提防LED十萬小時使用壽命之說- LED vs Cold Cathode 每次看到有關LED的報道,總會注明它有十萬小時的壽命,這意味你安裝它後便可安枕無憂地連續可使用超過11年了,這般通用的聲言就讓不少人習慣性地接受這是無可非議的事實。 但事實並非如此… 一顆抗UV環氧樹脂5mm LED 二極管燈在全電流和高溫下工作,在一千小時內它的光輸出將會縮減一半... 在建築照明的應用上,工程維護和能源成本為最關鍵的因素,因此使用冷陰極管仍是最理想的選擇。 讓我們以典型的白色LED與直徑25mm暖白色冷極管在常規照明應用的情況下做個比較, 下圖即為我們展示實驗得出的二者的表現。

LED標榜其專業燈光應用,但並不一定是所有燈光照明的最佳答案。當你分析LED的技術規格或說明書時,你會發現,沒有寫明的東西比寫明的東西更為重要,一定要好好考慮清楚! 冷陰極管已是很成熟和被技術得到證實有很多優點的產品, 因此當我們把所有關鍵問題都整合在一起考慮,並需要在兩者間做個選擇的話,很明顯地,冷陰極管仍然能提供比LED更多的好處。 注:本文借鑒 Dan Watt先生相關觀點和言論 LED vs. Cold Cathode - Beware of the 100,000 hour LED myth Every time you see anything regarding LEDs, it is always stated that they have a 100,000 hour life expectancy. This implies that you can just install them and forget about them for more than 11 years of continuous use. This claim is so common that most people have come to accept it as hard fact. |
LEDs are here to stay for specialty lighting applications, but are not necessarily the best answer to most lighting needs. When looking at a data sheet or specifications for LEDs, what is left out can be more important than what is put in. Do your homework carefully. Source: Dan Watts

冷陰極管與LED用於燈槽的比較, 作者:Luc Steegmans |
LED在這幾年間被應用於很多領域和項目中,它無疑是槽型字、廣告牌、家具裝飾、自動售賣機以至扶手電梯裝飾等之最佳光源,但這些對光的強度和色彩渲染的要求都不大,然而這兩點卻為暗槽燈/天花照明(Cove Lighting) 所產生的氛圍環境的燈光效果之關鍵因素。 暗槽燈的燈光應該是高亮光且介乎在色溫2400K 至 3000K之間。若使用冷陰極管,能產生甚至超過燈管本身長度的高亮光。由於光線均勻分布於燈管表面每處,將不會有任何黑點出現在燈光所照附近。所以如果使冷極管貼合天花的話,整個天花會被很均勻地照亮;如果想效果更佳,你可在暗槽內塗上金漆,這反射的燈光會使裝飾效果更金壁輝煌。 然而,以LED本身的條件是很難應用於天花照明的。或者換句話來說,問題在於LED光源與天花之間的距離太近,而LED本身是點光源的緣故,它的光在不足夠的距離下很難平均分布於天花的表面。LED本身是帶方向性的細小點光源(即局部光源),有任何物體處於光源與牆壁之間,都會產生黑影投射到牆壁上。當然人們可以每米增加更多更密集的LED燈珠,但也是不能完全解決黑影的問題。從節能的角度來說,要達到同樣亮度的話,冷極管是比LED要更勝一籌。 再者,色溫,尤其是在2400K至3000K之間的色溫,LED是很難達到的。人們應該要認識到的是,所謂的某一色溫是分列在色譜上某特定的范圍內的不同位置都能得出的數值,都可以被稱為同一色溫,但其實所謂的同一色溫不是一定給人同樣的感覺。 最後關於保養維護方面,根據30年來的實踐經驗證明,作為天花暗槽燈照明光源的冷陰極管可以在極少的維護下維持使用很長時間,10年不間斷的工作運行也是很普通正常的。但LED的真實平均使用壽命,那就只有未來才能知道了。 雖然它被應用在裝飾照明方面才不過四年左右的時間但已出現很多顯著的失敗事故, 這大概是因為暗槽內的高溫對LED的穩定性造成影響。在不能降溫的情況下工作對LED來說是非常不利的,而冷陰極管就不會受高溫影響。 如果暗槽天花照明是你房間的主要光源的話,就要注意燈光的充足亮度,合適的色溫以及最少的維護保養,在這種情況下,冷陰極管毫無疑問比LED更勝一籌。 注:本文借鑒Luc Steegmans樂思迪文先生相關觀點和言論 |
Cold cathode lighting vs led lighting with coves- by Luc Steegmans In recent years leds have been successfully used in many applications. It has been a suitable solution from channel letters, decorative lighting inside furniture, soft drink vending machines to escalators. Cove light should be intense, and the color should be between 2400°K to 3000°K.? With cold cathode lighting a very intense light can be generated, completely even over the length of the tube(s).? Because the light is evenly generated on every part of the tube surface there won’t be any dark spots on the nearby ceiling so if the tubes were well tailored the ceiling will be illuminated evenly. Light that is not directly projected on the ceiling will be reflected by the cove which gives another possibility to add some impression of gold light by painting the inside of the cove in gold. With the actual state of development of led it is difficult to have evenly illuminated coves, as these are usually shallow and near the ceiling, in other words there is not enough distance to spread the light from the bright light spots into an evenly illuminated surface.? The light from leds is by definition directional light, generated in a tiny point, and any object that will be in between the light source and the wall will result in a dark shadow on the wall or ceiling.? Of course one can increase the number of led modules per meter, but this will not completely remedy dark spots. Also, in terms of energy, for a similar light intensity from cove lighting cold cathode outperforms led. Color temperature, especially in the 2400°K to 3000°K range is very difficult to achieve with leds. One should realize that for a given color temperature there can be various spots in the color triangle that correspond with that figure but these do not necessarily create the same feeling. This is much more under control with cold cathode lighting. Lastly, in terms of maintenance, more than 30 years of experience have proven that cove lighting with cold cathode can last many years with minimal maintenance. 10 years of 24/7 operation is rather common. With led only the future will tell us what the real life expectancy is. Though in this kind of application led is only used since about four years we can only notice the failures. If cove lighting is the main light source in a room then it is necessary to have enough light, with the right color temperature and with little maintenance. At this moment cold cathode lighting can deliver that, rather than led. Source: Luc Steegmans |
