As people spend more time indoors due to COVID-19, interest in lighting is growing, and Kumho E&G (CEO Lee Im-sik), an energy management specialist, has launched an LED lighting product designed with the environment in mind.
The LED lighting introduced by Kumho E&G is distinguished by proprietary patented technology that not only minimizes the impact on the human body but also dramatically extends product life, significantly reducing maintenance and repair costs. In addition, because the rapid flickering of lighting or display screens (flicker) can cause headaches, nervous system disorders, vision damage, and photosensitive seizures, the company applied its own technology to eliminate flicker. Kumho E&G developed a converter without the electrolytic capacitor (liquid) used in conventional methods, easily resolving the intensified flicker caused by the power ripple of electrolytic capacitors. In other words, there is no flicker that worsens with use, so even prolonged use has no adverse effects on health or the human body.
The lifespan of the LED lighting has also been greatly improved. MTBF (mean time between failures / average lifespan) tests of the converter conducted at several internationally accredited testing institutions produced data showing that it can be used semi-permanently. As a result, it is评价 as not only dramatically reducing maintenance costs but also economically managing the labor costs incurred when replacing parts.
In addition, flat-panel lights in the low-to-mid 20W class stand out as ultra-high-efficiency products with a luminous efficacy of 175 lm/W or higher, capable of replacing the LED flat-panel lights of 50W or lower currently installed in public institutions and public enterprises. Furthermore, by reducing waste emissions, they contribute not only to environmental protection but also to reducing greenhouse gases.
An official from Kumho E&G said, "Because converters often do not last as long as the LED lamps themselves, enormous national budgets are frequently wasted, so we developed a long-life, ultra-high-efficiency product to prevent this." He added, "We will continue to develop high-performance LED lighting products to secure a leading position in both domestic and overseas markets." 1544-4310
