World Lamp safety

How safe is World Lamp? When you put together the lamp shell, have you ever wonder this question? It's obvious that this lamp shell is not water tight, what if the fire alarm sounds and fire sprinkler starts? To see this video for yourself. Although this video may look funny, but make sure you don't do that at home. And this lamp is not designed for weather, so don't use it at outdoor.
As far as fire safety, all our lamps are running cool, much better than other brand of LED lamps, I can even touch it after it is turn on for a long time. Human skin can withstand about 60C or  140F. The fact I can hold my finger on the metal bracket says it's temperature is still below that.

Terrarium application

A customer use our light for his terrarium for rain forest frog. His site is FrogCube.



This customer use our easy LED light to replace his old LED tube. You can see the comparision at below pictures. On the left is our 45 watts Easy LED kit installed; on the right is a LED light tube. You can compare the brightness and color temperature.




Another photo with terrarium tank installed. Still compare to a LED tube on the right.
I do have concern about the 45Watt kit being too bright for this application, typical household fish tank or terrarium tank at 4' depth or less could use less driving power to match with household light, that's why we recommend 700mA driver for general household use at 4' distance; but this customer wants his tank to be very bright  and he shots photo and video at his setup. Our kit just works very well at natural white, closest to day light.  You can see his post at forum. I will add more photos at our blog as this customer update his site.
Nothing concludes better than this customer's own blog

"My final conclusion is these are great buy for anyone looking for an easy low profile solution for lighting rack of tanks, or one long tank. Not only are they bright and sure to keep all your plants healthy, they are also a nice 5000K white perfect for viewing your terrariums are taking photos of the tenants inside. And if you look at my light readings for the bottom of my tank, you’ll see there is plenty of light to record their activities."

Aquarium Light


We are also in process to develop Easy LED Aquarium Light set.
Our kit comes with a lower power level LED driver, and one to three Easy LED modules. The reason we use lower power driver is that typical fish tank has depth about 3 feet; unlike typical room application is shining down from 8 feet ceiling. Also lower power mean energy saving, this is especially important if you turn on the aquarium light 24 hrs a day. 
The mounting is easy.  just fit our module at top edge of cover with double sided tape; or place an overhang truss (eg. 1x2 wood) over fish tank and replace our module at top edge as below photos shown. Diffuser installation link.





Use 700mA (vs 1400mA) driver to deliver a softer light output than typically room lighting at 8' height or higher.

700mA also mean use less energy.

Kits safety

Below picture shows our driver and module work under water, Of course, that's not recommended. Our LED driver is rated IP67, which means it can work under water less than 1 meter deep.
The output of LED driver output is less than 24V DC, which is not hazard. The real dangerous part is the AC wires, just need to protect the AC wire and plug from water.
To place our lamp at damp places, there shouldn't be any problem.
