Surge Protectors Essential for LED Lights System

A surge is when the voltage in a circuit suddenly and briefly exceeds a specified level. This voltage peak, also called a transient or surge, can be caused by a variety of factors, including lightning strikes, grid switching operations, circuit overloads, or damage to wires and circuits. The increase in voltage can be very rapid, usually within a few microseconds, and is usually characterized by a rapid and brief rise in potential.

When an LED lighting fixture or system encounters a surge in the circuit, the excessive voltage passes through the connected devices within the system, causing irreversible damage to the entire lighting system.

Installation Location & Recommended SPD Types

Installed on control systems and communication lines.

Installed on power input.

Installed inside LED drivers and lamps.

Type 1 SPD is installed at the main power entry point, like a building’s main distribution cabinet. It protects against high-energy surges from direct lightning, ideal for areas with frequent thunderstorms or high lightning risk.

Type 2 SPD is placed at secondary panels or lamp post bases. It mitigates surges from indirect lightning or switching operations, suitable for urban streets and residential environments.
