The advantages & benefits
of LED lighting


Why bother with LED lighting? "Normal" lights have served us faithfully for
generations. But they rely on fragile filaments and glass tubes to produce their light,
technology first invented in the nineteenth century. Technology has taken giant leaps
forward since then and tiny Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are now set to become a
standard source of illumination for the 21st Century.


What's so fantastic about LEDs ? Why all the fuss ?

1. 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.

2. ECONOMY: Despite the capital outlay, the use of LED lighting can offer significant
cost savings over time, not only in terms of reduced energy consumption, but
maintenance as well.

3. STRENGTH & RELIABILITY: The filament in a normal bulb is very fragile,
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.

4. 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 cannot compare
with 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.

5. IMPROVED SAFETY AND SECURITY: 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.

6. "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.
