LED--New Choice for Marine Light
With the fast development of LED technology, LED is becoming a main stream in marine light market. In the time of shorting nature energy, the energy-saving is LED the most competitive superior. Further, not only its color temperature is more natural than other illuminant such as incandescent lamp and fluorescent lamp, but also its material is more eco-friendly for marine biology.
Overview
Several reasons may prompt you to choose LED.
Material of LED
Most marine LED light can be found that its lamp body made of metal or plastics and the lamp shade is made of toughened glass.
- Metal: aluminum alloy, stainless steel, steel
- Plastics: engineering plastics PC, diffuser plate PC
The metal body has a longer lifespan. It is wearable and resistant to high temperature but prone to oxidation, rusting, and corrosion by acid substances. The plastic body is sturdy and economic but it is prone to aging and easily deform when exposed to heat.
Characteristics of LED Illuminant
- Low Power Consumption: LED consumes 80% less power than an incandescent bulb of the same brightness.
- Long Lifespan: LED has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, which allows for 7 years of continuous 24-hour operation.
- Design Flexibility: Perfectly integrates with the architecture
- Environmentally Friendly: Contains no harmful metals like mercury and does not emit infrared or ultraviolet radiation.
- Color: Different wavelengths produce various colored lights, vivid and saturated. No filters are needed. The red, green, and blue primary colors can be controlled to create different colors and achieve effects like full color and gradients.
