What is Surge Protection, Overvoltage Protection and Undervoltage Protection?

Type Matters

Choosing the right SPD type is critical for effective surge protection in your installation.

Protection Level

Match the protection level to your system voltage, location, and exposure risk.

Standards Compliance

Ensure products meet relevant IEC, UL, and local electrical standards.

Provide all – around protection for your lighting system, illuminating every moment with a sense of safety!

Factors such as voltage excursion, surge risk, inrush current, and non-standard installation still threaten the stable operation and lifetime of LED lighting systems.How to effectively protect the lighting system and reduce the maintenance cost is the central issue for users.

Therefore, we have launched a new product SPD+ which combines three protections – overvoltage and undervoltage protection, and surge protection. It is specifically designed for LED lighting systems. It can provide a “comprehensive, reliable and intelligent ” protection solution for our clients.

Whether dealing with the complex electrical grid environment or withstanding the sudden surge risk, it can safeguard your LED lighting system, ensuring that every lamp can be stably lit and operate safely.
