Correct use of Led tube lights

With the development and progress of society, lighting products are constantly updated, but even so, the major categories of mainstream products have not changed much.

From old fluorescent lamps, to energy-saving lamps, to today's LED lamps.

Products are becoming more and more energy-efficient and efficient, and with the sharp price reduction of LED lights in recent years, Led tube lights slowly began to replace the old-fashioned traditional tubes, which should have been a good thing. However, many people have misunderstandings about the use of Led tube lights. Next, the Chinese Led tube lights manufacturer will introduce the correct use of Led tube lights.

Why did my Led tube lights burn out as soon as I put the bracket on?

We all know that Led tube lights and brackets or grilles are inseparable. The copper sheets in the lamp caps at both ends of the bracket are in contact with the thimbles at both ends of the Led tube lights to energize, so that the lamps are turned on and bright. The reason is so, but it is not so simple.

For example, fluorescent lamps work like this:

Using high-voltage or high-frequency electricity, mercury vapor is activated in argon or neon gas, forming plasma and emitting short-wave ultraviolet light, causing phosphorous to fluoresce visible for illumination.

And it is precisely in order to activate fluorescent lamps, traditional brackets are generally equipped with ballasts. There are two mainstream ballasts, one is "electromagnetic induction" ballast (referred to as "inductance"), and the other is "electronic frequency conversion". "ballast ("electronic" for short).

The principle of inductive lighting of fluorescent lamps is:

When the ballast is not activated, the mains voltage is almost entirely applied to the ballast L to charge it, and a high voltage of at least several thousand volts will be generated. When the ballast is started, the high voltage stored in the inductor will instantly impact the lamp caps at both ends to activate the gas in the fluorescent tube, thereby lighting.

The principle of electronically lighting fluorescent lamps is:

The electronic ballast is equipped with a large number of electronic components. Through the components, the mains power supply is effectively adjusted, and the electrical frequency is increased, and the fluorescent lamp is activated by high frequency instead of high voltage.

This high voltage and high frequency are fatal to the Led tube lights that originally had their own power supply. The instantaneous voltage and frequency shock will cause the electronic components of the power supply in the Led tube lights to break, burn, and even cause serious damage. Causes a disconnection of the line.

This is also the main reason why the Led tube lights will burst and burn when they are installed on the bracket equipped with the magnetic ballast.

What is the correct way to use Led tube lights?

A bracket for installing Led tube lights, no ballast is required inside! That is, what we often call the "empty shell" bracket is enough

It only needs to connect the live wire and neutral wire to the lamp heads at both ends of the bracket, and directly connect to the mains. The rest is the work of the built-in power supply in the Led tube lights. The power supply will automatically convert the mains power into its own voltage and electricity. It can drive the chip in the LED lamp bead to achieve the effect of lighting up and emit light, and because of the effective conversion, it can avoid excessive useless power consumption by the LED tube lights, thus achieving the purpose of energy saving.

Therefore, for those friends who are going to replace traditional lamps with Led tube lights, and do not plan to use traditional lamps, all you have to do is to remove the ballast in the bracket of the Led tube lights, and for the new installation Audience friends of Led tube lights, when buying a bracket, you only need to buy an empty shell bracket.

However, for customers who still plan to use traditional fluorescent tubes, please remember to choose a tube holder with a high-quality ballast when purchasing.

Replacing the Led tube lights bracket or dismantling the ballast is recommended to be carried out by a skilled electrician under safe power conditions.
