Why use LEDs as your light source? Here are some
of the key benefits.
Robust
& Shock Resistant
LEDs are solid state devices which have no filaments or glass
tubes to break.
Long
Life
Depending on the type, typical life for an LED can be 50,000
hours (5 years+) to 100,000 hours (11 years+) continuous
operation.
Energy
Efficient
LED’s do not waste energy as a filament does which has to be
first heated until white hot to emit light.
Low
Voltage
LEDs can operate from as little as 5 volts but can easily be
configured to work from a wide range of voltages to suit
specific designs or available power supplies.
No
Colour Fade
An LED is designed to emit a specific wavelength of light. This
is defined in the LED manufacturing process, they do not rely on
coloured filters or gels to produce a specific colour which
could fade over time.
Fit
and Forget
LED’s are low maintenance devices and require no servicing
during their life.
Simple
Installation
LED’s don’t require any special driver circuits, starters,
chokes or inverters to operate. They are fully dimmable and can
be controlled with simple electronics.
Wide
Range of Colours
The basic LED colours are Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange and
White. Within each colour we can offer a range of shades.
Slimline
Design
LEDs are physically smaller than many traditional light sources
and allow unobtrusive slimline designs to be made.
Sealed
Units
LEDs do not need to be changed as with fluorescent or filament
bulbs so there is no need for a bulb holder / fitting or the
need to make the enclosure accessible for changing the bulb.
This simplifies product design as the unit can simply be potted
in a clear resin to seal the unit. This also makes the unit
tamperproof and more vandal resistant.
