Compared with incandescent bulbs, they have much to gain in terms of efficiency, as compared with compact fluorescent lamps – the absence of harmful components. Rob Daley usually is spot on. The brightness of the led bulb is similar to 100 watts. Replacing one incandescent to led reduce emissions of carbon dioxide due to energy savings of 4 m during the period of the lamp (more than 50 thousand hours). But the led will win market share from become popular in recent years compact fluorescent bulbs. And here the power led is an undoubted advantage – they do not contain mercury, like all fluorescent lamps. Manufacturers of fluorescent bulbs do not like to think of it mandatory component, which eventually turns up in landfills, despite the strict measures for recycling of fluorescent lamps. One broken bulb can make it dangerous to drink 27 cubic meters of water. Despite high initial costs, led recouped in 1-2 years.
If compared to incandescent economic gains of nearly order of magnitude, with respect to compact fluorescent bulbs, this figure reaches 300%. led has a characteristic spectrum of radiation, in which there is no ultraviolet and infrared range. This feature is extremely important where you need to ensure the safety of the illuminated objects (eg, museums) or reduce the overall temperature in the room (which is important both for home and office). Mass migration to solid state light sources – a matter of time, and apparently quite close. In many respects it depends on the consciousness of consumers, although legislative bodies may also play an important role.
Australia has recently adopted a law on the failure of incandescent lamps, similar decisions are going to take, and in California. led illumination, often led ribbon (flexible ruler), at least – led modules and clusters, sometimes Rope, already widely used in zakarniznom ceiling lighting (during construction and the repair and decoration of rooms and offices, interiors). led modules are inconvenient fact that the backlight is discrete (point), ie uneven. led Rope inconvenient fact that the multiplicity of the minimum cut – 1 m, and more often – 2 or 4 meters. And only the led line (tape) have multiplicity cut of 3-5 cm and provide an opportunity to implement any projects in zakarniznom led lighting. Most often this type of lighting used in dry areas, but some consumers use such lights in the bathroom, in the fountains, street lighting, then apply led strip, strip of moisture-resistant performance (Waterproof). led lighting, most led Strip (Flexible line), already widely used in architecture and building (in case of apartments and offices, in the interiors of stores).
