What about spiral energy-saving lamps? Spiral energy-saving lamps are energy-saving lamps used by many families, spiral shape, giving a sense of beauty and soft touch of the curve, so many consumers love it, how to choose this kind of lamps? Here’s a look at it.
How about spiral energy-saving lamps]
A, spiral energy-saving lamps introduced
Spiral energy-saving lamps, also known as energy-saving bulbs, there are half spiral energy-saving lamps and full spiral energy-saving lamps, belonging to a kind of energy-saving lamps. Energy-saving lamps in addition to saving electricity and money, there are many advantages: ① high power factor, can reduce the grid line loss. ② low voltage can be started, and the change in voltage does not bring too much change in brightness, which is much stronger than incandescent lamps. ③Good color reproduction, in the light can accurately reflect the true color of the object. ④ commonly used color temperature level from 2700-6400K, to meet the needs of the family lighting in various situations. Choose the low color temperature below 3000K can get incandescent \ “warm \” effect (egg yellow), on the contrary, if you want to get a clear, bright lighting effect (daylight color) choose 5000K or more high color temperature is very suitable. ⑤ low heat generation, is \ “cold light source \”. ⑥No flicker, good for eye health.
Second, spiral energy-saving lamp structure
Lamp head: usually with E27, B22, E40 (high-power lamps).
Plastic parts: the market usually use PP (halogen powder low-grade lamp with), PC (mixed powder mid-range lamp with), PBT (flame retardant material three-color high-grade lamp with).
Line board: generally with 94V0 flame retardant sheet.
Spiral lamp tube: full spiral lamp tube, half spiral lamp tube.
Third, the spiral energy-saving lamps functional characteristics
1. Wide working voltage: 170V-250V for China’s power supply needs, long life, average service life ≥ 8000 hours. No noise, no strobe, no interference with communications, household electrical equipment. Than ordinary incandescent light bulbs save 80% of electricity.
2. Using high quality pure trichromatic phosphor lamp: high luminous efficiency, small light decay, natural light, low power consumption, low heat generation, color temperature 2700K, 6400K, is the best choice of lighting source.
Fourth, the advantages and disadvantages of spiral energy-saving lamps
Spiral energy-saving lamps are a commonly used lighting products at home, spiral energy-saving lamps light source in the same light energy output, only 1/5 to 1/4 of the electricity consumption of ordinary incandescent lamps, which can save a lot of lighting energy and costs, so since its birth by more and more people’s favorite. However, the ballast used in spiral energy-saving lamps generates a certain amount of electromagnetic radiation when it produces instantaneous high voltage. The electromagnetic radiation of spiral energy-saving lamps also comes from the ionization reaction between electrons and mercury gas. At the same time, spiral energy-saving lamps need to add rare-earth phosphors, and because the rare-earth phosphors themselves are radioactive, spiral energy-saving lamps also produce ionizing radiation (i.e., radioactive nuclear radiation), which is of more concern than the uncertainty of electromagnetic radiation to human aggression, and excessive radioactive nuclear radiation to human hazards.
The advantage of spiral energy-saving lamps is that it can save a lot of energy, and its life than very long, but its disadvantage is that it will produce a certain amount of radiation, and discarded bulbs will also produce a certain amount of toxicity, so we have to properly recycle these discarded electric bulbs for recycling.
Spiral energy-saving lamps purchase method]
1, many consumers buy energy-saving lamps have always used the tungsten bulb power for reference. Most manufacturers will list the power of the product itself on the package and the power of the tungsten bulb with similar luminosity. For example: the packaging has a “20W→85W” sign, which generally refers to the actual power of the lamp is 20W, claiming that it can be issued with an 80W tungsten bulb similar to the luminosity.
2, some products have energy efficiency labels on the packaging. The product meets safety specifications, light readiness reaches a certain level, and the average life exceeds 8,000 hours before the energy efficiency label can be issued.
3, some energy-saving lamp models have white and yellow light two light colors to choose from. Generally people psychologically feel that white light is colder and yellow light is warmer. To compare the difference between the different colors, you can go to the showroom to appreciate. Users can choose the color of light to match their home furnishings according to their personal preferences.
4, some stores provide lamp holders to consumers to test the lamp, try before payment to ensure that its operation is normal and observe its brightness.
5, in the purchase of energy-saving lamps, but also consider the technical parameters of electronic ballasts, such as harmonic content, power factor, whether equipped with filter parts and other indicators. In particular, some large areas, high-volume use of energy-saving lamps, be sure to use low harmonics, high power factor, with filter parts of the energy-saving lamps, and try to install more power switches, to avoid a large number of energy-saving lamps at the same time switch, by the grid of high-voltage pulse impact, and cause damage.
6, the whole lamp’s plastic shell, should choose high-temperature flame retardant PBT plastic shell.
7, pay attention to observe the lamp in the power, whether there is uneven phosphor coating thickness and affect the normal lighting of the light phenomenon.
