[Discussion] The shortcomings of the built-in power supply of LED fluorescent lamps and the seriousness of the problem

The LED fluorescent lamp adopts CREE and AOD super bright LED white light as the light source, and the outer casing is acrylic/aluminum alloy (customer defined). The cover can be made of PC tube and has a high temperature resistance of 135 degrees. LED fluorescent lamps and traditional fluorescent lamps are the same in size and size. They are 60cm, 120cm and 150cm in length, and their power is 10W, 16W and 20W respectively. The actual power consumption of 20W traditional fluorescent lamps (inductive ballasts) is about 53W. The 40W traditional fluorescent lamp (inductive ballast) actually consumes about 68W.

At present, almost all of the LED fluorescent lamps on the market are built-in. The so-called built-in means that the power supply can be placed inside the lamp. The biggest advantage of this built-in type is that it can be used to directly replace existing fluorescent tubes without any modification to the original circuit. Therefore, the shape of the built-in power supply is usually made into a strip shape so as to be inserted into a semicircular tube. There are two types of built-in power supplies, one is non-isolated (Figure 1) and the other is isolated (Figure 2).

Non-isolated means that there is a direct connection between the LED load terminal and the 220V input terminal, so there is a danger of electric shock due to the touch load. There is only a very thin insulation layer of the aluminum substrate between the 220V and the aluminum case, which is usually not easily CE and UL certified.

Isolated means that there is isolation transformer isolation at the input and output. This transformer may be either power frequency or high frequency. But both can isolate the input and output. You can avoid the risk of electric shock. It is also easy to pass CE or UL certification.

First, the power consumption of the built-in power LED fluorescent lamp

The biggest advantage of using a built-in power supply is that it can directly replace existing fluorescent lamps without any changes to the original wiring. So is this built-in advantage also cost a certain price? This is true, and the price is not small. This starts with the ballast structure of ordinary fluorescent lamps:

We know that the most common fluorescent lamps use a series of core inductors and a parallel starter (Figure 3a). For such a circuit to be directly replaced with an LED fluorescent lamp, it is only necessary to remove the starter. However, since the core inductor is still connected in series in the circuit, it still brings losses of nearly 6.4W (Philip) to 10W (domestic), and as a result, the additional loss of this part greatly reduces the power saving effect of the LED. For example, a 20W LED fluorescent lamp can replace a 36W fluorescent lamp, and the built-in non-isolated 20W LED fluorescent lamp is taken as an example. The measured results are as follows.

  • These lights look like many beautiful fire flies, and the copper wire is extra flexible, You can decorate teenager or girls 's rooms to enjoy ambience of relaxing, decorate your wedding to memorize your important and romantic moment, decorate it in restaurant or shop, create welcome feeling, customers will be attracted by the twinkle String Lights,walk into shop or restaurant, stay longer, enjoy their commodity or food and love your shop or restaurant.
  • You can also decorate your party to feel more joyful, decorate holidays and Christmas to enjoy happy times.With extra flexible copper wire, you can put these led starry string lights in the glass jar,vase, or you can easily bend and shape it around wreaths, trees, flowers, and almost everything else.
