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.

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 can form a

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

Image
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 as to realize the uniformity of illumination.

Rule of thumb: what are the installation instructions of DALI LED high bay light?

Image
DALI LED high bay light , also known as LED warehouse light, mainly used in factory workshop, warehouse, exhibition hall, etc., have gradually entered homes, because it is using the latest LED lighting energy saving technology, high reflectivity, high power, high utilization rate of light source. But good lamps and lanterns need specification installation, to highlight its advantages, below for everyone to explain the DALI LED high bay light installation: 1，Define DALI LED high bay light installation height according to the lighting environment, because the environment will change the reflection efficiency of lamps and lanterns. Usually the height of DALI LED high bay light  should be above 5 meters, thread is not close to the lamp shell. If installation height is less than 3 meters, protective measures must be taken to prevent a vehicle to touch. 2，TEK DALI LED high bay light protection class is IP65, choose waterproof transformer, chip packaging place with high temperature resi
