LED replacement lamp is currently the fastest growing market for LED lighting

For designers, there are two main challenges to installing LED lights on existing infrastructure: the size of the exterior. Replace the lamp must be able to install to the source of the pre frame.

Many people believe that the LED replacement lamp is currently the fastest growing market for LED lighting. The reason for the rapid growth is simple: these lights do not need to update the electrical infrastructure (wiring, transformers, dimmer and socket), which is a significant advantage of LED technology. For designers, there are two main challenges of installing LED lights on existing infrastructure:

1 dimensions. Replace the lamp must be able to install to the source of the pre frame.

2 electrical compatibility. Replace the lamp must be able to work on the existing electrical architecture, no flashing lights.

Below, we will discuss each challenge one by one. The existing framework has been installed to replace the physical limitations of the proposed lamp (i.e., the drive plate must be small enough) and the thermal limit requirements. These factors restrict the designer to replace the lighting program conditions (such as PAR, R and A type specification), the smaller the size of the application of the more difficult, such as MR16 and GU10. Size is the key factor restricting the replacement program, and thermal constraints are often more critical.

LED only emit visible light, unlike other technologies, which do not produce infrared radiation energy. As a result, white LED is more efficient than incandescent or halogen lamps, and most of the heat is dissipated through the inner conductor. Heat dissipation is the key factor that restricts the light intensity of the lamp tube, and the LED technology used in the lighting products is difficult to achieve the acceptable level of brightness in the mainstream market.

In order to break the brightness limit, the need to solve the problem of heat dissipation, which is the product of the necessary conditions for successful commercialization. The heat dissipation problem also directly affects the service life of the drive plate. In order to produce higher light intensity, the lamp must work at a very high temperature (+80 degrees C to +100 degrees C). At this temperature, the life of the drive plate will limit the work of the whole lamp, especially the electrolytic capacitor becomes a thorny problem. Because the electrolytic capacitor will soon dry at high temperatures, in such conditions, the capacitor will not exceed the working life of thousands of hours, which has become a constraint on the life of the entire lighting factor. Longer working life is one of the main selling points of LED lamp, for designers, the relatively short life of electrolytic capacitors become the main barrier of the design.
