When it comes to UV lighting, it's important to understand how much electricity it uses. It all depends on the wattage of the bulb. A 100 W UV bulb consumes approximately 0.5 kWh of electricity per year, which is a small amount. Investing in a power supply is essential if you're working on an LED project.
Meanwell's HLG series products are often recommended for this purpose. When comparing lighting products, you'll come across two metrics: CRI and Ra. These are used to describe the color quality of the product. You may think that UV flashlights are great for seeing and observing things that are normally invisible, but with so many options and technical terms, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
Our collection of articles, instructions and guides on various lighting applications, as well as detailed articles on color science, can help you make an informed decision. Our chandelier-style LED bulbs provide soft, warm light output in a decorative bulb style that fits E12 lamps. BR30 lamps are ceiling lamps that fit residential and commercial luminaires with openings of 4 inches or wider. You can directly replace 4-foot fluorescent lamps with our ballast-free and ballast-free T8 LED tube lights.
We also offer LED tube lamps pre-wired and compatible with our T8 LED lamps in 2 and 4 foot long linear lamps. It plugs into standard wall outlets and is mounted with screws or magnets. We also offer ceiling lamps with hanging chains. For fluorescence and curing applications, we offer 365 nm and 395 nm LED lights, as well as 270 nm UV-C LED lights for germicidal applications. Bright LED emitters mounted on a flexible circuit board can be cut to size and installed in a variety of locations.
Dimmers and controllers are available to adjust the brightness and color of the LED strip lighting system, while power supplies are necessary for converting line voltage into low-voltage direct current for LED strip light systems. Extruded aluminum channel profiles are also available for mounting LED light strips. Phoseon pioneered the use of LED technology for UV curing in industrial applications, offering equipment manufacturers high-performance curing technology that also saves significant energy while eliminating greenhouse gases and dangerous mercury and ozone from the UV curing process. Phoseon UV LED solutions also help reduce energy costs, as traditional mercury UV arc lamps use 70 percent more electrical energy to operate than low-power and heat-efficient UV LED technologies. With traditional UV curing processes, the tremendous heat associated with mercury UV lamps requires a significant amount of electricity to operate. In conclusion, it's important to understand how much electricity a UV light uses before investing in one.
Depending on the wattage of the bulb, it can consume anywhere from 0.5 kWh per year to 70 percent more than traditional mercury UV arc lamps. It's important to do your research before investing in any type of lighting product so that you can make an informed decision.
