Why use LED

Light Emitting Diode technologies have many advantages over traditional light fixtures which is why they are being used in so many new projects, from architectural accents to retail spaces.

Extremely Long Life

LEDs have a functional lifetime far superior to more traditional lighting technologies. An LED can last from 30,000 to 100,000 hours, almost 50 times longer than most incandescent light sources (2000 hours) or up to 10 times longer than fluorescent sources (10,000 hours).

Efficiency

Compared to conventional lighting systems, LEDs consume less energy, emit little heat, and operate at a low wattage without sacrificing performance. High performance LED optics can drastically increase fixture efficiency whereas incandescent and fluorescent sources often require external reflectors to collect the produced light and direct it in a usable manner.

Unsurpassed color benefits

LEDs utilize a simple RGB color mixing approach that enables them to produce millions of different colors by simply adjusting the intensity of each grouping of red, green or blue device. The colors they produce can be highly saturated, at a variety of color temperatures. Additionally, when dimming LEDs the color tone is not changed while the current passing through them is lowered, unlike incandescent lamps, which produce a yellowing color. LEDs emit no ultra-violet or infrared radiation, which makes them perfect for museums and galleries.

Form factor Due to the extremely small size of LEDs, fixture designs can be drastically smaller than conventional lighting alternatives. This open up a world of creative solutions and installation options for lighting designs. The solid state technology of LEDs also makes them shock and vibration resistant.

LED lighting solutions offer major cost benefits over their conventional counterparts thanks to low energy consumption, long life and low maintenance.

? More efficient than incandescent

? Incandescent bulbs have the lowest efficiency of all conventional lighting sources because a major portion of its radiation (emitted energy) appears in the infra-red (IR) region of the spectrum.

? By contrast, almost all of the energy in an LED radiates within the visible spectrum, therefore LEDs can produce far more light per watt.

Low maintenance equals long-term cost savings

Savings due to reduced maintenance are significant, and can be a leader in cost savings when replacement is difficult or expensive.

Energy consumption at the root of environmental concerns as the majority of green house gases come from power stations. Using efficient light sources is key to conservation and sustainability.
