As a new generation of light sources LED point light sources significantly differ from traditional thermal radiation and gas discharge light sources such as incandescent and high-pressure sodium lamps. Current LED point light sources have the following advantages in lighting:
- Compact Size:
Compared to traditional light sources LED point lights are smaller and lighter. They can be fashioned into various shapes, making them adaptable and broadly applicable for a range of lighting fixtures and equipment. - Eco-friendly:
LED point lights do not require the addition of metallic mercury during production, thereby preventing mercury pollution when disposed of, and their waste materials can be almost entirely recycled, saving resources and protecting the environment. - Safety and Stability:
LED point lights can be powered by low-voltage direct current, typically between 6~24V, making them safe, especially suitable for public spaces. Under favorable external conditions LED point lights exhibit lesser light decay and longer lifespans than traditional sources, without their lifespan being affected by frequent switching. - Shock and Impact Resistance:
The fundamental structure of an LED point light is a piece of electroluminescent semiconductor material placed on a leaded frame and sealed with epoxy resin. Without a glass shell and the need to vacuum the tube or fill it with specific gas (as in the case of incandescent or fluorescent lamps), LED point lights boast excellent shock and impact resistance, facilitating their production, transportation, and usage. - Strong Directivity:
Unlike traditional light sources, the light emitted from LED point lights is directional, enabling most of the light from the LED to directly illuminate the targeted surface, resulting in much higher utilization than conventional sources. - Quick Response Time:
The response time for incandescent bulbs is in milliseconds, whereas for LED point lights, it's in nanoseconds, making them widely used in traffic and automotive signal lighting. - High Luminous Efficiency:
With the development of LED lighting technology, the luminous efficiency of LED point lights has increased from less than 10lm/W to over 100lm/W, and there's still significant potential for further improvement. - Rich Colors:
LED point lights can emit and change to various colors in the visible spectrum through current changes, chemical modifications, and mixing of monochromatic lights. Even white light LEDs can produce a range of color temperatures, offering significant advantages in interior decoration and landscape lighting. - No Flicker, No UV:
LED point lights use direct current, providing stable, flicker-free illumination primarily concentrated in the visible spectrum, without UV or IR radiation. This prevents the adverse effects of flicker and improves eye comfort. - Excellent Brightness Adjustable:
Based on the principle of LED point light emission, the luminous brightness or output flux of LED changes directly with current. Since the operating current can be adjusted within a broad range, LED point lights exhibit excellent adjustability, laying the foundation for demand-based lighting and seamless brightness control.
These unmatched advantages of LED point light sources over traditional ones have made them a staple in the global lighting industry.
