Traditional metal halide high bay lamp VS LED high bay light
1. Heat
Traditional metal halide high bay lamp generate a lot of heat during operation. Basically, all traditional light sources have the disadvantage of high temperature, and the lamp temperature can reach 200 to 300 degrees.
The LED itself is a cold light source and the bulb temperature is low and safe. It is worth mentioning that LED lighting is constantly innovating, and the rational design of the new Fin Aluminum heat sink is more conducive to heat dissipation, which greatly reduces the weight of high-bay lights and perfectly solves the problem of high-power LED lighting.
2. Wide voltage adjustment range
Traditional metal halide high bay lamp are lit by the high voltage discharged by the rectifier and cannot light up when the voltage drops. Because it uses AC power, it generates 100-120 flashes per second.
LED high bay light is a direct conversion from AC to DC, it can be lit within a certain voltage range, you can also adjust the brightness. The lights will not flicker and protect the eyes. The 6000K cold light offers a cool visual experience that helps focus and increase efficiency.
3. Life
The lifetime of traditional metal halide high bay lamp ranges from 3000 to 5000 hours. For each start, the filament is affected by a high voltage and the starting current is 2 to 3 times the normal current. Each activation speeds up the consumption of electron-emitting material on the filament, lamp life will be completed when the filament of the electron-emitting material is exhausted;
LED lights are called longevity lights. Its light source is a solid cold light source and is encapsulated by epoxy. There is no loose part of the lamp body, there is no filament light, non-flammable, thermal deposition and other shortcomings, the service life of up to 50,000 hours, 10 times longer than traditional light sources.
4. Health
Ordinary light bulbs, including Traditional metal halide high bay lamp, contain mercury, lead and other harmful elements, and dozens of traditional metal halide high bay lamp contain mercury that contaminates the entire small lake. In addition, when it emits light, it emits ultraviolet rays and infrared rays, attracts many mosquitoes around the light source, generates a lot of heat, makes the air dry, and many conventional lamps equipped with ballasts also generate electromagnetic interference.
LED high bay lamp does not contain mercury, lead and other pollution elements, is conducive to recycling, there is no radiation, and does not produce electromagnetic interference. It uses low-voltage internal drive, current is small, stable, less heat, cold light source, safe touch, light will not produce noise, LED high-bay lamp has no radiation, protect people’s eyes and health, which is a typical green light source.
5. Energy saving
Because LED high-bay lighting has high luminous efficiency, and more energy-saving。For example, 100W LED high bay light can replace the traditional 250W traditional metal halide high bay light, the average illumination will not be reduced at all.
Taking 100 lamps as an example, the average daily use time is 10 hours. In China, electricity costs 1 RMB/degree.
100W LED high bay light costs 100 RMB per day.
250W Traditional metal halide high bay light costs 250 RMB per day.
The use of a 100 watt LED high bay light instead of 250 watts of traditional metal halide high bay light can save electricity costs by 4,500 RMB per month, saving electricity costs by 54,000 RMB per year.
