Tunnel lighting is a critical component of transportation infrastructure that ensures the safe and efficient movement of vehicles. On some occasions, a dual-output tunnel light is required, which provides two levels of illumination. In this article, we will discuss the reasons for using dual-output tunnel lights, their benefits, and how to make dual-output tunnel light solutions.
1, Reasons for Dual-Output of Tunnel LightsWe may have noticed that there are some traditional tunnel lights that consist of two lights. One of the primary reasons for using dual-output lamps in tunnels is to ensure safety during emergency situations. Tunnel lights are typically spaced a certain distance apart, and if one light goes out during operation, it can create a dangerous dark spot along the tunnel. By using dual-output lamps, which have two separate power supplier controlling each level of output, even if one power supply fails, the other can continue to function, ensuring that there is always a reasonable level of illumination in the tunnel. |
2, Benefits of Dual-Output Tunnel Lights
The use of dual-output lamps in tunnels provides several benefits, including:
- Improved Safety: The primary benefit of dual output tunnel lights is improved safety. Even if one power source fails, the other can continue to provide illumination, ensuring that drivers can see where they are going and avoid accidents.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Since dual-output lamps have two separate power sources, if one fails, it can be replaced or repaired without disrupting the entire system. This means that maintenance costs are reduced and the system can continue to operate without interruption.
- Better Energy Efficiency: Dual-output tunnel lights can be operated in a way that maximizes energy efficiency. During normal operating conditions, the lower output lamps can be used, reducing energy consumption and operating costs. During emergency situations, the higher output lamps can be turned on, ensuring that there is enough illumination to keep everyone safe.
3, How to make Dual Output Tunnel Lights
To design dual-output tunnel lights, the lamp board can be designed with two separate circuits, each controlled by a different power supply. For lamps with a wattage of 150 or less, a single module with two separate circuits can be used. However, for lamps with a wattage of over 150, two module lamps can be connected together, with each module controlled by a separate power source. This approach not only improves safety but also reduces maintenance costs and ensures that the lamps are always operating at their optimal capacity.
