Built-in soft starter

Solution to current spike when activating LED lights with soft start

When we activate an LED system, a current spike is triggered in the first few milliseconds.

 

In this short time, the power supply is faced with the task of building up the load and supplying the necessary power.

 

This initial phenomenon can create stresses in the system, affecting its stability and sometimes causing unwanted outages.

Gradual start-up

To address this challenge, a key solution has emerged: LED soft-start systems.

 

Unlike conventional ignition that requires immediate power delivery, this approach adopts a more gradual strategy.

 

During the first few milliseconds, the power supply delivers power to the light-emitting diodes (LEDs) progressively, thus avoiding sudden current peaks.

Stability and elimination of interruptions

The benefits of this approach are significant. Firstly, system stability is guaranteed. 

 

The gradual delivery of power contributes to a smooth and controlled ignition, even in situations where multiple sources are connected to the mains. 

 

In addition, the implementation of LED lights with soft-start plays a very important role in eliminating interruptions.  

 

By avoiding initial overload, the chances of failure are reduced and overall system durability is improved. 

Preventing glare in LED lighting

An additional, but no less important aspect is the elimination of glare when switching on the system.

 

The smooth transition provided by soft start creates a more comfortable environment with uniform and safe illumination for users, especially in situations with sensitive lighting conditions.

 

Integrating soft-start into LED systems not only effectively addresses the challenges associated with initial peak current, but also improves stability, reduces interruptions, controls luminous intensity and creates a smoother and more efficient lighting environment.

The benefits of integrated soft start

Integrated soft start in Actilum lighting systems represents a key innovation with significant benefits. This gradual approach to activating LED lights brings advantages that go beyond simply eliminating the initial current spike. Here we explore the key benefits of this technology: 

Improved stability

Soft start ensures a smooth transition by delivering power gradually. This approach avoids sudden current spikes, contributing to improved stability in the lighting system. Users enjoy a controlled start-up without unpleasant surprises.

Reduced interruptions

By avoiding instantaneous power load, soft start minimises interruptions in system operation. This reduction in failures provides a more reliable and sustainable lighting experience, especially in environments with multiple sources connected to the mains.

High durability

Smooth start-up not only benefits stability, but also contributes to overall system durability. The elimination of harsh impacts on the lighting system reduces wear and tear on components, thus prolonging service life and optimising long-term performance.

More comfortable lighting environment

The gradual transition provided by soft start creates a more comfortable lighting environment for users. The absence of glare on activation improves visual comfort and light intensity, especially in situations where sensitive lighting is crucial.

Energy efficiency

By delivering power progressively, unnecessary power peaks are avoided, contributing to a more efficient management of energy consumption. This sustainable approach not only improves system efficiency, but also supports responsible energy practices.

Our objective, to find solutions.

At Actilum, we seek innovative lighting solutions that optimise system performance.

 

We persist in the continuous search for solutions that strengthen stability, minimise disruption and provide smoother illumination.

 

This commitment is the foundation of our dedication to excellence and efficiency in the lighting industry.

 

Integrated soft start goes beyond solving initial challenges; it offers an advanced lighting experience that translates into improved stability, durability, comfort and energy efficiency.

 

In our constant pursuit of excellence, this innovative technology reflects our commitment to providing superior and tailored lighting solutions that are sustained on the basis of functionality and sustainability.
