Mount Easy LED module to wood frame

The main enemy for high power LED is heat. Our special design quickly dissipates heat from tiny LED chip to large area metal mounting plate; but the end game is still to spread heat out of this module to its surrounding, air in most cases.

If the application is to attach LED module to metal lamp case, then heat dissipation won't be a problem at all. So is to set it by itself that both sides of plate exposed to free air.

However, it's common desire that we want to attach this module to wood frame, which is easy mounting. The bad thing about it is that: Wood dissipates heat slowly, by attaching one side of LED module plate to wood, it's like cover 50% of heat sink area to stop heat transfer to air. That's bad and what can we do if we have to?

     Keep Air Flow
Below is an example how I attach our module to wood frame. I use screw nuts as spacer to keep air still get in touch with both sides of metal plate. Also it would be wise to mount the module to an airy location to keep cool. The result is good enough to sustain heat dissipation.

What do you think of this LED Wall box light?

Our latest design: Easy LED Box light.

This is a Wall mount low cost utility light box like picture shown at below.

 

Tradditional Wall mount box light use fluorescent tubes in utility light box.

This one is about 4' long and use 70 Watt of Power.

 

Our Prototype LED box light is 28" long, prototype made with one piece of corrugated paper and diffuser film. The light is consist of two Easy LED module with mounting hardware. Liht output is 32Watt, mostly point toward at below where needed. The structure is extremely simple

 

There are two piece of Easy LED modules mounted on a bracket, with driver at middle.

module is bent to point light output at 45 degree below; and made small wedges at top for easy insertion of lamp cover box

The box is extremely simple as well, diffuser film at front opening and another opening

at back for hang at top of module assembly

 

All you need to do is to install the light module assembly to Wall electricity box, connect the wires.

Then put light box cover on to the light module assembly, it just hang by gravity and its edge will

 

snag fit in between wall and the module plates. Then the light is ready for use

LED panel Light

LED panel light is a flat panel that generates soft uniform LED light output. It usually come in with area size compatible to fluorescent Troffer ceiling light.  Unlike troffer lamp, LED panel lamp usually thick within 2" vs 5" thick of troffer lamp.
There are two ways to build LED panel light.
One way is to use multiple smaller LED to setup a matrix to make evenly light area light source. With no or little diffuser panel, an area panel can emit light evenly. This method requires circuit running at entire panel area, so it suits smaller panel better.

The other method is to set powerful LED light source at edge of panel, then place special light diffuser plate at entire area. This diffuser panel has special cuts and groves to make light through it distributed evenly. This way, the costly LED circuit won't be very large, more suitable for larger panel. However, this kind of diffuser plate won't be very thin and weights a little bit, and a reflective film at back to make sure light only come out at front. Since some light output is reflective light, so its usable lux per wattage is lower than other directional LED light applications.

Easy LED introduces new low 2015 price right now

It's just summer of 2014 right now; yet Easy LED Lighting has introduced its new low 2015 price. Compare to 2014 price, the prices are about 15% lower.
LED lighting uses less energy, generates less heat and last much longer
Their products include new style LED shoplight, LED converting kit.

LED Lamp can be even more pretty

I met this artist Holly Peters, she has a thing about making things more beautiful. By looking at photo at our Kickstarter project, she had few ideas about making our lamp more pretty from a already distinctive looking lamp  such as:

So we met and I gave her a set of our World Lamp. This is the result of her work.

She did some paper carving and painting and put those small decorative item on the lamp shell, and that look nice.

But wait, that's not all. Wait till we turn on the light:

The aquarium scene of Under the Sea is more attractive with our blue lamp shell, nice.

How about your own design? For sure you can come out something is even more nicer.

Summer is coming, another reason to switch to LED lighting

Did you hear the true story happened in Europe after they banned selling of incandescent light bulb?    One guy put out ads to sell 100 Watt incandescent bulb and it was completely legal. How come? His ads reads "Electrical Heating Device". The Ads can't be more true, traditional incandescent bulb converts 5% energy into light; and 95% of energy into heat, quite a efficiency heating device.  
You may or may not know this: all your lighting device has a common byproduct that is heat.
At winter time, that's not a problem at all. just burning a little bit more electricity. At summer time, the heat can be quite annoying.
For example, My kitchen was using 4 T8 tubes in ceiling light, that's 140 watt of heat and light in total; but ultimately everything would come down to heat.  Later on I convert the light using 4 LED modules and that was 60 Watt. Weeks later, I feel the light is too much and took out one module and re-arrange the positions and that become 45Watts and I feel the light is just right. By doing so, I also trim off over 90 watt in heat. If we had to move energy using AC, we have to use more energy. That's quite an effort for Air Conditioner to move out during summer time.

LED light not only use less energy to light up, at summer time, it also require less AC effort to remain coolness.  That's double saving.

Should lamp weight a lot? (Earthquake safety)

Last week LA was hit by a magnitude 5.1 earthquake, we were just glade no one was killed or serious injured, then this week Chile was shook by a magnitude 8.2 earthquake. Thanks to strict building code, only few were killed in this earthquake despite its super strength.

I remember watching a video of simulated earthquake, everything was shacking, especial the hanging shop light style lamp in the middle of room. It started moving back and forth, suddenly one chain that leash one side of lamp broke, and the lamp just swam though the room, like a knife hang by its end, then fall on floor, smash into piece. Of course, that was a fluorescent shop light with glass tubes. With the power of simulated earthquake keep increasing, eventually cabinet, bookshelf all fall, making bigger mess; but I remember the lamp fixture was first one that broke out of control.

Why? a typical 4' long T8 fluorescent shop light weights nearly 10lbs, and they are hang high by two thin chains which give it waggle room to work on the damage. And after it fall, shattered glass can further do more damages.

Look at the traditional shop light design, sheet metal lamp shell, metal box ballast, long glass tubes, sounds like a trouble prone combination. and no wonder it has to weight so much. Do we really have to have all that to make light?
Here is our answer to that. Our World Lamp LED shop light is a 36" long shop light that illuminate as good as a 4 feet long two T8 fluorescent tube. Yet our lamp only weights 1 lb 10 oz. It can be hang by two small nails or thin chain/wires.

Illustration: World Lamp shop light hang by two thin metal wires

 And the lamp is made by safe material; it doesn't contain glass, mercury or any other dangerous material. Even when it does fall from high space, it wouldn't do much harm.
This is a nice lamp, low cost as lower than $50 per lamp. The price near a traditional fluorescent shop light , but it's LED light source, use about half of energy and will last much longer.
