COB and SMD LED Light Manufacturer in India: Industrial Lighting Products and Applications

The right technology is a key part of ensuring the light source provides enough light, energy efficiency and durability in industrial applications. There are various LED design types for SMD and COB LEDs , depending on the application of the lights. SMD LEDs allow flexibility in LED arrangement and light distribution and can be used in street lights , flood lights , high bays and industrial well glass luminaires . The COB LED is an LED with several LED chips on a smaller area that can be employed to achieve focused and intensive lighting. Brightness and wattage are not the only factors to consider when choosing an appropriate bulb for industrial applications. The entire luminaire design, from the driver to the optical design, thermal management and protection, is important. What Is SMD LED Technology? SMD (Surface Mount Device) technology, the LED packages are soldered to a printed circuit board (PCB). More/less LEDs, spacing, and configuration of the LEDs can be customised for dif...

SPD and LED Driver Surge Protection: In-House Testing

A fixture can have excellent efficacy and perfect optics and still fail in its first monsoon season. This is because it's not always the LED itself. The surge is the one that makes it to the luminaire electronics from a lightning strike or switching surge via the supply cable. The key to reliable protection is that the components are not just one. It is a result of the surge protective device (SPD) working in conjunction with the LED driver and the wiring and the luminaire as a single unit.  The interpretation of SPD ratings, what LED driver surge immunity is, how the two are coordinated and how the final output is verified through an in-house surge test are described.  The Protection Chain Incoming surge → SPD → Residual voltage → LED driver → LED module The SPD prevents surge currents from damaging the connected equipment, while also limiting the voltage. What gets past it, the residual voltage, is what the driver actually has to withstand. The goal is not to choose the SP...

LED Lighting for EOT Cranes: Selection Guide, Benefits & Applications

EOT cranes are the machines that are utilised in industrial areas to lift and move heavy loads. They are prevalent in steel plants, cement plants, power plants, engineering workshops, manufacturing plants, warehouses, winder rooms and process industries. LED lighting for the crane can ensure top visibility for crane operators, hook riggers and floor workers when lifting and handling materials. These benefits include energy efficiency, long service life, durability and low maintenance requirements, resulting in a preference for LED lights. There are two popular choices of lights: LED High Bay Lights and LED Flood Lights. The right choice is dependent on the mounting height, lighting needs, beam angle, environment and lighting layout.  Why Is Lighting Important in EOT Crane Areas? Good lighting provides the operator/worker with a view of the load and the lifting accessories, and the path of the load. Poor lighting may cause shadowing, lack of signals, slow lifts, and unintentio...
