LED downlights make indoor lighting brighter and healthier

LED downlights make indoor lighting brighter and healthier


LED downlight is a kind of lighting fixture embedded in the ceiling. It is a directional lighting fixture, only its opposite side can receive light, the beam angle belongs to the spotlight, the light is more concentrated, and the contrast between light and dark is strong. LED downlights have the following advantages: energy saving, low carbon, longevity, good color rendering, fast response, no ultraviolet, infrared radiation, no heat in the light, and no damage to the illuminated object. The design of LED downlights is beautiful and light, and can maintain the overall unity and perfection of architectural decoration during installation. The light source hides the interior of the architectural decoration, the light source is not exposed, and there is no glare.


From traditional downlights to LED downlights, downlight sources are constantly being updated, from the previous fluorescent lamps to straw hat lamp beads, LED high-power lamp beads, to today's SMD lamp beads (SMD) and LED integrated light sources (COB) , The development of LED downlights can be described as a step every year.

downlight


There are three main light sources on LED downlights:


The first: SMD lamp beads (SMD), using a number of small and medium power LEDs such as 5630, 5730, 4040, 7070 and other LEDs of 1W and below, stable and mature technology, high brightness, soft light, low single power, Low heat, good heat dissipation, long life, uniform light color, meet the full panel light source requirements of LED downlights, and truly realize no dark area.


The second type: high-power lamp beads, using several LEDs with a power of 1 to 3W.


The third type: integrated light source (COB), deep cover type, with anti-glare, brightness, illuminance, intensity, high light efficiency, high color rendering index and other characteristics.


Optical Design of LED Downlight


SMD lamp beads (SMD):


SMD lamp beads (SMD) are used as the light source of the downlight. Because the number of LEDs is large, the entire light source cavity can be covered as much as possible, so that the heat converted by the LEDs can be distributed more widely, which is convenient for heat dissipation, and also avoids the need for Local temperature overheating. Because the LED distribution is relatively scattered, the distance from the light source to the light-emitting surface can be designed to be relatively small, and the effect of uniform light spot can be achieved, so the downlight using SMD lamp beads (SMD) can design the height of the downlight relatively low.


Integrated Light Source (COB):


The integrated light source (COB) is used as the downlight light source because the integrated light source already has its own circuit board, which only needs to be fixed when in use, so compared with the SMD lamp beads (SMD), it saves the cost of the aluminum substrate and the cost of the SMD. cost. Because the power of the integrated light source (COB) is relatively large, the heat source is relatively concentrated when the LED is working, so the requirements for heat dissipation design are higher; the second is that the light-emitting surface of the integrated light source is relatively small, in order to avoid the light-emitting surface of the downlight. The light spot usually requires a relatively large distance from the integrated light source to the light-emitting surface, which requires the height of the reflector to be relatively high, so the height of the downlight using the integrated light source will be relatively high, and the volume of the entire lamp will naturally be relatively large. In order to reduce the height of the entire downlight, the reflector with high reflectivity can be used to reduce the height of the reflector.


LED downlight classification:


1. Installation method: embedded downlight and surface mounted downlight


2. Places: household downlights and engineering downlights. The civilian clothing is mainly small size of 2.5 inches and 3.5 inches, mainly used in the family; 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches belong to the public clothing, usually suitable for hotels, office buildings and public places.


3. Function: Monochromatic downlight and dimming downlight.
