LED Lighting

LEDs are solid-state electronic devices that create light - the full term is Light Emitting Diode.

LED lamps can operate for 35,000 hours or more this compares with 6,000 hours for most other types of lamps e.g. sodium/filament/halogen.

Some of the benefits of LED lighting are;

• Reduced Energy Costs – 90% energy saving compared with halogen lights (MR16 and GU10).
• Lamps last longer – giving reduced maintenance costs.
• LEDs always start at full brightness.
• LEDs are not affected by frequent on-off switching.
• LEDs also generate very little unwanted heat - savings on air conditioning costs!
• LEDs emit a much higher percentage of light in the desired direction.
• LEDs contain no mercury or other dangerous substances.
• LEDs emit no damaging ultraviolet light, so they will not cause fading and ageing of artwork or other sensitive materials.
