Why Choose LED Lighting

 LEDs emit more light per watt than incandescent bulbs. Their efficiency is not affected by shape and size, ensuring improved luminous efficacy.

• LEDs today publish lifetime specifications of 50,000 hours and higher. Fluorescent and incandescent counterparts typically are rated at about 10,000 and 1,000 hours, respectively.
• Because LED lights are solid state devices they tend to be more reliable and longer lived than various competitive technologies.
• The long life of LED lights help to justify the higher initial costs by reducing maintenance costs.
• Because of the special equipment and/or personnel required, replacing streetlights or tunnel lights can be rather expensive. Utilizing long life LED’s reduces the need for high priced maintenance.
   

LEDs can emit light of an intended color without using any color filters as traditional lighting methods need. Control of color with LEDs is greatly enhanced over other lighting methods. This is particularly useful in stage lighting, architectural lighting, signs and displays.

While fluorescent lighting is fairly efficient, it does not operate well in cold environments. This rules out fluorescent lighting for outdoor applications in cold climates. Fluorescent lighting is also problematic for use in walk-in freezers or cold storage warehouses. LEDs actually operate more efficiently in cold temperatures. In contrast to other light sources, LEDs radiate very little heat in the form of IR that can cause damage to sensitive objects or fabrics. Wasted energy is dispersed as heat through the base of the LED.

Low Toxicity of LED Lighting products ensures green energy and RoHS compliance.

Unlike traditional light sources, LEDs are semi-conductor devices. Incandescent, fluorescent and high intensity discharge lamps are all based on glass enclosures filled with various gasses. These lamps contain a filament and are coated with a range of materials.

• Not only more energy efficient, LEDs are more environmentally friendly as well.
• LED lights comply with the RoHS initiative.
• Most other lighting technologies including CFL, HPS and Metal Halide contain mercury and/or lead.
   

1. Small Size = DESIGN FLEXIBILITY: LEDs can be very small (smaller than 2mm) and are easily populated onto printed circuit boards. This allows for a great deal of flexibility and design innovation.
2. Shock/ Vibration Resistant: LEDs, being solid state components, are difficult to damage with external shock, unlike florescent and incandescent bulbs.
3. No Bugs: Unlike traditional lighting, LED lighting does not attract Outdoor insects and therefore is much cleaner to operate outdoors.
4. More Benefits: Other benefits include reduced failure, instant start up, easy dimming, focused light, and suitability for cold temperatures.
