Why use LED Lighting?

Lifespan

The cornerstone of the technological advancements in LED Lighting are attributed to the efficiency, lifespan and quality of light LEDs produce.  Where traditional methods of lighting are inefficient and produce wasted energy in the form of heat.  LED Lighting excels at using a very minimal energy and turning it into an amazing amount of light, thus, creating efficiencies that far exceed any other form of lighting in the market today 

Color quality and light control

LEDs have a superior ability to emit a wide variety of color temperatures. They consistently distribute light without the use of filters or gels to distort color temperature. LEDs require a coating to be applied to each diode individually. This coating creates color consistency which is vital to achieving the desired color temperature.

LEDs also have a superior ability to control the angle at which light is directed, and can also operate on standard dimmers.

 Color temperature - LEDs are available in 2600K - 7000K  + Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and many custom color's.

Voltage regulation - Vital for long lifespan

The term voltage regulation simply means that the bulb can handle fluctuations from the power source. Electricity has a tendency to fluctuate daily and can potentially cause harm to all electrical devices if not properly protected. Voltage regulation is crucial to the lifespan of LED Lighting. When a bulb or lamp is not properly regulated and the power surges, it can cause irreparable damage to the bulb or lamp. Voltage regulation simply protects the LEDs, circuitry and components from unnecessary harm.

  11-15VDC

  10-30V DC

  100 -120V AC

The Voltages above demonstrate the range of electrical fluctuation a specific bulb can handle.

Durability

The term Solid State Lighting is the catalyst behind the durability of LED Lighting. With no filaments to break or burn out, LEDs will withstand electrical fluctuations, shock, vibration and day to day wear, they will also operate in extreme environments from -40°C to +60°C.

For many owners of Recreational vehicles or Yachts, the vibration from the engine, road, ocean or other environmental element often shortens the life of traditional lighting. LED Lighting has stood the test of time in electronic devices and is quickly becoming the consumer's choice for efficient illumination.

Thermal Management

LEDs will only reach their potential lifespan if they are properly thermally managed, heat needs to be dissipated efficiently and effectively away from the LEDs.  Advancements in the LED chip will allow for extended lifespan as long as the product is thermally managed correctly.
