Five aspects allow you to buy stainless steel LED underwater lights to save money and worry

   Stainless steel LED underwater light is an underwater light produced by LED technology. Compared with traditional underwater lights, stainless steel underwater lights are more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and the lights are varied and more decorative, so they are widely used in various landscape lighting systems. However, as a manufacturer of LED underwater lights, some problems in the use of stainless steel underwater lights need to be specially reminded of buyers.

   Stainless steel underwater lights should be powered by a DC constant current power supply. Under the control of constant current power supply, the forward pressure drop of LED wall washer, LED flood light, stainless steel underwater light, and LED buried light will decrease with the increase of LED chip temperature. It doesn't have much impact. However, if it is driven by constant voltage, the current of the chip of the stainless steel underwater lamp will continue to increase as the temperature increases, and in severe cases, the stainless steel underwater lamp may even be burned. Therefore, the stainless steel underwater light should be powered by a DC constant current power supply.

 When choosing stainless steel LED underwater lights, the following aspects should be considered:

    1. Safety function: In landscape places, the choice of stainless steel underwater lights takes personal safety as the primary factor. The stainless steel underwater lamp with 12V safety voltage must be used in accordance with the requirements of the national standard.

    2. Lighting function: The lighting function mainly refers to the luminous brightness of the light source. It can choose different power stainless steel underwater lights according to the irradiation height and light projection area. Another element of the lighting function is the color of the stainless steel underwater light, generally red, yellow, green, blue, and white.

    3. Appearance and shell material: Although the stainless steel underwater light is used underwater, it is not very conspicuous. However, the appearance and material are related to the proportion of lamps and lanterns. If the specific gravity is too small, a large buoyancy will be generated, and the fixing screws of the stainless steel underwater lamp will be easily loosened, so that the lamp floats on the water surface and is too heavy, which makes the lamp stand difficult to support. At the same time, due to long-term use in water, the shell material should have a certain anti-corrosion function, and the surface paint layer should be firm.

    4. Economy: The economy of stainless steel underwater lamps refers to the sum of the one-time investment and operating costs of the lamps. Generally speaking, stainless steel underwater lights with better quality have higher lamp prices, longer service life and lower operating costs. On the contrary, stainless steel underwater lights with poor quality are cheap, but often lead to blindness due to water leakage and electricity leakage. , not only increased operating costs, and some even affected the acceptance of the entire project.

    5. Pay attention to the sealing of stainless steel underwater lights. No matter what kind of LED lighting products, as long as they are used outdoors, they are faced with moisture-proof and sealing problems, especially for stainless steel underwater lamps. If the sealing problem is not handled properly, it will directly affect the service life of the stainless steel underwater lamp.
