LED lights - LED lighting information
LED (light emitting diode) is a relatively new light source to the domestic market, which is growing in its applications almost daily. As a light source it is now comparable to an incandescent, is more efficient than a fluorescent and has the longest life span of any light source.
Type of light – a bright, clear, directional light. The beam size depends on the number of LED put together.
Lifespan – 50,000 hours (years)
Colour temperature – similar to tungsten at 2,000/3,000 degrees Kelvin
Advantages
&bull Long life span
&bull Very cost effective, low voltage and low energy consumption
&bull Low operating temperature
&bull Available in a wide range of colours
&bull Being used to develop innovative products
Disadvantages
&bull Most products don’t allow for an LED to be changed as they are wired into the circuitry
&bull Not good for projecting light a long distance
&bull Cannot be regularly dimmed, they require electronic circuitry built into the product.
