Many clients has the doubt why the swimming pool lights price so big difference while the appearance looks the same? What’s make the price so big difference ? this article will tell you something from the underwater lights core components.
1. LED chips
Now LED technology is more and more mature, and the price is more and more transparent,but for the LED specification we always emphasize same wattage we have to choose the higher lumen outdoor pool lighting,it’s brighter,more energy saving and cheaper.
2.Material
In pool lighting material,the common material is glass,ABS and stainless steel. Glass is fragile,so the swimming pool lights idea with glass material will be much more cheaper,but easy to crack.
Pool lighting ideas with ABS material is the most cost-effective and most hot selling in Europe,it’s affordable and durable,but the wattage is limited because of the ABS heat dissipation problem.
Underwater pool lighting with Stainless steel material,of course,the cost is higher,but it’s popular to many clients because of the metallic property and good heat dissipation and the power can be made higher than the glass and ABS.
3.Power driving
This is the most important part to make the pool lighting price different and also the most easily overlooked by consumers.the most common power driving type in the market are :
constant current power supply drive,linear constant current power supply and constant voltage power supply drive.
constant current power supply drive :
pool lighting efficiency more than 90%,equipped with open circuit, short circuit, over-current protection and over-temperature control circuit,ensure that the LED constant current work, will not affect the damage of the lamp due to fluctuations in the input voltage,this driver is the most expensive one.
Linear constant current power supply: IC easy to get hot and it’s affect the output current constant, increase power consumption, efficiency is very low (efficiency about 60%), there is no protection circuit, input voltage fluctuations, will affect LED brightness changes, such as heat dissipation conditions are not good easy to produce LED light decay, LED dead phenomenon,this driver is much cheaper.
Constant voltage power supply drive :the output current fluctuates greatly from time to time,can not ensure that the LED constant current work, a long time is easy to produce LED light failure or lamp damage phenomenon,it’s also very cheap solution.
4.Waterproof technology
Waterproof pool lighting,of course the waterproof performance must be excellent! The most common see waterproof technology is resin-filled waterproof and structure waterproof.
Resin-filled waterproof led pool lighting easy to lead the crack,yellowing,color temperature drift problem,also the complain rate very high.
Structure waterproof submersible pool lighting,it’s through the optimization of the structure to achieve the effect of waterproof,it’s a reliable and stable waterproof technology,greatly decrease the defective rate.
Now you can understand why the same appearance pool lamp with so big different price ? beside the above mentioned factors,the professional and quality control also the points to make the price different.
