LED Lighting
LED light sources are making a huge impact on today’s luminary market. With lumen outputs of 150w per watt of electrical input these low heat, low energy, light emitting diodes will change the face of lighting forever!
LED’s are offering huge improvements to the low output, poorly coloured and narrow beam LED pushed onto the market some years ago. It can be difficult to know the difference until the lamps are switched on.
There are a lot of factors to be taken into consideration and advice from our expert team is essential when choosing a quality product for your environment, please contact us for further information to get the best out of an LED solution.

LED – The Benefits
Below you will find a list of factors get you started on the benefits of LED technology…
Environmentally Friendly
Switching to low energy, solid state lighting benefits the environment! The low power requirements of LED light sources make them ideal for self-contained, solar or wind powered installations, particularly in remote locations. LEDs consume far less energy than standard light bulbs, leading to greatly reduced energy costs. LEDs also require far less energy to manufacture than other light sources, reducing their environmental impact even further!
Energy Efficient & Economical
Despite their initial high price, the use of LED lighting can offer significant cost savings over time, not only in terms of reduced energy consumption, but maintenance as well.
Long Life
Even in hostile conditions, the typical working life of an LED can be several tens of thousands of hours; most domestic bulb filaments expire after just a couple of thousand hours and even compact fluorescent lamps come nowhere near the working life of LEDs. Also, LEDs don't suddenly burn out - they slowly fade over time, giving ample opportunity to plan replacements (which will be rare - several years with normal use and possibly even decades). Even at the end of its working life, an LED will still be giving some light.
Strength & Reliability
The filament in a normal bulb is a very fragile object, easily broken by a sudden shock or "soft" drop. An LED is encased in virtually unbreakable high strength optical grade resin. There is no glass or filament to break, making LED light sources perfect for rugged or demanding environments, or installations where access is difficult.
Improved Security & Safety
The low heat and low voltages associated with LEDs make them a far safer source of light. No glass to break, no white-hot filament, no flames and no noxious fumes.
Design Flexibility
The intrinsically safe nature of LEDs, combined with their long term reliability and minute size, mean that they can be built into the fabric of almost any structure or object. Imagine a stairway, lit by its handrail; or a room illuminated by the furniture. With LEDs, anything can become a source of light and they offer designers and architects a lighting tool of unprecedented versatility.
