What should I do if the LED spotlight is broken and does not light up?


When installing lights in many people's homes, in addition to the lights used for lighting, they will also install some spotlights, such as the spotlights installed on the ceiling of the TV wall. If the bulbs of these spotlights are broken, the LED spotlights If it's broken, it doesn't light up, what should I do if it flickers?


In fact, it is not difficult to replace the bulb of the spotlight. As long as the right way is found, the bulb of the spotlight can be replaced very simply, and there is no need to ask a professional master to repair it, which is expensive and time-consuming.



First, we turn off the switch of the spotlight to ensure the safety of replacement, and then use a flat-head screwdriver to pry up the outer ring to remove the entire light. After changing the bulb, tilt the advanced side and push the entire light.


The removed spotlights can be sold to the manufacturer for after-sales service. Generally, the warranty of LED products is at least two years.


Analyze the problem

3W MR16 LED (12V (stabilized input) spotlights and switching power supply (12V/2.5A), each switching power supply with 6~8pcs spotlights ranging from 6 to 8pcs, but after half a year of use, there are several groups of LED spotlights flashing phenomenon, Sometimes, all switching power supplies are hot (more than 60 degrees), the switching power supply is placed on the flower, and ventilation is also possible. When testing the voltage and current, the output and input are normal. When the LED is shining, the switching power supply has no output current. .


Analysis of possible causes


LED low-voltage spotlights refer to lights in which the driver is installed in M16 and M11 light cups and directly connected to the electronic transformer of halogen lights. Because the electronic transformer is designed for halogen lights, it is not suitable for use as the power supply of LED drivers. When three LEDs are connected in series and then connected to the halogen light transformer, there are two problems of not lighting up and low frequency flashing. The rated voltage of the low-voltage halogen light is 12V. In order to prolong the service life of the halogen light, the output voltage of the electronic transformer is intentionally designed to be slightly lower than the rated voltage of the halogen light, generally 11.3-11.5V. The conventional low-voltage LED driver is a Buck structure, which requires at least a 0.3V voltage difference during normal operation, that is, VBuck=0.3V. If the forward voltage of the PN junction of the LED is 3.4V, the sum of the forward voltages of the three LEDs is VF=10.2V. The voltage drop of the Schottky full bridge is about 1V, that is, VD=1V. When the input voltage VIN-(VD + VF) < VBuck, the driver will not work normally, and the LED will not light up. As shown in Figure 1, the three LEDs are connected to the electronic transformer with an output voltage of 11.3V through the Buck driver. The output voltage of the driver is only 10V, which is less than the on-voltage of the three LEDs connected in series, so the LEDs do not light up.


How to choose spotlights


Spotlights are divided into two types: low-voltage and high-voltage. Customers prefer to choose low-voltage spotlights, which have a longer life and higher luminous efficiency. The luminous efficiency of spotlights is represented by the power factor. The larger the power factor, the better the luminous efficiency. The power factor of ordinary spotlights is about 0.5, which is cheap. The power factor of high-quality spotlights can reach 0.99, which is slightly more expensive. Spotlights are generally used to enhance the lighting of decorative objects. They are usually embedded in ceilings or walls. Spotlights generally emit high temperatures when working, so you must buy high-quality products, otherwise there will be potential safety hazards. When the spotlight is used, it is necessary to deploy the transformer, and the light beads should also be of good quality, otherwise the light beads of the spotlight will be easily damaged. Think about the spotlight light beads in the ceiling, but it is quite troublesome to replace. However, the quality of spotlights on the market now varies, and it is difficult to distinguish good from bad with the naked eye.
