Normal lighting with self - ballast fluorescent lamps is a large area of energy-saving lighting products, commonly known as electronic energy-saving lamps or
energy-saving lamp. Energy-saving lamps generally by the lamp holder, plastic shell and internal electronic ballasts, fluorescent tubes, which is convenient for use, and the ratio of incandescent lighting luminous efficiency of 5 ~ 10 times higher, the average life expectancy of more than 6 times, is replacing traditional incandescent bulbs
A), lamp holder size. The
lamp holders in national standard for screw cap or bayonet lamp. Cap quality relates to energy-saving lamps of interchangeability and protection against electric shock and other security requirements, cap the size of unqualified easily lead to broke off from the lamp holder, lamp and electric shock risk
B), Mechanical strength. Mechanical strength is a measure of the lamp holder and the lamp body with strong degree of index, standard lamp should be and the lamp body is firmly connected should be able to withstand a certain torque. If the lamp holder, a lamp shell between the connection strength is too low, users can install or replace the lamp when screwed in or out of the torque is likely to cause from the lamp holder and the lamp shell, ranging from the impact of light use, caused heavy internal wire breakage and short circuit
C), Power. The standard requirements for the actual consumption of power and rated power difference shall not exceed 15%, this indicator is an important basis for consumers in the choice of light. When the lamp's actual consumption power and the nominal power difference is too far, the amount of light will be greatly reduced, which is one of the main performance of fake and shoddy products
D), initial luminous efficiency and luminous flux. Initial luminous efficiency is the luminous flux and the actual power consumption ratio, it is an important indicator of whether an objective evaluation of energy-saving lamp energy conservation, self ballasted fluorescent lamp energy efficiency rating is divided into 3 levels, energy efficiency grade 1, the highest grade 3 minimum efficiency. The initial light effect and the fast light recession are also the main characteristics and means of fake and inferior products.
E), life time. The average life expectancy of the standard requirements for energy saving lamps shall not be less than 6000h. Long service life is an important advantage of the use of energy-saving lamps, the current part of the production enterprises due to circuit design is unreasonable, the use of poor quality lamps or electronic components, resulting in the average service life of the lamp is far less than 6000h, and the consistency is very poor, giving consumers a sense of power saving
F), harmonic current. Harmonic current should be as small as possible. Due to the size and cost of energy-saving lamps and other reasons, the majority of energy-saving lamps are made of low power factor, harmonic current.
