The four main advantages of LEDs are the following:
- Increased lifetime from 50,000 up to 100,000 hours of operation
- LEDs are highly energy efficient. LEDs are capable to reach 140 lumen/Watt
- LEDs transmit very low or negligible amount of heat

What makes LEDs more advantageous over other light source technologies?
Saturday, January 30th, 2010What is the definition of an LED?
Saturday, January 30th, 2010The LED stands for lighting emitting diode. The LED is an electromagnetic light source. In more detail the LED is a semiconductor diode that when is switched on (forward bias), electrons are able to recombine with free holes and energy is transmitted as light. This phenomenon is called electroluminescence and the semi-conductor’s energy gap determines the color of the light.
When is the use of LED’s most cost effective?
Saturday, January 30th, 2010LEDs are most cost effective whenever there is a need for 24hr-12hr lighting. In simple terms, this assumption is based on the 50,000 hours of usage guarantee that leading LED manufacturers give for their products.
Switch to LED lighting for CO2 emission reductions
Monday, January 25th, 2010LEDs are a reasonably new and exciting generation of lighting because they hit a number of issues such as, energy saving, reduced maintenance and recyclability.
- Light output equivalent to lamps being replaced
- No hazardous material and easy recyclability
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Long life – upto 20 times longer life than conventional lamps
