The performance characteristics and basic functions of marine lighting fixtures.
May 23,2019
In recent years, the domestic industry has been in a period of rapid development, with growth in various aspects of people's lives. Marine lighting fixtures are favored by many users due to their strong seismic resistance and low power consumption. So, do you know what the performance advantages of marine lighting fixtures are? What characteristics do they possess? Let's take a detailed look at the "performance characteristics and basic functions of marine lighting fixtures."

[Advantages of Marine Lighting Fixtures: LED Lighting]
1. High luminous efficiency and low power consumption, energy-saving.
The power of a single LED lamp generally ranges from 0.05 to 1W, and through clustering, it can meet different needs with very little waste. LEDs use direct current drive, have high luminous efficiency, and consume very little power. Compared to incandescent lamps, their energy consumption is only 10%, and for fluorescent lamps, it is 50%. Using LED lighting can save a significant amount of lighting energy.

2. Strong seismic resistance and long service life.
LEDs are small in size and light in weight, with an epoxy resin encapsulation that is resistant to seawater corrosion and has strong seismic resistance. This not only protects the internal chips but also has the ability to focus light. As long as a suitable fixed structure for marine use is designed, there is no need to design additional explosion-proof lampshades, making the structure simpler and lighter. The service life of the light source generally ranges from 50,000 to 100,000 hours.
3. Environmentally friendly and high safety.
LED lighting fixtures convert alternating current directly into direct current, with a low working voltage, mostly between 1.4 and 3V; the working current is only 10mA, and even the ultra-bright ones are only about 1A.
LEDs do not contain harmful gases, nor do they contain lead, mercury, or other heavy metals; they do not require gas filling or glass shells, have good impact resistance, and are not easily broken; there is no infrared or ultraviolet radiation in the spectrum, and good LED lighting can achieve no flicker; they are recyclable, generate low heat, and do not pollute the environment; at night, there are no mosquitoes around the lamp, making the lighting environment cleaner and tidier, earning the title of "green energy."
4. High luminous efficiency and high fixture efficiency.
The luminous efficiency of incandescent and halogen lamps is 12-24lm/W (lumens/watt), fluorescent lamps have a luminous efficiency of 50-80lm/W, and sodium lamps have a luminous efficiency of 90-140lm/W, with most of the power consumption turning into heat loss. In contrast, the luminous efficiency of LEDs can reach 50-200lm/W after improvement, and they have good monochromaticity and narrow spectrum, emitting colored visible light directly without the need for filtering.
Traditional fluorescent lamps emit light in a 360° angle, with backward light being useless, and typically have a fixture efficiency of only 70%. In contrast, LED fixtures usually have a light emission angle of 120°, which can be adjusted according to needs, resulting in higher efficiency than traditional fixtures.
5. No noise, no radiation.
Qualified LED fixtures produce no noise, making them more suitable for workspaces that require high concentration, such as the cockpit and chart room, as well as crew rest areas. Traditional fixtures use alternating current, which can cause flicker at 100-120Hz. High-quality LED fixtures convert alternating current directly into direct current, eliminating flicker and producing very low radiation.
6. Rich colors, providing a comfortable living environment for tourists and crew.
Different color temperatures of light can give people different feelings. Light with a color temperature below 3300K appears warm and red; light with a color temperature between 3000-6000K feels refreshing. The selectable color temperature range of LEDs reaches from 2000 to 9000K, providing a very good lighting environment and rich lighting colors for cruise ships.

[What are the advantages of marine lighting fixtures?]
First, strong seismic resistance.
Marine lighting fixtures have a good encapsulation structure that is not easy to fall off, allowing them to withstand the strong vibrations on board for long-term use. In addition to the unique structure of marine lighting fixtures that can withstand the unstable and strong vibrations on ships, the epoxy resin material used in the fixtures also has strong seismic resistance. As long as a suitable fixed structure for marine use is designed, it can ensure smooth operation in relatively vibrating environments on ships.
Second, comprehensive functionality.
Marine lighting fixtures can create different lighting effects according to the requirements of different onboard environments due to their rich color temperatures, meeting the various needs of crew members during use. Soft light can effectively alleviate fatigue and tension during navigation, and installing them in cabins or bedrooms can improve sleep quality. Additionally, marine lighting fixtures can also serve as signal lights to convey different messages, providing effective navigation guidance for crew members during voyages.
Third, environmentally friendly and high safety.
Marine lighting fixtures are extremely safe during use, as they use LED light sources that do not break or emit toxic substances. The encapsulation is effective, preventing leakage or damage due to moisture. Moreover, marine lighting fixtures produce no noise and no radiation during use, ensuring that they do not affect physical and mental health.
