Experts Teach you to Use and Maintain Lighting

Want to know the safe use of lamps and extend the life of the lamp? The Council reminded the experts in Fujian Province, in the use of lighting, we should note the following.

First of all, buy lamps, first do not just install the lamp should be carefully read and read the installation manual marking in accordance with the provisions of the instructions to install, use lamps, or they may be dangerous.

Next, click the logo to provide timely replacement of aging light source parameters of the lamp, both ends of that red lamp, lamp black or dark shadows, jump off the lamp, the lamp should be replaced, prevent ballast Burn and other insecurity.

Again, in the cleaning and maintenance should be careful not to change the lighting of the structure, and do not easily replace the lamp parts, after the end of the cleaning and maintenance, as is the lighting should be installed, not to leave, the wrong lighting components installed.

Finally, the lamps in use must also strengthen the maintenance, to prolong its life. To note the following specific points: the room lamp should always wipe with a dry cloth, and to guard against moisture intrusion, corrosion occurred a long time in order to avoid damage or leakage phenomenon of short circuit; installed in the toilet, bathroom lights shall be fitted with moisture-proof lamp, Otherwise it will greatly reduce the service life; installed lights in the kitchen, special attention should be anti-smoke, because the accumulation of grease will affect the light illumination; a light shade of light transmission is good, but easy to stick ash, to be diligent cleaning, So as not to affect the light penetration; light if non-metallic, can be used wet wipe, to prevent dust accumulation, prevent lighting effects.

In addition, experts also advise not to use lights to make frequent switches, because the lighting in the frequent launch of the moment, the current through the filament is greater than the current normal working hours, making the filament temperature increases dramatically accelerate sublimation, which will greatly reduce its Life, so to minimize the light switch.

How to Reduce Maintenance and Energy Costs

A further measure to reduce energy consumption would be to de-lamp the T8 option from four to three lamps per fixture. This would produce approximately 44maintained foot candles, and decrease energy costs by an additional 10 percent. There would also be additional material and labor savings due to the fewer number of lamps.

Green Lights is an exciting and innovative program sponsored by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages major US corporations and other organizations to install energy-efficient lighting technologies.

Lights will profit by lowering their electricity bills, improving lighting quality, and increasing worker productivity. They will also reduce the air pollution caused by electricity generation.

Lighting Maintenance is one of a series of documents known collectively as the Lighting Upgrade Manual. All lighting systems experience deterioration of performance during operation and therefore require ongoing maintenance conducted either by properly trained in-house staff or an outsourced lighting management company. As the useful light distributed by the lighting system decreases, wattage remains the same, resulting in waste.

In many buildings, lighting systems are maintained in a reactive rather than a proactive manner. As lamps fail, a service request is registered and the maintenance department can schedule the replacement with its other priorities. Defective components such as failed ballasts and broken lamp holders are only replaced when they cause the fixture to malfunction. And fixtures are rarely cleaned, although dirt and dust buildup is absorbing useful light rather than distributing it.

Considering the waste in labor and energy costs involved, it’s generally advisable to consider a planned lighting maintenance program during the planning of the lighting system.

Planned lighting maintenance is the practice of organizing labor and resources to ensure consistent recommended light levels and the most economical use of the lighting system. It tunes the lighting system and optimizes performance.

At last, experts also advise not to use lights to make frequent switches, because the lighting in the frequent launch of the moment, the current through the filament is greater than the current normal working hours, making the filament temperature increases dramatically accelerate sublimation, which will greatly reduce its Life, so to minimize the light switch.
