Round LED lights

Every year the scope of application of LED lamps expands. They can be found literally everywhere: in residential buildings, in official institutions, in the design of exhibitions, shop windows. Today, many choose round LED lights.

The following main advantages of such models can be highlighted:

1. Substantial savings electricity and cash.
2. Light intensity LED lamps are able to illuminate more space, while spending a minimum of energy.
3. Longer service life - compared to incandescent bulbs.
4. Easy installation. To install such a device, you do not need to have special skills and knowledge.
5. Lack of extraneous sounds during the work.
6. In the process of studying the LEDs did not reveal any negative effects on the human body.
7. Saving space during installation. The round shape is universal and can fit into any interior, be it a children's room, a workshop or an office space.
8. These lamps do not heat up in the process. They can be easily mounted inside the stretch ceilings, which are a film sheet. Such models can be used in the design of wooden and other flammable decorative elements.
9. Harsh light is not very good for visual perception, and many lamps in this regard are just not very comfortable. For LED devices characteristic softer light, which will not be annoying.

Features:

1. Power. It can be at least 5 W, in some cases it reaches 80 W - depending on the purpose and type of device. At the same time, the power consumption is stated, but in fact it often turns out that one small device can easily replace several luminaires having the same power, but working with other technologies.
2. To work such models need 220 V - this is the standard. At the same time they consume 80% less energy than conventional lamps.This makes buying them a sensible investment.
3. Due to the round shape, the luminous flux is distributed evenly and captures a large area of ​​illumination.
4. The light produced is very saturatedwhile it has a specifically directed angle of illumination.

Modern manufacturers produce many LED-lamps. Conventionally, they can be divided into groups according to several factors:

They can be used everywhere - both indoors and for outdoor lighting.

Round outdoor LED lamps are used for the main and decorative lighting of buildings and other objects of architecture and landscape design. For their manufacture apply moisture-and frost-resistant materials, characterized by special strength and durability.

They are used to illuminate stadiums, children's and sports fields, car parks, as well as for other objects with a large territory.

In residential premises and offices use indoor LEDs. At the same time, they can be equipped with a control panel, with which you can not only turn the lamp on and off, but also control the intensity of the light itself, changing it from a bright day to a soft night one, if desired. Such lamps are called dimmable.

Separately, it is worth noting the use of LED lamps rounded in the housing sector. Both internal and external light sources are used in this area. For the streets apply options with automatic detection of the degree of darkness. Such devices are automatically switched on at dusk.

In the hallways, elevators and other public areas often install devices with motion sensors. They automatically turn on when a moving object appears in their zone of action, and are also able to react to loud sounds — they can turn on in advance (as a person approaches).

LED lamps for housing and communal services are equipped with special protective shades,which protect the device not only from natural precipitation in the form of rain, snow or hail. They are resistant to mechanical damage. Because of this, they are often called anti-vandal.

LED lamps can be installed in walls, ceilings, floors, as well as in furniture panels.

By design, such devices can be with an external or internal power source, recessed, overhead and suspended. Modern designers skillfully combine all types of such devices in the interior, using them for both basic and decorative lighting.

Built-in LED lights are flat circles. They are often used in rooms with low ceilings - for example, bathrooms, pantries and other outbuildings. They can be used in drywall constructions and on any other surfaces.

The mounted diode device is mounted on a bracket with a swivel mechanism that allows the lamp to rotate. Some specimens also have built-in brightness controls. Such devices are produced by many manufacturers. A high quality dimmable luminaire does not have to be expensive. For example, products of the Russian manufacturer "Era" is popular among buyers, because they are attracted by the optimal ratio of affordable prices and good quality.

There are certain disadvantages of such devices:

1. High price (compared to other light sources).
2. For normal operation of LED lamps requires a constant voltage in the network, and its drops have a negative impact on the operation of devices. For stable operation of such devices requires a converter or transistor.
3. If a single lamp uses a large number of diodes, then such a device requires additional cooling.
4. Relatively small selection of colors. As a rule, LED lamps have only one color - white. It can be cold, warm and neutral.To change the color used color filter circles.
5. LED lamps require a special fixture.. Ordinary here are not suitable.
6. The peculiarity of such a lamp is that the lighting is directional, whereas a regular lamp gives a more diffuse glow. For many consumers, this is a significant disadvantage.
