LED lamp

An LED luminaire is understood to be the complete system consisting of the LED module and its surrounding mechanical, electrical, photometric and heat dissipating components. Specifications for LED modules are specified by the Zhaga industry consortium. The specifications address the electrical, mechanical, photometric and thermal characteristics of the various LED modules, making them comparable and interchangeable.

As far as the electrical properties of LED luminaires are concerned, they deal with the supply voltages, grounding and control voltage. The mechanical interfaces determine the shape, dimensions and lamp base. The photometric interface determines the luminous efficacy, light color, light distribution and illumination level. And the thermal interface describes the combination of light emitting diode and heat sink.

Zhaga has divided the LED lights into different types that are conceptually different. So far, there are the LED lights in which the LED modules and LED drivers form a single unit, and the LED lights in which the two components are separated from each other.

In LED lights, Zhaga distinguishes between a wide variety of designs and shapes. According to the Zhaga specifications, there is the compact LED luminaire with base connection and integrated control electronics, the flat version of an LED luminaire for street lighting, interior lighting with separate control electronics, LED luminaires with base connection and LED spotlights. There is also a direct replacement for incandescent lamps in the form of the LED filament lamp.

Especially for smart homes, which are illuminated by means of smartlighting, there is the smart bulb, which can be controlled via smartphones.
