Round LED lights

 Round LED lights

Round LED lamps - devices designed for artificial primary or decorative lighting. Classical devices are presented on the market in a wide range. They are used for lighting commercial, administrative and residential premises, medical facilities, offices and other objects.

LED lighting features

The basis of such lighting devices are LEDs. The power of the device depends on their type and quantity. Its indicators vary in a wide range (from 5 to 80 W). LED devices have a low operating voltage, which eliminates the risk of fire.

An interesting fact: lamps with LEDs practically do not heat up. Because of this feature, they can be mounted in a suspended ceiling or furnishings.

Devices of a round form promote uniform distribution of a light stream.

They also differ:

  • high contrast;
  • good color rendering (index is 75-85);
  • low current consumption (from 0.35 A).

LED luminaires for outdoor or indoor lighting are instantly lit when voltage is applied from a standard 220 V electrical network.

Varieties of round lighting devices

These lamps are available in a wide variety. Depending on the purpose and installation site, you can choose the model in the desired color with the required technical characteristics and dimensions. Devices:

  • Different type of installation. There are furniture, wall, ceiling, mortise, suspended.
  • Possess various sizes. Devices with a large diameter are suitable for the main lighting of large premises: living rooms, halls, halls, outlets. Small and medium-sized will fit perfectly into small objects.They will not "burden" the space and visually reduce it.
  • They differ in the number of LEDs. There are models with one or more lamps.
  • Have a different color glow. It is white cold or warm, as well as neutral.
  • Available with or without remote control. Dimmable lamp (with PU) is easy to use. With the help of the remote control, it is possible to adjust the intensity of the lighting in the room without getting up from the sofa or the workplace.
  • Can be equipped with a built-in battery. Such options are the best solution for organizing an emergency lighting system. In the event of a planned or emergency power outage, they will provide minimal illumination for the completion of work at an enterprise or the safe evacuation of people.

Luminaires can be for indoor or outdoor installation. Street models are designed for decorative lighting of architectural structures, buildings, lighting parks, squares in the dark. They are made of durable materials that are resistant to adverse weather conditions. Also on the market are anti-vandal models.

Benefits

LED lighting devices have the following advantages:

  • Low energy consumption (more economical up to 70% compared to other types of lamps).
  • Long service life. Luminaires with diodes are designed for continuous operation for 50,000 hours (approximately 12 years of operation with the device turned on every day for 10 hours).
  • Ecological safety. In LED devices there is no mercury and other substances hazardous to human health and the environment. Due to this, spent appliances do not require specialized disposal.
  • Lack of extraneous noise during the work.
  • Vibration resistance, mechanical strength and reliability. The luminaire housing is a monolithic construction made of aluminum alloy or ultrastrong plastic. Such a “shell” is a reliable protection of internal parts from falls, impacts and other mechanical effects.
  • Lack of flicker. Diode lamp provides a smooth glow. Due to the lack of a stroboscopic effect, it does not cause strain and eye fatigue.
  • High quality lighting. The light emitted from LED devices, in its performance as close as possible to natural solar radiation. It is comfortable for the eyes.

LED luminaire types are a cost effective solution. They do not require the financial cost of operation. For their work does not need to purchase specialized control gear. Devices also do not require maintenance.

disadvantages

Despite numerous advantages, round LED-lamps have some disadvantages.

These include:

  1. High price. For the LED lamp will have to pay much more than a halogen or mercury lamp. However, every year diode technologies are becoming more affordable financially.
  2. The possibility of premature failure. The longevity of such luminaires can be less than declared by the manufacturer, since it depends not only on the operating potential of the diodes, but also on the efficiency of the heat sink and the service life of the driver.
  3. Small indicators of a light stream.

Despite the shortcomings, every year an increasing number of potential consumers prefer LED round lamps. They are easy to install, economical, safe and durable. All these advantages more than compensate for the above disadvantages.

Selection rules

Before buying a luminaire circle, it is important to study the technical characteristics of the device and select the device with regard to its installation and room features. For private facilities, the best solution would be to buy an instrument of average power (5-12W). The larger the room space, the more powerful the equipment will be required for its high-quality lighting. It is also important to consider the type of diodes and the manufacturer. Give preference to products of well-known and time-tested brands - this way you will protect yourself from the purchase of low-quality products.

Pay attention to the degree of protection of the device (IP index from 20 to 68). The higher the value, the more protected the equipment is from dust, dirt and moisture.

For wet rooms (bathroom, kitchen) it is advisable to look at models with a high index (from 40). Manufacturers often indicate on which surfaces the device can be mounted (ceiling, wall, tension structure). When choosing, you need to consider this information.

Also pay attention to the appearance of the device: its design, color, size. A round flat lamp fits into any interior and style.

With the help of such devices it is possible to bring a zest to the design, zone the space, place light accents.There are a huge number of round models on the market, which means that everyone will be able to choose the best option for themselves and arrange the room in an original way.
