Round LED Downlights

Round LED luminaires are devices designed for artificial main or decorative lighting. Devices of a classical form are presented on the market in a wide range. They are used to illuminate retail, administrative and residential premises, medical institutions, offices and other facilities.

The basis of such lighting devices are LEDs. The power of the device depends on their variety and quantity. Its indicators fluctuate over a wide range (from 5 to 80 watts). LED devices have a low operating voltage, which eliminates the risk of fire.

Round-shaped devices contribute to an even distribution of the luminous flux.

They also differ:

• high contrast;
• good color rendering indicators (index is 75-85);
• low current consumption (from 0.35 A).

LED luminaires for outdoor or indoor lighting light up instantly when powered from a standard 220V power supply.

Such lamps are produced in a wide variety. Depending on the purpose and place of installation, you can choose models in the desired color scheme with the required technical characteristics and dimensions. Devices:

• They differ in the type of installation. There are furniture, wall, ceiling, mortise, hanging.
• Available in various sizes. Devices with a large diameter are suitable for the main lighting of large-sized premises: living rooms, halls, halls, retail outlets. Small to medium sized objects will fit perfectly into small objects. They will not "weigh down" the space and visually reduce it.
• They differ in the number of LEDs. There are models with one or more lamps.

• They have a different glow color. It can be white, cold or warm, and also neutral.
• Available with or without remote control. The dimmable lamp (with PU) is easy to use. With the help of the remote control, it is possible to regulate the light intensity in the room without getting up from the sofa or workplace.
• They can be equipped with a built-in rechargeable battery. Such options are the best solution for organizing an emergency lighting system. In the event of a planned or emergency power outage, they will provide the minimum glow for the completion of work in the enterprise or the safe evacuation of people.

Luminaires can be for indoor or outdoor mounting. Street models are intended for decorative illumination of architectural structures, buildings, illumination of parks, squares in the dark. They are made of durable materials that are resistant to adverse weather conditions. There are also anti-vandal models on the market.

LED lighting devices have the following advantages:

• Low energy consumption (more economical up to 70% compared to other types of lamps).
• Long service life. Luminaires with diodes are designed for continuous operation for 50,000 hours (approximately 12 years of operation with a daily switching on of the device for 10 hours).
• Environmental safety. LED devices are free of mercury and other substances hazardous to human health and the environment.Thanks to this, used devices do not require specialized disposal.
• Lack of extraneous noise during operation.

• Vibration resistance, mechanical strength and reliability. The luminaire body is a monolithic structure made of aluminum alloy or heavy-duty plastic. Such a "shell" is a reliable protection of internal parts from falls, shocks and other mechanical influences.
• Flicker-free. The LED luminaire provides a smooth glow. Due to the lack of stroboscopic effect, it does not cause eye strain and fatigue.
• High quality lighting. The light emanating from LED devices is as close as possible to natural solar radiation in terms of its performance. It is comfortable on the eyes.

Despite its many advantages, round LED lamps have some drawbacks.

These include:

1. High price. You will have to pay much more for an LED lamp than for a halogen or mercury lamp. However, every year diode technologies are becoming more and more affordable financially.
2. Possibility of premature failure. The durability of such lamps may be less than that declared by the manufacturer, since it depends not only on the operating potential of the diodes, but also on the efficiency of the heat sink and the service life of the driver.
3. Small indicators of luminous flux.

Despite the shortcomings, every year more and more potential consumers prefer LED round lamps. They are easy to install, economical, safe and durable. All these advantages more than compensate for the above disadvantages.

Before buying a circle lamp, it is important to study the technical characteristics of the device and select a device, taking into account its installation and the characteristics of the room. For private facilities, the best solution would be to buy a medium-power device (5-12W). The larger the area of ​​the room, the more powerful equipment will be required for high-quality lighting. It is also important to consider the type of diodes and the manufacturer. Give preference to goods of well-known and time-tested brands - this way you will protect yourself from buying low-quality products.

For wet rooms (bathroom, kitchen), it is advisable to take a closer look at models with a high index (from 40). Manufacturers often indicate on which surfaces the device can be mounted (ceiling, wall, tension structure). When choosing, you need to take this information into account.

With the help of such devices, it is possible to add a zest to the design, to zone the space, to place light accents. There are a huge number of round models on the market, which means that everyone can choose the best option for themselves and decorate the room in an original way.
