How Should We Distinguish Between LED Light Sources and LED Lamps

In the eyes of ordinary people, LED light sources seem the same as LED lamps, but these two concepts in the eyes of professionals are very different. From a professional perspective, there is a very obvious difference between LED light sources and LED lights. This article will compare and explain in multiple aspects of this difference. Interested friends will take a look. The definition of LED light sources and lamps: LED light sources are parts provided by LED lights or LED modules; LED lamps are designed as lamps designed with LED light sources. Luminaire definition is“A device that can distribute, reverse or transform one or more lights emits light, and includes all components necessary for support, fixing and protecting the lights (but excluding the light itself), and the necessary circuit auxiliary device and the power supply with the power supply to the power supply Connected device. The reason why LED is misunderstood as the LED light source is that almost all of the light sources in traditional lamps can be replaced. With the emergence of LEDs, most of the lamps using LED modules appear in uncomfortable forms. It seems to show an integrated trend. The boundaries between LED light sources and LED lamps seem unclear. Is the overall luminous device and can be regarded as a light source? Actually in the definition of lamps“Note”It is clearly written: The optical light that uses the overall non -replacement of the light source is considered a lamp. The lamp using the LED module is exactly an example of a lamp. The light source has the characteristics of different lamps: if the light source is metaphorical to the source water, the lamp is metaphorical to spring water. LED light sources can be used in the downlights and can be used in road lamps. Will“LED street light”or“LED tunnel light”Understand“light source”If you, you cannot be used again by other lamps, and with“Lamp”use“light source”The concept is contrary. The difference in the shell protection level is used as a light source. There is no special shell protection level requirement or the IP20 should be met. However, the shell protection level of indoor lamps should reach at least IP20. The shell protection level of LED street lamps should be at least IPX3. The shell protection level of the tunnel lamps should be at least IPX5.
