Contribution and use of LEDs in lighting

What are the dif­fer­ent types of LED light­ing? Let’s high­light their ben­e­fits and prac­ti­cal applications.

What is LED Lighting?

LED, acronym for Light Emitting Diode, is an ener­gy-effi­cient light­ing tech­nol­o­gy using phys­i­cal prop­er­ties of semi­con­duc­tors to pro­duce light. Compared to tra­di­tion­al light bulbs, LEDs con­vert elec­tric­i­ty into light more effi­cient­ly, result­ing in reduced ener­gy con­sump­tion. This last prop­er­ty earned its inven­tors, all three Japanese, the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2014.

Today, LEDs give light rang­ing from warm white to cool white, oth­er LEDs have spe­cif­ic col­ors, red, green and blue. . Finally, in the same small box, we gen­er­al­ly find com­bi­na­tions of of the two white tem­per­a­tures or of the three fun­da­men­tal col­ors. The three col­ors and white are com­mon­ly found in the same box to give more shades includ­ing pas­tels. Various vari­a­tors are offered on the mar­ket to exploit all these nuances.

Description of the physical principle of LEDs
The volt­age dif­fer­ence between two semi­con­duc­tors, one of which has elec­tron holes, cre­ates light energy.

These are two semi­con­duc­tors, one of which is com­posed of Ga (Gallium), P (Phosphorus) and As (Arsenic). When a direct cur­rent is applied across a semi­con­duc­tor p‑n junc­tion, elec­trons com­bine with pos­i­tive holes at the light junc­tion, emit­ting light of a cer­tain fre­quen­cy that cor­re­sponds to the ener­gy input.

What are the main advantages of LEDs

  • Energy Efficiency: LEDs con­sume less ener­gy while main­tain­ing equiv­a­lent bright­ness, there­by reduc­ing elec­tric­i­ty con­sump­tion and asso­ci­at­ed costs.
  • Exceptional Durability: With an extend­ed lifes­pan, LEDs require few­er replace­ments, help­ing to reduce elec­tron­ic waste. In par­tic­u­lar, suc­ces­sive switch­ing on and off, how­ev­er rapid they may be, does not affect their dura­bil­i­ty. Finally, like elec­tron­ic com­po­nents, they are eas­i­ly recyclable.
  • Creative Versatility: Available in a vari­ety of forms, from tra­di­tion­al bulbs to flex­i­ble strips, LEDs inte­grate cre­ative­ly into dif­fer­ent environments.

What are the uses of LED lighting?

1° Residential LED lighting

Create a warm and per­son­al­ized atmos­phere in each room of your home thanks to LED strips with adjustable col­ors and intensity.

The indi­rect light of LED strips allows you to high­light the con­tours of a room, an object of art, a false ceil­ing… Whether in plain white or in vari­able col­or tem­per­a­ture (from warm white to cold white), or even in col­ors, you have a wide range of instal­la­tions. You can change the ambiance of your rooms thanks to 2 kinds of dim­mers, recessed or remote-con­trolled. Note that the LED tapes must be placed on met­al surfaces.

Our range of pro­files gen­er­al­ly cov­ers all needs, thanks to exhaus­tive extru­sion for­mats aluminum.

2° Commercial LED lighting

Opt for an effi­cient and eco­nom­i­cal solu­tion in shops, offices and pub­lic spaces and com­bine vis­i­bil­i­ty and reduc­tion of ener­gy costs.

So in this project, the ceil­ing spot­lights pro­vide effec­tive light in this store ded­i­cat­ed to beau­ti­ful glass­es and good eye­sight. Above and inside the win­dow, adjustable 28W rec­tan­gu­lar spot­lights high­light the fore­ground for passers-by. The glass­es rest on back­lit plates thanks to which shapes and col­ors appear, with­out shad­ow. The two rows of round recessed ceil­ing lights of 15W, aligned through­out the store, give ambi­ent light thanks to their wide beam.

3° Exterior LED lighting

Combine aes­thet­ics and func­tion­al­i­ty with LED out­door light­ing, improv­ing the vis­i­bil­i­ty and safe­ty of out­door spaces.

The Different Types of LED Lighting from FlexLedLight

1° LED Strips and Neon Lights

LED strips offer a ver­sa­tile solu­tion for light­ing and dec­o­rat­ing var­i­ous spaces. Thanks to tech­nolo­gies such as COB (Chip on Board) and < a href=“https://flexledlight.fr/produit/strip-120-ledm-rgb/”>RGB (Red, Green, Blue), these strips allow exten­sive cus­tomiza­tion of col­or and light inten­si­ty. They are installed in alu­minum pro­files. In sil­i­cone sheaths, they take on the appear­ance of neon lights. Associated with micro-con­trollers, they can be con­trolled indi­vid­u­al­ly. Thus, RGB LEDs vary over time in all the col­ors of the spec­trum and allow light ani­ma­tions. The DMX pro­to­col, used in con­certs and shows, is the most wide­spread, fol­lowed by DALI, best known in France for home automation.

Advantage: Ideal for cre­at­ing dynam­ic atmos­pheres in spaces such as lounges, restau­rants or events.

2° LED window spotlights

The LED win­dow spot­lights are char­ac­ter­ized by their mini size and the pos­si­bil­i­ty of direct­ing them using suit­able sup­ports. The diam­e­ters mea­sure from 12mm to 30mm, the lengths are around 30mm. Some spots in our range are mount­ed on a ball joint and are mag­ne­tized. The sup­ports avail­able are cylin­dri­cal rods up to 1.50m high and 14mm in diam­e­ter, flat rails and even flex­i­ble rails capa­ble of fol­low­ing the shape of a dis­play or niche. Depending on the mod­els , white, black or gray col­or fin­ish­es can be ordered as an option.

3° LED Projectors

For archi­tec­tur­al light­ing, we we cre­at­ed spots such as this 4‑color square spot (in 2 pow­ers) as well as wall-wash­ers. These come in the form of bars gen­er­al­ly 1m long. The LEDs that make them up can be white or col­ored. They can be con­trolled by DMX most of the time.

4° Urban lighting and other uses of LEDs

Thanks to their low con­sump­tion, LEDs are increas­ing­ly used in urban light­ing. Combined with sen­sors and intel­li­gent sys­tems, their inten­si­ty can vary and con­tribute to ener­gy sav­ings, well beyond old met­al-hydride light­ing. With the need for sig­nif­i­cant light­ing pow­er, sta­di­ums and air­ports are also switch­ing to LED.

Finally, car head­lights, as well as all inte­ri­or light­ing in pas­sen­ger com­part­ments, boat inte­ri­ors sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly use LEDs for their strength and low consumption.
