LED Lighting Benefits

LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes – tiny electronic devices producing light when electrons flow through them – a highly sophisticated new technology that provides infinitely more benefits than you can get with old-fashioned light bulbs.

To learn more about LED technology, view this LED Technology Tutorial which was created by Lumileds Lighting, the world's leading manufacturer of high-power LEDs.

Quality – Conventional bulbs produce a terrible yellow light, with rings and dark spots. That’s because incandescent bulbs peak in the red range. But LEDs have a spectral peak in the blue range, producing a pure and intense white light that allows you to see more. Compare the light quality

Economy – LEDs use a fraction of the power. Fresh batteries will power a conventional bulb for a few hours. The same batteries will power a LED light for a hundred hours. That’s a huge difference in how many batteries you’ll need to buy. See the savings

Durability – LEDs aren’t made of glass and have no filaments to break, making them impact resistant and a lot tougher than conventional bulbs. They rarely break or need to be replaced.

Dependability – With a life span of over 10,000 hours, you can use one of these lights continuously for a minimum of 11 years. Compare that to a high performance bulb that’ll only give you 20-40 hours.

Safety – LEDs produce very little heat, require such a small current and are completely encapsulated, making them infinitely safer than conventional bulbs.

Other Lighting Technologies

Luxeon - The Tactical Solution, a tighter light beam. Lumileds Lighting patented the Luxeon Power Light Source. It is the first to combine the brightness of conventional lighting with the small footprint, long life and other advantages of LEDs. To learn more about Luxeon lighting, watch the Lumileds Luxeon Overview Video.
