The working principle and application of LED fluorescent lamp

LED fluorescent lamp, commonly known as straight tube lamp, is a substitute for traditional fluorescent tube, which is embodied in two aspects of energy saving and environmental protection. The size and installation method is the same as that of traditional fluorescent lamps, but the light-emitting principle is to use LED semiconductor chips to emit light. According to the shell material, it is divided into two categories, one is glass, the other is aluminum and PC. The luminous efficiency is 90lm/W~200lm/W.

Principle of luminescence


The terminal voltage of the PN junction constitutes a certain potential barrier. When a forward bias voltage is applied, the potential barrier drops, and the majority carriers in the P and N regions diffuse to each other. Since the mobility of electrons is much greater than that of holes, a large number of electrons will diffuse to the P region, which constitutes the injection of minority carriers in the P region. These electrons recombine with the holes in the valence band, and the energy obtained during the recombination is released in the form of light energy. This is the principle of PN junction light emission.

Structural features and parameters

Composition
1. The LED fluorescent lamp is composed of multiple ultra-bright and low-power LEDs, a PC cover with high light permeability, heat dissipation aluminum parts and a power supply.
2. The light source used in the LED fluorescent lamp has two models: straw hat head and SMD lamp beads.
Among them, the commonly used SMD lamp beads are 3528, 5050, 1W high power, etc.
Exterior
1) Transparent PC shell, high light transmission performance, you can see the lamp beads inside;
2) The semi-transparent frosted shell makes the light softer.
4. The LED fluorescent lamp has a built-in power supply, and the working voltage is a wide voltage, which can be used from 85V to 265V.
5. LED fluorescent lamps can be made into red, yellow, blue, green, white and warm white colors.
Features
LED fluorescent lamps are characterized by high quality, durability, and energy saving. They have a large projection angle adjustment range. The brightness of 18W is equivalent to that of ordinary 40W fluorescent lamps. It is resistant to high temperature, moisture, water, and leakage. The operating voltage is: 110V, 220V optional, and the outer cover can be made of glass or PC. The lamp holder is the same as an ordinary fluorescent lamp.
The LED fluorescent lamp adopts the latest LED light source technology and digital appearance design, which can save more than 70% of electricity. The intensity of 12W LED fluorescent lamp is equivalent to that of 40W fluorescent tube. The life of LED fluorescent lamp is more than 10 times that of ordinary fluorescent tube. Replace lamps, ballasts, and starters frequently. The green and environmentally friendly semiconductor electric light source has soft light and pure spectrum, which is beneficial to the user's vision protection and physical health. The 6000K cold light source gives people a visually cool feeling, and the humanized illuminance difference design helps to concentrate and improve efficiency.

Luminous efficiency
It is generally called the external quantum efficiency of the component, which is the product of the internal quantum efficiency of the component and the extraction efficiency of the component. The so-called internal quantum efficiency of the component is actually the electro-optical conversion efficiency of the component itself, which is mainly related to the characteristics of the component itself (such as the energy band, defects, and impurities of the component material), the component's barrier crystal composition and structure. The extraction efficiency of a component refers to the number of photons generated inside the component that can actually be measured outside the component after the absorption, refraction, and reflection of the component itself. Therefore, factors related to extraction efficiency include the absorption of the component material itself, the geometric structure of the component, the refractive index difference of the component and the packaging material, and the scattering characteristics of the component structure. The product of the internal quantum efficiency of the component and the extraction efficiency of the component is the luminous effect of the entire component, that is, the external quantum efficiency of the component. Early component development focused on improving its internal quantum efficiency. The main method was to improve the quality of the barrier crystal and change the structure of the barrier crystal to make it difficult to convert electrical energy into heat, thereby indirectly increasing the luminous efficiency of the LED, so as to obtain a theor of about 70% Internal quantum efficiency, but such internal quantum efficiency is almost close to the theoretical limit. Under such conditions, it is impossible to increase the total light quantity of the module by simply improving the internal quantum efficiency of the module. Therefore, improving the extraction efficiency of the module has become an important research topic. The main methods are: changing the shape of the crystal grain-TIP structure, surface roughening technology.
