall washer, which is designed with couples of 1W lighting bulb, must not exceed 36W; otherwise, a serious Lumens depreciation would happen as a result of heat dissipation problem. 2. Voltage DC power or AC power. Usually, build-in power supply requires AC 220V(AC110 in Japan), but external power supply requires low voltage, like DC24V, DC12V, DC27V and so on. The voltage could be different due to different customers' requirements. 3. IP IP protection is also a basic specification of LED wall washer. What's IP pro...

As mentioned in " 4 Aspects to Understand LED Stage Light ", LED wall washer is a very important part of stage lighting. Well, it's not only used for stage lighting, but also a nice choice for indoor and outdoor lighting. Now I'll show you what's LED wall washer . LED wall washer is mainly used for architectural lighting purposes. As described by its name, the light comes from LED wall washer is like water washing all over a wall. It's energy-saving, and high luminous efficient. Now traditional wall washer light is gradually being replaced by LED wall washer. The power module for LED wall washer is installed inside the housing, of which the space is very limited. Therefore, some manufacturers, in order to save space, weld the pin-type components onto PCB board, which could cause a big problem in quality. These surface-mounted components could easily come off because of bad soldering. That's very dangerous. LED wall washer, controlled by a bui...

Today, I'm going to show you the features of LED strip light . LED strip light, with its unique design, has many benefits and features that other kinds of LED lighting products could not be compared with. LED strip is typically sold in metres. It operates at 12-volts. LED strip light also costs much less, for it only consumes less energy to create the same lighting effect. LED Strip Light for Outdoor Decoration LED strip light can be found in two specific types: single colour and colour-changing RGB (Red, Green and Blue). Like normal LED bulbs, single colour strip light could be warm white and cool white; while the colour-changing strip light permits users variable ambiances. Additionally they come in a variety of brightness, ranging from an ordinary light for domestic applications, to exceptionally bright for business applications. The brightness of a LED strip light is determined by the range and size of its LED chips. There're two primary chip sizes, 3528 (...

If you're going to purchase LED flood lights , you may need to know how to choose and buy them. Here we'll show you the following aspects that you should consider before carry out a big purchase. 1. 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...

We've discussed the difference between downlights and spotlights the day before. Then what's LED spotlights ? Today I'm going to show you the answer. LED spotlights are spotlights which use light-emitting diodes as a light source. Traditional spotlights usually use more halogen lights, which have low luminous efficiency and short service life, consume more power, and causes high temperature to the exposure. LED spotlights are superior to traditional lighting products on many aspects, including light emitting principle, energy saving, and environment protection. Service Life of LED Spotlights The service life of LED spotlights is due to the LED and driver cooling section. In 2012, the service life of LED lighting reached more than 100,000 hours. With the continuous development of LED technology and its wide application the industry achieves an ideal state on drive and cooling section. Thus, high-quality LED spotlights' life can basically reach 10,000 to 50,...

Thought we talked about 4 main benefits and advantage of LED lighting before, it's indeed a fact that residential LED lighting products are less used and popular in many families nowadays. How could it be? Today we're going to tell the state and market of residential led lighting products . The difficulties why led lights are less popular for home use than other traditional lights include the following points. 1. The retail price is too high. It's too expensive to afford, not only for rural residents but even the city dwellers. The current price of LED lights, compared with incandescent lamps or other energy-saving lights, is the highest. We find a price table(Table 1) online. Table 1 Incandescent Bulb    15 ~ 40W    2 to 3 RMB Energy Saving Lamp   5 ~ 10W     7 to 18 RMB LED Bulb             3 ~ 5W      40 to 80 RMB Note: As there are differences among different brands and also the diffe...

LED lighting is more popular than ever before. It enjoys a great market and applications for its competitive benefits and advantages. Energy Efficient About 20% of the electrical energy consumed by traditional lighting and conventional light bulbs is converted to light, while a 80% is lost and converted into other forms of energy, like heat. However, LED lighting is very energy efficient and consumes up to 90% less power than traditional lightnings. Besides, LED's give off light in a specific direction, they are more efficient in application than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, which waste energy by emitting light in all directions. Longer Life The life of an incandescent bulb is about 750 to 2,000 hours, 8,000 to 10,000 hours for a compact fluorescent, and 20,000 to 30,000 hours for a linear fluorescent bulb. However, LED's service life reaches from 35,000 to 50,000 hours. LED light will last over 7 years under constant use before needing replacement. Long lif...

LED lighting , the best energy efficient lighting with the latest technology, is a lamp or other light that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a source of illumination. LED stands for ‘Light Emitting Diode’, a semiconductor device that converts electricity into light. LEDs are electronic components that produce light by conversion of electrical energy directly to light by the movement of electrons within the material of the diode. They were invented in Russia in the 1920s and put into practical use in the United States in the 1960s by General Electric. In the late 1960s, Monsanto Corporation was the first to mass-produce LEDs, and Hewlett-Packard used them in its early calculators. LED lighting is different from the traditional lighting. These lighting products are super energy efficient, using approximately 85% less energy than that of halogen or incandescent lighting–meaning significant savings on your power bills. They also have a much longer lifespan than other ty...
