With the popularization of LED energy-saving lamps, more and more businesses and households select the LED energy-saving lamps. Currently, LED tube light is the indoor LED lighting that is most widely used, the most widely used product, because of its incomparable advantages over of the traditional fluorescent tube, so there are a large number of enterprises producing the LED tube light on the market, there is also a great difference in performance and quality. The users have no idea when purchasing the LED tube light, It is possibility that spent a high price but not to buy the ideal product we want. The lighting experts come to share with you how to choose a good LED tube light from profiles, the power, the chip:

1.First, inspect the profiles and structure of the LED tube light
The LED tube light sold on the market are basically divided into two kinds: all-plastic, half plastic half-tubes. As far as the thermal performance is concerned, the thermal performance of the semi-plastic semi-tubes is better, greatly extending the life of the LED tube light.

2.Second, inspect the chip of the LED tube light

The chip currently used in the fluorescent lamp is 3528,3020,3014 and other specifications in China mainland, these types of specifications is mainly different with the sizes, chip cooling. For the same brand of chips, packaging manufacturers are not the same, its quality is not the same.

3.Third, inspect the power of the LED fluorescent tube

LED fluorescent tube power is divided into two kinds of built-in and external. the so-called built-in power Referred can be placed inside the tube. The biggest advantage of this built-in is that you can make a direct replacement for existing fluorescent tubes, without any circuit changes. Therefore, the shape is made into the built-growing strip in order to be inserted the semi-circular tube.

4.Fourth, check up other accessories of the LED fluorescent tubes

The fittings workmanship of the good quality LED tube light is very fine, and complete accessories, the main parts are: power protection sleeve, insulation film, heat shrink tubing, insulated boxes, fixed ends, PC mask, the substrate and so on.



Having Learned how to choose a good LED lamp, now we have to decide how to choose a good LED lighting suppliers. As we all know, the reputation of a good business is based on excellent LED light, the lead lighting located in Pinghu, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China is a medium-sized LED manufacturers, which have been focusing on satisfying the customers whose needs always is primary, constantly improving and innovating the R & D and production team, determining to produce the more environmentally friendly LED tube light and other LED indoor and outdoor lighting to adapt to the user of the environment, the products are exported to overseas, unanimously praising by the European and American countries, click www.ledclan.com for more detailed performance and use of LED tube light or Log www.lead-lighting.com to obtain professional performances and usage instructions of other LED lighting.

With increasing environmental awareness of the consumers, the general self-ballasted fluorescent lighting (commonly known as energy-saving lamps) due to saving energy is welcomed by consumers. When buying energy-saving lamps, we need to pay attention to the following aspects:

1, the product packaging and sign should be complete.

The mark of origin (name or trademark, etc.) should be clear and durably marked on the product packaging of the Energy saving lamp, the rated voltage and voltage range, rated power, rated frequency, etc., as well as the current, the other additional information referring to the safe use

2, the product has energy-efficiency labeling

The energy efficiency rating of the Energy saving lamp is divided into three classed in China mainland, in which the 1 class energy-efficient is the highest.. The higher the energy efficiency rating，the better the energy saving. The Energy efficiency label printed is pasted on conspicuous place of the smallest packaging of the CFL. Contents include: producer name or abbreviation, product specification, energy efficiency rating, nominal power, tone, and the initial luminous efficiency and energy efficiency performed national standard number GB19044-2003.

3, select the power and light color of the energy-saving lamp

Power – power (P) reflects the size of the lamp power. According to illumination requirements, select the appropriate energy-saving lamp power. In the case of the same lighting effects, the power consumption of the energy-saving is about one sixth of the incandescent lamp. If you want to get the same lighting effects as the 60W incandescent, generally choose 10W energy-saving lamps. 9W-13W is more appropriate for the lighting in small area of ​​a few square meters room, the straight 32W-36W energy-saving lamps can be used for lighting in above 10 million meters room.

Color – mainly based on the use of the environment and personal preferences. The warm tones of energy-saving lamps labeled “RN” or “RD” can be purchased in the living room and the bedroom, dining room and other more intimate spaces, cool energy-saving lamps marked with “RR” or “RZ” can be used in kitchen and other places, and the luminous efficiency, color rendering index of the warm tones of energy saving lamp is higher than the cool energy-saving lamps.

4, select the appearance of energy-saving lamps

Inspect whether the lamp, lamp is loose, whether the lamp phosphor coating is uniform or seamless coating, the powder, phosphor powder should be crystal white, there should not be yellow or gray phenomenon.

Second make sure whether the light the lamp emit is normal and uniform after energized, there should be no obvious dark spots and light flicker.

5, Beacause the ballast circuit is designed in the self-ballasted fluorescent lamp, we’d better use it wherever the light source need to be frequently turn on and off ，moreover the energy-saving generally can not use as the dimmable lamp or other dimmable lamps.

6, understand the meaning of energy-saving lamp Model

If an energy-saving lighting is marked Model: YPZ220/9-3U · RR · D6500K, YPZ represents self-ballasted fluorescent lamps (CFL) used for general lighting, 220 indicates the rated voltage 220V, 9 represents the rated power 9W, 3U expressed the lights structure (composed of the three U-shaped tube), RR represents the light emission color, D represents the electronic self-ballasted, 6500K correlated express the color temperature or expressed as daylight in Chinese. only the first three is general marked for the energy-saving lamps.



Having learned what we need pay attention to when choosing an energy-saving lamp，if we want to make our lives more energy saving, of course, we also need to choose the LED lighting that is more energy-saving and environmental protection, there are many enterprises engaging in manufacturing the LED lighting, Lead lighting is one of them,lead lighting has been continuing to strengthen the use of certified raw materials such as LED chips, LED drivers, heat sinks, shell, etc., and improve R & D and production team, striving to adopt the best materials and technology to produce best quality LED flood light, LED tunnel light, LED tube light and other indoor and outdoor lighting, using highly integrated high-brightness COB as the light source of the LED Flood light and LED tunnel light and other outdoor lighting，adopting high brightness SMD LED as the light source of the LED tube light, the low-voltage constant current driver ensure the alternating current can be convert into direct current so that improve the energy use and reduces the stroboscopic effect stimulating the human eye, fully guarantee octahedron illuminated area of LED flood lights and bright light to adapt to outdoor open environment ，the soft and bright light of the LED tunnel light and LED tube light makes us safe driving in tunnels and enjoy work and study.As an ISO 9001:2000-certified factory,the lead lighting can meet the strict standards of CE, RoHS, FCC certificate, these strict producing standards guarantee our products distribute smoothly both in domestic and international markets. visit www.ledclan.com to Learn more vivid and specific characteristics of the LED tube light or click www.lead-lighting.com/products/bid32-1.htm for more detailed and professional LED tunnel light or return homepage for other other LED lighting.

LED has been around for ten years, but it is previously just as a practical tool such as automotive and electrical bulbs and used as the complex lighting with high-end designed over a long time. With the lower price of LED lamps and the rise of the luminous efficiency, it has been seen as the mainstream lighting equipment in future. Although this scene has not yet become a reality, but it is probably about to change.
According to McKinsey & Company (McKinsey) expected in the next five years, LED general lighting market will reach four times more than now. While for most people, it simply means that the incandescent bulbs are replaced with LED light bulbs in the family, but in the recent New York Design Week, the designers have yet demonstrated the more unique ideas. There are characteristics of compact, less heat, color temperature range, feature-rich as well as cheap and easy to standardized production for the LED lights, which designers can take advantage to break through the lighting mode of the traditional lamp and reinterpret the meaning of lamps.
This article will introduce you to some of the most stunning whimsy, as well as on the design concept of the designer himself explained.

The Amparo Series Tenndo designed: “Amparo is a handmade lamps, which is made of the recyclable cardboard laser cutting, LED light bar and color cable. This lamp can be hung, flat or can stand on the edge of the table. “
The Stickbulb RUX Designed: “Every Stickbulb is an LED light strip, which are placed on a smooth wooden. Most people can use some of the waste materials and narrow wood to match.”

The broom lights PeterisZilbers and Mārtiņš Straupe designed. “Remote Digital LED lighting technology make a broom into a fully functional LED lights.”

The “bud light” series the Nervous System designed: “Three-dimensional printing technology will enable us to create complex organisms shape, while the LED compact size is the key to all of this.”

The owl lamp Fishtnk designed: “This owl is an LED lamp chandelier, crafted with plywood and it can show all light changes from dawn to dusk.”

The jellyfish lights Qis Design Designed: “There is a knob at each end of the lamp，the former can adjust the light levels, the other can adjust the lighting angle, shape, resembling the one gull wings toward the sky.

The new GROWTH Series CP Lighting designed: “In addition to the Wild West style of the early development， LED lights seems to have become a perfect solution these years and now I can design a lighting system whose various parts can be replaced to meet customer sustainable development and eco-friendly values. “

The folding wooden lamp Vahakn designed: “the ultra-thin LED strip allows me to use the 1 mm thick plank to design the strong, diverse and beautiful lighting.”

The “coordinate” LED work lights Gukedaisen designed: the sustainable development of the LED technology is a challenge for manufacturers, which is not only keep up with the pace of technological development, but also should take advantage of new technologies. These “coordinate series” LED work lights completely dimmed can adjust along three axes to obtain the directional light sources. These light sources can last 37 years, and completely free of mercury.Apparently，LED lighting is closely connected to design to bring us the extraordinary experience and unique enjoyment. Nowadays, LED light is to provide daily lighting, along with the popularity of LED lighting, its design will be updated to enter our lives, the LED flood light and LED tube light represent the outdoor decorative lighting and indoor lighting,the LED tube light enjoys a great popularity in our corridor, restaurants, shopping, leisure and entertainment, galleries, exhibition halls and other indoor environments everywhere, the LED flood light is mainly used in city squares, parks, stadiums, the facades of large commercial buildings and hotel, stage, waiting rooms, airports etc. where need higher brightness lighting to illuminate, Lead Lighting adopts high brightness SMD as the light source of the LED tube and highly integrated and high brightness COB as the light source of the LED flood light, which fully guaranteed stability and soft light of the LED tube light and octahedron breadth and brightness irradiation range of the LED flood light, while LED tube light and LED flood light use low voltage constant current driver, which current the alternating into direct current so that improve energy efficiency and reduce the waste heat energy and stroboscopic effect excite the human eye, the most important is that the LED lighting without adding mercury and other heavy metals harmful to our body and pollution the environment, that’s why the LED light is famous for energy-saving and environmental protection ，login www.ledclan.com to learn more features and uses of the LED tube light and surf www.lead-lighting.com to know more awesome LED floodlights and other LED lighting.

Why a lot of people are confused by the LED flood light and the LED Spotlights is because that there is no one standard to distinguish the light projection angle, why are they often used together, what can simply be understood is that the light beam of the LED spot light is more uniform, which is the same piont light source as the LED flood light，both of them can relatively concentrate light on buildings or landscape objects, but the LED spot light can also be made into astigmatism, then its irradiated area is quite similar to the regular octahedron irradiated area of the LED flood light，so the two are likely to be confused



Considering the LED flood light and the LED spotlight can be adjusted, the LED flood light is just a category of the cast light, estimated that you’ve got a clearer understanding! For the quality, then, there is no uniform standard to distinguish, basically those who produce the LED Spotlights are based on the approximate shape parameters or the appearance of adjustment, so that the more choices for the cooling problems, the reasonable thermal structure avoid the glare, a good light shade is needed to form a surface light source. Now use more matte or add some materials, as the development of these years， the performance of the light transmittance has been further improved. SMD LED is mostly used for low voltage driving, the aluminum plate is adopted to heat. Now the LED Flood light is not specifically used for lighting, some are used to make a good projection effects，for instance，lighting cast on the facades of the hotels and other commercial buildings and the government buildings.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently re-modified the contest rules about PAR38 LED lamps in “L Prize” competition plan. It is understood that the beam pattern of the participating lighting asked to be transferred to be wider after the rules were revised, the pressure the manufacturers face is relatively alleviated. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it will through the “Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)” and “Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)”.The two plans offer new solid-state lighting (SSL) support for research funding to OLED technology .

PAR38 “L Prize” competition was started in 2008, Philips won 60W lamps class champion in the competition in 2011. The real significance of the PAR38 competition lies that the halogen incandescent lamps are gradually replaced with LED lamps. Currently, the U.S. Department of Energy has considered that Class A PAR38 lamps and lighting is the most widely used, so the focus of the part of the “LPrize” contest is corresponding socket that is currently also to help LED achieve maximum energy efficiency.

the “L Prize” contest in 2011

Following Philips, the general lighting (GE) and Florida Lighting Science Group have announced plans to participate in the A-type lamps contest, but PAR38 competition still open. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) temporarily halted the contest in 2011, and then restarted again on March 2012. After restarting，some of the competition rules have been changed over the previous generation, and now the competed manufacturers required to submit the required number of samples.

According to the contest rules appeared, PAR38 “L Prize” winner will receive a $ 5,000,000 financial support, as well as the purchase orders from the U.S. government for winning luminaires. Philips Lighting won the $ 10 million financial support in Class A contest before, but its investment in the related research and development may far more than this number, but Philips finally squeezed into the leader position of the LED retrofit lamp technology after making these efforts.

Revised rules were introduced

According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) introduced that the latest amendments were adjusted according to market circumstances, the maximum allowable beam of the distribution pattern specification of the luminous intensity is adjusted from the previous12 ° to 15 °.

The second change is that the appropriateness of the request. Previously the organizers claimed that LED products must be used in the United States， the organizers ask the final assembly of the participating fixture to be done in the United States after the revised and the participants must have business units in the United States. The requirement of the lamps in the first production year also have been adjusted， the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) won’t require contestants to promise producing 250,000 lamps after winning the L Prize award in the first year any more.

OLED financial support plan

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the new FY 2014 SBIR and STTR funding programs including OLED. And revealed that formal tendering statement will be issued on August 12 this year, the deadline for the submission of Letter of Intent is September 3, 2013, the deadline for applications is October 15, 2013.

U.S. government has implemented the LED prize contests to manufacturers to produce more innovative and high quality LED lamps, with the constant support of the government, it is clear that LED lighting have begun to enjoy a great popularity in the United States!
