LED照明灯具拓展全球市场划分三大阶段

ledlszm

随着LED景观灯具的逐步发展，在亮化工程辅助照明等公共场合，LED渐渐替代了一些传统光源产品。2009年，LED开始在发达国家进入主照明普及。LED初期是由单色光为主，虽然功率小，价格高，但其可靠性高，控制性强，体积小，所以最先兴起的市场是电子器件指示灯。市场对LED景观灯具产品有了一定的认可和接受。LED灯具的环保，体积小，高可靠性等其他特性逐渐凸显出来。在电费较高，使用时间较长的商业应用场所，LED补光灯具迅速成为市场的新宠。作为LED补光灯具的用途，LED市场发展分几个阶段。这一阶段指的是...

浅析LED照明灯具未来的发展趋势

ledlszm

灯具行业的发展，不断的提升是必然的发展趋势，因此，在LED景观灯具的发展也应该上升到一定的高度，下面是九正小编为您总结LED景观灯具的几个发展方面：　　摒弃目前LED聚光灯具仅仅是传统灯具加LED发光模块的设计方法，要充分考虑LED光学特性，开发LED专用灯具。　　电源及控制电路的设计，电源方面要改变目前普遍使用的电容降压和阻抗分压的应用方式，设计出合理的小电流恒流源电路，在驱动电流方面采用时钟周期调制方式，提高LED聚光灯具的稳定性，同时进一步提高电源的效率。在目前LED光效和光通量有限的情况...

LED灯具价格匪夷所思 9大奥秘是关键

ledlszm

　LED照明产业飞速发展，各式灯具花样百出，价格的差异也是相当明显。生产LED与LED灯饰的厂商为数众多，不同厂商选用不同品质的LED是造成LED景观灯具不同的重要原因。由于价格战日益激烈，外观、结构、功能几乎一样的产品，价格差异却有2-3倍，很多用户一时被弄昏头脑，不知价差从何而来，一般不生产LED发光管的LED补光灯饰厂商都很难区别，何况消费者。　　所以，选用自己有良好的LED生产来源，或者是拥有完善LED检测设备的LED景观灯饰厂会比较好，这样买来的LED补光灯具产品会更有保障。LED照明...
