Are LED lamps and LED sources the same?

Many people think that LED lamps and LED light sources are the same thing, the two are the same. But it's not really the case. There are a lot of differences between them, so we can't confuse them.

LED luminaires, also known as LED luminaires, include all the components needed to secure and protect the LED light source, as well as the line accessories necessary to connect to the power supply, except for the LED light source; LED light sources are light sources that use light-emitting diodes as illuminants.

LED light source is evaluated by "light effect", while LED light fixture is evaluated by "efficiency". At the same time, LED light source efficacy and LED lamp efficiency both indicate the efficiency of converting electrical energy into light energy, which is a measure of the energy efficiency of lighting fixtures. standard.

If it is a light source, there is no special enclosure protection level or IP20. However, for luminaires, indoor luminaires should have an enclosure rating of at least IP20, while road luminaires should have an enclosure rating of at least IPX3.

The electric power consumed by the LED light source refers only to the power consumed by the LED module, and does not include the power consumed by the LED control device. The electric power consumed by the LED luminaire refers to the input power of the luminaire, including not only the electric power consumed by the LED light source, but also the power consumed by the LED control device.

In summary, we can easily see that the LED luminaire and the LED light source are completely different concepts. In many respects, there are also great differences. We must not confuse them.
