Upgrading HID lamp is not complicated

Few years ago, LED corn lights price is high, and scared away so many factory owners. With the technology development, The prices have come down a lot, the price almost same or even lower than a branded traditional HID low bay or high bay fixtures.
Compared to traditional HID lamp, such as metal halide (MH), high pressure sodium ( HPS) and Mercury Vapor (MV), LED corn lights have follow advantages:
*   Typically use about 60%-80% less energy than traditional HID lamps, saving money
*   Can last 3-8 times longer. Save money on re-lamping and maintenance.


The biggest challenge with a factory lighting improvement involves replacing HID bulb or whole lighting fixture. Put simply, two solutions:
1.    Keep the old fixtures and retrofit them to accept LED corn bulbs
If your  fixtures are in good condition, we can consider to replace existing metal halide(MH) or high pressure sodium lamp(HPS) with LED corn bulbs. Traditional high bay or low bay fixtures use electronic ballasts, simply bypass/remove the fixture’s ballast before install a LED corn lamp. You may want to keep the ballast, but if you did so, it not economic and waste money on electric cost and ballast maintenance  in the long run.
2.    Change whole fixture with LED light fixture
Simply to use LED high bay or LED low bay light directly point to point replacement HID high bay or low bay lighting fixture.
When opting for LED lights, avoid purchases based on price alone, low price always means poor quality materials. Choose a good quality LED light fixture with a high lumen output, not high wattages.
Check with your local utility to see if it offers rebates for converting to LED lights. In come cases, as much as 75% or more of the cost of upgrading is covered by these programs.

When you want to upgrading your good condition HID high bay to LED lights, how many hours operating per day, and how much you paid for per kilowatt-hour? Install LED corn lights where you’ll use them most. Your investment will pack you back in energy savings very fast.

What ways can see LED street lights to replace the high pressure sodium lamp?

Under the condition of current technology,luminous efficiency of  LED street lamp  is more than high pressure sodium lamp, it is an indisputable fact that TEK LED street lamp can reach 160 LM/W. And HPS spectrum is concentrated in the yellow area, its color temperature is low, only 2000-2500 k, and relatively high color temperature such as LED, LED street light natural white temperature of 4000-5000 k, cold white is 5000-6500 k. At the same time compared with HPS, LED street lamp with high color rendering index, close to natural light in the actual lighting, can bring a person the sense of comfort. Followed by "irradiation uniformity", although the  LED street lamp  lighting is relatively concentrated, but can be by the light path of the second design, can make the light source of lamps and lanterns presents the ideal state, realize the reasonable light distribution curve adjustment, control the distribution of light, so a...

The advantage of new style TEK LED panel light is obvious

Image
TEK  LED panel light , continue to use the reflective surface luminous technology, light after secondary reflection through high light transmittance mask projection, reduce glare, the light is more soft and comfortable to the human eye to watch not easy fatigue, particularly for students who have long time exposure to indoor lighting lighting, subway passengers or office staff. The application of the patented reflective material ensures the reflection efficiency of the light, and the original high light effect of the panel light is retained to the maximum extent. In order to guarantee the reliability of the use,   the design principle of TEK LED panel light  adhering to the "maintenance", improve heat dissipation performance, reduce the LED light failure of lights and lanterns, significantly prolong the service life of the lights and lanterns, saving the maintenance cost of lights and lanterns. TEK LED panel light is more intelligent TEK LED panel light c...

Safe travel: TEK LED high bay light illuminate the locomotive base

Image
In recent years, China's rail transportation has been developing rapidly, and many second and third-tier cities have made great efforts to build urban subway projects, which have brought convenience to people.Subway passenger traffic is large, the operation security is always the top priority, the metro management department attaches great importance to the security of the train, and TEK LED high bay light  illuminate the locomotive base, which facilitates the maintenance and maintenance of subway vehicles. Traditional lighting there exists large droop, short service life, the problem such as glare, can't use how long will be replaced, is not only the economy, and the human eye in this light, easy to produce fatigue, especially the night repair subway locomotive, a bit not careful see not clear parts fault, cause hidden trouble.Today, many subway lines use LED high bay lights , which make lighting more efficient and more efficient.Second, can improve work efficiency, the ligh...
