80% Energy Savings !!!
A Brief History
Until very recently, LED's were too expensive to use for most lighting applications simply because they are built around advanced semiconductor material. In recent years this price has plummeted making LED's a more cost effective lighting option for a wide variety of applications from direct replacement of 35 watt GU10 with 3 watts through to 400 watt metal halide replaced with 75 watts (YES its not a spelling mistake we did say 75 watts)
A Summary of LED benefits:-
A selection of applications:-
- High Bay Warehouses
- Low Bay Warehouses
- Factories
- Hospitals
- Schools
- Offices
- Sports halls
- Outdoor sports fields
- Car parks
- Architectural wall wash
It's also nice to know the "big boys" agree with us, this is what our friends at PHILIPS have to say:-
- Attractive design
- Up to 80% energy savings compared with standard incandescent lamps
- Extremely long life (45,000 hrs)
- Great for hard to reach areas where maintenance costs are high
- Simple retrofit, plugs into most standard light fittings
- Excellent for light sensitive objects (no UV or infra red)
- Dimmable
We might also add: choice of 3 colours temeratures and cold, soft and warm white.
Finally the best bit: The Government want you save energy so will help you to finance replacement lighting schemes.
