It is because SMD LEDs have the brightness, efficiency, lifetime, color temperature and white point stability required for general lighting. Therefore, the vast majority of general lighting applications are designed with these SMDs, such as street lights, parking areas, and indoor directional lighting applications. At the same time, because in these applications, LED-based lighting reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) to a wider range of applications due to the lack of maintenance (because the life of LEDs is much longer than that of conventional bulbs) and lower energy consumption.
According to relevant statistics, there are still more than 20 billion lamps and lanterns using incandescent, halogen or fluorescent lamps around the world. Many of these fixtures are used for directional lighting, but all use lamps that emit light in all directions. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in new residential construction, SMD light-emitting diodes, ceiling lights are the most commonly installed lighting fixtures. In addition, DOE reports that ceiling lights with non-reflective lamps are generally only 50 percent efficient, meaning that half of the light produced by these fixtures is wasted inside the fixture.
In contrast, lighting grade LED light emitting diodes have at least 50,000 hours of efficient, directional illumination. Indoor lighting designed to take advantage of all the benefits of lighting grade LEDs has the following advantages:
1.Outperforms existing incandescent and halogen fixtures by a wide margin.
2.Light-emitting diodes can match the performance of even the best CFL (compact fluorescent) ceiling lamps
3.SMD light-emitting diode lamps and lanterns compared with ordinary lamps, need less maintenance, long life characteristics
4.SMD light-emitting diode lamps and lanterns to reduce the impact of light on the environment: does not contain mercury, power station pollution is small, low waste disposal costs, environmental protection
