Common types
There are many types of marine incandescent lamps, mainly including bedside lamps, ceiling lamps, cargo hold lamps, portable lamps, work lamps, wall lamps and chandeliers, etc. These lamps are designed according to different ship needs and are suitable for various types of ships such as fishing boats, cargo ships, cruise ships, etc.
What are the special features of marine incandescent lamps compared to ordinary incandescent lamps?
Marine incandescent lamps are designed for offshore environments and are waterproof, corrosion-resistant and durable. They usually use special materials and structures to cope with the harsh climatic conditions and environment at sea. In addition, marine incandescent lamps have a wide spectrum range and can provide stable lighting in various weather conditions.
Is it illegal to buy incandescent lamps?
In the United States, the sale and manufacture of traditional incandescent bulbs have been banned since August 1, 2023, but incandescent bulbs for certain specific purposes are still legally sold, such as appliance lights, black lights, insect lights, color lights, infrared lights, plant lights, floodlights, reflector lights, display lights, and traffic lights. Consumers can continue to use existing incandescent bulbs, but the options for new purchases will be limited.
What are the main problems with incandescent bulbs?
The main problem with incandescent lamps is their low energy efficiency. Only about 10% of the energy is converted into light, and the remaining 90% is lost as heat. This not only leads to energy waste, but also increases the cost of use. In addition, incandescent lamps have a short lifespan, usually only about 1,000 hours.
Why do people replace incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs?
People choose to replace incandescent lamps with LED lamps mainly because LED lamps have higher energy efficiency and longer life. LED lamps can produce 75 lumens or more per watt, while incandescent lamps can only produce 15 lumens per watt. In addition, the service life of LED lamps can reach 30,000 to 50,000 hours, which is much longer than incandescent lamps.
What is the difference between LED lamps and incandescent lamps?
The main differences between LED lamps and incandescent lamps are energy efficiency and lifespan. LED lamps are highly energy efficient, with a luminous efficiency of up to 160 lumens per watt and a lifespan of up to 80,000 hours. Incandescent lamps are less energy efficient and have a shorter lifespan. In addition, LED lamps are more flexible in design and can be adapted to lamps of various shapes and sizes, while incandescent lamps are limited by their traditional design. LED lamps also have better spectral control capabilities and can provide higher quality white light.
