Why LED Lighting Solutions |
|
Technology is changing lives at a pace never before witnessed in all of human history, and with it, the way we see the world. More than a hundred years ago the incandescent filament brought illumination to the night, multiplying human productivity at an exponential rate. Later, fluorescent light rose up as a power-saving alternative to the incandescent.
Now there is a new source of light and once again on the cusp of transformational change Light Emitting Diodes, more commonly known as LED. A low power and high-efficiency technology created with non-toxic materials, LED lamps are the next generation lighting device, leading the way into the green age of illumination. Because LED lighting is safe, long-lasting and increasingly cost-effective, it will play an important role in creating a more environmentally sustainable future for many years to come.
Since year 2007, LED lighting has witnessed wider acceptability in all types of lighting applications like Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Automotive Exterior, Decorative, etc in addition to the successful applications like Signaling, Display, Signage, Indication etc. The evolution of White LEDˇs in different Sizes, Power Ratings and Brightness with ever increasing efficacy has opened new horizons in replacing conventional lighting products.
Some of the reasons why LED lighting is the most suitable lighting device to replace the existing age old lighting products are as under: |
|
|
|
Reduce Maintenance Cost |
|
LED lamps can last up to 50000 hours with proper thermal and power management - 25 times longer than incandescent, 20 times longer than halogen and 8 times longer than compact fluorescent lamps. Such high life spans will not only reduce ever increasing maintenance cost but will also protect the place of application from wears & tears which is caused by removing the fixtures for maintenance at regular intervals. |
|
Reduce Energy Bills |
|
Energy consumption can be reduced by up to 80% compared to standard Dichroic low-wattage halogen, Incandescent lamps & CFL Downlights critical in a time when energy costs are skyrocketing. Low energy usage translates directly into significant cost savings, especially in commercial applications where large quantities of lamps are used for longer durations. In addition, LED lights generate very low heat compared to any of the existing lighting devices thereby lowering energy costs on Air-conditioning, Refrigeration, etc. |
|
Protect the Environment |
|
Lower energy usage leads to less Power generation requirement thereby saving the environment from less CO2 emissions in atmosphere and also saving of natural resources like Coal, Petroleum, Water, etc. In addition, LEDˇs are Solid State Devices there by devoid of toxic mercury and other gases used by existing lighting sources like CFL, Halogens, etc. LED based lighting technology is by far the only green lighting alternative available which doesnˇt require sacrifice in color, appearance and functionality. |
|
Zero emissions of harmful rays |
|
LEDˇs do not radiate any Ultra Violet (UV) or Infra Red (IR) rays which can be harmful to humans. Due to the absence of UV ray emissions, Insects do not get attracted near the light source which is observed very oftenly in public places and Industrial setups. Sectors like Food Processing, Pharmaceutical Industries, Restaurants, etc can benefit largely from such UV free light sources. |
|
Low Voltage Operational |
|
LED lights can be operated at low DC voltages which makes them one of the most suitable light sources for Solar based lighting solutions and automotive interior lighting solutions. |
