What is LED lighting?

LED Lights are lights which use light emitting diodes (LED’s) to generate light. This form of lighting is extremely energy efficient and long lasting. LED lights create less heat than traditional lights, which means they last for much longer and your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard to keep the place cool. LED lights are a relatively new technology and can help you save up to 90% on your lighting costs.

Why use LED lighting?

Taking China for example, Lighting contributes about 30% to the average China households energy bills, so it makes up an important part of the electricity you are paying for. Most lighting today is inefficient and is costing you money and emitting vast amounts of C02 into the atmosphere.

In China lighting represents about 12% of carbon emissions from househoulds and about 25% from businesses. LED lights are a great energy efficient alternative and they can save you money and help reduce your impact on the environment.

Up until recently LED lighting has been a very niche industry mainly supported by Architectural lighting companies. However as LED lighting technology improves significantly each year, LED lighting is fastly becoming more popular and is working its way into mainstream lighting applications.

What types of LED lighting products are there?

There are many different types of LED lighting products available on the market. It is common to see an LED fitting which contain a cluster of low quality LEDs in order to generate any effective light output. Needless to say, most of these products are cheap and are likely to fail much quicker than the 100,000 hour lifetime it suggests.

Some of the most common LED lighting products include:

LED Fluorescent Tube

LED Bulb

LED Street Lamp

LED Downlight

LED Spotlighting

LED Flexible Strip

LED Display

What are the benefits of using LED lighting?

There are a number of reasons why LED lighting should replace traditional forms of lighting:

1. Extremely long lifespan - LEDs can last from 30,000 hours to over 100,000 hours depending on the type and quality of the LED;

2. Low power consumption - LEDs generally consume around 90% less power than halogen light;

3.  BASIX - with stricter BASIX requirements being introduced, LED s help you reach the required target quicker than any other form of lighting;

4.  Low heat - most LED lighting products produce little to no heat resulting in savings in air conditioning;

5. Environmentally friendly - LED s produce very low carbon emissions so are great for the environment;

6. A wide range of colors - LED lighting is available in many shades of white as well as a many different colors, including color changing;

7. Overall saving of $$$ - LED is proven to save you money over time due to their low power consumption and heat emission.
