LED (Light
Emitting Diodes) are
the latest and most exciting technological advancement in the lighting
industry. LEDs are small, solid light bulbs which are extremely energy
efficient and long lasting. LEDs operate differently than traditional
incandescent light bulbs. This makes LEDs far more rugged and durable than
traditional incandescent light bulbs. LED technology also offers many
additional advantages over incandescent, neon and compact fluorescent lighting
devices - such as exceptionally longer life span (60,000 hours), enormously lower energy usage (90% more efficient), reduced
maintenance costs and higher safety. LEDs are currently being used for a
wide variety of applications such as: residential lighting, aerospace,
architectural lighting, automotive, aviation,
broadcasting, electronic instrumentation, entertainment and gaming, industrial automation and controls, the military, traffic and safety & transportation.
Benefits of LED Lights
1. Efficiency
LEDs are extremely energy efficient and consume up to 90% less power
than incandescent bulbs. Since LEDs use only a fraction of the energy of
an incandescent light bulb there is a dramatic decrease in power
costs. Also, money and energy is saved in maintenance and replacement
costs due to the long LED lifespan.
2. Low-Voltage
A
low-voltage power supply is sufficient for LED illumination. This makes it easy
to use LED lighting also in outdoor settings, by connecting an external
solar-energy source and is a big advantage when it comes to using LED
technology in remote or rural areas.
3. Instant Lighting & Frequent Switching
LED
lights brighten up immediately and when powered on, which has great advantages
for infrastructure projects such as e.g traffic and signal lights.In contrast,
traditional lighting may take several seconds to reach full brightness, and
frequent on/off switching does drastically reduce operational life expectancy.
4. Ecologically Friendly
LED
lights are free of toxic chemicals. Most conventional fluorescent lighting
bulbs contain a multitude of materials like e.g mercury that are dangerous for
the environment.
5. Color
LED lights are offered in a variety of base colors such as
Red, Green, Blue and Amber. Because traditional incandescent light bulbs
use filters to produce colors, they are extremely inefficient. LEDS can be
blended together to produce millions of color options
