LED Technology Facts

Light Emitting Diode (LED) based lamps are the next generation of lighting technology; they are a much more efficient form of lighting than either incandescent bulbs or fluorescent tubes and contain absolutely no toxic chemicals.

Because LEDs produce light so efficiently, they can provide the same illumination using only a fraction of the electricity of other lighting. Being a solid-state device LEDs are also very robust and long-lasting, they don’t emit UV light, are a “cool” light source producing negligible heat and because they’re so small they’re adaptable to many lighting solutions.

Only a few years ago, LED lighting was being hailed as a rapidly-developing technology set to become the norm.
Today that prediction is becoming a reality with the trend towards LED lighting gaining momentum as they move from the now familiar realm of traffic lights, automotive lights and torches to commercial, domestic and even street lighting.
