Since its invention in the early 1800s, the light bulb has taken on many different forms and found a place in a great many applications. Of the thousands of light bulb styles available, there are five main types of light bulbs for residential applications: LED, incandescent, fluorescent tube, compact fluorescent, and halogen. All of these bulbs come in different sizes and shapes, and produce different levels and types of light.

Description

LED globes, or 'solid state

lighting' is fast becoming

the lighting of choice

thanks to its amazing

efficiency and long life.

These types of globe offer

bright, white light, which

is ideal task lighting and

fantastic as a reading

light.

When compared to

halogen, CFL are more

efficient, readily available

and burn far cooler.

Fluorescent tubes provide

a cool, functional and

relatively energy efficient

way to light large spaces.

These globes featured

many different shapes,

sizes and designs, offering

a variety of ways to

project light.

NOW DISCONTINUED

How it works LEDs create light when their semiconductor crystal is

stimulated.

Semi-Conductor

Running electricity through a metal filament heats it

and causes it to glow. The globe is contained in an

inert gas with a small amount of halogen. As the light

operates, a cycle known as the ‘halogen cycle’ occurs

between the tungsten and the halogen, which protects

the filament and considerably improves the lifetime of

the globe.

A current is passed through a tube filled with argon

gas and mercury vapour, which is coated with a

phosphor coating. When the mercury vapour is

excited, it releases energy in the form of ultraviolet

light, which then reacts with the phosphor coating to

emit light from the globe that is visible to the human

eye.

A current is passed through a tube filled with argon

gas and mercury vapour, which is coated with a

phosphor coating. When the mercury vapour is active,

it releases energy in the form of ultraviolet light, which

then reacts with the phosphor coating to emit visible

light from the globe.

Incandescent light globes work by running electricity

through and heating a thin filament of wire so that it

glows. These globes are infamous for the amount of

heat they produce; of the power it takes to operate a

standard incandescent light globe, approximately 80%

is wasted as heat rather than light.

There are a number of base options as shown below. Each base type is available with a variety of globe options. The range of globe and base types available in LED is constantly expanding. The type of base will also determine the voltage that is used, if a base is 12 Volts then a transformer

or driver is required. A 240V base is wired directly to the power.

The two main voltage types when working with lighting are 12 Volts and 240 Volts. As illustrated below, a 12V light requires a transformer to enable it to draw power from a 240V socket. Most 240V lamp bases are wired directly to the building’s power circuit and require no conversion.

Wattage

A watt is a unit of electrical power. We measure electrical usage in watts and pay for our electricity according to the number of watts we use. The previously widespread use of incandescent lights has led to a common misconception that wattage represents the brightness of a globe.

Lumens

A lumen is in fact the correct unit of measurement used to express how bright a light source is. An easy way to illustrate this measurement is to imagine a birthday cake with candles. A lamp that puts out one lumen of light is as bright as one birthday candle. A lamp that puts out 100 lumens of light is as bright as 100 candles. Thus the higher the amount of lumens, the brighter the light.

Lux

Lux is a measurement of the light intensity falling on a surface. This measurement determines the brightness of a light in a space and is dictated by Australian standards. Lux meters are available to determine lighting levels and evaluate the energy efficiency of lighting designs.

• One lumen per square metre = One lux • One lumen per square foot = One footcandle

Colour Temperature

Colour temperature is the colour appearance of the light emitted by a source. The colour temperature of a light source can generally be categorised as warm, natural, cool and daylight. Colour temperature is measured using Kelvin (K).

6 | P a g e


Beam Angle

Beam angle refers to a light source’s measure of spread and is measured in degrees. A light’s beam angle is determined when its lux level drops to half of the intensity of the centre beam (see diagram). Beam angles are commonly 15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees.

Example – 60Deg Globe at 1m away is 700 lux

Colour Rendering CRI / RA Index

Colour rendering describes how a light source makes the colour of an object appear to human eyes and how well subtle variations in colour shades are revealed. The Colour Rendering Index (CRI) is a scale from 0 to 100 percent indicating how accurate a "given" light source is at rendering colour when compared to a "reference" light source. The higher the CRI, the better the colour rendering ability. Light sources with a CRI of 85 to 90 are considered good at colour rendering.

What is an LED?

LED is actually an abbreviation for light emitting diode; essentially, it is a semi-conductor type of

electronic component that produces light. An LED is NOT anything like a traditional light bulb where

electricity is used to heat a tungsten filament until it glows (similar to a toaster), these are inefficient

and gradually evaporate until they burn out. LEDs are much smaller than traditional light bulbs and

fit easily into electrical circuits. Recent technological advancements have led to LEDs being desirable

for home, office and commercial lighting spaces.

Benefits of LED

Shock resistant: LED lights are a solid state designed component and due to this they are reasonably resistant to breakages caused by transit, being dropped or similar incidents.

Savings: LED lights run with up to 88% less energy consumption compared to most Halogen and incandescent globes and an impressive 60%+ less energy consumption than fluorescent globes and tubes which means you not only save money but you're helping protect our environment.

Temperature: LED lighting produces far less heat than conventional lighting, in some cases where an array of lights are used you can even save on your cooling bills!

Safety: Due to their lower operating temperature LED lights are safer to use in the home by reducing the threat of house fires caused by ambient heat. They are electrically safe and are cool to touch for children’s lamps.

Light Quality: The more focused lighting provided by LEDs is ample light for all conditions; whether replacing tubes, halogens, incandescent or CFLs you will instantly find the light a more stable, crisp, clear light with distinctive colouring to suit.

Instant ON: LED lights have the ability to be turned on and off and to full capacity quicker than any other form of lighting. There is no flickering like CFLs and no lengthy warm up times.

Dimming: LED lights can be dimmed provided that the electronic components allow this. Generally you will need to use a LED driver and suitable dimmer pot to allow this.

Life: LED lights in general have a life expectancy of 35,000 – 50,000 hours. This means that even operating for 6-8 hours a day you should see your lights exceed 15 years with our high quality LED lights.

Non-Toxic: LED lights do not contain heavy metals or gases when compared to fluorescent bulbs. They also give off no UV radiation, reducing the risk of damage to skin, upholstery and more.

Size: LED lights can be produced very small making them more versatile than incandescent or fluorescent lights.

Selecting the correct LED

Energy saving lighting is about reducing the wattage used in a light fitting while maintaining the strength of the light output. For example, a standard halogen downlight uses 50 watts, but you can purchase LED alternatives ranging from 4.5 watts to 14 watts. Generally, the higher the wattage, the higher the light output.

When comparing an LED globe to an existing bulb it is necessary to compare the lumen output to ensure the same output of light. The conversion table below gives approximate comparisons. Please keep in mind that each individual globe may vary slightly in lumen output.

LED Drivers

All 12volt LED globes require a driver or transformer. This allows the globe to be adapted to accept the 24oV power available in all Australian buildings. When selecting or using a driver the wattage displayed on the product determines the maximum wattage that can be used.

For Example – a 30W driver can be used to run 5 X 6W 12V globes or 3 x 10w 12V Globes with each combination totalling 30W. It is also very important when a driver is installed for use outdoors that it must have an IP67 rating.

MR16 LED Compatibility with Halogen Transformers

The two most common halogen transformers used to power downlights in Australia are the Iron Core / Magnetic (big and heavy) type, and the Electronic (lightweight with plastic casing) type.

Iron Core Transformers rarely have issues which prevent them from powering LED lamps correctly, and are used with leading edge dimmers. In most cases it will not be necessary to replace the existing transformer.

Electronic transformers on the other hand, may have a minimum lamp load rating required for the transformer, meaning that an LED globe may actually use too little (!) power for the transformer to operate correctly. This can be easily overcome with a replacement LED-compatible transformer. Each transformer will indicate a minimum load which is generally between 10W – 60W. LEDware retrofit globes have been tested

on Clipsal and HPM branded transformers. Alternatively we advise testing a globe with a given transformer before proceeding with an order as there are over 100 brands of transformers.

Downlights

LEDware offers a number of Downlights, ranging from 5 to 12watts. The downlights are available in warm and cool white temperatures. Each downlight is a complete fitting which includes the frame, the LED and the driver which is ready for the electrician to wire.

Downlights are available in a number of sizes; remember when replacing an existing downlight to confirm the cut out size (literally the diameter of the existing hole in the ceiling.) The cut out size of each LEDware downlight can be found on the packaging or the specification sheet. Downlights are also available in fixed and gimble options.

Light Bulbs

LEDware have a number of light globe options, the standard options being E27/ES (screw-in) or B22/BC (bayonet), each available in Cool white or Warm white. You will find an LEDware globe comparison chart to a standard incandescent globe below. The beam spread is another thing to consider. While incandescent and compact fluorescent lights put off light in all directions (As per image below), LED lighting typically sends its light in one direction. This will cause an LED globe to appear brighter than the comparative traditional globe.

Tube Lights

LEDware stock two types of tubes; standard and Universal. To determine both types, all product codes ending in U are universal tubes and all other codes are standard. All LEDware tubes are Cool or Natural white.

STANDARD TUBE – Requires the Fluorescent starter to be replaced with the LED starter, once completed insert the LED tube. A starter comes complete with all standard tubes. (Suitable for Magnetic Ballast)

UNIVERSAL TUBE - A direct replacement. Remove the fluorescent and place the LED tube into the fitting. The Fluorescent starter does not need to replaced. (Suitable for Electronic or Magnetic Ballast)

HOW TO DETERMINE THE BALLAST TYPE

The easiest way to tell which light fixture you have is by looking for a 'starter'. The MAGNETIC BALLAST has 'starter' while the ELECTRONIC BALLAST does not.

How long do LED lights last?

Most LEDs have a life expectancy of 35,000 – 50,000hrs. If a light is used for 6 hours per night and has a life expectancy of 35,000hrs it should last for approximately 16 years! On average, LED lights will last 10 times longer than compact fluorescents and 25 times longer than incandescent or halogen lights.

Do LED lights work with motion sensors?

Yes!

How can I tell what wattage globe I have already?

This information will be printed on, or etched into, the base of the globe.

What are the benefits of replacing your ordinary bulbs with energy saving LED bulbs?

There are many numerous benefits; immediate reduction in your electricity bill, less heat is emitted because LED bulbs are very efficient converting electricity into light, unlike incandescent bulbs that convert most of the electricity consumed into heat. LED Bulbs last a very long time: typically 35,000-50,000 hours. By comparison, incandescent bulbs usually last 1000-2000 hours. LED globes are highly durable and they do not contain mercury or other hazardous chemicals, unlike Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs (CFL's) that need to be disposed of carefully when their life is over. Also, 90-95% of the components in an LED bulb are recyclable.

Do these light bulbs produce a lot of heat?

NO! They are extremely energy efficient and convert most of the electricity used into visible light, unlike incandescent bulbs that convert 95% of the electricity consumed into heat.

Do I need an LED Driver?

Not ALWAYS. Traditionally LED bulbs have been driven using series resistance, this usually works okay if there are no external loads applied to the circuit, which may affect it.

Do these lights flicker?

NO – LEDs do not flicker.

Can LEDs be dimmable?

YES – selected products in our range are dimmable.

17 | P a g e


I like the 12w dimmable (Warm White) downlight. How far apart should they be spaced for residential use?

The quantity of downlights depends on the size of the room, the standard rule is a 4 x 4m room will require 4 or a 4 x 8m room requires 8. Australian regulations are available.

Is it safe to buy LED lights from eBay?

eBay is a very popular online auction site. However, it’s important to be aware that LED is a new technology, and with any new technology there are many businesses that will try to profiteer from it, and may use eBay to do so. It is very important for a product to have Australian Standard approvals number also known as SAA. This means that the items have been tested in Australia and are approved by a government body.

Do LED lights produce UV rays?

NO – UV rays (Ultraviolet light rays) are the light wavelengths that can cause sunburn and skin damage. Incandescent, halogen & compact fluorescent lights all produce harmful UV rays which can increase the risk of skin damage over a period of time. Or damage to upholstery, etc.
