LED
Illumination
LED lighting offers excellent light
quality for both indoor and outdoor uses. It takes 50 incandescent light bulbs
or 8 CFL’s to equal the lifespan of 1 LED light bulb. LED light emits 90% less
heat than a conventional bulb therefore producing more light than heat and
gaining maximum energy efficiency.
An LED light is the bi-product of
electricity jumping between two different alloys. This produces a small amount
of light and depending upon the alloys, the color is dictated. LED light is
truly a solid state light as there are no gases, no filaments and no moving
parts to fatigue.
Benefits in using LED Technology
Environmentally Friendly:
They are made from non-toxic materials and can be
recycled.
Long Lifetime:
an incandescent has a life of about 1000 hours, a
halogen about 2000 hours and an LED can last about 50,000 hours.
Durable:
LEDs are able to withstand extreme temperatures,
magnetic environments and there are no moving parts. Save money & energy: As a
rule, an LED consumes less than 0.1 watts to operate. No Heat Output: LED's
create a very efficient light source as they convert almost all the energy used
into light.
