Working principle of dimmable LED floor lamps
LED floor lamps with dimmable functions have transformed spaces, adding a touch of contemporary style. In combination with other lights, they help to improve the decoration of living spaces. Dimmable LED floor lamps help a lot to dim the light intensity. LEDs are some of the most energy efficient lighting units. Here’s a closer look at how a dimmable LED floor lamp works.
Pulse width modulation dimming method
It is important to understand that despite the appearance of dim light, LEDs do not actually emit a dimmer light. The LEDs work in two modes: ON and OFF. So effectively, what is observed as dim light is actually light emitted in pulses at alternate intervals. This pulsing of light is controlled by the dimmer, which determines the intervals and intensity of the pulsing.
Pulse frequency designed to create the effect of continuous light with the naked eye
Pulsating light should ideally appear as interrupted pulses of light with intervals of darkness in between; more like a flickering lamp or wick. However, a flickering light is definitely not the ideal light for floor lamps. A floor lamp requires continuous light, therefore PWM LEDs are designed to emit light in pulses at a high rate, which will create the effect of continuous light.
New look – Dimmable LED floor lamp
A perfect dimmable LED floor lamp offers a warm amber glow to transform the ambience of your room. The dimmable feature allows the light to be adjusted to cast in levels ranging from bright task lighting to dim, soft and cozy hues. The exciting designs of dimmable floor lamps help enhance the aesthetics of interiors. Sleek and compact designs help create wonderful lighting from stunning light fixtures.
The working principle incorporates the analog technique.
Analog dimming technique is the underlying principle used to dim LED floor lamps. The direct current supplied to the LED bulb is controlled and the linear power supply to the bulb causes the dimming effect. Due to temperature changes, the light emitted by low quality dimmable LED bulbs may lack intensity, so it is important to choose high quality dimmable LED bulbs.
Challenges for dimmable LEDs to flourish
There are demands for LED manufacturers to develop dimmable LED bulbs. However, it should be noted that users generally like to keep their settings, and there is a need for manufacturers to develop LED bulbs that can be retrofitted. Although the technology is relatively new, it has been proven time and time again to work extremely efficiently. The demand for dimmable LED bulbs is increasing and the day is not far off when LED bulbs will rule the world of lighting with their designs, features, durability and cost savings.
The digital age has also created exciting possibilities for network-controlled lighting and wireless controls. The main dimming methods are TRIAC dimming, PWM dimming, and linear dimming. It’s time to light up with style and take style to levels that exist in the most creative minds.
