Why choose LED light source for landscape lighting

One of the key requirements for selecting an ideal light source for scene lighting is a long service life. When it comes to service life, LED will outperform other light sources.

　　 What is scene lighting?

　　 Scenery lighting refers to the use of outdoor lights to help illuminate the garden, water bodies, building exteriors and even a certain tree. It not only has the function of lighting, but also has the functions of artistic decoration and beautification of the environment. A fully illuminated scene is extremely necessary to enhance the entertainment function, safety and beautification of the relevant area. Since the LED light is a one-way light source, it plays a vital role in scene lighting.

　　 High color rendering index, color temperature options, etc.

　　 When it comes to scene lighting, LED is an ideal choice due to its high color rendering index (CRI) and numerous color temperature options.

　　 Advances in plastic technology and optics, as well as the integration with LEDs, paved the way for the aspirational combination of optoelectronics. Another advantage of LEDs is that they do not use any filaments and are inherently more robust. Moreover, the LED is not so weak, and it is very simple, reasonable and safe to fill the light source with a waterproofing agent such as silicon or epoxy resin.

　　 Since the light source of LED is very small, it is very simple to produce a high-efficiency luminaire with a compressed scale. For example, it is very possible to make a fountain lamp to cover the entire fountain, as long as the light sources are separated, small in size and connected in parallel.

　　 4 unique advantages of LED for scene lighting

　　 brighter, better light

The main function of 　　 scene lighting is safety and decoration. LED is considered to be the brightest light method, capable of achieving 170-180 lumens per watt and providing reliable light.

　　 In addition to this feature, in the case of overheating or short circuit, the LED is not easy to explode or burn out at the light source.

　　Environmentally friendly

　　 LED does not emit any infrared or ultraviolet radiation, and there is no mercury at all. In addition, these lamps comply with ROHS standards, which means that LEDs do not contain any hazardous substances, such as cadmium, mercury, etc. In contrast, metal halide lamps contain high levels of cadmium, along with ultraviolet light, while fluorescent lamps contain mercury. Since the sight lights are installed near water bodies or trees in nature, LEDs are the first choice.

　　 Low protection cost

　　 The existence of the light source in the backyard lamp is very important, because the position of the backyard lamp is generally in a weak area. For example, the underwater lights in the swimming pool are difficult to replace, because if the lights are to be replaced, the swimming pool must be emptied. Another example is floodlights. If there is a problem, a crane is needed to recover. In most cases, the cost of replacing lights is much higher than the cost of lights.

　　 low voltage operation

　　 The function voltage of LED is lower than 4V DC. In order to make it run at 220V, we generally use switching power supply to lower the voltage to convert AC to DC. If it is any lamp that is in direct contact with water, it is recommended to operate at a lower voltage to avoid disasters when the current flows out.

　　 When it comes to traditional light sources, we need to use a specific inverter circuit to add voltage and convert it to alternating current. This reduces the safety and lifespan of the luminaire, and adds to the cost of the luminaire. In addition, LED is a safer choice, operates at low voltage, and is very safe during operation.
