High-Efficiency IoT Radar Light Tube for Underground Garage Lighting

High-Efficiency IoT Radar Light Tube Underground Garage Lighting

 Shenzhen Langte Technology Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of high-efficiency IoT radar light tubes. In the field of underground garage lighting, high-efficiency IoT radar light tubes are becoming the ideal choice for improving lighting quality and reducing energy consumption due to their outstanding performance.

I. Product Highlights

(I) High Energy Efficiency

The light tube adopts advanced LED technology with a power rating typically around 8W, offering significant energy savings compared to traditional 36W fluorescent lamps, which can greatly reduce garage lighting electricity costs. For example, in an underground garage with 100 light fixtures, replacing traditional fluorescent lamps with these IoT radar light tubes—assuming 12 hours of daily use—can save approximately [(36 - 8) × 12 × 100 × 365 ÷ 1000] × 0.5 = 6,132 yuan per year (calculated at 0.5 yuan per kWh), resulting in considerable long-term energy savings.

(II) Smart Motion Sensing and Dimming

Equipped with a high-sensitivity radar motion sensor module, it accurately detects the movement of vehicles and pedestrians in the garage. When a moving object enters the sensing range (typically 6–10 meters), the light tube quickly switches from low-power standby mode to full brightness, providing ample illumination. After the object leaves, following a set delay time (usually adjustable between 15–30 seconds), it automatically returns to low-brightness standby, reducing unnecessary lighting time, further saving energy, and avoiding frequent on/off switching that could affect the tube’s lifespan.

(III) High Luminous Efficacy Output

With a luminous efficacy of up to 180–200 lm/W, it delivers bright light at low power, ensuring uniform illumination across all garage areas without noticeable dark spots. A color rendering index (CRI) of ≥80 accurately reproduces object colors, helping drivers clearly identify vehicles, parking spaces, and the surrounding environment, thereby enhancing driving and parking safety.

(IV) IoT Remote Management and Control

Leveraging IoT technology, it supports remote management. Property management personnel can use a mobile app or computer-based management platform to group, schedule on/off times, and adjust dimming for all light tubes in the garage. They can also monitor the real-time working status of the tubes, such as fault alerts and energy consumption analysis, facilitating timely maintenance and rational electricity planning, thereby improving management efficiency.

(V) Long Lifespan and Stability

Utilizing high-quality LED chips and electronic components, combined with effective heat dissipation design, the light tube has a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours under normal use. This reduces maintenance costs associated with frequent replacements and minimizes disruptions to garage operations. It also adapts to a wide temperature range of -20°C to +55°C, ensuring strong stability.

II. Usage Instructions

(I) Pre-Installation Preparation

1. Confirm product specifications and quantity: Based on the garage lighting layout, verify the required light tube specifications (e.g., length, power) and quantity to ensure accuracy.

1. Prepare installation tools: Common tools include screwdrivers, wrenches, electric drills, insulating tape, and wires.

1. Turn off the power: For safety, always turn off the main power supply to the garage lighting circuit before installation.

(II) Installation Steps

1. Remove old light tubes (if applicable): Carefully unscrew or unplug the old fluorescent tubes, remove accompanying ballasts, starters (if applicable), and clean the mounting brackets.

1. Install brackets (optional): If new brackets are needed, determine fixing points on the ceiling or walls according to the light tube length, drill holes with an electric drill, and secure the brackets with expansion screws to ensure stability.

1. Connect wires: Connect the mains live wire (L) and neutral wire (N) to the light tube’s terminal block, tighten the screws to ensure good contact, and pay attention to polarity (some tubes are non-polarized). Use insulating tape to wrap connections if necessary.

1. Install the light tube: Snap the IoT radar light tube into the bracket slots or lamp holder, ensuring both ends are securely connected to the bracket. For suspended installation, prepare hanging ropes, hooks, and other accessories in advance, and fix them at the designed height.

(III) Debugging and Settings

1. Power-on test: After installation, turn on the power and observe whether the light tube lights up normally, without flickering or abnormal illumination. If the tube does not light up, immediately cut the power and check the wiring connections and for any damage to the tube.

1. Sensor function debugging: Walk within the tube’s sensing range or simulate vehicle movement to test the sensitivity and response speed, ensuring the tube switches on and off promptly. Adjust parameters such as sensing distance and delay time via the tube’s built-in adjustment buttons or a配套 remote control based on actual usage scenarios.

1. IoT connection: For remote management, follow the product manual to connect the light tube to the garage’s wireless network (Wi-Fi or Bluetooth Mesh, etc.), add the device to the management platform, complete pairing and settings, and then remotely control the tube.

(IV) Daily Use and Maintenance

1. Normal use: Once installed and debugged, the light tube operates automatically according to the set mode without additional operation. However, property personnel should regularly inspect the tubes to ensure proper lighting.

1. Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly (recommended every 3–6 months) wipe the tube surface with a clean, soft cloth to remove dust, maintaining good light transmission and improving illumination. Avoid using organic solvents to prevent damage to the tube housing.

1. Troubleshooting: If the tube malfunctions, such as not lighting up, staying on constantly, or sensor failure, first check the power supply and wiring connections, then review if incorrect settings are the cause. If unresolved, contact product after-sales service for technical support and repair.

High-efficiency IoT radar light tubes bring an efficient, smart, and energy-saving new experience to underground garage lighting. Proper installation and usage can fully leverage their advantages, creating a high-quality lighting environment
