Almost two years working in the LED Tube industry, I have basic understanding for LED products. LED is the abbreviation for light-emitting diode. The most important thing for led products is the semiconductor chip. LED Tube light compared with the traditional light, the biggest difference is that solid-state semiconductor light. There are many advantages of LED like energy and environmental protection. Going in-depth study, LED’s advantage is the color, brightness, life, resist-vibration and so on.
LEDs take the most costs of the led tube light, it is necessary to talk about it. Currently on the market there are many types of LED tube light, such as SMD LED tube, DIP LED Tube, power LED Tube. SMD LED Tube in the market share will be more and more, relative to the DIP LED Tube, SMD LED Tube with volume weight, low cost, high efficiency advantage. SMD LED Tube disadvantage is that the initial investment will need to purchase automatic placement machine (SMT), high cost of equipment, maintenance costs are expensive. Shenzhen GCL specializes in SMD LED tube. Now on the market there are mainly SMD LED Chip 3014, 2538, 2835. Different LEDs type have different strengths, such as the same power 18W led tube lamp, 3014 led tube main advantage is the high brightness, can reach more than 1800 lumens, while the 2835 price will be cheaper than the led tube lamp 3014, but the lumen relatively low brightness values probably around 1500, it is proposed that when the first customers to buy led tube must distinguish the leds type used, not just look at the price of the same power led tube . Second, even with the same leds b such as 3014, the market is the same LEDs type have varying quality, such as 3014 some with low light, some with the highlight of 3014, some domestic 3014 chips, some with Taiwan Epistar U.S. Cree chip, so the customer at the time of purchase must be clear, do not blindly pursue low price factor. Different quality chip leds, there is no way to identify by the naked eye, the quality of leds only can be reflected in the later age of usage. Customer can not know the leds quliaty at the early stage of buying. If it possible, cooperate with the reputable and professional factory is the good choice.
Secondly we talk about led tube material selection. With the same power of led tube lamp, different factory have the different choice of materials, such as the aluminum radiator, the thickness of the aluminum models are different. And some factories in order to pursue low-cost, choose cheaper aluminum, some chose aluminum thickness is thin, leading to led tube light cooling performance is not good, affect the normal use of the tube. So customer need to clear the material used for the tube light, but not just pay attention to the price.
LED tube lighting in the world have great market potential. We all know the advantages of LED, in addition to its expensive, LED has a technical shortcomings. It is for the thermal requirements strictly. Once the control is not good, it is may be dead lights or influence the LED Tube working life.
