Why Choose LEDs?

LEDs offer a wide variety of vast improvements over all other types of lighting / illumination. Read the list below for some of the most significant advantages.

• Life time expectancy is far beyond that of ordinary bulbs/tubes (typ.>100.000 hrs ~10years continuous). This means minimal downtime for the machine.


• Small physical dimensions. This means flexibility with regard to fitting the light source into the application and enables a wider spectrum of illumination techniques.


• Low voltage supply means simple installation.


• LED Lighting has a relatively narrow spectrum (when non-white) which reduces acromatic aberration in the lens which again gives a better contrast.


• LEDs consume very low power consumption. This means low cost of energy (Example: 2*150W halogen bulb vs. 2*3 W LED: 2575KWh saved pr. year).


• LED's have nearly no heat dissipation. This way LEDs can be mounted in many small home and business applications with no worry of overheating or fire, a common problem with halogen lights.


• No fan is required meaning no dust problems.

Energy & Cost Benefits

The operational life of most LED lamps are 100,000+ hours. This is over 11 years of continuous operation, or 22 years at 50% operation, even more if you keep them on only during business hours.

The long operational life of an led lamp is a stark contrast to the average life of an incandescent bulb, which is approximately 5000 hours. If the lighting device needs to be embedded into a very inaccessible place, using LEDs would virtually eliminate the need for routine bulb replacement.
