Advantages of LED

LEDs offer numerous benefits due to their mode of operation. The top 3 advantages include Energy Efficiency, Time Efficiency and Colour Versatility.

Energy Efficiency

The LED method of producing light loses far less energy to heat than do other lighting technologies

(80-100 lumens/watt)

85% more efficient than incandescent bulbs. 50% more efficient than fluorescent tubes.

25% more efficient than the CFL’s plasma-tube approach.

Time Efficiency

LED bulb lasts 50,000-100,000 hours. You could go 20 years without having to change an LED light bulb.

Solid-state lights like LEDs are more stable light sources than incandescent or fluorescent bulbs, and the

difference is startling: A typical incandescent bulb lasts about 750 hours.

LEDs fail by dimming over time rather than an abrupt burn-out (failure is considered as dimmed by 30%).

Colour Versatility

White, Warm White, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow with very good CRI (colour rendering index) > 80.

LEDs can produce the same soft, white light as a regular bulb.

RGB multi-colour control possible by which you can set any colour or colour changing

Hard Wearing & Safe

Repetitive switching on/off does not influence LED lifespan and luminosity.

NO Flickering. NO Adverse Glare. NO Ultra Violet and Infrared radiations. Cold lighting source.

Bulbs do not contain Lead or Mercury.

Starts without any delay. Solid state lighting being impact resistant.
