Energy Saving Lighting

Saving you money:

LED and SMD lighting use diodes to generate light. Because there is no filament or in the case of tubes no ballast much more of the energy is turned into light and far less energy is turned into heat meaning that an LED/SMD fitting produces more light per WATT than traditional lighting methods. This energy saving can be as high as 66%. We generally replace a 58W T8 tube with an 18W SMD Tube.

As well as saving money Energy saving lighting will help you reduce your Carbon footprint.

LED/SMD lamps have an average life span of over 50,000 hours or 5.7 years. Just imagine the savings if you didn’t have to replace a lamp for over 5 years. LEDs and SMDs are also far more resistant to vibration and are ideal for machine shops.

No Flicker, No Warm Up, Just Light

LED’s and SMD’s do not require any warm up time, and produce no flicker. Turn the switch and you are greeted with instant light. Because there is no ballast there is no problem with warm re striking of the light and no harmful chemicals to worry about when disposing of the lamps.

What are LED's & SMD's

LED stands for light emitting diode. Unlike incandescent lamps they don’t have a filament to burn out and they don’t get especially hot. Light is generated by the movement of electrons in the material. By housing the material in a plastic bulb the light can be focused in a particular direction.

SMD stands for Surface Mounted Device, and in this case refers to an LED that is mounted on the surface of the circuit board. SMD’s are not formed into a lamp and generally produce a wider spread of light than older LED designs. The SMD chip is coated in epoxy resin for additional durability.
