As energy problems emerge, high-efficiency lighting devices that can replace conventional lighting are required to save energy, and among them, LED (light emitting diode) lighting has begun to emerge as the next-generation lighting. Since LED has low power, high efficiency, long lifetime, and fast response speed, it is suitable to replace existing lighting such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and halogen lamps. The present study proposes safety of household appliances to prevent a degraded replacement effect due to excessive luminous flux of an LED lamp that replaces a bending-type fluorescent lamp (FPL), to prevent excessive design investment for manufacturers by providing appropriate optical reference values, to identify safety issues during the installation of AC power direct LED lamps, and to standardize the optimal power supply method that can be fixed by using the LED lamp based on external converters and the LED lamp for fluorescent lamp replacement. 1.
