The problem as it presented itself

The brief was a specification, not a failure: the customer needed an illuminance figure guaranteed at the task plane, and the existing installation delivered a compliant average with unusable uniformity. The average number had been measured from a single point at the centre of the room, which is the first thing to check in any lighting complaint.

The diagnosis came from a measurement grid rather than a specification sheet. Taking readings on a grid across the working area showed the problem was geometric, not photometric: the fixture spacing was too wide for the mounting height, so the centre of the room was over-lit while the areas where work actually happened fell below target.

  • Measure on a grid, not at a point. A single centre reading hides exactly the problem that matters.
  • Check spacing-to-mounting-height before changing fixtures. Most uniformity complaints are layout problems.
  • Separate the average from the task plane. Illuminance at floor level says little about illuminance at the work surface.

The fix was a layout change rather than a product change: closer spacing and a different mounting height brought the whole working plane into range. No luminaire was replaced. This is why the geometric check comes before the product check.

waterproof LED tube light application

Technically, the LED waterproof tube is defined as a waterproof tube made of LED chips as the light source and waterproof material, and the waterproof level is not lower than ip65.
The common main applications are the lighting of refrigerators and other scenes, the lighting of breeding areas and planting areas, bathroom lighting, hot spring lighting, underground storage rooms, greenhouses, and wine cellars.
1. Cold chain vehicle lighting

In the scenes of freezer lighting, cold chain car lighting, and freezing room lighting, the temperature is low, and water mist is easy to be generatedWaterproof tubes

between the entry and exit and switch, and adheres to the lamps. Over time, it will invade into the lamp body and damage the lamp; and the temperature of this kind of scene is low, and its waterproof material and structure must not only be waterproof but also anti-fog, low-temperature and anti-aging.

2. Agricultural lighting
The lighting of the breeding area and the planting area The environment of the breeding area is relatively humid. Animal breathing, spraying disinfectant and regular cleaning of the site all result in a humid environment in the breeding area, and the quality of light directly affects the quality of poultry meat and eggs. quality.
Combining waterproof technology with LED dimming technology can make farming more efficient. Due to frequent irrigation and spraying, the scene of the planting area is also humid. And for the growth of plants and animals, light has a greater impact on it. In view of this situation,

LED plant waterproof growth lights have been launched, using lights to quickly and high-quality produce plants to meet human needs for plants and vegetables.
3. Public lighting
Such as bathroom lighting, hot springs, underground storage rooms, greenhouses, wine cellars. The use of LED waterproof tubes in these areas can not only reduce the frequency of replacing lamps and reduce the cost of using lamps, but also use waterproof lamps with a higher safety factor, which almost eliminates hidden dangers in electricity consumption.

4. Other special waterproof lighting
The application of waterproof lamps in other scenes is the lighting above the fish tank and the lighting under the eaves. These waterproof grades generally require ip66, and the lights in the fish tank, fishing boat lights, and fishing lights require a higher level, generally ip68 and above.
