LED downlight is a type of lighting fixture that is embedded into the ceiling and emits downward light. Compared with traditional down lights, it has advantages such as energy saving, low-carbon, long lifespan, good color rendering, and fast response speed. Although the failure rate of LED down lights is low and hardly requires careful maintenance, regular maintenance and cleaning are still required during use. Generally speaking, in order to prolong the lifespan of lamps, it is advisable to minimize the number of times the lamps are turned on and off, and regularly clean the dust on the lamps to ensure brightness. Let's take a look at the specific introduction of LED downlight maintenance and upkeep.

Characteristics of LED down lights

1. Energy saving: The power consumption of the same brightness is half of that of ordinary energy-saving lamps.

2. Environmental protection: It does not contain harmful substances such as mercury and has no pollution to the environment.

3. Economy: Saving electricity can reduce electricity expenses and recover the cost of lighting fixtures within one and a half years. A family can save dozens of yuan in electricity bills per month.

4. Low carbon: Saving electricity is equivalent to reducing carbon emissions.

5. Long lifespan: The lifespan of LED lamps is 100000 hours. Based on six hours of use per day, one LED lamp can last for 40 years.

How to maintain LED down lights

1. After buying back the lighting fixtures, do not be busy with installation. You should read the markings of the lighting fixtures and read the installation and operation instructions before installing and using the lighting fixtures according to the instructions, otherwise there may be danger.

2. During cleaning and maintenance, attention should be paid not to change the structure of the lighting fixtures, nor to replace the components of the lighting fixtures casually. After cleaning and maintenance is completed, the lighting fixtures should be installed as they are, without missing or mistakenly installing the lighting components.

3. The light tubes in the room should be regularly wiped with a dry cloth, and attention should be paid to preventing moisture from invading, in order to avoid rusting, damage, or leakage or short circuit over time; Lamps installed in toilets and bathrooms must be equipped with moisture-proof lampshades, otherwise their service life will be greatly shortened; Lamps installed in the kitchen should pay special attention to preventing oil fumes, as the accumulation of oil stains can affect the lighting level of the lamp; Light colored lampshades have good light transmittance, but are prone to sticking to dust. It is important to wipe them frequently to avoid affecting the light penetration; If the lamp is non-metallic, it can be wiped with a damp cloth to avoid dust accumulation and hinder the lighting effect.

4. Try to minimize the number of switches. The principle of lighting switch is mainly to use the rapid increase in filament temperature to accelerate sublimation. Frequent switching on and off will cause the filament to heat up multiple times, which will naturally shorten the lifespan of the filament. Therefore, do not switch on and off the lamp too frequently.

5. If there are problems, replace the light source parameters provided according to the signs in a timely manner. When replacing the light source, it is necessary to pay attention to the key items such as the type of light source, interface type, power, color temperature, etc. on the lamp label, especially not to install the type of light source by mistake. Otherwise, it is very easy to cause safety accidents such as explosions (such as connecting low-voltage light sources to high-voltage lamps) or directly damage the light source and electrical appliances. At the same time, when replacing the light source, please note that the lamp should be powered off first, and then replaced with a light source of the same model and power after the light source cools down. Generally, the manufacturer of the lamp will have a clear maximum limit mark on the light source in the lamp manual. Please choose a light source that is less than or equal to the maximum limit.

6. Regularly clean the dust on the lamp surface. Statistics show that if a lamp accumulates too much dust, the average annual lighting level will decrease by about 30%. Therefore, cleaning dust can not only increase the lifespan of the lamp, but also make the lighting level higher.
