A few good reasons to choose LEDs

Economy. will show you how to reduce your future or current relamping costs with LED arrays that:

Last an average of 100,000 hours (or about ten years).
Withstand shocks, vibrations, frequent switching and temperature extremes that rapidly incapacitate fragile incandescent lamps.
Are 10 to 50 times more energy-efficient, thus reducing your operating costs by up to 90%.

Beauty. LEDs produce sharp, vibrant colors… even pure white. Response times are 100 to 1,000 times faster than incandescents so there’s no flicker — just pure dramatic light.
Versatility. Every day, LEDs are replacing incandescent lamps all around the world. The only limit is your imagination.

Let us fine-tune our LEDs to make them perfect for your application.

Although LEDs can successfully replace incandescent and other forms of illumination in almost all cases, there are some considerations which must be taken into account.

Unlike incandescent lamps, LEDs produce light in a single wavelength and a single direction. To make them work in a variety of applications, We alters variables such as the angle of illumination, the intensity, the color and the base. We can design cluster arrays to increase the amount of illumination, or package them as bargraphs or with right angles.

How To Measure The Lifespan Of White LEDs

Using this definition, at normal operating temperatures, the best white LEDs have been found to have a useful life of around 35,000-50,000 hours (that’s between four and six years of continuous operation). For comparison, a 75-watt incandescent light bulb lasts about 1,000 hours; a comparable CFL lasts 8,000 to 10,000 hours. However, LED lifetime depends greatly on operating temperature. An increase in operating temperature of 10 °C can cut the useful life of an LED in half.

What is Solid-State Lighting?

Technological developments in the last two decades have allowed LEDs to be used in signal devices, like traffic lights and exit signs, and in some limited illumination applications, such as flashlights. However, cutting-edge research now shows a bright future for solid-state lighting as the next generation of light sources for general illumination, from homes to commercial applications. The Lighting Research Center is working to make that happen.

Why LED?

LED is increasingly used in a variety of lighting applications because it offers many benefits, including:

SSL Quality Advocates

SSL Quality Advocates introduces the Lighting Facts™ label, similar to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Nutrition Facts label.The Lighting Facts label provides a quick and simple summary of product performance data as measured by the new industry standard for testing photometric performance, IESNA LM-79-2008.The Lighting Facts label reports product performance results in five areas: lumens, efficacy, watts, correlated color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI).
