Lighting with LED technology

LEDs today are among the fastest-growing lighting technologies with many advantages over the other types of lighting.
The LED (Light Emitting Diodes) is a semiconductor which emits light when supplied with minimal electricity. Its color depends on the composition of the material (a special blend of silicon crystals) used for its manufacture.
The application of LEDs to lamp technology is revolutionizing the LED lighting industry, as it has advantages over the older technology of incandescent lamps and the newest of the fluorescent lamps.

Key Benefits of LED Lights

They have a long service life (up to 50000 hours), ie over 10 years with 10 hours/day operation. 
They are economical in their operation, as they have high lighting efficiency. This means they produce high light energy with low power consumption (they consume about 1/10 of the incandescent lamps and 1/5 of the fluorescent lamps). 
They are ecological, environmentally friendly and human, as they do not contain hazardous substances (mercury, lead, etc.). 
They have high luminous efficiency, which they maintain to the end. 
They do not require time to give their maximum brightness (instantaneous ignition). 
They do not produce harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
They do not emit high radiation. 
They are available in a variety of types of bases, shapes and light temperatures. 
LED lamps are suitable for domestic and professional use indoors and outdoors (waterproof). 
They are also a very good choice as decorative (Christmas lights), as they have other advantages besides low power consumption, such as long life, no risk of overheating due to long service life, connecting multiple lamps in series to a socket.

The revolution in lighting with LED technology

Image
The market for luminaires will exceed 110 billion by 2020. and is comparable in size to that of televisions and home computers. Population growth and the ongoing urban tension increase international lighting demand. At the same time, the continuing reduction of "raw materials" worldwide and climate change are raising concerns about the future of the planet. Governments around the world introduce legislation to increase energy efficiency and/or eliminate energy-intensive products and the lighting industry responds by investing enormous amounts of money in the development of more efficient technologies. The discovery of LEDs revolutionizes the lighting market and transforms the industry. Although LEDs are still an expensive technology, the huge industry investment reduces its price by 30% per year, resulting in rapid entry into all applications. Industry experts say that by 2020, the market for LED lights will exceed 65 billion euros, equivalent to 65% of the total li

Tips for outdoor lighting

Image
First of all, we must realize that the lighting needs of outdoor space - in relation to an interior, are completely different.  There are common parameters, such as the proper distribution of lighting, similar to the use of space, but since there is no structure in the outdoors, we need to focus our attention on specific points. The use of space determines the amount of LED lighting we need.  For example, in restaurants, the lighting should be sufficient to create a pleasant atmosphere, but at the same time, one can eat or have a problem-free activity (there are countless restaurants where you do not see what you eat). to highlight, to highlight the architectural elements of the building (faces - vertical elements), to live the vegetation (trees - shrubs).  Each case is specialized depending on the subject to be illuminated.  Another category is signage, it concerns passageways (stairs, paths) and delimitation (pillars) so that you can move safely. A very important issue that

Hidden lighting: why choose LED strips?

Image
Hidden illumination, that is, illumination with means not directly visible to the eye, is a very modern practice for indoors.  It gives us the necessary light for each space, with discretion.  Their uses are too many: plasterboards in kitchen and living room, in bedrooms, business premises (eg hotels), bars and massages, or even on stairs, cupboards, and furniture.  Apart from using light tubes, something we used to do earlier, we tend to use LEDs today.  But why would you prefer such a film? LED strips can be cut every 10, 20, or even fewer centimeters. Unlike conventional phototubes, they have a long life. They are available in a wide variety of colors, but also in tones from hot to cold. The lighting of each tape is analogous to the type and Watt. They are very economical in power consumption compared to other lamps. They are waterproof for outdoor use, such as stairs. There are dimmer-enabled items to adjust their brightness according to the user's needs They are
