Things You Should Know Before Installing Yard Lights To Avoid Blunder

 


You need strong lighting in your outdoors, but pole lights would be a stretch? Well, then you need LED yard lights, also known as dusk to dawn lights. 

LED yard lights render bright illumination as well as are compact in size. LED dusk to dawn lights are “illumination on autopilot.” They are a perfect choice for outdoor lighting in commercial, residential, and industrial settings. They are perfect choices for Barns, driveways, sheds, yards, and garages.

LEDs have an amazing energy efficiency. LED yard lights These lights are also appropriate for retrofitting your old yard light fixtures. 

They are sometimes also known as LED security lights, as they are bright enough to keep the intruders at bay. 



Working Of Photocell?

These lights are equipped with a small photocell that measures the level of current ambient light. Based on the amount of light, it uses a semiconductor to control the electric current within. 
When the photocell receives a certain amount of light, it stops the current flow, and switches off. As the sun goes down, the current stops and the light switch on. 
While positioning these fixtures, one should make sure that when you place the dusk to dawn light, it should be not be exposed to the light from other fixtures. 

QUALITY TESTING

Many retailers do not consider checking the quality of all the products they have. There are many certifications to attest to the quality and working of the product. Here are some of them;

UL (Underwriter Laboratories, the largest independent safety company in the world) 
UL listed fixtures are tested for fires, shocks, and any other surprises, just to make sure that they are safe from most of the possible dangers.

ETL (Electronic Testing Labs) testing also covers all the standards that UL does, as both of them are Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories.

DLC (DesignLights Consortium®) only tests commercial lighting, and they test for energy efficiency, light output, light depreciation, color rendering, and warranty validity.

LED Tubes: Advantages of LED T8 Light Solutions

Since the launch of LED technology,  The new generation of T8 LED tubes delivers optimum brightness at low power consumption. These tubes are divided into three types. Type A: Ballast Compatible Type B: Not compatible with the ballast  Type A + B: Can work with or without the help of ballast The ballast section controls energy distribution to ensure that the required voltage, current, and waveform are present when a traditional light source like the fluorescent tubes or HID lamps is turned on and operated.  T8 LED bulbs do not require this additional electricity consumption; therefore, eliminating the ballast saves you energy right away because you aren't wasting energy to ballast draw. Each modified fixture uses a few watts less without a ballast. T8 retrofits assist the older fixtures by using the ballast feature to control power consumption and distribute uniform brightness. Usually, the use of ballast has lowered down, giving way to new generation T8 LED tubes. ...
