Lighting technology is evolving. Fast. A powerful combination of high energy costs, environmental concerns and Government
pressure is driving demand for more efficient lighting solutions. But early attempts to replace the humble light bulb have
been less than impressive, leading many people to cling to old technology. That’s all changing. LED lighting is
revolutionizing the way that we light our lives. We are here to brighten up your day and give you the latest facts
that will help you to cut lighting costs and protect the environment.

Compact Fluorescent bulbs are not the solution
|
|
 |
Compact Fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) have been heavily promoted by bulb manufacturers, environmental campaigners and power companies.
And CFLs are efficient – far more so than incandescent bulbs. But the technology is flawed.
|
|
|
A single CFL bulb contains enough Mercury to contaminate 6000 gallons of fresh water. Mercury is the most toxic pollutant, after
radioactive substances, on the US Environmental Protection Authority's list of industrial pollutants. By using CFL bulbs, we may
reduce CO2 pollution, but we will replace it with widespread pollution of the water table.
|
|
|
CFL bulbs emit significant levels of harmful UV light.
|
|
|
CFL bulbs are not great to use. They take time to warm up, they flicker and they are not visually attractive.
|
|
|
Migraine and Epilepsy symptoms can be triggered by the high frequency flicker from CFL bulbs.
|
|
White Light LED technology is up to 30% more efficient than CFL and up to 85% more efficient
|
|
|
Commercially available LEDs now exceed 100 lumens per watt output at working temperature.
|
|
LED lights last far longer than other technologies than incandescent bulbs
|
|
|
Incandescent lights last 1000 hours, CFL can last up to 11,000 hours. But LED lights last over 50,000 hours.
|
|
LED lighting is robust and maintenance-free
|
|
|
Solid state electronics are not affected by shocks and vibrations, allowing you to fit and forget.
|
|
LED light is pure and clean
|
|
|
LED light is generated at very precise wavelengths, which means that white light LEDs do not produce harmful UV.
|
|
|
LED lights do not contain harmful toxins or heavy metals, so they can be safely recycled.
|
|
LED bulbs fit in existing fittings
|
|
|
Replacement bulbs are available for most standard home and office fittings, making a straightforward
bulb swap the only hurdle to overcome to benefit from LED savings.
|
|
Rapid return on investment
|
|
|
Typical payback through energy cost reductions for installations of LED bulbs takes 18 months, depending on use.
|
|
Long life means less environmental impact through wasted packaging, transport and disposal
|
|
|
Saving energy is not confined to the LED lighting technology but includes the environmental impact of fulfilling orders.
The more often you need to order the more harmful emissions are created by delivery. Save money, time and our environment
with Smart LED Technology.
