R7S LED lamp - Replacing the "thermometer" in the spotlight. R7S LED lamp - Replacing the "thermometer" in the spotlight Diode lamp for a halogen spotlight

Modern trends have been formed in such a way that the LED light bulbs are the most economical, practical, safe and efficient sources of light that do not have more or less similar analogues. The rest of the products are much more than drawbacks, so today the replacement of halogen lamps on the LED is not surprising.

Some people wish to save on electricity, others want to improve the safety of chandeliers or point lamps, the third pursue several goals at once. Despite a number of obvious advantages, not always this replacement will be effective and necessary.

Advantages of LED chandelier

The main advantage of the use of the LED lamp in the chandelier is the exit time to full power. Take a look at the incandescent lamp: when turned on, the brightness rises gradually. A similar situation with halogen and, moreover, luminescent (mercury) sources. As for LED light bulbs, they begin to fully shine instantly after switching on.

Important! Such products are not afraid of voltage drops, frequent on and off.

Above already written about security. To power the LEDs, the minimum voltage is required, so these devices do not represent hazards when replacing, screwing or disassembling. If repairing the incandescent lamp does not make sense, then the LED is often maintainable.

Positive features of halogen

Halogen lamps in chandeliers use no accident. They have certain advantages, including a simple and comfortable design. In fact, halogens are an improved version of the intensity of the heat thread (above brightness, light return, etc.). In the manufacture of the flask, the glass is mixed with quartz, which increases the strength and tightness of the products. Additional protective components enhance the resistance of the halogen to high temperatures and the effects of chemically active elements.

Differences between halogen and LED devices Mass, but the main inquiry to replace the factor remains economy. Despite the seeming simplicity, it is not enough to buy a LED source with an identical base and similar power. This process is associated with some nuances discussed below.

Problems when replacing halogen on diode lamps

Difficulties may occur when replacing halogen on 12 V. Light bulbs of both types are switched through a special power supply. In fact, we are talking about a transformer that reduces the voltage of the network 220 V to the desired value (12 V) and the stabilizing parameter to eliminate the drops. Theoretically, when choosing a light source with an identical basement, you can freely replace.

In fact, power supplies for halogen lamps only lower voltage, while LED analogs for normal operation require a stabilized voltage. If a lamp was replaced without reworking the electrical circuit, then when the diodes are turned on, it will constantly flash. You may not notice this ripple, but it will be perceived by the retina, which will lead to fast fatigue and nervousness.

This is not the only difficulty associated with the implementation of such a replacement. LED sources consume the minimum amount of electricity (starting from 1 W), and the halogen transformer generates much more, so it will often be turned off, which will definitely affect the stable flow of current. To understand how much the difference in electricity consumed for halogen and LED light bulbs is enough to look at a simple example: when replacing a halogen device with a power of 40 W to preserve the nominal intensity of the glow, it is enough to buy a diode light source by 1.5 W.

Problems may occur with the functionality of the remote control of the chandelier. Actual for some models of lamps.

When considering the design of the halogen lamp, you will notice that the incandescent thread is located near the base G4. The emitting diode in the LED product is located on the base. As a result, the dispersion angle and the illuminated surface in two cases will be completely different.

Transformer replacement

The problems listed above can easily eliminate: dismount the transformer for halogen products and instead, install the power supply with parameters suitable for the Mounted LED Lamp group. It is necessary to consider not only the supply voltage (12 V), but also other characteristics. When choosing an item, focus on the total power of the plug-in lighting devices. If necessary, you can use two or three transformers.

These calculations are performed relatively simple: Count the number of installed light sources in the group and multiply their number to the power of one (provided that the same lamps have chosen). For example, if the power of the LED product is 2 W, in the group of them 10 pieces, the transformer must withstand the total load of 20 W (it is desirable to increase the parameter by 10%; as a result, we obtain 22 W).

When comparing halogen and LED lamps, it becomes obvious that the power is first 2-3 times higher than the total load of the whole group of the second. Buying a transformer for diodes, make sure that the dimensions of the electrical element approximately coincide with the power supply for the halogen.

To install the transformer, it is enough to drop the wires from the scheme of the old power supply and connect to a new one. If there is no possibility, then snack old wires and switch from the very beginning.

Should I change

Similar changes in the electronic chandelier will require great efforts, consolidated temporary and financial costs. However, from here you can extract a lot of advantages.

The service life of the halogen lamp is approximately 4000 hours, LED devices - 25-30 thousand hours. Add to this the substantial savings of electricity, which is achieved by reducing the power consumed by the chaloss, while maintaining the nominal glow intensity. If there were five halogeries of 40 W, the total load was 200 watts. In the case of LED products, the load will be 7.5-10 W. Thus, a similar replacement is quite rational and justified. In order to save the LED apparatus, used in powerful spotlights installed in stadiums.

Above, we forgot to mention another important parameter, taken into account when buying LED sources, - Color temperature. For the eyes, warm, yellow shades are more pleasant, but the more white light, the more intense will be the light stream. Halogen lamps have about the same color temperature - about 2700 K (yellow glow), while for LED range is significantly higher - from 2500 to 6,500 K. with an increase in color temperature, the glow becomes bright and white.

How to change the halogen light bulb in the suspended ceiling?

If we decided to replace the halogen on LED lamps, we suggest familiarizing yourself with the step-by-step instructions for this process:

1. Be sure to make the room. Electricity supply is disconnected from the distribution panel in the tambour / entrance.
2. Replace the internal mechanism - block (transformer), which will not only be reduced, but also stabilize the voltage.
3. Remove the cartridge from the lamp.
4. Install the LED product with the corresponding basement.
5. If required, then insulate the wiring. Make sure that the chandelier has fixed tightly.

How to replace a halogen lamp in a dot lamp

The algorithm of action in the case of point luminaires is stored for the same. Remove the fixing ring, after binding the room, dismantle the halogenka by driving it out of the cartridge, set the new one and fix the instrument housing. If the light bulb is, then when dismantling wear gloves or use a rag so as not to leave fat stains on the surface of the flasks that significantly reduce the durability of the product. Similarly, act with a new halogenka.

LED designs can also be used in dot luminaires. In this case, follow the instructions from the previous section, not forgetting the installation of a suitable transformer.

The replacement of halogen bulbs on the LED is a lot of difficulties in themselves, but if you act correctly, competently and not save on a new power supply, the disadvantages will be imperceptible due to the mass of the advantages that can ultimately extract. The process is not cheap, since the cost of high-quality LED bulbs is much higher than the price of halogens. You also need to buy a new transformer. General modernization can do in a round sum - from 1000 to 3000 rubles. However, the money will be returned with interest due to the more economical consumption of electricity and durability of instruments.

I lay in my garage an old halogen lamp for 500 W. I used it to illuminate the bottom of the car from the observation pit. A very comfortable good lamp with a handle and a protective grid. But the trouble: the halogen lamp burned. Of course, such lamps are on sale and to this day, but I decided to update the lamp to make it more economical, brighter and more durable.

In the Chinese market, LED matrices with embedded drivers began to appear at all so long ago on the body of the matrix itself. This driver is designed for alternating voltage 220 V. If in a nutshell, then it is just a LED that feeds directly from the network voltage without additional boxes and devices.

And the main plus is the low price -.

Purchase cost less than 150 rubles. I took the LED matrix to 50 W and a voltage of 220V, which I actually needed. The brightness of such an LED is quite comparable to a 500 W halogen lamp.

Alteration of the lamp in the LED

Unlocked the screw fastening the glass, took out a glass with a rubber gasket. Plus, this lamp is that he is hermetic.
And began to think like a lamp to replace the LED. The idea came by itself.

Unscrew the screw fastening of the reflector reflector. I remove it, it is made of fine aluminum, very easily bends.

Then unscrew the block of fastening halogen lias. From the pads by disconnecting the wire feed voltage wires.

I will secure the LED on the back wall - it fits perfectly, and the charging of the spotlight will perform the role of the radiator (it is made of duralumin), since the LED cannot be included without any heat sink. Although it has built-in overheating protection, but we will not test it.

I will not make a cut in the reflector, and I will cover everything with him. For this it is necessary that the reflector sat close to the housing of the rear wall of the lamp. Therefore, the solutions of the aluminum reflector pliers. Periodically check so that everything is sitting tightly and good.

If everything is sicked well, we take a screwdriver with a thin drill on metal and drill four holes for fastening the LED straight at the place.

Then take the thermal conducting paste and flash the four surfaces: the rear wall of the lamp, the rear and front part of the reflector and the LED matrix seat.

We will collect everything again and fix the self-drawing. You can also use screws with nuts, but I personally took small screws. Nothing terrible if they hang out a little behind - I will fix it a little later.

All, almost everything is ready. It remains only to fall the network wires to the matrix, put a sealing gum with glass and close the lamp.

Everything works perfectly. It seems to me to shine even brighter than it was, but he was heated at times less.
The LED matrix is \u200b\u200bunleashed by stress with the seating area, and the network phase will not switch to the body. But it is better not to forget to twist ground wire to the case.

I used such a reworked spotlight for more than a month. In principle, there are no shortcomings, some advantages. Especially saving in rubles for electricity on the face.

In our online store you can find and buy lamp With the following color temperature:

warm white light 2700-3000 K;

neutral (natural) white light 4000-4200 K;

office / cold white light 6000-6500 K.

The lamp light spectrum should be selected based on the spotlight location. For premises, you can buy a lamp with a warm white or neutral glow, but the cold white light is more preferable for the street, since it is the most bright and will provide a choir

Modern lighting equipment manufacturers use new and new technologies in order to offer their customers the products of the highest quality. Searchlights refer to the class of moisture-proof lighting equipment, which is actively used for installation in industrial workshops, warehouse and utility rooms, entrances of apartment buildings, as well as for street lighting - on car parkings, receiving areas, in parks, squares, etc. due to the durable The metal corpure of the spotlights are perfectly withstanding the temperature differences and harsh weather conditions - such lighting devices will be perfectly "feeling" in raw rooms with elevated moisture levels and in unheated rooms where full lighting is required.

Choosing a suitable lamp for a searchlight, pay attention to its power and compliance with the base of the lighting element of the baselight itself. In the catalog of our online store, LED and fluorescent lamps are presented, which can be chosen for any searchlight model. LED lighting elements are most preferred, since they have an energy-saving effect and even with active use will allow you to save on payment of utilities for electricity. In addition, LED matrices do not contain mercury substances, therefore are considered a safe and environmentally friendly source of light, which is especially important when building residential premises.

All presented models are simple enough to install and replacing a lamp for street lighting projectors suitable for most cartridges used in modern spotlight models.

It will be about replacing one of the varieties of halogen light bulbs (people called degrees) used in spotlights to the LED analogue. From the infinite set of goods on the site this earlier did not overlook. I will try to fill this drawback.
Replacing halogen lamps in the spotlight, there is also such: I will tell you about fashionable LED counterparts. I successfully use one such copy since last year. Recently finding the reinforcement (the spotlight itself) acquired more. Initially, the searchlight from 150 W light bulb looked like this:

Who has the same know that the lamps are "thermometers" often burn out, because they gathered not enough. The difficulty creates not so much the lamp itself as its replacement. For it requires the installation of a staircase and disassembly of the body, and the weather is different ... Therefore, such a stock was accumulated:
The replacement was 78 mm LED light bulbs with a capacity of 5 W, a warm spectrum, with a driver excluding adjustment, with 24 LEDs 5730. It cost me a discount of $ 4.90 per piece, with a lot of LEDs did not take it, for the brightness increases not significantly, but The probability of overheating increases. However, this opinion is private and subjective.



Light bulbs of this type are relatively expensive, but made qualitatively. Two screws turned into two screws and removing the side walls, prevent the tradition of inside. Get fully not allowed wires. The transformer and electrolytic condenser clearly seen. The base, aluminum frame from the profile, on the side of the plastic walls with contact and slots for ventilation, inside the scheme in the film, the wires are all silicone. Boards with diodes are cooled on an aluminum frame.


Of course, the light-status with a halogen lamp is not coming in comparison! At the same time, 30 multiple differences in lighting, as in the power consumable, is also not observed. The LED searchlight successfully illuminates from 2.5 meter height area of \u200b\u200babout 4 meters in front of him. At the same time, the role of the reflector is more aesthetics. The light who knows from LEDs is a specific, but this is enough for me!



Separately, I note that a plus of such a modernization of the searchlight is:
- a significant reduction in electricity consumption (now it becomes relevant)
- Durability
- the safety of the glass spotlight, not rare cases of their cracking from heat
- constancy of brightness, regardless of the voltage on the network (85-265 V). When used with a motion sensor, such lamps do not apply! They will flash from time to time. Choose similar, but with a dimer. They will not have such a lack, but stand just more expensive.
There is also a replacement of larger halogens: 500 W - 118 mm and 1 kW - 187 mm
The disadvantage is one: the replacement is not equal in brightness. But not rare cases when the LED lighting is enough.
Conduct measurements of the true power of consumption and light flux, unfortunately there is no possibility.
The seller sent the goods on the second day. Delivery was China's mail less than 2 weeks. Now it is difficult to surprise such deadlines ...
Thanks for attention!

I plan to buy +24. Add to favourites I liked the review +25 +51
