Uniform lighting throughout your property. LED lighting does not dim or colour change through its effective life unlike the deterioration of metal halide lighting, especially evident in the retail environment.
LED lights are at full brightness as soon as they are turned on. Metal halide lights take some time to warm up to operating temperature.
No cooling down and re-starting lag time following power disruptions. LED lights operate at full capacity when switched on, unlike metal halide lamps that when tripped off, require a cool down period before coming back on again.
Many can be retro fitted in current fittings or ceiling spaces. The new LED tube light never flicker and can be dimmed and will fit into the standard fluoro fittings.
LEDs are directional, focusing light in ways that are useful in homes and commercial settings. They emit light in a specific direction, reducing the need for reflectors and diffusers that can trap light. This feature makes LEDs more efficient for many uses such as recessed downlights and task lighting. With other types of lighting, the light must be reflected to the desired direction and more than half of the light may never leave the fixture.
LEDs are a coloured light source and are designed to produce white light using a number of methods. As a result, they can actually produce white light in a number of “shades” or “colour temperatures” just like a CFL or fluorescent tube – from warm-white (similar to regular incandescent and halogen lamps, 2700 to 3000 Kelvin) to cool-white (around 4000 Kelvin) or bluish white (daylight, 5000 or more Kelvin).
From traffic, street, car park lights and vehicle brake lights to TVs and display cases, LEDs are used in a wide range of applications because of their unique characteristics, which include compact size, ease of maintenance, resistance to breakage, and the ability to focus the light in a single direction.
