How to Choose the Appropriate Pixel Pitch for an LED Screen?

When we talk about LED screens, it is inevitable for us to come across an essential concept “pixel pitch”. Pixel pitch does matter to an LED screen, but how? And how to choose the appropriate pixel pitch for an LED screen? This article will give you some guidelines to make it out. What is pixel pitch? Why is it important? As we all know, LED displays adopt LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as pixels to play images and videos. Generally speaking one LED light can be defined as one pixel for an LED display. As its name implies, pixel pitch is the…

What problem does the LED power supply need to solve?

In the current lighting market, LED drive power is gradually accepted by people due to its low power consumption, low heat generation, and long lifespan. LED drive has become more and more important in the market. In LED lighting, the most important thing is dimming and thermal balance. How to solve these problems is the problem to be solved by the current LED power supply. With the solution of this problem, the concept of “LED drive” is gradually put forward. For constant current LED drive, it can maintain a constant current within a certain voltage range. This avoids the interference…

The benefits of smart lighting in life

1.Using smart lighting to dimming can maximize energy saving The lighting is artificial lighting, which provides sufficient illuminance at night or occasions with insufficient natural light. But lighting consumes power. When not needed, turning off the lights can save energy. In many public places or buildings, it is not advisable to turn off all the lights at night. The dimming drive power supply can maintain proper lighting, which not only facilitates the convenience and safety of night work or travellers, but also maximizes energy saving. 2.Easy to manage and maintain Intelligent dimming can achieve precise centralized control and unified management…

What Type of LED Driver or Power Supply Do I Need?

There are several different kinds of external dimmable LED drivers, but they can be broken down into two main types in the market: constant current (CC) drivers and constant voltage (CV) drivers. SMARTS manufacture Selectable Multi-current LED drivers from 10w to 60w, current from 100ma to 2100ma costant current power supply, and 6w to 360w led drivers. Depending on the application, LEDs can be connected in series and/or parallel configurations. Obviously, when LEDs are connected in series the forward voltage drop of each LED in the string are additive. For example, if you put 10 LEDs in series and each…

How to choose solar led light

More and more solar led lights are used in our life,However, in market,there are too many similar solar light. The quality is quite different under the same appearance.So, choose high quality solar light is very important. Below list the attention part 1. Pay attention to solar led light’s Power Before purchase it. We need to know our install place and lighting space, then, choose the currently power(wattage) When purchasing,not only attention to the quality of the floodl ight, but also the overall configuration. Including the peak wattage of photovoltaic modules, the capacity of lithium batteries and the stable performance of led flood…

How to customize cannabis lighting spectrum

The controllability of LED plant growth lamp for the light filling process of cannabis cultivation and the artificial control of temperature and humidity in greenhouses enable cannabis plants to get further human intervention. With so many different LED spectrums on the market it gets concerning for a large farm with a variety of species whether or not that LED grow light is right for them. Different spectra are required for different growth stages of the same plant, so we have developed and designed a variety of spectra. 1.Blue light promoted the rooting of hemp cuttings, shortened seedling time, increased adventitious root occurrence…

Can you put a 100 watt LED in a 60 Watt fixture?

When it comes to replacing old incandescent bulbs with LEDs, a common question that customers ask is: “Can I use an LED bulb that has a higher wattage equivalent than my fixture allows?” The simple answer is yes, as long as the LED bulb uses less wattage than your fixture. When you see a label say “100Watt LED driver equivalent” that does not mean that the bulb actually uses 100 Watts, it means that it produces an amount of light equivalent to a 100-Watt incandescent bulb. If your socket says not to exceed 60-Watts, it is referring the dangers of…

WHAT does the TA and TC means for your LED driver?

In the electronic component manual, Ta refers to the ambient temperature and Tc refers to the surface temperature of the component. LED driver and power supply are gave the ambient temperature of the driver use and the upper limit of the surface temperature of the outer casing for the user to select the appropriate use environment. click for more information^_^ It is an innate property of the product itself, and it has nothing to do with whether it affects heat dissipation. Can be marked to indicate that the product is managed by quality standards. Hence as a ETL qualified manufacturer,…

What is a Class 2 power supply?

Generally speaking, class 2 standard is for North American market using, class II is for European market using. Both of them are important standard for safety of the power supply and the user. Here I would like to make a brief introduction for the driver power supply with class 2 standard. The class 2 here refers to the power performance and wiring requirements. When you find a power supply with a label marked class 2, then it means that it must meet the standards laid out by The National Electric Code. To avoid risk of shock or fire, the wiring and power…

Eight tips to improve the efficiency of LED power supply

1. The main current loop PCB should be as short as possible.   LAYPCB experience, and layout, this is nothing, the quick way is to look at the works of big factories.   2. Optimize the design of 300w LED transformer parameters to reduce eddy current loss caused by ringing.   This is more difficult. First, you must master the basic knowledge of electromagnetics and design a reasonable transformer. The most important thing is patience. Even if you think of improving the efficiency by 0.5%, you must try.   3. Reasonably select switching devices.   This is the balance between cost and performance. What kind of…
