Change to a Higher Lumen Lighting using LED Filaments
Everywhere, businesses are still looking for lighting that is more dependable and uses less energy. HID (high intensity discharge) lighting was once thought to be the best and brightest choice for lighting big commercial spaces, such as parking lots, gymnasiums, and warehouses. The operational shortcomings and inefficiencies of HID were rapidly exposed as soon as LED technology became more widely available and reasonably priced.
One type of HID light source is metal halide lamps. Many quality problems have been reported by users over the years. HID bulbs must be changed frequently to preserve the original light quality because brightness and luminosity tend to diminish very quickly. Additionally, a ballast is necessary for HID fixtures to function correctly. More upkeep is required because ballast issues occur regularly. Waiting for HID bulbs to warm up is another major problem. The lights often take a few minutes to achieve their maximum intensity after being turned on.
Corn cob LED lights were hailed as a revolutionary alternative to antiquated HID lights when they initially came out. Even while corn cobs are a more durable and energy-efficient option, they nevertheless have some drawbacks in some situations. Certain enclosed fixtures have the potential to overheat and malfunction. Simply put, other users dislike the way they seem like "bug zappers." Many end customers were looking for new and improved LED replacement bulbs for both practical and aesthetic reasons.
Guess what, though? At last, they're here! The newest and most intriguing LED light source in the commercial lighting industry is high lumen LED filaments. In addition to replacing HID lights, they will also mark the demise of corn cob LEDs.
High Lumen LED Filaments' Advantages
Let's start by talking about why business users require corn cob and HID lights. This is due to the fact that its intended usage requires the strongest light available. Large indoor spaces and expansive outdoor regions can be illuminated by the incredibly brilliant light produced by HID and corn cob lamps. In addition to producing light that is equally as bright, if not brighter, high lumen LED filaments have other advantages over these antiquated, outdated light sources.
Savings on Energy
The newest and most energy-efficient LED technology is used in the creation of Benwei lighting's high lumen filaments. These are the lights for you if you want to reduce your energy costs. In terms of energy efficiency, they are unquestionably superior to corn cob bulbs, offering over 75% energy savings over HID bulbs.
Adaptable
Searching for a multipurpose light source? Almost any application, including open and enclosed fixtures, can make use of high brightness LED filaments. If you have a weather-approved fixture, they are also ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.
Here are only a handful of their numerous uses:
High bays
Low bays
Bollards
Packs for walls
Garages
Parking lots
ornamental fixtures
Quick Start
High lumen LED filaments turn on instantly, in contrast to HID bulbs that require several minutes to warm up and reach their maximum brightness. There is no waiting time for them to become as bright as possible. Additionally, there is no need to wait for the lightbulb to go out in between restarts.
Tiny Size
The bulky size and unwieldy shape of corn cob LEDs are two major drawbacks. They might struggle to fit correctly in the specified fixture in some applications. Due to their significantly smaller size, high lumen LED filaments are more compatible with a greater range of fixture types.
Diminished Glare
Another concern similar to both HID and corn cob lights is the amount of glare they can cause. Due to HID and corn cob design limits and beam angle arrangement, excessive glare is hard to avoid. High lumen LED filaments feature a 360° beam angle, which is an excellent lighting solution that happens to produce significantly less glare than other light sources.
Not heavy
In addition to their unwieldy shape, corn cob bulbs are heavy, which can break some fixtures or necessitate the use of extra equipment. Since high lumen LED filaments weigh significantly less than corn cobs, they can be used without additional application tools.
Decorative
The appearance of corn cob bulbs does not impress many commercial end users. Some people say they resemble a bug zapper or a transformer. In terms of appearance, high lumen LED filaments look like traditional light bulbs. This has significant value in applications where decorative aesthetics are important.
Available Shapes and Sizes
Benwei lighting's energy efficient high lumen LED filaments are great replacements for HID metal halide lamps, plus they're the perfect alternative to corn cob LEDs.
