LED lighting has been rapidly replacing fluorescent tube lighting of almost all capacities in the convenience store field. There are many reasons.
The efficiency of LEDs is 50% higher than that of fluorescent lamps, so they use less energy. Translation: Greatly reduce electricity bills.
The lifespan of LEDs is usually at least twice that of fluorescent lamps, which means they do not need to be replaced frequently. When they do need to be replaced, their solid state structure (LEDs are made of semiconductors) greatly reduces their fragility.
LEDs "burn" at lower temperatures. They dissipate heat through the so-called heat sink in the industry. The heat sink is a thermal management tool that is critical to the life of the lamp. Heat will reduce the performance of LEDs, which is why they are designed to work normally at around 40 degrees. This is why they are very suitable for lighting products in refrigerated environments, such as coolers in c-store.
There are generally two different types of fluorescent lamps. The most common is tubular bulbs, available in a variety of standard lengths, up to 6 feet long, used in pairs or in pairs, for overhead industrial and office lighting. Some larger spaces, such as factories and bowling alleys, require eight feet or more of space to accommodate large ceiling areas.
The latest version is a CFL or compact fluorescent lamp, manufactured in the form of a bulb, as an alternative to the long-term standard incandescent lamp widely used in homes and offices. The inside of the bulb is actually a coiled tube, a bit like a miniature version of a large straight tube fluorescent lamp. In both types, the current interacts with argon and mercury vapor to illuminate the white powder phosphor coating.
Yes, mercury is more dangerous than one or two broken tubes.
What is the purpose of the mysterious and heavy black box fixed at the bottom of the fluorescent lamp-ballast -? It is a group of electronic parts wrapped in flame-retardant material, which can activate the device and then adjust the current. In the CFL, it is located directly above the screw-in base.
With the rapid rise of LED lighting, fluorescent lamps have become obsolete in most previous uses. LEDs are lighter, more versatile, cheaper, and provide vibrant lighting.
The difference is: LED lighting is better.
