ledsæt

Led sæt, or ledsæt, is a term used to describe a kit of LED lighting components designed to provide illumination. A typical ledsæt includes multiple light-emitting diodes mounted on modules or strips, a power supply or LED driver, wiring and connectors, and mounting hardware. Ledsæt are marketed as convenient, energy-efficient lighting solutions for a range of applications, including automotive retrofits, bicycles, interior decor, signage, and outdoor installations.

Common forms of ledsæt include automotive LED kits, LED strip sets for indoor or outdoor use, bicycle light sets, and grow-light kits for plants. Key components are LED modules or strips, a driver (often a constant-current type), and sometimes a controller or dimmer. Some sets include housings, heat sinks, diffusers or lenses, and weatherproofing features. Power requirements vary by application, with 12 V DC typical for automotive kits and 24 V or lower for consumer strip sets. Many ledsæt are designed for easy installation and may offer IP-rated protection for outdoor use.

Standards and safety considerations are important for ledsæt. They should comply with relevant electrical standards and carry marks such as CE or UL where applicable. Proper installation requires attention to load capacity, correct polarity, heat dissipation, and, for outdoor or high-power use, adequate ingress protection. Inadequate heat management or mismatched drivers can shorten lifespan or cause failures.

Advantages of ledsæt include energy efficiency, long service life, and modularity, while limitations can involve color consistency, lumen depreciation over time, and the need for appropriate disposal at end of life. Ledsæt are commonly sold as ready-to-install kits with instructions, with professional installation recommended for vehicle or high-power applications.
