| WHAT IS LED LIGHTING |
The letters in L.E.D stand for Light Emitting Diode. These diodes are a semiconductor light source that will conduct electricity in only one direction. LED lights are composed of layers of silicon and seeded with atoms of rare-earth elements such as phosphorus, germanium and arsenic. The different layers of the diode is called the die and light is generated between the junction of the materials used. Advancement in LED technology means that they can now be used in modern lighting applications where incandescent light bulbs where traditionally used.
LED lights have a life expectancy of up to 100,00 hours which equates to about 30 to 40 years of use.
LED lighting was first seen in 1962 and have come a long way from these earlier versions. The earliest L.E.Ds only emited one colour of light that was unsuitable for residential and commercial purposes. Recent technological advances in the materials and structures used now mean that modern L.E.D lights emit light in all visible frequencies – including white light. The LED lights that we supply have many advantages over incandescent / flourescent lights including lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, smaller size, more durable, reliable and providing the same output in light as their traditional counterparts.
