Diffuse Reflective Strip VS LED Module: The Revolutionary Upgrade of Light Box Lighting
Diffuse Reflective Strip VS LED Module: The Revolutionary Upgrade of Light Box Lighting
Guangzhou Subway Platform
Triple optical design effectively eliminates glare, while also enhancing modular installation efficiency by 80%. The cost of 5-year comprehensive services has been reduced by 40%. Diffuse Reflective technology is redefining the industry standard for advertising light boxes.
As the core carrier of brand exposure, the lighting quality of advertising light boxes directly affects the advertising effect and operation cost. Traditional LED modules have long dominated the market, but in recent years, diffuse reflective light bars have become the preferred solution for high-end light boxes. This is due to their revolutionary optical design and subversive installation efficiency. In this article, we begin by conducting a technical comparison and examining real-world scenarios to determine how the diffuse reflector light bar addresses critical industry challenges.
Firstly, let's look at the technical advantages: this product has four dimensions that go well beyond those of the LED module.
1. Optical performance: goodbye to the “ribs”, restore the true color
a: Uniformity enhancement
The diffuse reflective strip is incorporated into the optical design, which is three times the size. The LED chip is sourced from OSRAM, Epistar, Nissho, and other brands. The innovative three-times optical design (LED chip 'OSRAM, Epistar, Risun, and other brands' - lens - reflector) achieves 175 degrees of wide-angle light. The light scattered by the nano-PC material eliminates the inherent dark and light stripes (ribs) of the LED magic, enhancing the uniformity of the screen by more than 30%.
b: Leading health indicators
The color rendering index must be greater than 90 (typically, the module is less than 85). The color tolerance should be less than 5. The reproduction of brand colors must be accurate. The UGR glare value must be less than 16 (much lower than the upper limit of the European Union Healthy Lighting Standards, 19). This is to avoid discomfort to the human eye.
2. Installation and maintenance: revolutionising efficiency and halving costs
Indicators | Diffuse Reflective Strip | LED Module |
|---|---|---|
Time to install 10m² | 2 people/hour (magnetic/snap splicing) | 6 people/hour (spot welding) |
Ease of maintenance | Single modular replacement | Full panel rework required |
Waterproof | IP65-IP68 | IP65 |
Indicators | Diffuse Reflective Strip | LED Module | Client Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
Installation cost for 10m² | EUR 200 | EUR 500 | Save cost by 60% |
Number of maintenance visits in 5 years | 1 time | 10 times | Save EUR 800 |
Energy consumption（year/m²) | 80 kWh | 100 kWn | Save EUR 24 |
The aluminium substrate is designed to dissipate heat effectively during the hand-welding process, ensuring a lifespan of 50,000 hours with a light decay rate of less than 5%. This product is particularly well-suited to the demanding conditions of the European summer, including high heat, coastal humidity and high salt spray, making it an ideal solution for outdoor applications.
3. Energy saving and environmental protection: full-spectrum technology to reduce costs and increase efficiency
a: Reduce energy consumption by 15%: The elegant direct-connection design (AC110V/220V) reduces power conversion loss and is more suitable for solar systems than low-voltage modules.
b: Spectral healthiness: Full-spectrum technology utilises cyan phosphor to absorb blue light, thereby reducing the percentage of harmful blue light by 40%, in accordance with the EU ErP directive.
4. Scene adaptability: From ultra-thin light boxes to curved structures
a: Ultra-thin design: It is possible to reduce the thickness to 3 cm, provided that the wide-angle lens is used to minimise the density of the cloth lamps. However, it is essential that the module remains greater than 6 cm.
b: Flexible bending: The high-voltage flexible strip is able to flex up to 90 degrees, making it suitable for use in shaped light boxes. In comparison, the module's rigid PCB is not able to bend.
Secondly, let us turn our attention to the actual case: the successful verification of the European market.
Case 1: Health lighting upgrade to be installed in a Barcelona boutique hotel.
We have encountered the following issues:
- The traditional module has been the cause of customer complaints due to glare.
- Energy consumption has exceeded the standard, which could result in an EU fine.
Solution: The OSRAM full-spectrum diffuse reflective light bar (colour temperature 2700K-6500K, intelligent adjustment) features three optical designs to achieve UGR <16.
The project has yielded a 90% reduction in customer complaints, along with municipal energy-saving subsidies of 2,000 euros and a two-year return on capital.
Case 2: Madrid Metro Ultra-thin Light Box Project
Please be advised of the following issues: The installation thickness is only 5cm, and the module's heat dissipation is inadequate.
Solution: The OSRAM ultra-thin diffuse reflective light bar has a 4mm aluminium substrate and a power density of 18W/m2.
The effect of the new system is as follows:
- The brightness has been increased by 50%.
- The system has had zero failures for three years.
- Advertising revenue has increased by 20%.
Case 3: Temporary lightbox for use at Serbian festivals.
The key challenges are to facilitate rapid dismantling and installation for 7-day festivals, while also ensuring compliance with light pollution regulations to avoid any fines.
Solution: The product comprises a cuttable low-voltage light bar (50m cascade) and a 2700K low-blue light module with magnetic mounting.
The estimated time for the entire setup is two hours. The recycling rate is 100%, and there are no fines.
Finally, the irreversible replacement trend of diffuse reflector strips
Diffuse reflector strips are rapidly replacing LED modules due to three key advantages: optical revolution (elimination of streaks, full spectrum), efficiency improvement (modular installation) and ultra-long service life (IP68+aluminum heat dissipation).
