What Are The 3 Main Quality Problems Of LED Street Light

As LED street lights become more and more popular, they are replacing traditional street lights in many cities. However, there are some main quality problems that can arise with these LED street lights. This article will introduce the problems of LED street lamps for you in details.

Road construction is an important part of modern urban construction and LED street light is important equipment in road construction, which can light up the road at night and create a safe night environment for people. Therefore, we should give priority to the quality of the street lamp when purchasing them. Street lamps of poor quality are not stabilized in lighting performance, which will cause a lot of problems for later maintenance and replacement work. This not only affects the safety of pedestrians and drivers but also increases the bill of public expenditure burden for urban construction.

 

What are the main quality problems of LED street light?

In usual, road construction requires a large number of high-quality LED street lights to illuminate various roads in the city to ensure that normal night activities can be carried out normally. However, we will find some common quality problems even after our careful selection. Because some manufacturers cut costs to attract customers with low prices. But these low prices are achieved through the use of poor materials and processes, rather than technological innovation, so this has a great impact on the quality of LED street lights. In order to choose high-quality commercial LED street lights, and understand how street lights work, here we list the 3 main problems on LED drivers,chips and IP ratings.

1,The problem of LED driver failure

The problem of LED driver failure is an issue that has been plaguing the LED lighting industry for years. The driver is an essential component of LED lighting and is responsible for converting AC current to DC current which is required to power LEDs. When the driver fails, the LED light stops functioning correctly, which can be a significant problem for homeowners, businesses, and municipalities.

A driver failure can be caused by several factors. One of the most common causes of LED driver failure is heat. LED lights generate heat, and if the driver is not designed to handle the heat, it can fail. Over-voltage is another common cause of driver failure. If the voltage in the circuit is too high, the driver can become overloaded and fail. Another cause of driver failure is a power surge. If there is a sudden increase in power, the driver can be damaged or destroyed.

The problem of LED driver failure is exacerbated by the fact that many manufacturers produce low-quality drivers that are not designed to last. Many of these low-quality drivers are made with cheap components and lack the necessary protections to prevent failure. In some cases, manufacturers will even use counterfeit components to keep their costs low, which can lead to substandard performance and an increased risk of failure.

It seems that we can save the bill when buying a street light with a low-grade LED driver. But finally, you will find that you will pay more in the future for repairing it with a new LED driver. So street lights with high-quality LED driver is the best option when doing long-term street lighting project. That's why we insist to use the most well known LED driver brands like Meanwell and Inventronics, or other world-famous brands such as Philips and Tridonic .

2, The problem of poor LED chips

The main components of LED chips include bracket, chip, glue, phosphor and wire. Pressure welding is the most critical link of LED light-emitting diode packaging technology. In LED chips, the gold wires as leadwire are used for priority quality. Why high-end LEDs should be with this high-valued material. Because the 0.9999 pure gold wire can transfer the heat to the negative pin in time,also which has the advantages of high electrical conductivity, good welding and stability, high corrosion resistance,high temperature resistance,strong reflective ability. Anti-oxidation ensures the stability of connection, and the stretch ability of the gold wire is strong, and it is not easy to appear dead light phenomenon due to the fracture of the gold wire. If using other wires like copper alloy wires, gold-coated silver alloy wires, and silver alloy wires, will reduce the reliability of the light source and make the LED chips easier to fail due to disconnection after a period of use.

3, The problem of Lower IP

IP ratings indicate how well the light can resist moisture and dust. A higher IP rating means that the light is more resistant, while a lower IP rating means that the light is less resistant. Unfortunately, many LED street lights have a lower IP rating, which makes them more vulnerable to the elements.

Light IP rating is important for LED street lights. With a lower IP rating, the water will come into the electrical part of lamps, which does damage to the light. At the same time, we will face the problem of electric shock and injury.

 

In order to carry out your street lamp project smoothly, we suggest that under the premise of understanding how street lights work, you should carefully select a street light with a good and appropriate LED power supply and LED chips, also higher IP ratings. We believe that if we can achieve perfection in these fields, the LED street lamp you choose will be very popular and successful in the market.
