LED Lighting
LED Technology is gaining popularity in the lighting business, and switching from conventional lighting to LED's.
In the lighting market, doubts are frequently perplexed by the various types of light sources. They struggle to choose from vavirous light source lamps and often find it challenging to determine which lamp best suits their project. LED and metal halide lamps are two common choices, especially in large outdoor projects. Today, we will conduct an in-depth comparison of LED vs metal halide and analyze how they can be adapted or transformed for various purposes.
Metal halide lamps are suitable for large-scale spaces that require high illumination and good color rendering, such as stadiums, art galleries, exhibition halls, large shopping malls, industrial plants, street squares, stations, docks and other places. The method of mixed light illumination can obtain high luminous efficiency, and the light color can also be improved. It is suitable for street lighting and bustling street lighting. Floodlight or high pole lighting, high pole lighting can be installed in overpasses, squares, stations, docks, etc.
LED (Light Emitting Diode), a light-emitting diode, is a solid-state semiconductor device that can convert electrical energy into visible light. It can directly convert electricity into light. The heart of the LED is a semiconductor chip, one end of the chip is attached to a bracket, one end is the negative pole, and the other end is connected to the positive pole of the power supply, so that the entire chip is encapsulated by epoxy resin. LED can directly emit red, yellow, blue, green, cyan, orange, purple and white light. LED lamps are lighting equipment that uses LEDs as light sources inside some shells.
Energy-saving and environmental protection: At present, the actual effective luminous efficiency of LED lamps is basically 100-190lm/W. Compared with metal halide lamps, it can save at least 60% of energy. At the same time, it does not contain lead, mercury, and other polluting elements, which is not harmful to the environment. Any pollution is truly green. Most of the used LED lamps can be recycled and reused.Long life: The theoretical life of the LED lamp is 50000Hrs. The actual working time is at least 10 years. The traditional metal halide lamps, HPS, and incandescent lamps generally have a service life of about 2 years.
The forms of lamps are diversified: LED can be made into lighting lamps with E27, E40 lamp caps, used to directly replace traditional E27, E40 metal halide lamps, HPS lamps, etc., and can also be made into lighting equipment integrated with the lamp housing , Such as outdoor led floodlights, SMD downlights, UFO high bay led light, led street lamps etc.
Integrated design of lens and lampshade. The lens has the functions of light-gathering and protection at the same time, avoiding the repeated waste of light and making the product more concise and beautiful.
Whether it is a narrow space or a large place, LED lights can be used in almost all places, indoor, outdoor, emergency, landscape, industrial, commercial, and civilian use.

Power
150W 250W 400W 1000W 1500W 2000W
Range from 1W to 1000W
Input voltage
Mostly 110V, or only 220VAC 50/60Hz
AC100-240V 50/60Hz. DC12V/24V/36V/48V optional
Original Lumens
80-100lm/W
100-190lm/W
Effective lumens
40-50lm/W.Halide lamps with 360degree beam angle,which means a half of light is not actually working.
100-190lm/w.Mostly all lights from led chips can be used perfectly without any lose or only a little lose.
Color temperature
Most of them is 5000K.The other color temperature is not easy to do
Generally 3000K,4500k,6500K 2500K,8000K,Yellow,red,blue,green available as well.
Light source
Toxic gas
Solid led chips
Color rendering index
CRI90-99
CRI65-90
Beam angle
360˚. Glowing from all sides is not conducive to effective use of all light, resulting in a lot of light waste.
180˚. It is to let all the emitted light be used as much as possible.
Friendly
No
Yes
Start-up time
10-20Minutes to warm-up,then the lamps can be working normally.
Instant up.
Light decay
The metal halide light decay is large: the average luminous decay reaches 17% in 500 hours. The average light decay reaches 25.2% in 1000 hours
The luminous decay of LED is 0 for 1000 hours. 3000 hours light attenuation is 1% 10000 hours light attenuation is 3%
Lifespan
6000-8000Hrs.
50000Hrs.the actual lifetime is 5years at least.
Cost
Cheap.
Higher.
IK Rating
IK00, The metal halide light source is a glass body, so it has no shock resistance. Very inconvenient to transport
IK07.It is stronger shock resistance.
Warranty
1-2Years
3-10years according to requirements
The metal halide lamp (HID) is 360° luminous. When it irradiates one side, only half of the light it emits can be irradiated to the opposite side, and the other half of the light is actually not highly utilized and basically belongs to light loss.
