Experts tell you the difference between fiber light and LED lighting

Fiber optic lighting is the most popular lighting solution in recent years. It is an emerging way of lighting. As the optical fiber itself has some unique physical characteristics, fiber light is used in interior lighting, partial lighting effects, billboard, building outdoor lighting guiding public areas, indoor and outdoor lighting and underwater contours and facades of buildings among lighting, and has achieved good lighting effects. Fiber optic lighting system is composed of the light source, mirrors, filters and optical components.

On the way of the light loss, so the light source is generally very strong. Common light source is about 150 ~ 250W. And in order to approximate a parallel beam, the light emitting point should be as small as possible, similar to a point light source. Is the ability to obtain an approximate mirror parallel beam of important factors? Therefore, the general use of non-spherical mirror is popular. Filter is to change the color of the beam parts.

If necessary, a different color filter exchange to get the corresponding colored light sources. Fiber light systems are the subject of the role of the optical transmission or emission of light to a predetermined place. Fiber is divided into two kinds of side glow and emits light. The former is to spread the beam end, through the tail for lighting, which itself is a light body to form a flexible beam. In terms of fiber material, which must be in the visible range, the minimum loss of light energy should be to ensure that the quality of lighting. But in fact impossible without loss, so optical fiber transmission distance of about 30m or so for the best.

Because fiber-optic lighting and LED lighting have fundamentally different, the performance results are different. Although fiber optic lighting in the lighting industry is now the market share is not too much weight, but it is proportional to the acceleration of growth. According to the characteristics of fiber optic lighting, fiber light sales market mainly exposed decorative lighting, entertainment lighting, art lighting and special lighting.

LED is a new light source. With the current trends and the concept of green lighting, LED lamps are poplar in recent years, more and more types of product development, market share is growing. However, due to high-power LED technology is not mature, and the cost of white LED can not effectively come down, so LED lamps in the lighting field can not be effectively expanded.
