The expert revealed the risks of using LED lamps

The inconsistencies identified by Roskachestvo experts in the study of LED lamps are dangerous for consumers. This was stated by Yulia Kochneva, Leman PRO's Director of quality, in an interview with Izvestia. The power factor, which none of the 20 tested samples match, is responsible for how efficiently the product converts electrical energy into light.

"Non—compliance of this indicator with the norms can lead to overheating of the wiring, premature wear and melting of the insulation, since with a low power factor, an overspending of electricity occurs," the expert warned.

If several lamps with a low power factor are switched on at the same time, an overload of the electrical network may occur and, as a result, a short circuit and a fire in the wiring, she added.

The indicator of light output, in turn, can contribute to exceeding the permissible load on the power grid, accelerated wear of the product, insufficient illumination and a feeling of discomfort when staying indoors for a long time, the editorial interlocutor listed.

"Another important parameter is the ripple coefficient. It shows how the brightness of the lamp's light changes over time. The higher this coefficient, the more noticeable the ripple is. The discrepancy between this parameter leads to fatigue and decreased concentration and headaches, as the pulsation of light overloads vision," explained Kochneva.
