Why LED will become the mainstream light source

Why LED will become the mainstream light source

With the continuous development of the industry, breakthroughs in technology, and vigorous promotion of applications, the light efficiency of LEDs is also constantly improving, and the price is constantly falling. The emergence of new combined dies has also increased the power of a single LED tube (module). Through the continuous efforts of the industry in research and development, breakthroughs in new optical designs, and the development of new types of lamps, the situation of single product is expected to be further reversed. The improvement of control software also makes LED lighting more convenient to use. These gradual changes all reflect the broad prospects of LED light-emitting diodes in lighting applications.

LED is called the fourth-generation light source, which has the characteristics of energy saving, environmental protection, safety, long life, low power consumption, low heat, high brightness, waterproof, miniature, shockproof, easy dimming, beam concentration, and easy maintenance. It can be widely used in Various indications, displays, decorations, backlights, general lighting and other fields.

LED advantages: high electro-optical conversion efficiency (close to 60%, green environmental protection, long life (up to 100,000 hours), low operating voltage (about 3V), repeated switching without loss of life, small size, less heat, high brightness, sturdy and durable, Easy dimming, various colors, stable beam concentration, no delay in startup;

Disadvantages of LED: high initial cost, poor color rendering, low efficiency of high-power LED, constant current drive (requires a dedicated drive circuit). In contrast, all kinds of traditional lighting have certain drawbacks.

Incandescent lamp: low electro-optical conversion efficiency (about 10%), short life (about 1000 hours), high heating temperature, single color and low color temperature;

Fluorescent lamps: low electro-optical conversion efficiency (about 30%), harmful to the environment (including harmful elements such as mercury, about 3.5-5mg/piece), non-adjustable brightness (low voltage cannot start to emit light), ultraviolet radiation, flickering phenomenon, relatively low start-up Slow, the price of rare earth raw materials rises (the proportion of phosphors in the cost increases from 10% to 60~70%), repeated switching affects the life; the volume is large.

High-pressure gas discharge lamps: high power consumption, unsafe use, short life, heat dissipation problems, mostly used for outdoor lighting.
