What are the most popular swimming pool light in 2022?
Choosing and installing underwater lights in swimming pools
Due to the particularity of the application of the underwater color light, it is an electrical product that works underwater, so it also has special requirements for its technical indicators.
First of all, the protection indicators of underwater swimming pool lights are divided into two aspects: dustproof and waterproof. According to the IEC standard, the international general protection symbols are as follows:
1. According to the national dust-proof grade standard, the dust-proof grade of swimming pool lights is divided into 6 grades. Among them, the sixth level is the highest, and the dustproof level of the underwater swimming pool light should reach the sixth level with the ip6x mark.
2. According to the national waterproof level standard, the waterproof level of lamps is divided into 8 levels. The sixth stage is splash type, the seventh stage is watertight, and the eighth stage is pressurized watertight. The eighth level is the highest, and the waterproof level of the underwater swimming pool light should meet the requirements of level 8, marked as ipx8. According to the above two requirements, the underwater color light has a dustproof rating of 6, a waterproof rating of 8, and is marked as IP68.
Second, the national standards for anti-electric shock safety indicators of swimming pool lights are divided into four categories: O, I, II and III. At the same time, the national standard clearly stipulates that the underwater lighting fixtures in swimming pools, fountains, horse pools and other similar places should be Class III lamps for protection against electric shock. The operating voltage of its external and internal circuits must not exceed 12V.
Third, the rated working voltage of the swimming pool lamp is the electrical parameter index of the lamp, which directly determines the use environment of the lamp, that is, the actual working voltage must be consistent with the rated working voltage. Otherwise, either the light source burns due to the high voltage, or the lighting effect of the light cannot be achieved due to the low voltage.
Fourth, the selection of underwater swimming pool lights can be based on the actual project requirements. How to choose the underwater swimming pool lights reasonably should be considered from the following aspects:
1. Safety function In the natural environment, the choice of underwater swimming pool lights takes personal safety as the first element. Underwater colored lights with a safe voltage of 12V must be used according to the requirements of national standards.
2. The lighting function mainly refers to the luminous brightness of the light source. Different power underwater swimming pool lights can be selected according to the lighting height and lighting area. Another element of the lighting function is the color of the underwater colored lights, which usually include red, yellow, green, blue and white. The choice can be made according to the application, the objects to be illuminated and the atmosphere to be created.
3. Although the underwater swimming pool light is used underwater, its appearance and shell material are not very obvious. But the shape and material are related to the specific gravity of the lamp. If the specific gravity is too small, there will be a lot of buoyancy, which can easily loosen the fixing screws of the underwater swimming pool light, making the light float and too heavy to support. At the same time, due to long-term use in water, the shell material should have a certain anti-corrosion function, and the surface paint layer should be firm.
4. Economy The economy of underwater colored lights refers to the sum of the one-time investment and the operating cost of the lights. Generally speaking, better quality underwater pool lights are more expensive, last longer and cost less to run. On the contrary, the inferior quality underwater swimming pool lights are cheap, but due to water leakage, water leakage is often blind, which not only increases the operating cost, but also affects the acceptance of the entire project.
