Advantages of LEDs

[greencat]

There has been a lot of talk about LED lighting over the last couple of years. Manufacturers originally made claims that these lights would last 100,000’s of hours and quickly they discovered that this was in fact not the case. Most high quality LED products are rated to 50,000 hours but the truth is that by the time the light fitting has reach half of this usage, it will not be radiating nearly as much light or even the same colour light as it originally did.

Claims that you could (affordably) replace a standard down light with a LED and still achieve the same amount of light were also made and quickly retracted. The reality is that LED lights will play a major role in the future of the residential lighting industry. This is because high-quality LED's will last many thousands of hours - long enough to conclude that you will get "a lifetime of use out of each fitting". They will also use considerably less energy than halogen down lights.

There are fantastic fixtures available on our website that offer low energy and zero maintenance solutions. Good examples of this type of fitting would be outdoor spike lights and deck lights, reading lights, picture lights, step and passage way lighting. LED lighting is very well suited to outdoor use because they will provide many years of maintenance free usage. Therefore, the fittings don't need to be opened to change globes and the risk of compromising watertight seals is reduced. In addition, LED lights do not generate a lot of heat and so they are immune to the "Siphoning Effect" that has plagued the traditional outdoor halogen fittings (standard halogen globes generate extreme heat and so when they are used outdoors they are prone to the "Siphoning Effect" whereby moisture is sucked into the fitting through any compromised seals or cabling as the light fitting cools down).Also, the other advantage of LEDs is that it is not over heating like halogen or incandescent globes. It can easily be used indoor or outdoor and be possibly the last bulb you’ll ever buy.

Hi,

Advantages of LEDs

Small SIZES

A single LED is very small and produces little light overall. However, this weakness is actually its strength. LEDs can be combined in any shape to produce desired lumen packages as the design goals and economics permit.

Long Life, minimal maintenance

Some LEDs are projected to produce a long service life of about 100,000 hours.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY: SAVE UP TO 90% ON ENERGY COSTS

LEDs are highly efficient. Various estimates of potential energy savings range from 82% to 93%.

Reduced heat development

LEDs produce little heat, which makes it child friendly lighting.

Durable

LEDs are highly rugged. They feature no filament that can be damaged due to shock and vibrations.

NO UV- AND IR-EMISSIONS

LEDs produce no UV radiation and little heat, making them ideal for illuminating objects, such as works of art, that are sensitive to UV light.

Other benefits

Other benefits of LEDs include: instant lighting (no startup time; ideal for digital controlling), can be easily dimmed, operates silent and uses low-voltage power supplies (increased safety).
