Using LED Spot Lamps to Replace Traditional Halogen Spot Lights

The Next Few Paragraphs will cover "Using LED Spot Lamps to Replace Traditional Halogen Spot Lights

Small halogen spot lights are traditionally used to give more focused beam or accent lighting effects. They have been widely used as a more energy-efficient substitute to incandescent lights in retail shops and stores and home lighting systems. The halogen bulbs work at high temperatures, lots of heat dissipated around the ambient lamp. Furthermore, the lamp, especially the filament should not be exposed to severe vibration to keep the lamp from failing too early.For example, the power consuption of the typically used par20 , MR16, GU10 halogen lamps ranges from 20W to 50W, and their lumen output ranges from 160 lm to 700 lm. This means that, it equals to an efficiency of around 16 lm/W. The working life of a traditional halogen lamp is approximately 2000-3000 hours, likely comparable to 3 to 4 months of usage in a shop.

Having read through halegon spot light bulbs, now let's move onto LED spotlamps.

Spot lamps are often utilised as spot or accent lighting in some difficult-to-reach small areas where people would not want the lamps to be changed too frequently. LED lights lasts many times longer than the old-fashioned halogen bulbs. Some LED spot light bulbs are made of a cluster of small LEDs, the other LED spot lights are made up of a smaller quantity of high-power LEDs. Both of them are able to deliver very high-quality light and can be a good retrofit of halogens.Furthermore, LED bulbs need very small proportion of electricity to produce high level of lumens output, quite simply, they get higher effectiveness.As a matter of fact, MR16, GU10 and PAR LED Lights, consume much less power to emit the equivalent amount of light than halogen lamps. Presently, LEDs are able to deliver 110 lm/W in general use (in the lab, this value is much higher), with three 1-watt high-power diode of such, the total light output would be nearly 300 lumens. Besides, with typical focus beam angle of 15, 30 or 45 degree, the lamps can be able to deliver significant amount of usable light without much waste light as halogens do.What's more, the LED technology has been continuously improving from year to year dramatically, higher and higher efficacy diode chips show up in the market.

LED spotlights do not depend on heated filaments or gas materials to provide light, and they do not hold mercury like fluorescents. Because of this , LED lamps can be working very close to delicate items such as jewelry, valuable merchandises in the show case or shelf, expensive ornaments and photos in the house, without heat damage or fading over time.Additionally, LED bulb is the top choice as it is environmentally friendly. It releases much less CO2 emission than incandescents, halogens and fluorescents do, helping to reduce the carbon footprint.

There is another advantage of using LED spot lights as the replacement of halogens. This benefit would be the dimming function of LED lights. Now, the dimmable functionality and be achieved in more and more LED lights. Suppose that, in a cafe or a canteen you run, when some of the tables are not occupied, is it a good suggestion to have the dimmable lights? As you would neither like to waste the electricity nor like to leave the unoccupied tables fully dark?
