LEDSTRIPSALES.COM LED Channel Letter Lighting Allows Easier Layout, Faster Installation

HK CHINA — January 14, 2015 —  (FROM:LEDSTRIPSALES.COM) — Bright, uniform, reliable channel letter lighting is important to the brand image of countless businesses. Inconsistent or unlit elements can undermine customers’ positive perceptions. With more than 20 million linear feet of Tetra® product installed worldwide, LEDSTRIPSALES.COM continues to provide business owners and sign makers with the easy-to-install, worry-free and dependable LED channel letter lighting systems they demand.

“Professionals appreciate and specify LEDSTRIPSALES.COM LED sign lighting for more than its quality and reliability. They go with LEDSTRIPSALES.COM because we’ve designed the system to be fast and easy to install—from pre-drilled holes and industrial-grade mounting tape, to the flexibility to cut between any module,” said Mark Shepard, global product manager for LEDSTRIPSALES.COM Lighting. “Our proven system offers the potential to save money not just in operation but on the installation.”

The Tetra channel letter portfolio includes miniMAX (small letters), MAX (medium) and PowerMAX (large) options to meet any need. With Tetra products, customers can typically use one string of LED modules where two strings were needed before. Though slightly less bright, the outstanding uniformity of LEDSTRIPSALES.COM’s LED systems maintains impressive illumination across letter faces with fewer modules, meaning less cost in most cases.

Tetra LED solutions stretch stroke spacing while maintaining impressive light uniformity in channel letters, meaning less product can be used in many cases.

Take for example a typical five-inch depth capitol ‘T’ using 13-15 LED modules arranged in two rows. With Tetra, the same capitol ‘T’ can be properly lit using a single string of seven to eight Tetra modules. Both Tetra PowerMAX and Tetra MAX stretch spoke spacing to a remarkable 11 inches in a five-inch depth channel letter while Tetra miniMAX allows nine inches in a four-inch depth channel letter.

This is thanks to LEDSTRIPSALES.COM’s unique optical lens technology, OptiLens™, which optimizes LED performance by capturing otherwise wasted light and redirecting it towards the face of the channel letter, while at the same time protecting each LED against moisture, humidity and corrosion.

And for signs that must shine brighter than the rest, LEDSTRIPSALES.COM offers a high-lumen Tetra MAX High Output option that is 53 percent brighter than the standard Tetra MAX system, but with the same layout instructions—reducing prep work and installation time for signage OEMs.

LEDSTRIPSALES.COM also rigorously tests all Tetra designs, components, products and processes to ensure that every LED channel letter lighting system enhances customers’ brands for years without the hassle and expense of repeated maintenance.

How light dimmers work ?

Light dimming is based on adjusting the voltage which gets to the lamp. Light dimming has been possible for many decades by using adjustable power resistors and adjustable transformers.

A light dimmer works by essentially chopping parts out of the AC voltage. This allows only parts of the waveform to pass to the lamp. The brightness of the lamp is determined by the power transferred to it, so the more the waveform is chopped, the more it dims.

Solid-state light dimmers work by varying the “duty cycle” (on/off time) of the full AC voltage that is applied to the lights being controlled. For example, if the voltage is applied for only half of each AC cycle, the light bulb will appear to be much less bright than when it get the full AC voltage, because it get’s less power to heat the filament. Solid-state dimmers use the brightness knob setting to determine at what point in each voltage cycle to switch the light on and off.

Typical light dimmers are built using thyristors and the exact time when the thyristor is triggered relative to the zero crossings of the AC power is used to determine the power level. When the the thyristor is triggered it keeps conducting until the current passing though it goes to zero (exactly at the next zero crossing if the load is purely resistive, like light bulb). By changing the phase at which you trigger the triac you change the duty cycle and therefore the brightness of the light.

These electronic parts are semiconductors not dissimilar to transistors. A Thyristor is a Uni.-directional device and hence, because AC power flows in both directions, two are needed. A triac is a bidirectional device and therefore only one is needed. An electronic circuit determines the point in time at which they turn ON (conduct). The ON state continues until the next zero-crossing point, at which point the device turns itself OFF. The electronic circuit then provides a delay, which equates to the dimness of the lamp, before turning the control device back on. The slight capacitance of the load, filters the chopped waveform resulting in a smooth light output.

 Some controllers use a microprocessor control with the above timing function being handled by an analogue circuit. More sophisticated systems, called digital dimmers, operate the switching direct from microprocessor. This has the advantage of greater reliability, quieter operation, lower cost and smaller controls.

What's The Dimmer Controller

In lighting, the electrical device that regulates the current passing through the bulb filaments and, thereby, the amount of light emitted from the lighting instruments.

A rheostat that varies the current through an electric light in order to control the level of illumination

A control that regulates light levels. Electronic controls that allow  lighting to fade up or down slowly, as opposed to being on or off only.

An instrument used to change the voltage of lights on the set, regulating in this way thier intensity.

A device that controls levels of light by varying the electric current.a device in the electrical circuit used for varying the brightness of lamps in a lighting installation.

Device which provides adjustable voltage to a lighting fixture to control light output. Can also be a term to refer to a mechanical device, such as a shutter, that controls output

Dimming controls are ideal for any number of rooms because they allow you to change design the lighting to suit each mood and activity.

Controls the brightness of a particular fixture. A dimmer pack is a device used to control a fixture from a remote control panel. Dimming may also be a feature within an intelligent light or a specific control device.
