What Surface Treatments Are Applied to LED Lights?
The aluminum housing of lighting fixtures typically undergoes various surface treatments to enhance its durability, aesthetics, and performance. Here are some of the most commonly used methods
Anodizing
In an electrolytic bath, aluminum acts as the anode, allowing oxygen ions to bond with the aluminum surface, forming aluminum oxide. This layer is integrated with the underlying aluminum, providing a durable surface.
- Enhances corrosion resistance
- Increases surface hardness
- Offers an aesthetic finish that doesn't fade over time
Powder Coating
Electrostatically charged powder particles are sprayed onto the aluminum surface. The coated parts are then baked in an oven, causing the powder to melt and form a solid, uniform coating.
- Uniform, aesthetically pleasing finish with no runs or sags
- Wide array of color and texture options
- Environmentally friendly due to the absence of solvents
Sandblasting
High-velocity sand, or other abrasive material, is blasted onto the aluminum surface, removing the outer layer and any surface imperfections. This results in a matte, textured finish.
- Excellent surface preparation for secondary treatments like painting or anodizing
- Improved surface texture for enhanced grip and visual appeal
- Effective removal of surface flaws and contaminants
Electroplating
The aluminum part is submerged in an electrolyte solution and acts as the cathode. A direct electric current causes metal cations to deposit onto the aluminum surface, forming a thin metal coating.
- Provides a glossy, decorative finish for aesthetic appeal
- Additional layer for corrosion resistance
- Improved electrical conductivity, which can be crucial in certain applications
Common LED Chips in LED Track Light Systems
SMD (Surface-Mount Device)
SMD LEDs employ surface-mount technology to attach individual LED chips onto a circuit board. These chips are typically smaller and have a flat, rectangular profile. The SMD design allows for precise placement on the board, resulting in high-quality light output with a high degree of control.
COB LEDs(chip-on-board LED)
COB LED feature multiple LED chips bonded to a single substrate, forming an integrated module. The closely packed arrangement leads to high light intensity from a compact surface area. This design minimizes the risk of glare and provides uniform light distribution.
COB and SMD LEDs: Which One to Go For?
Below are the factors to consider when deciding between COB and SMD LEDs:
COB LEDs | SMD LEDs | |
---|---|---|
Performance | Have higher brightness levels and better color rendering | Have lower brightness levels |
Flexibility | Not flexible for customization options | Provide greater flexibility and customization options |
Cost | Have lower production cost | Have higher production cost |
Maintenance | Require less maintenance due to their simpler design | Require higher maintenance |
Size | Larger in size | Smaller in size |
Color Temperature Choices:
Ranging from warm (2700K) to cool white (6500K), we offer a comprehensive selection of color temperatures to create the desired ambiance or functional lighting.
Color Rendering Index (CRI):
Our LED chips have a high CRI, often above 90, ensuring that colors appear true to life under the light. This is especially crucial in retail, art galleries, and other settings where color accuracy is paramount.
In-Depth Insight into LED Drivers
What is LED driver?
LED Driver, also named as LED power supply, converts typically Alternating Current (AC) into a regulated Direct Current (DC) output because the light-emitting diodes (LED) is a unique component that only accepts Direct Current input.
External vs. Interior LED driver:
External LED Driver
Placement: Positioned outside the actual light fixture, often in a separate housing or enclosure.
Advantages:
- Easier to replace or upgrade without disturbing the light fixture.
- Typically cooler operating environments, which can extend driver lifespan.
- Allows for larger, potentially more powerful or feature-rich drivers.
Disadvantages:
- Requires additional space and proper positioning.
- May be exposed to external environmental factors, which could necessitate protective measures.
Interior LED Driver
Placement: Integrated within the light fixture itself.
Advantages:
- Compact design with a seamless appearance.
- Protected from external environmental factors by the fixture.
- Simplifies installation due to fewer external components.
Disadvantages:
- Typically operates in a warmer environment, which could impact lifespan.
- If the driver fails, accessing or replacing it may require dismantling the fixture or replacing the entire unit.
Distinctions between Class I, Class II, and Class 1, Class 2 for LED Drivers
Class I LED Driver:
- Refers to the safety classification defined by the International Electro-technical Commission (IEC).
- It has basic insulation and requires a protective earth (ground) connection for safety against electric shocks.
Class II LED Driver:
- Also based on IEC safety classification.
- Features additional safety measures such as double insulation or reinforced insulation, eliminating the need for a protective earth (ground) connection.
Class 1 LED Driver:
- Generally pertains to the driver’s operating conditions rather than safety classifications.
- It usually indicates a driver that operates under certain voltage or current conditions (e.g., low voltage).
Class 2 LED Driver:
- Also related to the driver’s operating conditions.
- Indicates a driver that operates under specific voltage or current thresholds, as defined by certain standards, typically ensuring that outputs remain under safer low-voltage levels.
In summary:
- "Class I" and "Class II" denote safety classifications, with specific requirements regarding insulation and grounding.
- "Class 1" and "Class 2" are more about the operational conditions of the driver, particularly in relation to voltage and current levels.
