why LED?
LED or Solid State Lighting (SSL) is an evolving technology and is the light source of the future. Ecolight are at the forefront of this technology and here are some of the benefits of adopting LED lighting.
BENEFITS OF LED LIGHTING
ENERGY SAVINGS
LED lighting can save up to 80% in energy consumption over traditional lighting products.
LONG LIFE
LEDs long life cycle upwards of 50,000 hours offering significant maintenance savings.
ADAPTABLE LIGHT SOUCE
LED can be adapted and used in most environments
LUMEN OUTPUT
LEDs produce a high lumen output per watt.
FOCUSED LIGHT
LEDs directional light source and therefore reduces ‘light pollution’ – particularly beneficial
in street lighting.
CARBON REDUCTION
LED lighting will lower your carbon emissions by reducing energy consumption.
INCREASED SECURITY
With a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) of greater than 80, LED lighting produces clean and
crisp light which enhances CCTV footage and increases security in public areas.
INSTANT ON
LEDs are ‘instant’ on and reach their full brightness immediately unlike fluorescents, metal
halide, halogen or CFL’s.
NON TOXIC & SAFE
Unlike fluorescent type lighting, LEDs do not contain any mercury and can be recycled
safely.
DURABLE
LEDs are very rugged. They have no filament that can be damaged due to shock or vibration.
SHATTERPROOF
LEDs are manufactured with shatterproof materials.
NO UV EMISSIONS
LEDs produce no UV radiation.
LOW HEAT
LEDs produce relatively low heat.
