LED underwater lights, also known as LED submerged lights, are a type of underwater light. Simply put, these are lights installed under water. They are small and exquisite in appearance, elegant and beautiful, similar in shape to some in-ground lights but with an additional installation base fixed with screws. Since LED underwater lights are deployed under water and need to withstand certain pressure, they are usually made from stainless steel, 8-10mm tempered glass, waterproof connectors, silicone rubber sealing rings, and arc multi-angle refractive strengthened glass, ensuring waterproof, dustproof, leakproof, and corrosion-resistant features.
Compared to traditional underwater lights
LED underwater lights are more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. They offer a variety of lighting changes and are more decorative, making them widely used in various
landscape lighting systems. However, as manufacturers of LED lighting fixtures, there are some issues that need special attention during the installation of LED underwater lights.
Implement Anti-static Measures
During the processing, production, and installation of LED underwater light products, certain anti-static measures should be adopted, such as grounding the workbench, workers wearing anti-static clothing, wearing anti-static rings, and wearing anti-static gloves. If possible, install an anti-static ion fan, and ensure that the air humidity is around 65% during installation to prevent static electricity from forming due to overly dry air. Additionally, LED underwater lights of different quality grades have differing anti-static capabilities, with higher-quality LEDs being more resistant to static electricity.
Use DC Constant Current Power Supply for LED Underwater Lights
Under constant current power supply control, the forward voltage drop of
LED wall washers LED floodlights, LED underwater lights, and LED ground lights decreases as the temperature of the LED chip increases. This situation does not significantly impact LED underwater lights. However, constant voltage driving could cause the chip's current in LED underwater lights to increase as the temperature rises, which could severely damage the LED underwater lights. Therefore, LED underwater lights should be powered by a DC constant current power supply.
Pay Attention to the Sealing of LED Products
Regardless of the type of LED lighting product used outdoors, issues concerning moisture-proofing and sealing are unavoidable, particularly for LED underwater lights. Improper handling of sealing issues can directly affect the service life of LED underwater lights.
