You may be struggling with these questions: Underwater pool lights are supposed to be waterproof, so why do they still get water in? Are there any safety hazards if the pool light gets water in? Can I continue to use my pool light after water has entered it? What can I do to solve the problem of water ingress in my pool light? If you are interested in any of these questions, please be patient and read this blog, where I will provide detailed answers to the above questions. Common causes of water ingress into pool lights There are many reasons why water can enter a pool light during the manufacture, installation and use of a pool light. The following is a list of the most common causes of water ingress into pool lights: Substandard materials Pool light housings are commonly manufactured from plastic, stainless steel and some combination of sealing gaskets. Pool lights made from poor materials are less resistant to heat, corrosion and ageing. At the very beginning of use, there may not be any problems with the light body. However, this does not mean that you should let your guard down, as poor quality materials deteriorate significantly during use. This will gradually lead to the pool light becoming less insulated from water, allowing water to seep into the body. Plastics Poor quality plastic is susceptible to ageing due to water temperature, water pressure, internal heating and sunlight exposure. When the plastic ages, the material characteristics change and it is prone to deformation, fragility and other problems. Stainless…

Flickering is a common failure of LED lights, and there are many reasons that cause LED underwater lights to flicker. This article lists the common causes of LED underwater lights flickering and the corresponding solutions to help you quickly locate and solve the problem. Before that, let me take you through what flicker is and what effects it has on our health. What is light flicker? Light flicker refers to the rapid flickering phenomenon that occurs when the light output fluctuates. When this phenomenon is visible to the naked eye, we will see the light brightness has been changing light and dark, or constantly be off and on. Let's simulate flickering. What do you see when the position of this black and white picture changes on the screen? Light flicker is divided into the following two kinds: Visible flicker The human eye can directly observe flicker in most cases when the visible light fluctuation frequency is less than 100Hz. Invisible flicker When the fluctuation frequency of visible light exceeds 100Hz, the eye will not observe it in most cases, but it will still have an impact on the body. It should be noted that 100Hz is only the more common critical value for visible flicker. Different people's eyes to the degree of light sensitivity, the brightness of the lamp will affect this critical value. How to determine whether the light is blinking? The most widely circulated test method is to detect through the phone's photo function. Open the phone's camera and point it at the light that is glowing. If…

LED is currently the most widely used underwater lighting source. Although LED lighting has many advantages, such as safety and energy saving, it is still not immune to light decay. I will take you through the light decay and teach you how to deal with the light decay of LED underwater lights. What's the light decay? Any kind of lighting equipment has a complete luminous structure. Their luminescence principles are different, but they all have luminescent materials. The luminescent material of the tungsten lamp is the tungsten filament in the bulb, and the luminescent material of the LED is the semiconductor inside the lamp bead. Luminescent materials can suffer irreversible loss or damage during use, resulting in a permanent decrease in luminous brightness. We call this phenomenon light decay. When the lighting product produces the phenomenon of light decay, its power consumption does not decrease due to the reduction of brightness. Light decay is a common phenomenon in all types of lighting equipment. We cannot eliminate light decay, but we can slow it down. Nowadays, some high quality LED lights have a typical life span of 50,000 hours. If you use poor quality LED underwater lights or use them incorrectly, the decay of LED lights can become very fast. High quality LED lumen decay model Causes of light decay in LED underwater lights Heat Heat is the main cause of light decay. When converting electrical energy into light energy, lighting devices cannot achieve a 100% conversion rate. They always convert some of the electrical energy into thermal energy, which causes…

Normally the service life of quality LED underwater lights is more than 50,000 hours so you don't need to worry about the problem of lamp damage prematurely. In practice, however, there are many reasons why LED underwater lights can be damaged. Do you know how it happened? How to fix the problem and avoid making the same mistakes? This article will take you through these knowledge in detail. The performance of LED underwater lights after damage Different from traditional lights, when LED underwater lights have problems due to quality, production process and wrong use, in addition to not lighting up, it may also show that the brightness drops sharply((luminous decay), flicker, get water in or some of the LED chips do not light up. Damage to the LED chips, burning or short-circuiting of other electronic components may prevent the underwater light from illuminating. In the process of daily use, the brightness of LED lights will gradually decrease. This is the normal light decay phenomenon of LED lights, so do not need to worry too much. However, if the light decay occurs quickly, the lighting effect will decline faster, and the service life of the underwater lights will be greatly shortened. The lighting components of LED underwater lights are LED chips, and the power of a single LED chip is not large. In order to improve brightness, LED lights will integrate multiple LED chips at high density. When the underwater light damage first occurs, maybe most of the chips can still work normally, only a few chips can't emit light. The…
