The light efficiency of halogen tungsten wire can be evaluated from the following aspects:
- Luminous flux (lumen value)
Luminous flux is a physical quantity that measures the luminous ability of a light source, and the unit is lumen (Lm). The luminous flux of a halogen lamp is usually around 1000Lm. The higher the lumen value, the brighter the light source. For halogen tungsten wires, the size of the luminous flux directly reflects the level of its luminous efficiency. Therefore, when evaluating the light efficiency of halogen tungsten wires, it is necessary to measure its luminous flux first.
- Luminous efficiency (Lm/W)
Luminous efficiency refers to the ratio of the total luminous flux emitted by a light source to the electrical power (watt) consumed by the light source, and the unit is lumen per watt (Lm/W). Luminous efficiency is an important indicator for measuring the energy-saving performance of a light source. The higher the luminous efficiency, the stronger the ability of the light source to convert electrical energy into light energy. The luminous efficiency of a halogen lamp is generally around 15~20Lm/W. Although it is lower than new light sources such as LEDs, it is still at a relatively high level among traditional light sources. When evaluating the light efficiency of halogen tungsten wires, it is necessary to measure their light efficiency values and compare them with similar products or standards.
- Color temperature and color rendering index
Color temperature is a physical quantity that measures the color of the light source, measured in Kelvin (K). The color temperature of halogen lamps is usually selected between 2500K and 3500K. The color temperature within this range can create a warm and comfortable lighting atmosphere. The color rendering index (Ra) is a physical quantity that measures the color rendering ability of the light source. The higher the value, the more realistic the color restoration of the object by the light source. The halogen lamp has a high color rendering index and can well restore the true color of the object. When evaluating the light efficiency of halogen tungsten wires, the influence of its color temperature and color rendering index also needs to be considered.
- Service life
Service life is an important indicator for measuring the durability of the light source, usually in hours. The service life of halogen lamps is generally around 3000~5000 hours. Although it is shorter than long-life light sources such as LEDs, it is still within an acceptable range among traditional light sources. The length of service life is related to factors such as the quality of the tungsten wire, the manufacturing process of the bulb, and the use environment. When evaluating the luminous efficiency of halogen tungsten wires, the impact of their service life also needs to be considered.
- Comprehensive evaluation method
In order to comprehensively evaluate the luminous efficiency of halogen tungsten wires, the following methods can be used:
Laboratory test: Under standard laboratory conditions, use professional equipment to measure the luminous flux, luminous efficiency, color temperature, color rendering index and other parameters of halogen tungsten wires. This method can accurately reflect the luminous efficiency level of halogen tungsten wires, but requires professional testing equipment and personnel to operate.
Comparative test: Compare halogen tungsten wires with other types of light sources (such as LEDs, fluorescent lamps, etc.) to evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of their luminous efficiency. This method can intuitively show the difference between halogen tungsten wires and other light sources, but it is necessary to ensure the consistency of test conditions.
Practical application evaluation: Apply halogen tungsten wires to actual lighting scenes to observe indicators such as lighting effects, service life and user satisfaction. This method can reflect the performance of halogen tungsten wires in actual applications, but requires a longer test time and a larger number of samples.
