Light Emitting Diode technologies have many advantages over traditional light fixtures which is why they are being used in so many new projects, from architectural accents to retail spaces.
Extremely Long Life
LEDs have a functional lifetime far superior to more traditional lighting technologies. An LED can last from 30,000 to 100,000 hours, almost 50 times longer than most incandescent light sources (2000 hours) or up to 10 times longer than fluorescent sources (10,000 hours).
Efficiency
Compared to conventional lighting systems, LEDs consume less energy, emit little heat, and operate at a low wattage without sacrificing performance. High performance LED optics can drastically increase fixture efficiency whereas incandescent and fluorescent sources often require external reflectors to collect the produced light and direct it in a usable manner.
Unsurpassed color benefits
LEDs utilize a simple RGB color mixing approach that enables them to produce millions of different colors by simply adjusting the intensity of each grouping of red, green or blue device. The colors they produce can be highly saturated, at a variety of color temperatures. Additionally, when dimming LEDs the color tone is not changed while the current passing through them is lowered, unlike incandescent lamps, which produce a yellowing color. LEDs emit no ultra-violet or infrared radiation, which makes them perfect for museums and galleries.
Form factor
Due to the extremely small size of LEDs, fixture designs can be drastically smaller than conventional lighting alternatives. This opens up a world of creative solutions and installation options for lighting designs. The solid state technology of LEDs also makes them shock and vibration resistant.
