What about using 240v LED bulbs?

Our 240vAC customers are certainly using less power when they use LED bulbs but they are also getting substantially less light - the new 30LED bulb is generally as bright as a 40w incandescent although more of its light can be used in a spotlight application like reading lamps etc making it equal to a 60w unit in a direct line away vertically from the bulb.

There are some power losses associated with running low voltage LED directly from high voltage AC/DC supplies.

This can reverse to some extent the power savings of LED lighting when used on a 240v supply.

When attempting to reduce 240vAC down to the 3.5 ~ 11 volt DC range is wasteful in the form of heat generation. (Even using modern switching) As we improve the technology we'll improve the performance under 240vAC conditions as well.

1.APPLICATIONS

Entertainment lighting

LED technology is now bright enough to enable LED lighting in the entertainmentindustry. Lighting solutions for film studios, theatres, stage lights, disco lighting andtheme parks like colored spotlights, flood lighting, color changing lighting, wall washlighting, cove lighting and column lighting are all deployed. All areas have thechallenge that controllable dynamic colors are needed to make a real difference.LEDs are the perfect solution for these applications.They combine color capabilities with safety, long life, and enable more innovativeand smaller light solutions.

Architectural lighting

The possibilities are endless for creative architecture using light as a unique design element. The examples of LEDs in this market are numerous and an inspiration for any architect. Unlike bulbs, there are no fragile components to break, even if abused.LED Power Light Sources combine very high light output in any color you want as well as white with possible special effects through mixing red, green and blue or by using the individual colors. LED products deliver design flexibility,energy savings, long life and reliability. This makes them a perfect light source for architectural lighting.

City Beautification

People want to be proud of the city they live in. Light plays a vital role in the emotional feelings about their hometown. LEDs now enable even more and better lighting solutions. Highlighting special buildings or bridges. Marking lights in the town center . LEDs can combine the advantages of reliability and energy efficiency with high light output.

Landscape lighting

In some places it is very important that lights are always working. Especially in areas where you want to increase safety, or where a positive atmosphere must be created. Applications such as landscape, path lighting, car parks, bollards, security lighting and garden lighting can now benefit from the advantages of LED lighting. With LEDs, there are no fragile components to break, even if abused, so the robust, reliable light sources enable sealed for life designs that guarantee light when and where it's needed.

Signage

LEDs offers innovative solid state lighting solutions for your contour lighting, band lighting, and channel letter installations. Solid state LED technology offer many advantages over other lighting technologies. It contains no glass tubes. LED-based products are simply a series of LED modules clinched on in fixed intervals. Glass is a constant nightmare for many sign companies due to breakage caused by harsh weather, transportation, and vandalism. LEDs operate at low voltages - 12volts. This "safe" operating voltage gives sign installers and building owners the comfort that their signs won't be causing fires. LED products are easy to install. And the LED products save energy: up to 80%!

Medical lighting

LED lighting is successfully used in many areas of the medical market. Helping to cure skin cancer in a more painless way, because LED products can be made to contain no UV, no forward heat and no Infra Red. A red light source can be used very close to the skin without causing a painful experience for the patient. Doctors can now operate under White LED lighting and have sufficient light levels under a very convenient light source. The world's first surgical lamp with cold light and 50.000-hour life with advanced LED technology is scheduled for release in Q3 of this year. Also dentists are massively adopting LED based dental curing devices as it allows a cordless, smaller, lighter device which reduces curing time of the filling epoxy.

Portable lighting

LED is an ideal fit for most portable lighting applications. The solid-state technology results in an extremely rugged light. The small size of the light source allows for a compact product design. High power white (and colored) sources are available today, allowing rapid adoption of this state of the art technology in torches, cavers headlights, lanterns, bicycle lamps and diving lamps. And they last longer: up to 50x the life of some incandescent bulbs. Combine this with the robustness and small size and you can now have a product which looks great and is sealed for life.

Interior lighting

The real revolution is now starting in this market as well with the newly introduced Warm White LEDs with improved color rendering (~85%). These compact new light sources enable new styling possibilities and unique lighting solutions creating the magical effects of hidden source light, installed in places never before possible. Through the use of LED power light sources, replacing light sources will no longer be needed. So LEDs also offers interior designers unique design possibilities and solutions which can be sealed for life.

3. CAUTIONS (Storage) :

(1) important note concerning the installation of LED products:
Excessive heat will cause LEDs to fail prematurely.They must be operated in an ambient temperature,not exceeding room temperature, for maximum life time.As the temperature rises above 23 degrees C, the life time goes down.Active cooling, such as a small fan, may be required if they are installed in a small enclosed space without ventilation.

4. NOTE

Luxeon MR-16 are designed with built-in fuses, overheat and current limiting protection. Safety features are enhanced by using components and materials that are able to withstand conditions beyond the limits of normal intended use. Luxeon MR-16 is produced to conform to criteria set by CE standards. Optimal performance of Luxeon MR-16 can be achieved by only using drivers, power supply units (PSU) and dimming controls with specified voltage and current ratings which are UL or similar approved types When installing Luxeon MR -16 in wet conditions, extra precaution must be taken. Please ensure that the PSU and dimming controls are properly insulated to avoid electrocution. Luxeon MR -16 can be safely used in temperatures from -40 degrees C to 50 degrees C.
