LED industrial lighting replacement trend analysis (1): traditional fluorescent lamps

Industrial lighting generally includes: factory interior lighting, open-air operation sites, construction sites, coal mines and other regional lighting facilities. According to statistics, industrial lighting has a very high market share in the entire lighting market. At present, most industrial lighting is generally energy-saving, metal halide lamps. , halogen lamp. Global energy shortages may trigger the global energy crisis at any time. LEDs are known for energy conservation and environmental protection. Many traditional industrial lighting products are gradually being replaced by LEDs. Today, we take stock of several common industrial lighting fixtures and LED lighting fixtures to compare and develop trends.

Traditional fluorescent lamp

Fluorescent lamps rely on closed gas discharge, ionization reaction occurs, fluorescent lamps need to add rare earth phosphors, rare earth phosphors are radioactive, will generate electron radiation, and should contain mercury, which is polluting, and should be replaced in industrial lighting. LED products are generally LED fluorescent tubes. LED fluorescent lamps are about 65% more energy efficient than fluorescent lamps. However, general fluorescent lamps have electronic rectifiers. LED fluorescent lamps need only be connected directly to 110 or 220V. The electronic rectifier must be removed during the replacement process. Labor costs are provided. Of course, some manufacturers have developed lamps that are compatible with electronic rectifiers. Due to different standards in different countries around the world, electronic rectifier standards are different, which brings great difficulty to compatibility.

The replacement of traditional fluorescent lamps with LED fluorescent lamps is an inevitable trend in the future, but there is still a long way to go in the compatibility of various fluorescent lamp rectifiers, LED fluorescent lamp standards and replacement costs.
