LEDs

What Are LEDs?

The primary benefit of LED technology is the tremendous cost savings for the user as a result of eliminating replacement cost, lowering power consumption, and reducing operating temperatures. Moreover, LED lamps improve efficiency by providing reliable status indication.

When cold, an incandescent filament draws ten times as much current as it does during normal operation. The initial powering of hundreds of incandescent bulbs simultaneously causes significant voltage surges that lead to lamp failures.

LED lamps are designed with series resistors to limit the operating current, resulting in no cold filament current variation.

Designed as drop-in replacements, LED lamps offer several advantages compared to incandescent bulbs.

LEDs At Work

Using LEDs at work and saving money while maintaining good lighting requires thought and some basic change. Most work areas need at least two types of lighting:

• Light to navigate the work space safely
• Light to carry out the task at hand (task lighting)

Since LED light bulbs are directional, they are perfect for task lighting. With a little planning and experimentation you will achieve the setup that is right for the job. The only difference you will notice will be the 90% savings on your electric bill!

At work, LED light bulbs can be real money- and headache-savers. Install them in hard-to-reach areas to cut down on maintenance costs, or in areas where a vibration-resistant light is of the essence - like in an emergency corridor, in a workshop, or down by a fuse box.
