Office Lighting: LED Lighting Fixtures vs. Traditional Lighting Fixtures

Office Lighting: LED Lighting Fixtures vs. Traditional Lighting Fixtures

Lighting can also be art, and office lighting design is also very important.Office lighting also affects our work efficiency and production efficiency.

The advantages and disadvantages of lighting are generally in the following directions: lifespan, cost, light efficiency (ie, energy saving or not), light quality, and accuracy and effectiveness of light distribution.

Comparison of advantages between LED lighting fixtures and traditional lighting fixture

Energy Saving

Electricity cost benefit, The power consumption of white LED is only one-tenth of  incandescent lamps, and it saves one-fourth of the energy. When considering the brightness, it saves more than fifty percent of energy than traditional lighting fixtures, and can save half of the lighting electricity bill in a year. The LED light source itself generates very little heat, which greatly reduces the space temperature and reduces the burden of air conditioning.

High Power Efficiency

All lamps, except incandescent lamps, require a dedicated power supply. The efficiency of the power supply also affects the efficiency of the entire lamp.

Take 36W T8 fluorescent lamp as an example, as input inductive ballast, the measured power is 45W, and the inductor power loss is 9W. power efficiency is reduced to 80%.

Most traditional lamps have a power loss of 10W and a power factor of 0.5. LED lamps have better efficiency. An 18W LED fluorescent lamp only needs 18W input power, and the power factor can reach more than 0.95. Compared with fluorescent lamps, it can save more than 50% of electricity, which means that a 18W LED fluorescent tube can replace a 36W fluorescent lamp

Protect Eyesight

The LED light source has fast response speed, DC drive input, and no flicker. It can reduce eye pain, prevent and improve myopia, and protect the eyes. Soft light provides a comfortable reading environment without light pollution.

Long Life

The lifespan of LED lighting fixture reaches 50,000 hours.The life of a fluorescent lamp is usually only 5,000 hours.Lifespan difference is nearly 10 times. Based on 14 hours of lighting per day, the life of a single lamp is nearly 10 years. During the application process, it not only saves replacement labor costs, but also saves lamp consumables.

High Color Rendering Index

High CRI of LED lighting fixture.The color rendering index of incandescent lamps is 95 and the color rendering index of fluorescent lamps is 65-75. The color rendering index of LED lighting fixture can be CRI>80 or CRI>90. The light emitted by traditional lamps is closer to white light than traditional lamps.

Environmental friendly

LED lighting fixture do not contain any toxic substances and will not cause damage to the environment. There will be no electromagnetic interference from the product, and it is a completely green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free light source.

Traditional fluorescent lamps contain mercury and are made of fragile glass. Mercury is a toxic substance harmful to the human body.

Healthy

LED lighting fixture is healthy, does not contain ultraviolet and infrared rays, and does not produce radiation. Infrared and ultraviolet radiation in traditional lighting are the main factors that cause the heat of displayed products to heat up and fade. There are also some biological infestations, excessive humidity, and air pollution in traditional lighting.

Safety

Both ends of the LED lighting fixtures are not exposed to the high voltage of the mains, and only have a DC safety voltage lower than 36V. There is no risk of electric shock. It is a completely safe lamp. Most of led lamps made with Flicker-Free Power supply.

High luminous efficiency

The luminous efficiency of fluorescent lamps is approximately 50-65 lumens per watt.The luminous efficiency of LED lighting fixture is above 100 lumnes per watt. The luminous efficiency of some companies' lamps has reached 130 lumens per watt. and it will continue to improve in the future, and the difference between twice.

Wide color range

Fluorescent lamp generally only have white light. LED lighting fixture can provide almost any color temperature
