1, Brightness level: from normal to ultra-high brightness
The brightness level of LED lights is one of the most basic classification methods, which directly affects the lighting effect and application range of the lamps. According to the different luminous intensities, LED lights can be divided into ordinary brightness LED, high brightness LED (industry abbreviation G-LED), and ultra-high brightness LED.
Ordinary brightness LED: This is currently the most common LED lighting product on the market, mainly used for indicator lights of various instruments and meters, daily lighting fixtures, outdoor lighting fixtures, etc. The light efficiency of ordinary brightness LEDs is usually below 80LM/W, while the light efficiency of outdoor lighting fixtures is about 100-130LM/W. Although the brightness is relatively low, ordinary brightness LEDs can already meet the lighting needs of most homes and offices.
High Brightness LED (G-LED): High Brightness LED is a newly developed LED lighting product in recent years, with a light efficiency far exceeding that of ordinary LED, usually between 165 and 200 LM/W. High brightness LEDs are widely used in various general lighting fields such as home lighting, commercial lighting, industrial lighting, municipal street lights, tunnel lights, landscape lighting, etc. due to their high efficiency, energy saving, high brightness, and rich colors. In addition, high brightness LEDs have become the preferred lighting solution for many public facilities and large commercial projects due to their long lifespan and low maintenance costs.
Ultra high brightness LED: Ultra high brightness LED is mainly used in special lighting fields, such as car lights, special work lighting, military fields, etc. These fields have extremely high requirements for the brightness, stability, and durability of lighting fixtures, and ultra-high brightness LEDs meet these special needs precisely because of their excellent performance.
2, Energy efficiency level: from low efficiency to high efficiency
Energy efficiency level is an important indicator for measuring the energy-saving performance of LED lamps. The China Quality Certification Center (CQC) has implemented new energy efficiency certification standards for LED lamps, including GB 37478-2019 "Energy Efficiency Limits and Grades for LED Lamps Used in Road and Tunnel Lighting", GB 30225-2019 "Energy Efficiency Limits and Grades for LED Products Used in Indoor Lighting", and GB 38450-2019 "Energy Efficiency Limits and Grades for LED Flat Panel Lamps Used in General Lighting". These standards classify the energy efficiency of LED lights into different levels, from low to high, namely unqualified, third level, second level, and first level. The higher the energy efficiency level of LED lights, the lower their energy consumption and the better their energy-saving effect.
When choosing LED lights, consumers should prioritize products with high energy efficiency levels, which can not only reduce electricity costs but also contribute to environmental protection. At the same time, the government should also increase its promotion of high-efficiency and energy-saving LED lights, and promote the green development of the LED lighting industry through policy guidance and financial subsidies.
3, Application scenario level: from home to professional
The application scenario level of LED lights is also an important basis for their classification. According to different usage environments and requirements, LED lights can be divided into household grade, commercial grade, and professional grade.
Household grade LED lights: Household grade LED lights are mainly used for home lighting, such as ceiling lights, desk lamps, wall lamps, etc. These lighting fixtures are typically designed to be simple, easy to install and use, and relatively inexpensive. Household grade LED lights are not only energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but also enhance the comfort and aesthetics of the home environment.
Commercial grade LED lights: Commercial grade LED lights are mainly used in commercial places such as offices, shopping malls, hotels, etc. These lamps are usually designed to be more exquisite, high-end, and have strong decorative and functional features. Commercial grade LED lights can not only provide bright lighting effects, but also intelligently adjust according to different scenarios and needs, improving energy efficiency.
Professional LED lights: Professional LED lights are mainly used in special fields such as stage lighting, film and television shooting, sports venues, etc. These lighting fixtures typically have extremely high brightness, color richness, and adjustability, which can meet complex and varied lighting needs. The design and production of professional grade LED lights require strict adherence to relevant standards and specifications to ensure their performance and safety reach the highest level.
4, Price range: from economy to high-end
The price range of LED lights is also an important factor that consumers need to consider when choosing. The price of LED lights varies greatly depending on the brand, model, power, function, and sales channel.
Economic LED lights: Economic LED lights are usually cheaper and suitable for general household and study office use. Although these lamps are affordable, their performance and quality are still guaranteed to meet basic lighting needs.
Mid to high end LED lights: Mid to high end LED lights place more emphasis on improving quality and performance, such as eye protection effects, intelligent adjustment functions, etc. These lighting fixtures are usually reasonably priced and suitable for consumers who have certain requirements for lighting quality and comfort.
High end LED lights: High end LED lights are known for their excellent performance, exquisite design, and high-end quality. These lighting fixtures are usually expensive, but they can provide the ultimate lighting effect and user experience. High end LED lights are not only suitable for home lighting, but also widely used in commercial places and special fields.
