However, qualified products do not mean absoluteSafe, the installation, use environment and maintenance of lamps may affect their safety. For example, overly dense lighting arrangements may cause poor heat dissipation, leading to fires; poor-quality power cables may also cause short circuits and fires; and lack of regular inspection and maintenance will increase potential risks. Therefore, choose a reputable manufacturer and professional installer.teamCrucial.

To reduceLED The risk of lights causing fire can be addressed from the following aspects:

• Choose LED lamps that meet national standards: Ensure that the product has relevant certification marks.
• Correct installation and layout:Avoid overcrowding of lamps to ensure good heat dissipation.

The fire department's report at the time pointed out that the circuit inside the lamp was aging and short-circuited, causing the temperature to be too high and causing the fire. This incident made me deeply realize that even seemingly safe LED lamps still have certain fire risks. This is not an isolated case. According to statistics from the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, in recent years, fires caused by lamp failures haveLED The proportion of lamps is gradually increasing, although it is still lower thanTraditionLamps, but worthy of our attention.
