Can you really choose LED port lighting?

Ports are important gateways for global trade. There are nearly 10,000 large and small ports around the world, which makes many companies in the LED industry regard port lighting as a major opportunity. However, port lighting now faces many challenges, such as the application of coastal environments, the height of light poles, the distance and power selection of lamps.

High-pressure sodium lamps are still used in most ports such as bridge cranes, container areas, and transportation areas. Although high-pressure sodium lamps have the advantages of high luminous efficiency, long life, and strong fog permeability, they also have obvious disadvantages such as mercury pollution and high energy consumption. . As the environment continues to deteriorate in recent years, energy conservation and emission reduction have become an urgent requirement for countries around the world. Therefore, the demand for LED lamps in ports continues to increase. However, due to the special usage environment of the port, the performance requirements of LED lamps are very high.

What are the performance requirements for LED lamps in the special usage environment of the port?

1. The port environment is usually humid, so the product sealing must be good, and the air contains a lot of salt spray. This environment requires higher waterproof, dustproof, and anti-corrosion levels for the lamps. If the protection level of the lamp is insufficient, the internal circuit may be short-circuited by moisture or corroded by salt spray, thus affecting the service life and safety of the lamp. LEDRHYTHM products are produced normally after being tested by a salt spray test machine, and a salt spray test report can be issued.

2. Port lighting needs to consider energy consumption and environmental protection issues. Most ports across the country work continuously 24 hours a day. Because the site is large, the electricity bill for lighting fixtures for the safety of employees during work is also a large expense. Therefore, the use of high-efficiency and energy-saving LED fixtures can reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. At the same time, It can also reduce the impact on the port environment.

3. Ports are located along the coast or near rivers and lakes, and foggy weather often occurs. Therefore, LED lamps are required to have high light transmittance, wide adaptability, large operating range, and high illumination requirements. And due to the special nature of the port, there are also specific requirements for the color, direction, angle, etc. of lighting.

In our case, you can see the application of LEDRHYTHM's LED lamps in port lighting. Compared with traditional light sources, LED lamps have higher luminous efficiency and can provide brighter and more uniform lighting effects. At the same time, the lifespan of LED lamps is as long as tens of thousands of hours, which greatly reduces maintenance costs and time.

Are LED drivers AC or DC?

LEDs need a dependable power source in order to function. This power is supplied by LED drivers, which convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC). By adjusting for variations in the temperature and electrical conductivity of the LEDs, they provide a consistent and continuous power supply.

There are two types of LED drivers: Constant Current LED drivers and Constant Voltage LED drivers.

LED power sources that provide a “constant-current” output have typically been referred to as LED drivers. In the past, AC-DC power supplies that provided a regulated “constant-voltage” to LEDs were referred to as LED power supplies. Today, the terms “LED driver” and “LED power supply” are used interchangeably.

In certain cases, a malfunction of the LED driver could be attributed to extreme high-temperature factors, as operating at elevated temperatures can lead to component damage due to heat accumulation. In other instances, damage to the LED driver might result from voltage instability in the power grid or surges caused by lightning strikes. Furthermore, when the output voltage and current of the LED driver do not match the electrical parameters of the LED chips, the LEDs may fail to operate properly, leading us to suspect a malfunction in the LED driver.

Flickering is one of the most common indicators of a faulty LED driver. Additionally, a change in the brightness or dimness of the lights also signifies a defective LED driver. Finally, if LED lamps do not work at all, it could also suggest a problem with the LED driver, SPD, or the LEDs being broken.
