LEDs are the first light source in history that do not require heat to
generate light. This significant factor attributes to LEDs status as the
most efficient light source known to mankind, next to the sun. LEDs are
solid state light engines, requiring no filaments or glass, which makes
them extremely rugged and shock resistant.
- LEDs last
up to 100,000 hours, at least 10x as long as most forms of conventional
illumination.
- LEDs are
80% more energy efficient than standard lighting.
- LEDs use
low voltage DC current, making them safer to work with.
- LEDs can
illuminate in any color of the visual spectrum, and do not require gels
to do so. They are fully programmable, and able to emit 16,000,000 colors
in any pattern imaginable.
- LEDs can
operate in harsh environments and withstand temperatures ranging from
-40 c to +85 c.
- LEDs are
extremely rugged and shock resistant, unlike filament bulbs.
- LEDs are
environmentally friendly, and unlike Metal Halide, HPS/LPS, and Fluorescent
bulbs, do not require mercury or toxic and flammable gases to operate.
- LEDs produce
very little heat, allowing them greater versatility in applications
for which conventional lighting simply will not work.
