Why LED?

LED is used because it is:

Robust & Shock Resistant LEDs are solid state devices which have no filaments or glass tubes to break.

Long Life Depending on the type, typical life for an LED can be 50,000 hours (5 years+) to 100,000 hours (11 years+) continuous operation. Energy Efficient LED's do not waste energy as a filament does which has to be first heated until white hot to emit light.

Low Voltage LEDs can operate from as little as 5 volts but can easily be configured to work from a wide range of voltages to suit specific designs or available power supplies.

Fit and Forget LED's are low maintenance devices and require no servicing during their life.

Simple Installation LED's don't require any special driver circuits, starters, chokes or inverters to operate. They are fully dimmable and can be controlled with simple electronics.

Wide Range of Colours The basic LED colours are Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange and White. Within each colour come a range of shades.

Slimline Design LEDs are physically smaller than many traditional light sources and allow unobtrusive slimline designs to be made.

Sealed Units LEDs do not need to be changed as with fluorescent or filament bulbs so there is no need for a bulb holder / fitting or the need to make the enclosure accessible for changing the bulb. This simplifies product design as the unit can simply be potted in a clear resin to seal the unit. This also makes the unit tamperproof and more vandal resistant.
