The characteristics you should focus when buying Led Downlight

The “Downlight” phrase describes a light fixture installed into a hole in the ceiling. Led downlight can sometimes be concave or floating lights. Light can glow from the top down in a spacious way to light an entire area or narrow like a spotlight.

In terms of illumination, the LED technology lights only emit red light at first, but now they have more diverse light colors. The most popular color choices for Led Downlight are warm white, similar to incandescent light, or neutral white, colors closer to fluorescent lighting.

To choose the appropriate Led Downlight, the user can base on the following characteristics to consider the choice of lamps suitable for use:

1. Light cover:

Current light shells are very many models such as spray paint, stripes, shiny silver and so on. Therefore, before deciding to choose, customers need to see which light shell is made of material? Currently on the market there are two types of light covers: Aluminum and plastic alloys. Aluminum alloy shell will absorb heat and help extend the life of the LED better.

The light with its cover by aluminum material will absorb heat and help extend LED life better.

Buyers should choose the shell surface with delicate, and handling. This is one of the guarantee signs of a reputable and quality manufacturer. Before the clients buy lights, you need to see samples from the seller to compare with the images and information of the lights. With aluminum alloy lamp cover, the more aluminum the light has, the better the quality is. If the Led Downlight shell has a low aluminum ratio, the light weight is lighter. The proportion of aluminum is less synonymous with contributing to reducing lamp life.

2. Chip led:

First, customers need to find out which LED chips are used in Led Downlight? In detail, it consists of 3 types:

Single LED chip as a light source: 1 W or 3 W. This is the most common and popular lamp model available today, can be purchased at any LED lighting business location.
SMD chip as light source: SMD chips are mounted on the printed circuit board and sealed inside the organic glass or diffuse light panel, often referred to as glass or LED panel downlight.
COB chip: This is the latest generation chip with Led Downlight.

Good quality chips are usually produced by well-known ands.

In order to buy LED downlight using standard chip, it is necessary to find reputable manufacturers. With cheap LED downlight, most of them use chip which has heterogeneous colors, low ightness, and short life. Whether single chip, SMD chip, or COB, most often very difficult to divide Special quality. Mostly buyers can distinguish through manufacturers. Good quality chips are usually produced by famous ands such as Cree (USA), Bridgelux (USA), Epistar (Taiwan), Sharp (Japan) … with higher cost than LED chips Inland manufacturing in China. Between these lamps, the light quality is quite different.

The quality of LED chips determines the ightness and degradation of light bulbs. A good LED chip is a chip that not only has high luminous flux but also low ightness, the price is also very different. Same type of light bulb 1 W, but different LED chip and chip technology, the price difference from 3-10 times.

3. Heat dissipation of LED lights:

A LED light stable, good quality, and working well or not is related to the heat sink of the luminaire. LEDs are usually made from light sources (or LED chips) attached to heat sinks, drivers, and lenses. So the heat sink is also a very important part, if the heat dissipation is not good, the service life will be affected.

The good quality of the light is related to the heat sink of the light.

The main material of lamp shell and common heat sinks are: Copper, aluminum, plastic. Copper radiator is better than aluminum, aluminum radiator is better than plastic, currently the radiator parts mostly use aluminum material, preferably aluminum pieces with slotted pieces, the poorest aluminum radiator castings, radiators of aluminum pieces the groove is most effective.

In addition, customers should consider the thickness, height, sophistication, surface treatment of the light cover and heat sink, these factors are directly related to the heat dissipation.
