LED energy-saving lamps safety specification requirements

There are a large number of energy-saving lamps on the market today, while technologies that are more advanced and more environmentally friendly are LED energy-saving lamps. The data shows that LED energy-saving lamps save 80% more than incandescent lamps and 50% less than fluorescent energy-saving lamps. Led Lights have the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection. The development of the lighting industry has become a major trend. The obvious advantages of LED energy-saving lamps can be reflected in the following aspects:

1. Low-voltage power supply, low power consumption: In general, LED energy-saving lamps operating voltage is 2 to 3.6V, operating current is 0.02 to 0.03A. This means: it consumes no more than 0.1W;

2. Small size: The LED energy-saving lamp is basically a small wafer that is encapsulated in epoxy resin;

3. Long service life: With an appropriate current and voltage, its service life can reach 100,000 hours and it requires little maintenance. In addition, LED energy-saving lamps have a complete epoxy resin package, it is stronger than the light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, there is no loose part of the lamp body, not easy to damage;

4. High-brightness, low-calorie: Although incandescent and tungsten-halogen lamps for general illumination are cheap, they have low luminous efficiency, and consume power in vain due to the thermal effect of the lamp; LED lamps are not only highly efficient but also cool because they are used as lighting lamps. The light source generates almost no heat power;

5. Environmental protection: LED lamps are made of non-toxic materials. Unlike fluorescent lamps, mercury containing mercury can cause pollution and can also be recycled.

6. LED energy-saving lamps also have flicker-free, strong applicability, high stability, short response time and other characteristics;

Because the technology and product attributes used by LEDs have been very different from those of traditional lamps, the current general safety standards for lamps and lanterns obviously do not apply.

Billion Bo Technology Certification Center (EBO) authored this article to explain the current requirements of LED Lighting safety testing (in the case of UL standards).

(I) Safety specifications of LED lamps:

With the improvement of technology, the use of LED lamps has been used in the past for decades only in the indicator lights, signal lights, etc., and gradually used in mobile phone backlight, interior lighting, car lights, LCD TVs, laptop backlights and other auxiliary lighting In the past two years, it has begun to become the main lighting system. The scope of application can be covered, outdoor, commercial, and home, and the products are:

Category (lighting) products

Architectural garden lights, searchlights, ladder lights, balcony lights, etc.

Outdoor street lights, column lights, etc.

Commercial advertising lighting, display cabinet lighting, etc.

Home ceiling lamps, wall lights, kitchen cabinet lights, standing lights, table lamps, etc.

The improvement of LED Light source manufacturing technology and the broadening of its application level are dedicated to consumer safety. UL has established UL8750, a safety standard for LED modules and lighting fixtures, to standardize Led Lighting products, and was officially released in 2009. This standard is an industry-required safety standard for selling LED products to North America. It is applicable to all types of products with LED as the main light source, including lamps, light bulbs, and drivers. In addition to the safety regulations, LED light source lighting products in the future must be Verify the special properties of the LED light source and module.

(B) LED lamps in the UL standard classification:

For the three basic product categories such as LED lamps, LED bulbs, and LED power supplies, the corresponding safety standards and related precautions are not the same when expanding to finished products or components. The details are as follows:

1, LED lamps:

Application Safety Standards Precautions

Indicator light UL48

Handle lights, kitchen light, desk lamp, stand light, wall light, etc. (all with power cord plugs) UL153 covers portable luminaires, which are connected to the branch circuit nominally 120V, 15 or 20A through the plug of the power cord

Christmas Lights UL588

Emergency light, exit light UL924

Display cabinet, mirror light UL962

Stage lights UL1573

Step lights, down lights, ceiling lights, chandeliers, wall lights, street lights, column lights, etc. (all without power cord plugs) UL1598 covers fixed luminaires used in non-hazardous areas and installed on branch circuits below 600V.

Night light UL1786

Low pressure garden light (without power cord plug) UL1838

Pipe light UL2388

2, LED light bulbs:

Application Safety Standards Precautions

Indicator bulb UL496

The LED Bulb (ANSIBase), which contains the drive circuit UL1993E27Base, is a European regulation and cannot be used in the North American market. North American market needs E26Base

Led Light Bulb (non-ANSIBase) with built-in drive circuit UL496

Led Module without driver circuit UL8750

3, LED driver and power supply:

Application Safety Standards Precautions

The power supply (with LPS safety circuit) UL60950-1 output LPS safety circuit, then the LED Module and LED control module does not need the electric enclosure (Enclosure)

Power supply (without Class2 safety circuit) UL1012 LED module and LED control module need to provide appropriate electrical enclosure (Enclosure) protection

Power Supply (with Class2 Safety Circuit) UL1310 Output Class2 Safety Circuit, LED Module and LED Control Module without Electrical Enclosure

Drive (with LPS/Class2 safety circuit) UL935 output LPS/Class2 safety circuit, LED module and LED control module do not need electric enclosure (Enclosure)

Low-voltage garden light power supply UL1838 LED module and LED control module need to provide appropriate electrical enclosure (Enclosure) protection

LED Linear Light

Led Point Light,Led Cross Star Light,Led Spotlight
