Kosnic LED DD

Lighting is a major source of energy consumption. Light energy accounts for 20% of the world’s energy consumption, and it is also a major contributor to our carbon emissions. Many people are looking for ways to reduce their energy consumption through lighting and make a positive environmental impact. 

Kosnic has introduced one of the most efficient light models in the form of the Kosnic LED DD lamp. This LED lamp is highly efficient and does not compromise on illumination. Here is everything you need to know about the Kosnic LED DD. 

What Are Energy Efficient Lights And How Do They Work?

Before we look at the Kosnic LED DD, it is important to understand what are energy efficient lights and how they help you save on energy costs. Energy efficient lights reduce the energy usage of the light bulb without affecting the final lumen output or brightness. 

An energy efficient light fixture consumes less energy to perform the same function as an incandescent lamp. These qualities set these lights apart from their traditional counterparts. Energy efficient lighting does not rely on wattage to deliver good results. 

Manufacturers moved away from measuring light output in this way as they wanted to produce models that did not take up too much energy. Therefore, in newer energy efficient lights, energy consumption does not correlate to the quality of brightness. 

Energy saving lights can help you save on energy costs while providing high-quality illumination. If you are looking to introduce energy efficient lighting in your home, you don’t have to go through a complicated process. What makes these lights, so energy efficient is their structural components. These lights are manufactured with high-quality materials that ensure your luminaries last a long time. 

The circuitry in these lights is also much better than traditional lights. With these qualities, you won’t have to worry about constantly replacing your light bulbs. Many homeowners install energy efficient lighting in their households to reduce energy bills, but you can also implement such lighting in a larger application.

Energy efficient lighting in commercial properties, office spaces, and public luminaries will greatly impact energy savings and carbon emissions. Several government legislatures are implementing the use energy efficient lighting on a larger scale to cut back on energy consumption and reduce environmental harm. 

These legislatures are urging manufacturers to scale back on the production of inefficient lighting. This change is happening across several countries; the UK plans to phase out all inefficient lighting by 2023

Some countries are also incentivising manufacturers to produce more efficient light solutions. The awareness of energy efficient lighting is also increasing, and many people are seeking out energy efficient bulbs instead of their traditional counterparts. 

Due to this high demand, you can expect the energy efficient light industry to reach £324 billion by 2027. With high demand, there will be many more economical and efficient light products to choose from in the future. 

You can find such products in our line of Kosnic bulbs. The Kosnic bulbs are one of the best lighting products on the market that use innovative LED technology with lower upfront. With these fixtures, you can enjoy energy efficient brightness at just a fraction of the cost. 

The Kosnic LED DD signals a new generation of LED lighting that is highly efficient, providing superior energy savings, unlike any other light product. 

Switching to energy efficient lighting is very easy, and in some cases, you don’t need an extensive installation process to wire these luminaries. You can simply do a re-lamping process and start using the energy efficient bulbs. 

You can replace both incandescent and CFL bulbs with a more energy conscious model. Once you have made this switch, you can add even more functionality to your lights. Adding efficient lighting control is a great way to use your energy efficient lights more accurately, reducing your energy consumption in the long run. 

Why Are Energy Efficient Lights Becoming Popular?

So why did the demand for this type of lighting increase? With rising environmental awareness and increasing energy cap prices, many people were seeking energy and environmentally conscious lighting products. 

Manufacturers introduced energy efficient lighting as an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional light bulbs. These energy saving light products use significantly less electricity to produce a similar brightness intensity as a traditional light bulb. 

There are several types of energy efficient lights on the market; however, the two most common are LED lights and CFLs lights. An LED light is a great cost-effective choice for household and large-scale applications for light fixtures. 

LED stands for light emitting diode, and this LED component uses electricity to create illumination. Energy efficient LED lights are often considered one of the best energy saving light bulbs worldwide as they consume less energy and last a long time. 

Since LED technology is constantly improving, modern LED lights will be much more efficient than their older counterparts. One of the best modern versions of LED lights is the Kosnic LED DD. These lights use LED technology but take things further by providing consumers with high energy savings. 

The Kosnic LED DD is one of the best energy efficient lighting you can find. Most LED light bulbs have a smaller size than traditional light bulbs, but they are highly efficient. LED lights are designed with a grouped cluster alongside a diffuser lens. This design layout broadens the application for energy efficient LED light bulbs in homes and other areas. 

Even though some LEDs have a high upfront cost, they are far more economical than other light bulbs, energy saving due to their longer life span. CFL light fixtures are another popular energy efficient option that is commonly used in larger applications such as commercial properties and public lighting. 

CFLs are compact fluorescent light bulbs and smaller versions of full-sized fluorescent bulbs. Energy efficient CFL lights screw into a conventional lamp socket, and they give off an illumination that looks similar to a standard incandescent light bulb. 

Despite the fluorescent makeup, these lights are not as harsh as the light bulbs in factories and other industrial buildings. However, since the production of LED DD bulbs, many consumers are swapping CFLs with LEDs. 

If you want a highly energy efficient product that does not compromise illumination, you should opt for the Kosnic LED DD bulbs. These products are also highly versatile, making them suitable for large-scale operations as well. 

Why Are Energy Efficient Lights Important?

Since many energy efficient lights have high upfront costs, some people might be hesitant to make the switch to these lights. However, it is important to consider these light fixtures as they provide several benefits. 

Lighting is such an important aspect of any building as it impacts our day-to-day activities. In a household, lighting accounts for 15% of the total electricity consumption. Due to these factors, lighting is an important area where energy must be conserved. Therefore it is crucial to invest in products that will provide high-quality illumination and help you cut back on energy costs. 

Since lighting is used so heavily, it consumes a significant portion of energy. Using traditional light products is not sustainable in the long run. Energy efficient lights play a key role in energy saving areas. Due to inefficient electrical components, traditional incandescent lightbulbs are responsible for high energy consumption. 

These traditional light bulbs not only waste energy but also produce a lot of heat, damaging the light bulb and requiring frequent replacements. This heat account for 90% of the light’s energy consumption. This means you waste 90% of your energy costs with traditional light bulbs.   

Once you install energy efficient lighting, you might not see a lot of savings immediately; however, you will experience a major reduction in your energy bills after some time. 

To use your lighting more efficiently, it is best to switch to energy models such as the Kosnic LED DD. This Kosnic LED DD product is a much more efficient model than other lighting products, including compact fluorescent DD lights. 

What Are Energy Efficient LED Lights?

Previously one of the best efficient lights on the market were CLFs. These were commonly used for larger-scale applications due to their efficient energy use. However, CFLs became less energy efficient over time, and a more energy conscious light model was created. These were called light emitting diodes or LED light bulbs. 

In most applications, LED lights have replaced CFLs as the more energy efficient light model out of the two. When it comes to energy efficient lighting, many people prefer using LEDs instead of any other lighting. 

Energy saving LED light bulbs are used for both domestic and commercial applications. These bulbs come in a linear fluorescent lamp, but they also have a light strip format, which is commonly used in the workplace and industrial settings. 

As mentioned before, the electrical component plays a key role in a light’s efficiency, and an LED bulb is no different. Due to their circuitry and design, LED lights are far more efficient than other light bulbs, especially incandescent lights.LED light has a durable light bulb structure that is highly energy-efficient. 

When these LED bulbs were first created, they were produced with a single-bulb setting. Early LED light bulbs were used in electrical appliances, instrument panels, pen lights, and more. Later on, manufacturers improved the design structure with small grouped clusters. This gave LEDs a wider appeal in terms of applications. 

More recent use of energy efficient LED light bulbs includes recessed lighting, indoor headlamps, string lighting, and Christmas lights. 

With the rising popularity of energy efficient lighting, LED bulbs are becoming one of the most popular light sources worldwide. For domestic and household purposes, LED lights are equipped with a standard base fixture similar to other bulbs. Another great feature of LEDs is the lens. The diffuser lens is crucial as it helps the light spread in a wider beam. 

One of the major features of early LED light bulbs is that the light emission is directional as opposed to traditional incandescent bulbs, which spread light in a spherical direction. This type of lighting direction works well with recessed lighting or under cabinet lighting fixtures; however, directional lighting may not be suitable for table lamps. 

Newer LED light models are created to address directional light limitations. These modern LED lights use a diffuser lens and a reflector to distribute illumination in multiple directions, similar to an incandescent light bulb. 

Despite the high energy savings with LED light bulbs, these bulbs have a high upfront cost for many consumers. However, more and more manufacturers are creating economical LED lights that work just as well as their more expensive counterparts. 

If you are looking for even more efficient lighting, LED DD is the latest technology in energy efficiency. These light products, including the Kosnic LED DD, are one of the best energy saving lights on the market. 

Kosnic LED DD has a higher lumen output and lifespan when compared to other LED bulbs. This means you can enjoy high-quality illumination without worrying about energy bills. 

What Is The Kosnic LED DD Lamp?

The Kosnic LED DD lamps are a modern iteration of a regular LED light fixture. These lights come with a switchable wattage making them ideal for many applications. Whether you have large-scape lighting needs or need a fixture for your home, the Kosnic LED DD lamp is a perfect choice. 

The Kosnic LED DD light comes with several built-in features that extend its functionality in comparison with traditional lamps. Some LED DDs come with standard settings, while others have built-in dusk to dawn function. 

Dusk to dawn lighting comes with a built-in photocell that is sensitive to light. This means that when the bulb is exposed to sunlight, it will automatically switch off. However, when the sun sets, the light switches on. 

With this quality, you never have to worry about manually operating your light bulb. This quality also makes Kosnic LED DD perfect for outdoor lighting purposes. The LED DD lamp is also to install even in commercial settings. This type of light is best suited for commercial applications, where you need a higher light output but lower operating costs. 

Most commercial properties use compact fluorescents; however, you can easily make the switch to LED DD. These bulbs are easily replaceable and require no additional wiring.

What Are The Important Features Of Kosnic LED DD Lamps? 

Apart from high energy savings and a longer lifespan, Kosnic LED DD lamps come with several great features that make them perfect for commercial applications. 

Here are some of the best features of Kosnic LED DD lamps:

  • Microwave Motion Sensor: sensors are a great way to make lighting more efficient, and the Kosnic LED DD comes with a microwave motion sensor that automatically turns lighting on. The sensor affects the detection range and the dimmer setting on your lamp. To activate this feature, you can set your custom detection range. 
  • Dimmer Function: for outdoor applications, this Kosnic LED DD comes with a dimmer feature that makes it ideal for corridors. You can dim this light up to 10% for low-intensity ambient illumination. Dimmer works alongside the motion sensor which means the light remains low when there is no motion but increases intensity as soon as presence is detected. 
  • Timer Setting: if you want better control over your light output, the Kosnic LED DD lamp has a built-in timer to give precise control over your lighting. This lamp can be set between 8 seconds and 30 minutes. If the lamp detects any movement before the set time, the lamp automatically recalibrates its setting. It is recommended that you use the shortest time setting with the motion sensor feature to make the most out of the LED DD lamp. 
  • Ambient Light Setting: If you don’t want to operate your lamp at its full illumination, the Kosnic LED DD comes with an ambient light setting that allows you to toggle through multiple lighting modes based on your preference. 

How Does LED Compare To Other Lights Bulbs?

When it comes to choosing the best energy efficient light bulb, LEDs are the best choice. LED light bulbs are far more efficient than any other light fixture on the market. This lighting solution uses 90% less energy than an incandescent or halogen light bulb of similar brightness. 

For example, a 4-watt LED light bulb can achieve a similar lumen output comparable with a 50-watt incandescent light bulb. This is because LED light bulbs are much more efficient at converting electricity into light energy. 

The Kosnic bulbs are designed to be highly efficient as they use very low wattage to operate while focusing on the lumen output. The LED DD lights are even more efficient than a standard LED model, making them best for commercial applications. 

The mechanical features of LEDs make a key difference in this conversion because, in other light models, most energy would get wasted through heat emissions. However, LED lights do not produce heat; therefore, they make much better use of the energy consumed. 

When it comes to efficiency drops, LED light bulbs to perform better for a long period of time compared to other light bulbs. LEDs experience a drop in efficiency as the current increases; however, the overall performance drop is much lower than an incandescent light bulb. 

With innovative research, manufacturers are looking at ways to extend a LED's life even further. On the other hand, incandescent bulbs have an extremely short lifespan when compared to LEDs, making them an inefficient lighting solution for prolonged use. 

Another great benefit of using LED light bulbs is the longer lifespan. Since there is no thermal emission, the LED bulb does not suffer any mechanical damage and therefore does not need constant replacements. 

A well-built LED light bulb can last 25 times longer than any other light bulb. In comparison, LED DD bulbs last even longer than a standard light bulb. These lamps, including the Kosnic LED DD lamp, are designed to last 30,000 hours

LED DD Lamps Compared To CFL DD Lamps

In terms of commercial usage, many people prefer using CFL lights bulb as they are more efficient than an incandescent light fixture. However, LED DD lamps perform much better than CFLs in commercial applications. 

One of the biggest drawbacks of CFLs is that they take a long time to warm up. With LED DDs, you can immediately enjoy high-intensity illumination without any wait time. This feature in CFLs can greatly limit their use in commercial properties where you need immediate brightness. 

Some CFLs are also sensitive to a lower temperature which also greatly reduces their application. When it comes to safety, LED DDs are the better choice as CFLs are very fragile to handle, and there is a higher risk of breakage. 

Some of these lamps also contain mercury vapour which can be harmful when exposed. Due to all these qualities, LED DD lamps perform much better when compared to CFL DD Lamps. 

What Is The Difference Between Electric Ballasts And Magnetic Ballasts?

A ballast is important for the longevity of your light. Most ballasts either come in a magnetic or electric configuration. Knowing which type of ballast works with the LED DD will help your lighting last longer. 

Magnetic Ballasts

We have mentioned this feature before, but it’s worth reiterating that electric radiators are 100% energy efficient. These radiators convert every single watt of electricity they draw from the wall sockets into usable heat, making this heating solution one of the most efficient on the market. 

Efficient heat energy means that nothing goes to waste, helping you save on energy costs as well as reducing radiator operational costs. 

When paired alongside a renewable energy source such as solar or wind power, electric radiators become completely energy efficient. If you are looking for an environmentally-friendly but efficient heating source, you can’t go wrong with electric radiators. 

Electric Ballasts

Electronic ballasts change the flow of electricity in the lamp fixture, and they use multiple inductions coils that are separated from each other. These ballasts also tend to change the frequency of the electric current without affecting the voltage. 

Multi-Zone Heating

Radiators that come equipped with a built-in thermostat, such as electric radiators, allow you to manage multiple heat settings in your home; if you have multiple electric radiators, you and create individual settings with one central electric radiator. 

For example, you might want the heating to stay on longer in the living room but not in other areas of the house. You can create a heating zone to carry out this task. Multi-zone heating allows you to create temperature settings on a room-to-room basis. 

You can also create multiple schedules for more efficient use of your electrical heating. This feature allows you to reduce wasted heat energy on unused spaces, ultimately reducing your energy consumption.

How To Install Kosnic LED DD Lamps?

The LED DD lamps can easily replace most fluorescent DD lamps; however, you might need to consult a qualified electrician to avoid any danger. 

Before you begin, ensure that the existing fitting is switched off. Also, make sure to isolate the mains power before starting any electrical work. If you need to convert the fitting, make sure that the new fitting meets safety requirements to avoid any damage in the future. 

If you are using a magnetic ballast, you should:

  • Get rid of the starter and any power capacitor. If you leave the capacitor in place, your energy savings will be less.
  • Once you get rid of the capacitor plug, install the LED DD lamp into the lamp holder. 

If you have an electric high frequency ballast:

  • You don’t need an electronic ballast for this lamp, so you can remove it or bypass it. 
  • Connect the live and neutral wire directly from the mains supply to the lamp holder terminal.
  • Make sure to put the neutral and live wires in terminals opposite the lamp holder. 
  • You can add a 1A fuse between the lamp holder and the live wire to prevent the circuit from breaking in the event of a fault in one single bulb.
