Luminaire LCD - the best choice for outdoor lighting

Going out on the street in the dark, we do not think at all about which luminaries illuminate our path. The main thing is to make it light. Meanwhile, for people directly involved in ensuring the normal operation of street lighting, the choice of type of fixtures is a very important point.

Luminary LCD - purpose

In a nutshell, the purpose of this luminaire is defined as follows: outdoor lighting. That is, in his power to illuminate any territory: street, yard, park. Due to the variety of models, you can choose the best option, which will also serve as a decoration.

Luminary LCD - versions

By the type of attachment to the outdoor lighting support, these devices are cantilevered. That is, unlike the floor-lamp, crowning the support from above, the LCD lamps are fixed at an angle of 70-75 degrees relative to the vertical of the support. The cases of different models of the luminaire differ in form: from miniature (in relation to others) oval (HCS 06) to brutal, almost cubic (HU 77, "Elf PP", HUS 28). There are shells of spherical shape: HCS 19 and SCH 24 - "Selena". And the case of the Alfa model resembles an alien spaceship in shape. But the main thing is not the form, but the content: depending on the diameter of the cap (27 or 40 mm), the type of ballasts (ballasts) and the shape of the reflector, these or other lamps have different power, and, accordingly, should be set to a greater or lesser degree Height.

Maximum power consumption, which can have a luminary LCD - 400 W, minimum - 70 W. The body material is metal with an anti-corrosion coating or heat-resistant shock-resistant plastic. Material of protective glass - lighting polycarbonate.

Luminaire LCD - type of lamp

The lamp deserves special attention, because it is for its optimal operation and a lamp is created. In our case, this is a sodium gas discharge lamp (DNaT). Depending on the type of lighting fixture, different types of power transformers are used. For example: the luminaire LCD 250 should be equipped with a lamp with a diameter of 40 mm base and 250 watts. The advantage of sodium gas discharge lamps in front of mercury lamps is that with the same power consumption, the sodium lamp gives a greater level of illumination. That is why the municipal enterprises, which are concerned with energy saving issues and who service outdoor lighting networks, prefer housing and utilities to the choice of fixtures. In addition, the warm orange glow of the lamps is most comfortable for the eyesight in the dark. Motorists say that it is very convenient to travel on roads illuminated in this way.

If a luminaire is used on the inner yard, the tenants are very satisfied: the whole courtyard is perfectly visible, but the light of the bulbs that strikes the windows at night is not annoying. And how the night-time city is adorned with chains of orange lights!

Conclusion

In addition to all the advantages listed above, the LCDs are simple and reliable in operation. Sufficiently long service life and optimal cost determine the choice of these devices by specialists to ensure the good operation of outdoor lighting networks.
