There are many types of underwater lights, how to choose the one that suits you？
In fact, there are many types of underwater lights, and it is inevitable that you will choose the wrong one. Next, let me tell you what factors should we pay attention to and choose the right underwater light?
Whether the underwater light can work normally, there are two important factors: waterproof and heat dissipation.
一. Waterproof Level
The first point we should pay attention to is the waterproof level. Not all lamps can be used as underwater lamps. Let's look at the dust-proof and waterproof performance of a lamp. It mainly depends on the two digits XX at the back of IPXX.
The first X is the dust-proof level from 0 to 6, the highest level is 6;
The second place X is the waterproof level from 0 to 8, the highest level is 8;
And IP68 is the highest level of dust-proof and waterproof grade standards. When purchasing an underwater light, the first thing is to check whether its waterproof level meets the standard.
In terms of waterproof technology, full-fill glue is one of the common waterproof processes in the manufacture of underwater lights. Under the protection of the glue, it provides a better waterproof effect.
However, this kind of process is a double-edged sword, because the epoxy resin is prone to chemical reactions under the high temperature environment to make the lamp surface yellow, which affects the luminous effect, and it also leads to insufficient heat dissipation due to its air-tightness.
Therefore, it is a good choice for ordinary swimming pools to choose this type of swimming pool, and it is best to choose lamps with high temperature resistance for hot spring pools and high temperature pools.
二. Heat Dissipation Process
We are talking about the heat dissipation of underwater lights.
Generally speaking, aluminum substrates are used inside lamps to enhance their heat dissipation performance. The higher the thickness of the aluminum substrate, the stronger the heat dissipation capacity.
For some small lamps, when using high-power lamp beads, the use of aluminum substrates for heat dissipation may not be enough. In order to provide stronger heat dissipation capabilities, copper substrates can also be used as heat sinks, which have better heat dissipation than aluminum substrates. Strong, but the price will be higher.
In addition, the heat dissipation of the luminaire is also related to the contact relationship between the luminaire and the ground. In order to improve the heat dissipation performance, some high-temperature swimming pool lights will use a more complex mold structure to increase the contact area with the ground and improve the heat dissipation effect to avoid excessively high operating temperature. Burn out the lamps.
For consumers with weak professional knowledge, the easiest way is to directly consult professional MITE business personnel.
What scenario is it used for? What kind of swimming pool is it used for? Monochrome lamps or RGB? What kind of control do you want? MITE Sales staff can always give you the most satisfactory answer.
