> Why LED? What’s so great about LEDs? LEDs can be used to build energy-efficient lighting products that save energy, help protect the environment, reduce maintenance costs and make people and things look much more attractive than traditional lighting. And they can last much longer than traditional lighting. Just how energy-efficient are LED lights? LED lighting can save up to 85 percent of the electricity used by incandescent bulbs and up to 50 percent of electricity used by fluorescents LED Light List of Advantages:Reduced energy consumption and lower operation costs: LED are more efficient than compact fluorescent lampsVery low maintenance costsNo ultraviolet UV rays / infrared IR radiationExtra long life: 60,000 hours or moreNo mercury! (energy saving lamps and fluorescent tubes contain mercury)Low carbon footprint: up to 90% less CO2 emissions through energy savingsFlicker free light. Instant On/OFFLight can be directed with precision opticsExcellent color saturationHigh luminous flux stability with changes in ambient temperatureVery high brightness stability over other light sourcesVery compact design, many design and form factor optionsDirect LED replacements available for traditional incandescent lampsFull brightness immediately when switched onMinimum heat outputUses safe low voltage electricityHigh mechanical resistance or impact resistanceNo need for ballast, capacitor and starter componentsLED light does not disturb insects, since no UV light is emitted
