Philips lamps

Lighting devices are one of the most sought-after elements in modern life. Similar mechanisms are used both in everyday life and in industry. This led to the fact that their diversity is rapidly increasing in the market. But among them are the lamps Philipswhich are represented by a huge model range.

Philips is engaged in the development of various products that are used in a wide range. One of the directions is the production of light bulbs, allowing to solve complex and diverse tasks. These designs can be used to organize the lighting of many objects:

• residential buildings;
• offices;
• cars and many others.

Philips lamps offer high performance and durability. It should be noted that after installation, they require almost no maintenance. At the same time they can work in different temperature conditions.

It is necessary to highlight a few more functional features of these lighting devices:

• Bulbs consume no more than 25 watts of power, which is about 50-70% lower than that of classic incandescent bulbs from other manufacturers on the market. At the same time, only 4 watts of power is enough to replace a standard 40 watt light bulb.
• Wide range of light radiation. The company launches products on the market that can drastically differ in their technical characteristics. Some models work only in a warm spectrum, emitting light in a temperature mode up to 3000 K. In the market, you can also find modifications for which this value can already reach 6500 K, which corresponds to already cold lighting.

• High security. All products are constantly being improved, which makes it very popular. The company manufactures products that have a minimal impact on humans and the environment. It should be noted that almost the entire range of devices does not emit harmful components. Some species can be recycled, which significantly reduces the load on the ecosystem. But in most cases, light bulbs are disposed of using special methods.This direction is actively promoted by the company, which makes it so popular.
• Strength. Many modifications of lighting devices are equipped with plastic lenses. This minimizes the risk of accidental damage. But there are systems in which this element is replaced with transparent glass. These bulbs are great for large chandeliers, where you should use a full luminous flux.

Philips produces many modifications of lighting devices, which does not allow to classify them according to one criterion. Depending on the method of generating the luminous flux of the device, it can be divided into several types:

• Halogen. The line includes more than a few dozen modifications. Products are widely used in cars, as well as in the organization of street lighting. Products differ in long service life and high reliability.Among all this diversity, you can highlight such modifications as MasterLine ES, Plusline ES Compact, Plusline Large, Twistline Alu, etc.
• Fluorescent. Lamps of this type differ in small power. The line is represented by several types. Here you can find both overall tubular models (Master TL Mini Super 80, MasterTL5, etc.), and energy-saving spiral designs (Genie, Master PL-C, and many others).

• LED. LED lamps are one of the most optimal options for home. Products are durable and easy to use. LED-based lamps consume up to 80% less energy than other models. The most prominent representatives are the models CorePro LEDcandle, Master LEDlamps DimTone, Master LEDcandle.
• Sodium and mercury. Products are not as widespread, but at the same time respected by users. This line is also represented by several modifications, among which are the Master Son ApiaPIA Plus Xtra, Master Son PiaIA Plus (sodium) and HPL 4, HPL-N (mercury).

• Incandescent lamps. These models are classic devices operating on the principle of heating a tungsten filament. The company manufactures them under strict control, which allows them to slightly extend their service life. Prominent representatives are Appliance, Deco Candle, Par 38, etc.

Depending on the connection method, the lighting devices can be divided into 2 large groups:

• Capsule (GU5.3, GU10). Connection to the source of electricity is carried out by two metal outlets that resemble a two-pronged plug.
• With a socle (E27, E14). Classic models that are used almost everywhere. Installation of such a lamp involves its screwing into a special cartridge. Both of these elements are equipped with a thread or other locking mechanism.

Philips produces many types of lamps that are particularly popular among users. One of the reasons for such love is the durability of the structure. The service life of the lighting device depends on several factors, among which the type of lamp is important. The most durable are LED products that can last up to 50 thousand hours.

On average, Philips products last about 10-15 thousand hours. If the product is based on a spiral or mercury, then this value also depends on the number of on-off cycles. Such systems with frequent change of modes lose their performance. To increase this figure, the company's specialists are constantly improving their models. This is achieved through the use of different types of materials and quality control of all production cycles.

The range of Philips lamps is very wide, which does not always allow you to choose the optimal type of product. When buying lighting products, you should clarify a few of their parameters:

• The way to generate light. One of the highest quality LED lamps are considered. But if you prefer classic models, you can buy mercury or halogen.
• Type of cap. Today, all household models are equipped with just such an installation mechanism. This allows to unify the approach for all types of lighting devices. But the size of the cap can vary according to different standards.Therefore, before buying, pay attention to how you install the cartridge on the chandelier or sconce.

• Type of light flux. Philips lamps can generate light in a different spectrum. In this case, the flow can be both cold and warm. Therefore, evaluate all these parameters before buying the product. It is important that the light does not hurt the eyes and allow yourself to feel comfortable inside a person. But this characteristic can also be influenced by the type of chandelier and the design of the room.
• Functionality This often includes the possibility of changing the power of lighting. It should be noted that LED modifications often have similar functionality.

• Design clearance. There are no universal rules here, as the company offers many modifications for every taste. It is important to take into account the type of device under which the light is bought. If this is a multi-level chandelier, experts recommend buying a set of products at once. Thus, it is possible to achieve a uniform luminous flux with the same visual parameters.

Philips products are distinguished by high reliability and versatility.Many users confirm this fact. However, they note the durability of the lamps, which they replaced the conventional model. Many prefer energy-saving modifications that work on the basis of mercury. But at the same time, they say that such devices must be carefully operated, since in case of accidental damage mercury will penetrate. This metal is very toxic and must therefore be disposed of immediately. Collect it only in a glass or plastic container, and not in a bag from a vacuum cleaner.

As for lighting, many users claim that the light is very similar to the natural radiation of the sun. But at the same time, not all lamps satisfy the customers for this characteristic, since they have a slightly different emission spectrum than the usual standard models.

In this case, one should not count on the fact that the systems will last as long as the manufacturer claims. Many users claim that the service life was much less than indicated on the package. One of the drawbacks of LED lamps is their possible blinking. The reasons for this may be several - from the factory marriage to the wrong connection.

In general, Philips lighting devices are a good value for money, which allows not only to save, but also to create pleasant lighting at home. Selecting such products, be guided by your needs and recommendations of users that will allow to get high-quality and durable goods.
