What should I do if the LED flood light enters the water?

Sep 05, 2022

LED floodlights installed outdoors, with the passage of time, the material aging or the lamp body is damaged, there will be a problem of water entering the lamp. What should I do if the outdoor floodlight enters the water?

When it is found that the floodlight has entered the water, the first thing to do is to check the flooded part of the lamp. Different parts of the water have different treatment methods. High-power LED floodlights are generally divided into two parts: the light-emitting surface on the front of the lamp and the drive box behind the lamp body.

If the floodlight only has water on the luminous surface and the lamp can be used normally, turn off the power and remove the lamp, then remove the tempered glass on the surface of the lamp, and drain the water to dry.

If the light-emitting surface of the lamp does not turn on when water enters the lamp, after removing the lamp, use an instrument to check whether the drive and power supply of the lamp is normal. If the drive is normal, it means that the water has penetrated into the aluminum substrate, causing the lamp to die. At this time, it is recommended to return the lamp to the floodlight manufacturer for maintenance.

The drive box is flooded with water, but the light-emitting surface of the lamp body is not flooded. It is recommended to remove the lamp and drain the water before replacing it with a new drive power supply. In order to avoid the problem that the lamp does not light up due to damage to the drive.

When it is found that the LED floodlight has entered the water, it must not be left alone. The completely sealed environment is easy to form water accumulation inside the lamp. Long-term exposure to a humid environment in the lamp will accelerate the aging of the lamp and the probability of driver damage, which will greatly reduce the service life of the lamp. Therefore, such problems should be detected and dealt with early. For more solutions to the application problems of floodlights, you can consult the floodlight manufacturer Xinyuanhui Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. for details.
