Competent selection of LED lamps for housing and communal services
Among the main tasks in the field of energy saving in Russia, a special role is assigned to the modernization of the lighting system of housing and communal services, that is, to increase the energy efficiency of communal facilities. To solve this problem, energy-saving lamps are actively used
Lighting in housing and communal services: basic requirements
Certain requirements are imposed on lighting systems in the field of housing and communal services. Luminaires should be:
1, Energy saving. The amount of electricity consumed must be reduced. But at the same time, the standards of illumination of housing and communal services should remain in accordance with SNiP 23-05-95:
2, Resistant to dust, moisture and corrosive environments.
3. Impact-resistant and vandal-proof.
4. Compact.
5. Easy to maintain.
In addition to these qualities, housing and communal services lamps must have:
- High color rendering index to ensure high-quality and comfortable lighting of territories.
- The driver is resistant to voltage surges. This is necessary so that the luminaires can operate smoothly in networks with unstable supply voltage.
For lighting systems in the field of housing and communal services, such types of lamps are used as:
- LED.
- Luminescent.
- Mercury.
- Incandescent lamps.
Benefits of LED luminaires
Due to their unique properties, LED lamps are the most promising.
Electricity consumption when using LEDs is reduced by several times. For example, incandescent lamps of the same brightness consume 8-10 times more energy.
LED luminaires work without replacing lamps throughout their entire service life. Do not need additional service.
The service life is at least 50,000 hours while maintaining a high-quality luminous flux.
Low ripple factor, the lamps do not give a stroboscopic effect.
Safe for people and the environment as they do not contain mercury.
Parameters for choosing LED lamps for housing and communal services
In order for LED luminaires to meet all the requirements for lighting housing and communal services, when choosing luminaires, you should be guided by the following parameters:
The technical characteristics indicated in the documentation must be confirmed by laboratory tests. We are talking about indicators:
- luminous flux taking into account all losses in the secondary optics or diffuser;
- luminous intensity curve;
- ripple coefficient;
- real power consumption.
LED quality. Luminaires with cheap Chinese LEDs are very popular today. Such systems o�
