LED Lighting

Nowadays, thanks to their peculiarities such as the high efficiency and the very long lifetime, LEDs are getting more and more popular, thus they are pushing innovation of current lamp types and giving a strong contribution to reduce the energy consumption for internal or external lighting. This also happens in street lighting applications, where the higher efficiency and lifetime are vital for reducing costs. LED lamp has to have high efficiency and at least similar lifetime, in order to guarantee the operation free from maintenance required by this kind of applications during the LED useful lifetime.

The use of high power LEDs in lighting applications is becoming increasingly popular due to rapid improvements in lighting efficiency, longer life, higher reliability and overall cost effectiveness. Dimming functions are more easily implemented in LEDs, and they are more robust and offer wider design flexibility compared to other light sources.

Applications suitable for the use of LEDs include lighting for streets, stadiums, fairs and exhibitions, shops, interiors, as well as for decorative lighting, outdoor wall lighting and consumer lighting such as lamps and ballasts. Therefore, LED use for lighting is likely to represent an increasingly large proportion of the lighting market in the future.

Innovative Lighting Solutions New digital lighting technologies are helping reshape the office environment.  More efficient, more adaptable, sustainable b LED based lighting solutions support the varied needs.   A 30% reduction in energy use is equivalent to an increase in net operating income and building asset value of 5 percent.  Incorporating occupancy sensors, dimmers or day lighting maximizes building performance even more and will further increase savings from lighting.  Already lasting longer than most conventional types of lighting, LEDs naturally fit into any lighting control scheme and their longevity is not affected by switching or dimming, reducing maintenance costs saving even more.

Unlimited Possibilities LEDs, like an artist’s pallet, allow architects and lighting designers to create subtle differences and set the scene with varying shades of white or color light.  They may choose a warmer, softer white color temperature to help create an old world feel for a historic city center, or use a crisper brighter white light to enhance safe in a train station or on a busy street.  The designer determines the intense of color and light, creating the right lighting for each situation.  Optical control of a directed light source offers opportunities to “tune” the lighting application for individual situations.  No longer do you have to design around a single, large globe of light.  Glare, hot-spots, uniformity and light pollution are all easily addressed with LEDs.
