Well, here are a variety of lights :
1. Incandescent Lamp
This incandescent lamp uses a filament / filament wire to turn on. Here with the various types of gas low pressure in the tube. I used to know this lamp with a 5 watt lamp. In addition to the lighting at home, this lamp is also often used to help incubate the chicken eggs because of the heat generated from these lamps.
2. Neon Lamp / TL / Fluorescent Lamp
Many are familiar with this lamp with fluorescent lights. Why is it called a fluorescent lamp? Because inside the tube there is a gas neon / mercury vapor. In addition to fluorescent lights usually people also recognize it with TL lamps or Tube Luminescent. These lights in addition to elliptical, there is also shaped finger lamp, also called CFL (Compact Fluorescent Lamp). As the name suggests, this lamp is a practical version of the long and time-consuming shape of TL lamps.
3. LED Light / Light Emiting Diode
Is a semiconductor that can convert electrical energy into light. Well this lamp now may people wear it. For led lights there are also many types and shapes.
For now many people are switching from incandescent lamps, TL to LED lights. Actually what is their reason? follow the trend, try or any other benefits of the LED led itself?
Here are the advantages and disadvantages of Led lights:
Excess LED light:
1. More durable
Why the lifetime can be longer? if according to personall because of its physical form is more simple and compact. Where in the world of electronics the more simple components are more reliable and more durable. Perhaps that reduces the lifetime of LED lights are the other supporting components such as capacitors etc. So, if for the light itself can still be lit as long as the driver is still good gan. If for life time usually each lamp manufacturer have their own recipe to increase the lifetime of LED lights and each lamp lifetimenya depending on the factory claim that makes the lamp itself.
2. Save energy
Why save energy? because with the same power consumption with incandescent lamps and TL lamps, LED lamps are more able to produce higher lumens. Suppose compared there are three types of lights are incandescent, TL and LED. Each has a specification of 10 watts, if measured lumensnya using lux meters then the highest lumens will be obtained from LED lights.
3. The light of the LED light is not hot.
Try to distinguish when you hold a CFL, TL or an incandescent lamp with you when you hold the LED light. The surface of the led light will not be as hot as any other type of lamp.
4. Environmentally friendly.
As mentioned above, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps use a variety of gases inside the tube to turn on. One of them is mercury. Clearly not what mercury gas. In contrast to the led light that does not use harmful gases, therefore led is called environmentally friendly.
5. It has many color choices.
Surely this is one of the many further developments of led lights.
