BP202-RLP12H

LEDs - Lamp Replacements

LEDs (Light-Emitting Diode) have become increasingly popular in commercial and residential applications over the years. As a result, it is not uncommon to find them in various lamp types, including BP202-RLP12H. LEDs have several benefits over more traditional types of lighting, such as energy efficiency, directional light emissions, shock resistance, and attractive design options. In order to understand the application field and working principles of BP202-RLP12H, it is important to understand the basics of LED technology.

Basic Components of an LED

LEDs are comprised of several key components – the diode or chip, the internal structure, the lens/diffuser, and the heat sink. The diode, also known as the “chip”, is the portion of the LED which emits (or produces) the light. This is usually composed of a semiconductor material, such as gallium arsenide or gallium phosphide. The internal structure of the LED is made up of an anode (positive) and cathode (negative) electrodes, as well as an epoxy material which encapsulates the chip. The lens/diffuser is typically made of either clear plastic or frosted glass and helps to direct the light outwards in a specific direction.

The heat sink is an essential component as it helps to dissipate the heat produced by the LED and keep the temperature of the diode to an acceptable level. It is often made of aluminum and other metal components.

BP202-RLP12H Application Field and Working Principle

BP202-RLP12H LED lamps are designed to replace traditional halogen and incandescent bulbs. They are rated for 12 volts and up to 60 watts, and are primarily used for accent lighting in residential, commercial, retail, and hospitality spaces. BP202-RLP12H lamps are typically available in warm white (2700K) and cool white (5000K) color temperatures and feature an 110° opacity light. The BP202-RLP12H is a forward biased diode, which means that the current flows in one direction only as determined by the voltage applied.

The BP202-RLP12H has a very efficient expression of light due to its combination of lens/diffuser and chip size. This combination creates a bright and uniform illumination with a 110° beam angle. Since the BP202-RLP12H does not generate infrared radiation and does not use a filament, it is free of maintenance and does not require the use of a heat sink. Additionally, the BP202-RLP12H has a life span of up to 40,000 hours in normal operations.

Energy Efficiency Benefits

One of the major advantages of LED lighting is its energy efficiency. LED lamps are more efficient than traditional types of lighting, such as halogen and incandescent bulbs, due to the fact that they use less energy. BP202-RLP12H LED lamps use approximately 80% less energy than incandescent and halogen lamps. Additionally, they do not generate as much heat, meaning they run cooler and do not require additional cooling components, such as a heat sink. This leads to reduced energy and cost savings over time.

Conclusion

BP202-RLP12H LED lamps offer a variety of benefits to both residential and commercial consumers. They are an energy efficient lighting option, require minimal maintenance, and have a long life span. Additionally, the BP202-RLP12H is a forward biased diode and is available in both warm white and cool white color temperatures. For these reasons, BP202-RLP12H is a great choice for accent lighting in any space.
